November 17, 2021 at 12:00 amOur son is extremely happy at The Old Station Nursery, Henley and is developing so well. He has so many different activities to do and spends the majority of his time outdoors which is what we wanted for him. He enjoys the food and sleeps well and has made friends which is so lovely for us to see via the app each day. It’s such a relief to know he enjoys his day when we drop him off each morning.

November 18, 2021 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been very happy since starting at The Old Station and is always eager to go. The children appear to have many activities to keep them busy and challenged throughout the day with good variety. She especially enjoys the trips out to their Forest school and their other outdoor activities. The staff are always happy to help and keep us updated on her development on a weekly basis through their online app, which is easy to access. She has made many friends and is very fond of the staff members. The only challenge we have experienced with The Old Station is their incredibly long waiting list for the younger age group, which is a credit to their popularity, but means that one has to apply very early on to secure a place. Apart from that, we highly recommend The Old Station and are very happy to have found it!

November 18, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter is very happy here and has built some lovely connections with the staff! I would definitely recommend it.
They spend a lot of time outdoors, which is great and seem to meet the needs of the younger ones well.

November 24, 2021 at 12:00 amA super nursery with excellent care and education. A fantastic setting in the countryside where kids can learn and play with each other very easily. Thank you for the great work Old Station. Our children’s development is something we are very pleased with and hope to continue to grow.

February 10, 2022 at 12:00 amThe staff go above and beyond and my son has developed so much, I couldn’t ask for a better place for him to spend his time. The staff truly care about the children. They have navigated the pandemic amazingly well and I’m glad to be sending my second child there in a few months.

February 10, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son has been so happy at Old Station Nursery from the beginning. The staff clearly care about each child and have a nurturing and caring approach. Our son loves exploring the outdoor space where there is lots of stuff for him to play with. The meals are varied and they do lots of different activities with them each day.

February 15, 2022 at 12:00 amA wonderful nursery. My son has attended for 18 months, sadly I am having to move him to a closer nursery as this one is an hour and a half walk from my house and as the bus times have changed and health problems have arisen, it’s too difficult to get him there, as I don’t drive. But I thank you for looking after him so well and highly recommend this nursery. A particular thank you to the staff from Butterflies and Caterpillars. We will miss you.

March 2, 2022 at 12:00 amI have two children at the Old Station and they both love it. The setting is wonderful and I particularly love their forest school trips. Most importantly though, the staff make such an effort in their relationships with my two. My 3-year-old chatters away about her friends and the staff that she likes so much My almost 2-year-old runs in to meet his key carer. They are also very responsive to questions or any concerns so I have complete peace of mind that my kids are in good hands. My ratings on cleanliness and resources are based on what I remember the inside being like pre-pandemic, as parents have not been allowed into the nursery during the pandemic.

April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amOld Station Henley has excellent facilities, inside and out, caring staff and lots of activities on offer. The only area for improvement is the menu which relies heavily on sandwiches/pittas for afternoon tea, but hot lunches sound so good I wish I could stay too!

April 26, 2022 at 12:00 amI love this nursery and the team who run it. Both my kids have really enjoyed and are still enjoying their time there. The staff are caring, kind and so much fun to be around. I honestly can’t fault it. The location is great with a huge garden area and forest school and parking onsite for parents is always a bonus.

August 4, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son clearly loves his time at Nursery. I could not be happier with the care he is receiving. The team also dealt magnificently with the recent extreme heat – It was the greatest relief that he was with them over those days.

August 8, 2022 at 12:00 amWe couldn’t be more pleased that we chose the Old Station Nursery for our daughter. She and we have been welcomed from day 1, with everyone we encounter being kind and friendly. She has quickly adjusted to her new setting and clearly loves the staff who care for her. They treat her with such kindness and understanding and I feel confident leaving her in their capable hands. Thank you to the whole team for making my return to work so much easier than it could have been!

September 6, 2022 at 12:00 amI have two little boys at the Old Station nursery. My oldest, now two, has been there since he was six months old and my youngest, about to turn one, has been there for a couple of months. As a full-time working mum, finding a setting your children love, with people who care so much for them, is extremely important. I am so happy with the care the nursery provides and love hearing about what they have been up to every day. Most days when I pick them up, they are outdoors playing, in their element. I am so happy I have been able to get my boys into the nursery and can’t thank them enough.
