“The vision and ethos of a nursery group shape the environment of its nurseries and influence a child’s social, emotional and physical development.
The Old Station Nursery Group has shown that its nurseries are having a huge impact on the wellbeing of children as well as their learning and development.
We would like to congratulate them on being rated by parents as a top nursery group.
It is a real achievement to be recognised for being one of the Top 20 nursery groups by children’s families and carers.”

“We’re delighted to have received this award once again, especially as it’s based entirely on feedback from our families. Our passionate nursery teams work diligently to create a nurturing and stimulating environment where every child feels safe, happy, and supported to thrive.
Choosing a nursery is a big decision, and we’re committed to helping every child build strong social skills, develop a love of learning, and leave us confident and ready for school. We truly value the feedback we receive, it helps us grow and ensures we continue offering the very best care and early education.”
