The Old Station Nursery Forest School Devizes is a purpose-built, fun and exhilarating nursery for children to learn through play.
Having now moved to a purpose-built setting at Roundway Hill Farm in 2012, the nursery specialises in outdoor learning, play and exercise, within its beautiful countryside location. The nursery adopts a ‘Forest School’ learning approach, where children can develop their skills uniquely, whilst encouraging conversation about the environment and the importance of appreciating the planet.
The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.
Each room has free-flow access to the secure garden, which includes a variety of activities, such as an allotment, an outdoor mud kitchen, and sensory areas. The children are free to explore their surrounding nature, and with a special ‘undercover’ area, they can enjoy outdoor play in all weathers. There is also a farm area, where the children can feed and care for the animals, such as the nurseries very own pygmy goats.
Children are encouraged to take part in weekly music sessions, a variety of sports, cooking, and yoga, as well as participate in the nursery’s Forest School classes. These activities provide benefits for children such as increasing a child’s confidence and self-esteem through exploration, problem solving, and being encouraged to learn how to assess and take appropriate risks depending on their environment.
With the location of the countryside, the nursery is bright and airy, with plenty to keep all the children engaged, and active. There is also lots of opportunities to be outside in the fresh air, for the children to run, play, climb and cycle.

A truly tried-and-tested review from a family who has been part of Sixpenny since 2022. We've had two children attend across Babies, Toddlers, Forest School and Pre-School, giving us firsthand experience of everything Sixpenny offers.Our boys have been nurtured, supported and genuinely loved by an incredible team who quickly became like family. Every handover left us feeling informed, included and confident our children were thriving.Sixpenny is a magical environment filled with adventure, creativity and nature. From Forest School woodland walks and bear hunts to caring for goats, chickens and tortoises, every day is filled with memorable experiences. The activities, learning opportunities and home-cooked meals are exceptional.Jess, Tash and Sam have created a welcoming, supportive community, while Lucy and Caroline have had a lasting impact on our family. Leaving is incredibly emotional. Sixpenny has given our boys friendship, confidence, adventure and so much joy.

My son loves his time at Sixpenny and we are so happy to have found this incredible nursery! The staff are so welcoming from the moment you arrive and he always loves saying good morning to the ladies in the kitchen. The daily activities are varied but they also have special visitors often such as sports, drama, cooking and music which keeps it exciting and varied. What shines above the rest though is the outdoor space available, the private gardens mean the children can be outdoors all day but the woodland (where the goats and chickens live!) and meadow are an amazing addition to the outdoor provision, my son is moving to the Forest School in September and he can't wait. I couldn't recommend Sixpenny enough!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Joe! We're thrilled to hear that your son loves his time at our nursery and enjoys all the exciting activities we offer. Our nursery is all about nurturing creativity and growth, and it's heartwarming to know that our outdoor spaces and welcoming staff have made such a positive impact on your family.

Even years later, they still talk fondly about the memories they made and how lovely all of the team were, which I think says everything you need to know about the care and environment Sixpenny provides.
We couldn't recommend them highly enough. Keep up the amazing work, Team Sixpenny!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so pleased to read that all of your children have such happy memories of their time with us, and even more special to know they still talk about them years later.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!
