    Updates has consistently been exceptional, I remember ringing after every drop-off for the first couple of weeks just to ‘check in’. They were consistently cheerful to chat and assured me he was fine. As a parent, you have access to an app where you can see various information about their day but most importantly photos! Each day they do a varied amount of activities and also get the opportunity to playtime outside. The team also take the time to focus on each kid’s interests as individuals too. The food consistently smells lush and the team regularly tell me he asks for more! My son is currently being toilet trained and they have been excellent with supporting him. I couldn’t be prouder of the little boy he’s becoming and childcare centre are a huge part of this! I owe all the team a big thank you but a special thanks to his current key worker and the manager. You are all a part of our family and we will be extremely sad to leave next year! The best childcare centre in Gloucester! All the team are incredible and supportive.

    The team are incredibly welcoming and you consistently get a inviting welcome. Updates is really excellent too, team are very approachable and consistently cheerful to listen. You get weekly updates (usually pictures) on what your kid has been up to. A daily log of what they’ve eaten, nappies, sleep etc. and regular focus observations on how your kid is developing on the EYFS framework too. Our son is consistently fed well and sleeps well at childcare centre. I’m very impressed with the childcare centre, our son has come on so much since starting in February. They also have extra touches such as the lending library so you can borrow books to read with your kid at home. I can’t suggest this childcare centre enough and truly believe it’s a place my son will continue to thrive. My son loves childcare centre and literally runs in every time we drop him off.

    They are all very informative and welcoming. Looking at the pictures, my daughter seems to delight in all the activities done in the childcare centre. She has learned so much. I consistently have a fantastic conservation with all the team!

    He’s a very sensitive little boy and I sense with your skills and friendliness this has really helped him develop. Thankyou. Since my son started in October last year, he has grown so much in self‑assurance.

    Consistently greeted by a very welcoming and approachable manager which makes all the difference!
    Lots of activities for the kids throughout the day and outside playtime. I am reassured when I’m at work that my little one is well looked after.
    A special thanks to the baby room team especially for all of their hard work! A excellent little childcare centre, the team are remarkable consistently going out of their way to help ease the kid in as well as supporting the parents.

    The keyworker was remarkable in the 0 to 2 room and the keyworker is equally incredible in the 2-4 room. Both take the time to give excellent feedback so we understand what compassionate of day he has had and how he is developing, overall. We have been very lucky with the key workers our son has had during his time at Mottershead Drive childcare centre.

    My 7-month-old has been at the childcare centre for 2 months and loves it. I chose this childcare centre because my eldest kid attended for 3 years and loved it also so there was no doubt in my mind to send my 2nd kid here. All the team care about your kid and also you as the parent. They really are an extension to the family! I can’t fault them. The updates is exceptional, the care and activities are exceptional, the food is exceptional and varied. A really excellent example of when a childcare centre is done properly! The team at Mottershead childcare centre are remarkable!

    My son has spent a very cheerful 2.5 years here, where he’s developed beyond his years. Couldn’t suggest it enough! And a special thank you to his key worker! He will miss you very much. Thank you to all the team at The Old Station Childcare centre, Mottershead!

    The team seem happier and have time to chat. I sense they really know my little boy which I think is really important. He is consistently cheerful with the food choices and loves all the team members who come to the door to greet him. I sense my little boy is secure at childcare centre. From looking at photos on eylog, the setting looks really inviting and he consistently looks like he’s having the best time. A excellent idea to move the big ones downstairs for more free flow outside – perfect for my outdoorsy kid! I had noticed he’d been coming home with a soiled nappy but since I mentioned it, this has not happened. Since reviewing last time, I am really cheerful to see some changes have been made.

    A huge thank you to the manager as well for helping me with any issues. I would want to thank all the team for their kindness with my daughter.
    They help her to face up with her difficulties in her speaking.

    The team made her sense welcome from the start. They listen to her and take her seriously in her wishes, if possible. She is consistently in great spirits when we pick her up. We know that the team would call us immediately if something was not right. This is very reassuring. Mottershead Drive is a smaller childcare centre than the other ones in the area, so if you are after a childcare centre with a family sense, where everyone knows your kid and you by name, then you are right at Mottershead Drive. Our daughter loves to go to Mottershead Drive childcare centre.

    He has had a few different health issues and they have been so supportive with this. They are consistently so lovely at handover and my little one really does seem to delight in himself. I also adore the different hours they provide. The team have been incredible with my little one.

    Absolutely nothing to complain, my son is discovering everyday, Very satisfied, my son is cheerful and the team is compassionate, secure place and very close to home.

    I will suggest The Old Station Childcare centre, Mottershead Drive. My kid enjoys being at preschool and can recognise numbers. My kid is very independent since she has been going to preschool and I would like to extend my profound gratitude to the educators. Team are very great at their jobs and look after my kid very well.

    My daughter really struggled with the transition to preschool and the team did everything to make her sense cheerful and settled. The childcare centre is a lovely, homely setting and the team are all really welcoming.

    We are provided daily feedback and updates overall is outstanding. Our kid really enjoys every aspect of the childcare centre and comes back full of beans and eager to tell us about it. The team at The Old Station Childcare centre, Mottershead Drive, Innsworth have been extremely attentive and enthusiastic about the care of our kid.

    They have helped and encouraged my son loads especially with his potty training. A big thank you as well to the manager who has helped with a few issues I have had regarding the funded hours. My son loves attending and all team are welcoming and supportive.

    I see a lot of chaos since the last manager left. Mixed up clothes, wet kids, fewer details about food and sleep and overall, almost no photo updates on the parents’ app. I think this branch suddenly took much more kids than they can handle. I still like this place, it just saddens me to see it different in that way. But I do still suggest it to NATO contingents, as ever. My son has been going to this childcare centre for 3 years and I can see clearly that Motterhead Drive branch dropped from outstanding to satisfactory.

    My son is getting better from different points of view and many of the achievements are reached at the childcare centre. So thanks to the team! As usual, since we joined the childcare centre, I’m cheerful for the choice that we have made.

    He looks forward to going every day. He has also been discovering lots of new things and doing lots of varied activities, so we adore the fact he is having enjoyable as well as developing new skills! Many thanks to all the team at the Childcare centre. My son absolutely loves going to childcare centre, he has been made to sense so welcome by the welcoming team and loves his key worker.
