A truly wonderful nursery – highly recommended! Railway Nursery in Upminster has been absolutely fantastic for our little one. From the very first visit, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine care. The staff are incredible — they’re not only professional and well-trained but also so loving, patient, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. The communication with parents is excellent. We always receive detailed updates and photos showing what the children have been learning and doing each day, which really puts our minds at ease. The activities are creative, engaging, and perfectly suited to help the children develop both academically and socially — from outdoor play and sensory sessions to early learning and arts & crafts. The nursery itself is bright, clean, and safe. Our child has grown in confidence and independence since joining, and it’s clear that they’re happy and thriving in such a nurturing environment. We honestly couldn’t ask for a better start to our child’s early education. Thank you to all the amazing staff at Railway Nursery — you go above and beyond every single day!

The railway children has been the most wonderful setting for my daughter. When she joined she was very behind in every area, still unable to walk and talk at 2 years old. They have helped her progress not only physically but also emotionally and mentally and gone above and beyond for her individual needs. To watch her start primary school this year at the same level as her peers was amazing and I have absolutely no doubt that she would be where is now with the Railway Children and all of the wonderful staff. Thank you so much! Xx
