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.

My son has loved coming to Sixpenny since day one. All the staff are fabulous, the food is fantastic and he comes home everyday exhausted but happy after a full day of play. The staff have really encouraged his development and learning and he has clearly formed a real bond with all of them.

I regularly collect my niece from nursery and always love coming in to find out all about her day. The activities are varied and engaging, and my niece is always so excited to tell me all about her day! The outdoor areas are outstanding and this provides the children with incredible opportunities to learn through the world around them.

The staff are the best thing about this nursery. They provide an excellent level of care and my child is very happy here. However, since this setting has been taken over by the Old Station Nursery Group, the fees have increased significantly. This is far, far higher than other nurseries in the area and way above inflation / other factors like NI increase etc. Sadly the funds have not been put back into the setting and the facilities are tired. Very disappointing to see what is an excellent nursery being squeezed for profits. This is unfair on the children, parents and staff.
Thank you for taking the time to review us and for your lovely comments about our dedicated team. We understand your frustration with fees, and we do our best to protect them, but this last year, in particular, has been challenging across multiple fronts. We'll be sure to pass on your comments.

My son attended Six Pennys at 8 months and has thrived and loved every second. Seeing him run down the corridor every morning and watching him embrace the staff shows how happy and comfortable he is there. He has experienced so many lovely things and is able to interact with lots of different people. His speech has come on so much and he clearly loves being in this setting. The staff are all lovely and so helpful in any situation. Highly recommend this nursery.
It is a joy to see children arrive at nursery so eager and happy to be here! We are so pleased that you are happy with our care and experiences. Thank you for recommending us.

We are so pleased that your daughter has settled well into nursery life. We take so much pride in our quality of care and education. Thank you for your recommendation.
Sending my son to this nursery was the best thing I've done. The staff are fantastic, and genuinely care about him and his progression. He is learning so much, and is given the freedom to grow with the support of the team. They update me all the time, and make is easier to drop him off.

They are keen to try new things that we try at home but equally give us recommendations to. The team have made such an effort to get to know my child and her interests. Leaving your baby is made so much easier knowing they are well looked after and cared for. Thank you!
We are so happy to read such lovely feedback about the team in our baby room and how they have supported your family in providing personalised care. It's great to know that communication and collaboration are making a difference.
My daughter enjoys nursery with all of her friends. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food is excellent and she loves to play in the garden. She will regularly talk about the resident goats and now she likes to feed them

We are delighted to read that your daughter is enjoying her time at nursery and forming friendships. Our resident goats are a unique addition to our nursery family, and the children love tending not to them!
I have nothing but good things to say about everyone that works here. I couldn't think of a better place for my son to be while I'm at work.

We have been really impressed with the level of care provided to our son by Sixpenny Day Nursery. The staff are professional, committed and friendly and we have enjoyed being involved in our son's educational activities which are imaginative, creative and tailored to his needs. It is always a difficult decision to leave your child in somebody else's care, but with the staff and facilities at Sixpenny, we have never had to worry.
We're delighted to hear that you've been impressed with the care and support your son has received so far. It's great to know you're enjoying the involvement in his learning; the home/nursery collaboration and communication are so important.

Sixpenny is such a wonderful nursery. We have been Sixpenny parents since 2018 and the experience has been great for both our children. Right from the start in babies through to starting school the staff have always shown the highest level of care and attention to the children. Each day we have a full handover of what they have been doing during the day, including what they have eaten and napped. This makes us feel fully involved. We also receive photos and videos of activities during the day. Both my children have been very happy during there time here and have made great relationships with all the staff.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience - it was a joy to read! Communication is so important when you're apart from your little one, so it's wonderful to hear how well it's going.

I would thoroughly recommend Sixpenny nursery to anyone looking at nurseries. My daughter has extra sensory and food needs and they cater to her beautifully. She always has such a happy time there she doesn't really want to leave when I pick her up. They have brilliant outside space and go outside every day if they can. They also have a wonderful sensory room. There are always planned activities the children can take part in, but often my daughter isn't interested in these and they happily leave her to play if she prefers this.
Thank you for recommending Sixpenny! We support each child's sensory and food needs individually, and we're thrilled that she enjoys her time with us so much. The team strives to provide a flexible and nurturing environment where each child can explore at their own pace, whether joining in planned activities or enjoying independent play.
