Railway Children Nursery, located in Kettering, Northamptonshire, was registered in 2006 and operates from The Station Masters House. The nursery provides full-day care for children aged 1 to 4 years old, with a total capacity of 37 children and 71 currently on roll.

It is open weekdays from 8am to 6pm, year-round, except for a week at Christmas and bank holidays. The nursery places a strong emphasis on outdoor learning and physical activities, both indoors and out, with staff encouraging toddlers to engage in large-muscle movements like shaking, jogging, stretching, and dancing.

The manager ensures that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported, utilising extra funding to facilitate this. The welcoming staff foster secure attachments, providing cuddles and reassurance to babies, and parents highly praise the nursery, feeling supported, involved, and well-informed through various communication channels.
