    Since my daughter joined the nursery last year, I could not be happier with the overall experience. All the members of staff are kind, helpful and always smiling. My daughter absolutely loves it and you can tell that she is very well looked after. I have not seen the new facility properly yet but it looks amazing from the outside.

    My experience with the nursery continues to be an extremely positive one, the staff are incredible and have made everything from dealing with Covid to a site move smooth and uninterrupted. My daughter goes from strength to strength at this nursery, she has grown in confidence and independence and a huge percentage of this is down to her time at Old Station Road and the impeccable level of care and support she receives there, the facilities and the team are second to none.

    My two daughters really enjoy going to nursery, especially since moving to the new building. The staff are really amazing and very attentive, telling you all about their day when you pick them up. I have so much confidence that they are being well looked after whilst I am at work, thank you.

    We’ve had a really positive experience for the entire year our son has attended. Staff have always been very kind, happy to help and friendly. Our son’s key worker, in particular, has made an amazing attachment with him and he’s always very excited to see her.

    My daughter runs into nursery every time with a happy face and full of excitement! We never have any issues and the staff are very helpful, the only thing I would change is introducing a system where we can see the fluid and food intake on the app every day, sometimes we don’t get a clear handover of what she has eaten and drank during the day. Thank you for a lovely, safe environment for our little one.

    As a first time mum, the staff at The Old Station Nursery were amazing at welcoming my son and making sure he was settled. They understood the anxiety as a new parent leaving your child with a stranger and comforted me as a parent offering support and advice which was amazing to feel. The staff are open to try new routines and adjustments to suit the needs of the child. And are constantly offering support and advice. My son has an amazing bond with his key person but will happily go to any adult in the room. I feel happy knowing he has a fun-filled day at nursery. The Old Station Nursery offer some amazing activities for babies such as music, messy play, role play, song time and outdoor play. As well as ample opportunity to free flow giving the children the choice to decide. The food always goes down a treat, my son always comes home with a full tummy and a messy shirt. A sign of a fun-filled day. I couldn’t praise the baby room staff well enough! I cannot wait to see how he progresses!

    What a wonderful nursery – an amazing setting with great facilities and such wonderful caring staff who treat the children as individuals with really tailored care. Our son is always excited to go to nursery, runs in with a smile on his face and clearly gets so much care and encouragement from the whole team. The food is a big hit too! The app is great for keeping track of updates, doing forms and payments etc though the team are always great and giving you verbal updates each day. I also want to really commend the extra effort and commitment they’ve shown over the pandemic period ensuring the children had a safe and as normal as possible environment to develop and thrive in despite the obvious pressure and anxiety on adults during this unusual time. I thoroughly recommend this wonderful nursery.

    We absolutely love Old Station Nursery in Oxford. I had both my daughters going there full time from a very young age and they always enjoy the time spent at the nursery. Lovely and stimulating environment, nice outside space and everything is new and fresh. The staff are fantastic, caring, engaged and always ready to help. We couldn’t be happier.

    When you send your child to nursery you hope for a few things, they are looked after by caring individuals that are invested in their well being, the environment is safe and fun, and all their needs are met (such as good meals and snacks, timely nappy changes, naps, support when upset). But they’re also given the opportunity to learn and explore through thoughtful and interesting activities. Old Station Nursery, Oxford achieves all this and more, my son loves attending the setting. As a business, I find Old Station Nursery, has great planning, foresight, and communication and the level of care is very high and consistent. With both daily updates, and more long-term development updates, you feel well supported as a parent and very safe in the knowledge your child is being cared for by a wonderful team of professionals, who are excellently managed.

    Our daughter, who has developmental delays and a working diagnosis of ASD loves her nursery and the wonderful staff that look after her. The nursery is very inclusive and welcoming and the staff are always cheerful, patient and very friendly. The resources are great too. Everyone is always very helpful and we feel confident our daughter is happy, safe and cared for really well. The children also spend a lot of time outdoors in a lovely and spacious garden. I would highly recommend this setting.

    My child is very happy at Old Station Nursery. His key person knows him well and they have a strong bond. We talk about his development and areas on which I would like the staff to focus on. The staff responded with competence and care to a medical emergency my child was in recently and I am very grateful for that.

    The Old Station Nursery based at Oxford Science Park is absolutely amazing. My son is in the preschool setting and his key worker is so thorough with handovers and updating photos of what he’s been up to every week. Communication is great when needing to contact the settings for changes etc. Everyone is so friendly, polite and really welcoming. As my son has progressed through nursery his old keyworkers have kept in touch and are still in contact with him which is lovely. My son absolutely loves coming here! Couldn’t recommend it anymore! Massive Thumbs up!

    My son settled really well within 2 weeks, the key person was present most days and gave a daily update on activities and progress. He bonded really well with all members of staff in the baby room, who are friendly to all the children in the room.
    Every day at drop off a staff member comes to pick up my son at the door and asks how he is and how the previous evening/weekend was. At pick-up time, there is always someone who provides an update on what he ate, how he slept and how he played/interacted with others.
    Outside space/garden is accessible to all children easily. Daily moments like activities are captured in pictures and made available through an app. Framework indicators are ranked, and progress can be tracked.
    All requests from parents seem to be accommodated promptly and general communication is very good.

    Our son has always enjoyed attending The Old Station Nursery; he comes back talking about all the things he has done. The manager and her team are super helpful, and we really appreciate the care they take with our son.

    I love Old Station Nursery and all the staff.
    They really care and make my child feel special and always welcome and loved. My toddler absolutely loves going each day and comes home tired out from a fun-filled day. I love the updates and pictures to see what she’s been getting up to, it always looks like the staff and children have equal amounts of fun!
    Always helpful with keeping sleeping bags, dummies and cups just for your child to make it as homely as possible. No need to cart them back and forth each time! I’m so so glad I chose this nursery and it made going back to work so much easier. I know that my child is well looked after and well entertained as well as learning key skills. I can see each time she is home the positive progression in her skills, it blows me away.
    I feel the staff really care too to help develop those skills and increase them each time like helping with the walker or using a pen.
    Thank you to everyone there at the nursery, you are loved very much!

    I would say the greatest nursery in Oxford! Location is brilliant, loads of nature around.
    They will walk extra mile to help your child, they will always support you as a parent and also will look for ways to help if needed extra sessions.
    My child needed extra support with development, and nursery staff throughout the years looked for ways to help, one to one sessions, applied for educational support for upcoming years. My child achieved milestone with The Old Station Nursery! I will be grateful and proudly can say only great things about staff members.
    Every day you receive feedback, photos and updates on development, how they spend days and always will ask if you as a parent need any help or support regarding your child!
    Thank you so much from all my heart!

    I highly recommend this nursery.
    Lovely staff in the baby room, supervisor of the baby room is excellent, well informed and caring for the kids.
    My son had allergies and they were excellent in keeping notes of every meal he ate to track his skin reaction.

    My son is happy to go to daycare and I believe this is a good indicator of how much he enjoys his time there. We get regular updates on his progress and developmental activities etc. and he is so attached to his carer.

    My son was in a nursery previously but since moving he’s come on leaps and bounds. The care given to my son I really couldn’t fault or ask for much more!
    Each member of staff are friendly and make me feel at ease. I drop my son with no worries what so ever. All I can say is thank you for changing my perspective on nursery’s!
