Sixpenny are great! They know all the children and the activities/resources they provide are excellent. My daughter loves everyone.
Thank you for taking the time to review our nursery. We are pleased to hear that you are happy with the activities and experiences we provide for the children in our care.
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 team are always helpful and friendly, giving detailed handovers about her day! I know my niece is incredibly happy at Sixpenny and we will miss it lots when she goes to school in September!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear how much your niece enjoys her time at Sixpenny and that you've had such positive experiences during pick-up. It's wonderful to know the activities and outdoor spaces are making such a meaningful impact on her learning and enjoyment. It...
The staff in the toddler room are amazing, they go above and beyond every day to make sure the children are looked after. My daughter loves coming to nursery at Sixpenny!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are delighted to hear that your daughter loves her time with us and that the dedication of our team is positively impacting your family.
Our twins absolutely love going to Sixpenny and we love sending them there: the staff are brilliant, compassionate, and fun, and it's so brilliant for us to know that they are getting thoughtful, fun, structured activities during the day. The staff are always so good-humoured and the management team have always been really supportive - communication is fantastic.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're thrilled to read how much your twins enjoy their time at Sixpenny. It means a lot to know that you feel supported and confident in the care and activities we provide.
My little one loves this nursery! She's really started to come out of her shell and the days she spends here are helping to shape her. The staff are really friendly and helpful! The meals they provide are varied and they make sure to check for allergens. The outside areas are remarkable and make great experiences for the children!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are pleased to read that your daughter enjoys her time with us, particularly the outdoor areas, which we are really proud of. We look forward to continuing to support her in her first steps in education.
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.
My daughter started Sixpenny's in January, and she has settled in really quickly. I am impressed by the level of care she has received and the effort staff put in to have a variety of activities each day. Since starting nursery my daughter sleeps better and is growing in confidence. Would definitely recommend
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.
We are so pleased that you are happy with your decision to choose our nursery and that you feel reassured that your son is happy and cared for. We take great pride in providing new and exciting activities and learning opportunities, and the team will be glad to read that their dedication is making a difference to your son.
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.
Thank you for leaving us a review; the Sixpenny team will be delighted to read how happy you are and how reassured you feel whilst you are at work.
I really enjoy reading the learning stories and being able to work on the same things to improve his learning.
We're so happy to read that you're seeing positive relationships and growth in your son. It's wonderful to know that the learning stories are helpful, and we look forward to continuing to support your child's learning journey together. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
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.
The nursery has been fantastic for our little boy. The staff are always very happy and helpful and there's always plenty of activities for the kids along with the amazing amount of outside space and facilities. The nursery always looks clean and well maintained and very well managed overall.
We're so pleased to hear that your little boy has had such a positive experience with us. We are dedicated to creating a happy and supportive environment, and it's wonderful to know that the activities, outdoor space, and overall atmosphere have made a difference for your family.
The activities they get up to on a daily basis and the photos and updates we receive daily about what our son gets up to keeps my nerves at bay and gives me reassurance that he is having a great day and enjoying himself just as much as we knew he would.
Every single staff member at Sixpenny is so warm, welcoming and kind. I'm really glad we chose this nursery and we would 100% choose it again for future children.
We understand how big a step it is to send your little one to nursery, so we're delighted to hear that our team helped put your mind at ease. It's fantastic to know your son is happy, thriving, and enjoying his time with us.
A lovely nursery and staff, my little boy was so happy there and got to experience lots of unique activities. The few months before school he was there they supported me with the process and continuously supported him in his learning.
Thank you for leaving us a review. We are happy to read how our care positively impacted your son's development whilst he was with us.
A lovely setting - I was anxious about sending my twins to a nursery especially as one has additional needs but I couldn't have asked for anywhere better. Incredibly inclusive, well managed and very organised SEN support. They also helped with transition to school. Highly recommend.
We aim to treat every child individually in our setting, supporting them to develop at their own pace. Thank you for recommending our nursery.
