My 2 year old daughter started at Space Station in January and I am so so happy that I chose this nursery for her. It was very well recommended by friends and locals and now I can see why. All the staff are amazing, they put me and my husband at ease so much as a first time mum/dad starting their child at nursery. They have a brilliant app that keeps u updated all day with what they’re up to, what they have eaten, how they have slept and u can message them at anytime. My daughter settled in so quickly and absolutely loves going now. The food they are fed is brilliant and all the activities they do look so much fun. My daughters speech has come on so so well since starting here. I would recommend this nursery to absolutely everyone!

My daughter started Space Station in May this year after I had to go back to work after maternity leave. It was not only a huge change for her but also me, but the staff were nothing short of being amazing during the transition; they reassured me most days that she was doing well. It made the process so much smoother. I knew that she was in safe hands. The girls in the nursery have been absolutely amazing! I honestly can't thank them enough for all their hard work looking after my daughter. Since starting Space Station, we can see a huge difference in her fine motor skill and also her communication skills; she has come on massively since starting! Her key workers have changed during the time she has been there, but they have made the transition so perfect that we know who to contact, and if we have any questions or concerns, it's handled right away! The manager has been nothing short of fantastic as well! Honestly, you should all be so proud of the work you do! Thank you for everything you do!

Our little girl has attended since she was 6 months old and she absolutely loves nursery and is really happy to go in every morning which helps me relax whilst working. My little girl loves all the staff and clearly has good relationships with them as she is happy and content to go in and spend full days there. Her learning and development is spot on and I believe her time at nursery has helped this greatly! Any issues we have had have been resolved quickly and efficiently by Kim the manager.

My daughter has been going to Space Station since she was 14 months old. She has been very happy in all the rooms from babies through to Waddlers and Toddlers. She loves playing and dancing with her little friends and the staff make a really big effort with lots of great activities and themed weeks. Kim - the manager - is always very responsive, helpful and accommodating and was from our very first visit to look around. My daughter used reusable nappies and staff were happy to accommodate these too. I would definitely recommend Space Station!

My daughter is at Space Station Day Nursery for nearly a year now. She is always excited to go there and happy when she leaves. They do many fun activities and learning games. The nursery staff made her feel welcome and understood. I can see photos and activities in their app during the day and development process is shared with parents regularly. It isn't the closest place for us but wouldn't change as my daughter loves being here.
