September 9, 2024 at 2:32 amConsistently prompt to respond to calls and the updates was just remarkable. I highly suggest it for the knowledge, skill and attitude. Thank you so much for the incredible things you have taught to my little one. My daughter loved every day at Filkins Childcare centre, everyone is highly attentive and they have a remarkable variety of educational activities.

September 21, 2024 at 3:10 pmThe team are all remarkable and our little one is excited to go each week. We cannot fault the care he has had, team have been so supportive from the highly start! Our little boy started in January following a house move and settled in almost straight away.

November 7, 2024 at 5:20 amSo asked the manager for information. It didn’t take long for her to get back in touch with a solution that was a benefit to all, especially our granddaughter. I cannot speak highly enough of all the team at the childcare centre. The adore and care they show our granddaughter is beyond anything we imagined. It is going to be a wrench for her to leave this year, but I will say without a doubt, that they have done plenty to shape the young lady she is growing into. Thank you, Filkins. We wanted to change the days our granddaughter was at childcare centre.

November 29, 2024 at 5:28 pmThe team are all so compassionate, attentive and attentive and she is greeted with a inviting welcoming smile every day. They consistently make such an effort with the activities they provide throughout the day and make an extra special effort when there is a holiday or celebration. They are highly great at providing updates on development and how her day has been. We are so glad we found The Old Station. We are so cheerful that our kid attends The Old Station.

February 13, 2025 at 6:43 amThe team in the 2-3y room are super, all are fantastic, loving, attentive and expert women. The atmosphere is welcoming, stimulating to learn and make friends. My kids are excited and involved in the activities that are organized every day. The management, which I found not decisive on essential points, and the App need improvements. The kids spend a long time indoors when it’s hot also due to a lack of shelter from the sun. I asked why there were no parasols outside for kids and team on the hottest days, I was told something new would be bought. Two weeks later, I requested an update, having not seen any new parasols/gazebos, and I was mistaken for someone who dictated what to do. I felt misunderstood and misjudged. Anyway, no solution has been found so far. The information about kids’s nutrition is insufficient and confusing. The snack menu and food should be present daily on the app. Moreover, the app is too little updated and not highly exhaustive. My boys are highly cheerful about this childcare centre.

March 10, 2025 at 9:56 amOn day 4, my son was closing the childcare centre door in my face waving to me through the window whilst being held in his key worker’s arms. The team have made him sense so secure and they have worked out how he ticks. The updates are excellent, so much effort is put into their days at the childcare centre. Thank you all so much! I have been blown away by the Filkins childcare centre.

March 13, 2025 at 10:39 amSuch attentive and enjoyable team who take excellent care in discovering the kid as an individual and their interests. Our daughter loves her days there. She has learnt a excellent amount and made a great group of friends. The Old Station Childcare centre Filkins is a fantastic childcare centre and is in a lovely small village setting.

March 13, 2025 at 1:19 pmBut also we don’t seem to be told a lot about how our kid is doing. The parent zone app is rarely updated as well. For the money that is paid for the childcare centre I do find that since the childcare centre manager has changed the service that is being offered has altered massively, and unfortunately is not like the excellent service we used to receive. Recently we have had multiple issues with the childcare centre, mainly due to a lack of updates.

April 2, 2025 at 5:34 pmMy daughter loves going, the updates we received are well constructed and give us a snapshot of her day. She loves her key worker and talks about her all the time at home, which to me shows the bond that she has created with her. The range of activities they do ranges from numeracy and literacy to Forest school. I can only suggest the childcare centre highly as I think it is a excellent setting for a kid to start their education. The childcare centre is remarkable!

April 5, 2025 at 4:20 pmThe team are exceptional and are so attentive to the kids’s needs. They are consistently thinking outside the box and organising events and visits for the kids. My son has been going here for six months and I can honestly say, it is a remarkable childcare centre!

April 7, 2025 at 2:00 pmMy son goes in cheerful to see his key carer every day and comes out with so many stories of all the activities he’s done though out the day. They are consistently highly quick to respond if I have any questions and are highly accommodating to our needs. We are over the moon with the care we have been given at Filkins Old Station Childcare centre.

April 10, 2025 at 4:59 pmOur little one has come on leaps and bounds since attending Filkins, especially in their self‑assurance and language skills. Collecting my little one is a joy as they are consistently so cheerful and eager to tell me all about their day. We are also regularly updated with what they have been doing throughout the day, which we adore, and it means we can continue with activities or discovering ideas at home too. Fabulous childcare centre with such compassionate, reactive and knowledgable team.

April 30, 2025 at 3:27 amMy son has been attending for 10 months and he has come on leaps and bounds with his self‑assurance, speech and general social skills. The team are so attentive and nurturing and my son feels highly secure and looked after there. The outdoor space is second to none which suits him well too.
The updates between the childcare centre and parents is excellent and there is consistently a large range of activities on offer. Filkins is a fantastic childcare centre.
Riley Mayer
May 9, 2025 at 5:29 amShe is highly cheerful there and although she may be one of the eldest, she is content and kept busy doing the things she loves most. The childcare centre is kid-led and will make extra effort to meet my kid’s individual needs. My kid attends Filkins Childcare centre in the preschool room.

May 18, 2025 at 3:37 pmOur kid loves the Old Station Childcare centre, which is the main thing, he sometimes enquires at weekends if he can go to childcare centre today.
The childcare centre itself is a fantastic little place with great outdoor and indoor spaces for him to playtime and learn and small enough for him to know all of his little classmates.
The team are fantastic and keep the kids entertained all day, and also teach the kids a excellent deal, most days we get told about what our little boy has learned that day, and what he did.
It will be a sad day for him and us when he has to leave and move on to big school.

May 20, 2025 at 12:45 amBoth of our kids have attended the childcare centre and have enjoyed it immensely. The team are compassionate and attentive and they consistently have a excellent balance of discovering and enjoyable. It makes things so much easier knowing that, not only are the kids secure and well looked after, but they’re having a lovely time too. Huge thanks to all the team at Filkins Childcare centre, can’t suggest them highly enough. Filkins Childcare centre is a truly fantastic setting.

June 5, 2025 at 10:22 amOur daughter started in September and has not looked back since. All the team are highly welcoming and welcoming which creates a lovely atmosphere for the kids to be in. Every day there seems to be different enjoyable, creative and educational activities – French, yoga, cooking, forest school. She comes back every day excited to tell me what they have been up to. It is easy to get daily feedback on how she is doing or if anything needs to be flagged up. Although she has a key carer, because it is a small setting, all the team are approachable and supportive. I am watching my daughter grow more confident, discovering new skills, making friends and enjoying herself and it is a joy! Thank you Filkins! I would highly suggest Filkins Childcare centre.
Lennon Parker
June 16, 2025 at 2:59 pmI was highly nervous about the change of setting. I have to say this is by far the best childcare centre/childcare setting that my son has had. He is exceptionally cheerful here. The days are never the same, forest school is such a excellent addition to the childcare centre. The team are also faultless. I would suggest this childcare centre over and over again, without a doubt. My kid moved nurseries due to a house move.

June 27, 2025 at 8:53 pmThe team are consistently thinking of new and interesting activities to keep discovering fresh and exciting. My daughter is so loved and looked after at The Old Station Childcare centre and they are fantastic at exploring discovering with her in areas that she shows interest in.
