The Old Station Nursery - Pershore
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Pershore for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in February 2024. Open since 2019, with 90 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Worcestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Worcestershire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Staff provide a warm welcome when children arrive at the nursery. They work hard to build positive relationships with children and their families. Children develop close attachments to their key person and demonstrate that they feel safe and secure as they settle well into their chosen activities. Staff provide rich opportunities for children to grow and develop their confidence as they become sociable communicators. For example, children talk about the food they are eating and how this can affect their bodies. Staff patiently wait as children take their turn to contribute to the discussion. This helps to build their confidence when sharing thoughts and ideas with others.
Staff plan the environments well. Children show positive attitudes to learning as they explore with curiosity. They discover some daffodils on the table and ask staff questions about them. Staff challenge and develop children's knowledge and understanding as they talk about each part of the flower. Children confidently repeat the newly learned words, developing their vocabulary. Children form friendships as they play games in the garden. For example, they take the lead as they play hide and seek. They giggle with delight when they discover their friends'
hiding places, and motivate others to join in.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to recognise when to implement targeted plans to help children to learn how to regulate their own behaviour.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
