My daughter has been attending sixpenny for around 6 months now and after a couple of settling in sessions the dropping off process became much easier and this was down to the hard work my daughter's keyworker and piers done to make her feel at home.
She loves attending nursery and uses up so much of her energy here. She has flourished ever since starting and has become a very confident, sociable toddler.
My partner and I absolutely love recieving updates during the day via the app. We are really happy we chose Sixpenny Nursery and recommend to anyone sending your child there.
It's lovely to know that the support and care provided made the transition into nursery a positive experience for both your daughter and your family. Watching...
Every member of staff is caring, nurturing and engaging. They are understanding of each child's needs and also create such wonderful activities.
The recent refurbishment has improved the equipment
Thank you so much for your kind words and continued support over the last 5 years, Jodie. It has been a pleasure to be part of both your children's early years journey, and we're delighted to hear how much they have enjoyed their time with us. We're also so pleased that you've noticed the benefits of our recent refurbishment and improved equipment.
Sixpenny is absolutely amazing! They supported my eldest through pre-school, and now my youngest is thriving in their nursery since 9 months old. My daughter has become so sociable and happy to go to nursery, and the staff have been incredibly supportive through my health issues, providing a real sense of security for my daughter on days I couldn't be there. Plus, the food must be delicious because both my children have eaten so well there!

The team are always friendly, tentative, and incredibly accommodating to Olivia's individual needs. Throughout the year they put on a number of events so that parents can get to know both the teachers and other parent's better, of which they always put a lot of effort into.
We were initially a little nervous leaving our daughter having been through a big life change, but from day one, she has settled extremely well and very much looks forward to going.
It's fantastic to know that the activities, learning...
I can strongly say we love it at Sixpenny. Our daughter has been there since 10 months old and she will be there until heading to primary school in September. She loves it there! It's clean, tidy, organised, fun, adventurous, they learn loads and she always comes home smiling. We are sending our second baby there as we adore it so much and would recommend to anyone needing nursery care in the area.
They've recently done a lot of upgrades and reno work through the nursery - it's outstanding plus the staff are always incredibly helpful and kind.
We're delighted that you've noticed the care, learning, adventure, and...
My son has been attending since the baby room, he absolutely loves it. He's been supported with transitioning through the classes, he's always smiling going in, and the same coming out, always excited to tell me what he's done and show me things he's made. He's currently in the forest school, and is thriving with his speech, motor skills and social skills, I can't thank Sixpenny enough!
It's especially lovely to hear how excited he is to come in each day and share his experiences with you - that's exactly what we aim for.
Sixpenny is an amazing nursery, all the staff are friendly and helpful as well as professional and great at what they do. My son loves his nursery days and is thriving there too. Nothing is too much for them and they're always willing to help. Iv been using sixpenny for many years for all of my children and will always recommend the nursery to anyone that asks.

My child attends Sixpenny Nursery in Devizes, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the care they provide.
They are a fantastic company with truly wonderful staff. The team are always friendly, approachable, and incredibly supportive. They consistently keep me in the loop about everything - whether it's upcoming events, activities happening at the nursery, or updates on how my child is progressing. I really appreciate how they let me know if my child is excelling in certain areas or if there's anything they may need a little extra support with.
The nursery itself is always clean, tidy, and well organised, which gives me great peace of mind. It's clear that the staff take pride in maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for the children.
Most importantly, I know my child is very well looked after. I feel completely confident leaving them in the care of such a dedicated and caring team. I would highly recommend Sixpenny Nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and professi

We continue to be very happy with Sixpenny. Our 3rd child is now in the baby room, she has settled so well and that is a total credit to the wonderful staff. She is exposed to a range of activities, toys and spaces to play and explore. We really can't thank the staff enough for putting us always at ease leaving our children all day.

The staff truly get to know each child as an individual, which means both of my twins are thriving in their own ways. It really feels like a home from home warm, welcoming, and full of care. I completely trust the team to look after my little ones, and that peace of mind means everything.
The food is also AMAZING varied, and freshly prepared - I'm often jealous of their meals!
I can't thank the nursery enough for the support, kindness, and genuine care they show every single day. We're so grateful to have found such an amazing place for our twins to grow.

The outside play area is brilliant loads of space and activities, and our 2 absolutely love it. The sensory room is fantastic too, such a great space for them to explore.
Our twins are always happy going in and come home smiling every day. Sometimes they don't want to come home! :) Couldn't ask for a better place for them.
Thank you so much for your review. We are thrilled to read that both you and your twins are enjoying your time with us. It is wonderful to know they love the play areas and sensory room, and that our team's support has made a difference.
The staff at The Old Station Nursery in Devizes are simply wonderful-friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about supporting every child. From the moment we visited, it was clear how much they care about creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, confident, and valued.
What really sets this nursery apart is their unique approach to learning. With outdoor spaces, woodland areas, a mud kitchen, and even pygmy goats, children have endless opportunities to explore, be curious, and engage with nature. The Forest School-inspired activities make learning exciting and hands-on, helping children develop both skills and confidence in a fun, creative way. I can't recommend this nursery highly enough!

Super impressed with the management as well, the manager and her team are lovely people and have put all of my worries at ease when my little boy took a while to settle in.
