The Old Station Nursery in Marlow provides care for children aged from birth to four years. The day nursery is open all year round, on weekdays from 8am to 6pm. It offers funded childcare places for eligible children from nine months old. The day nursery was inspected by Ofsted in July 2025 and received an overall rating of Good.
According to the inspector, children settle quickly and form close bonds with staff in an inviting and well-organised environment. The report noted that children are confident, behave well, and are developing their independence. Outdoor provision includes a refurbished garden where children can choose to play, with opportunities to climb, balance, and run. To improve, Ofsted recommended that the nursery strengthens the implementation of its curriculum and builds on its systems for monitoring staff practice to support children's learning.
