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.

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.
I was so nervous and worried about sending my little boy to nursery but the ladies at Sixpenny made all of my worries go away - they reassured me that his comfort would be a priority and all of his needs would be met and they have absolutely done this! My little boy had the best time at nursery now...
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.

Although we are always sad to see children move on to school, we are privileged to have been part of their first steps in education. Thank you for recommending our setting.

The one of the best nurseries in Devizes! Well run - always good communication in person and through the apps, clean, safe, varied activities every day, hot homecooked meals made on site and lots of outdoor spaces including a large meadow and woods (used for forest school as well) and can drop as early at 7.30am which is very useful when you have a meeting at 8am! Worth the money.
Thank you for recommending our setting! We are delighted to read how happy you are with our provision, care and activities.
Sixpenny is the most wonderful nursery. Our son has been there since he was 14 months and he's now nearly 3. Over the last 12 months, he's had the most amazing time in Toddlers.

Sixpenny is the most wonderful nursery. Our son has been there since he was 14 months and he's now nearly 3. Over the last 12 months, he's had the most amazing time in Toddlers. The team have been so kind and caring and he's absolutely thrived there. He's recently started in Rising 3s and I know he will also have a fantastic time there. Every member of staff is lovely and knowledgeable. The management team are fantastic too, always greeting you with a smile and knowing the children well. I would totally recommend Sixpenny.
Our nursery practitioners are the heart of our setting. They are passionate about supporting children's development and exploring the world around them. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
Wonderful nursery, my daughter loves to go to nursery to see her friends and staff and enjoys all the activities and learning sessions. She has come on massively and I couldn't thank them enough for taking the time to care for her.

We are delighted to read how happy you are with your daughter's development whilst attending our setting! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience.
My 9-month-old son has just started and I felt really bad about going back to work and having to leave him but the girls in Babies have made it so much easier by showing support towards me and being incredible with my son.

The first steps of trusting others to care for your little one can feel overwhelming, but reading how the Sixpenny team has supported you and your son during the transition is lovely. Thank you for taking the time to review our setting.
I cannot recommend Sixpenny enough. My little boy is coming on leaps and bounds since coming to Sixpenny. He loves all the activities they do with him. All the staff are professional and polite, it puts my mind at ease that he goes in happy and comes home happy.

The experience we have received has been amazing for our daughter, the staff go above and beyond to ensure the children are happy and content in a safe environment. The settling-in process was reassuring and comforting for us both as new parents. Every day we receive the best feedback at the end of the day and the most lovely observations regarding her learning from her key person. The management has been amazing too with the support given and any queries answered. We can't thank you enough for our very positive nursery experience.
Leaving your little one in the care of others can feel daunting, but parents can be assured that their children feel safe and loved in our care. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
I cannot recommend Sixpenny Day Nursery enough. The activities, meals and play areas are all great. The staff are all absolutely amazing, always smiling and happy to help. Our children love it and I feel they are very well looked after.

The car park is mildly dangerous and could do with an upgrade, but this is down to the landlord.

Always a great experience - my children love every day there, and the staff are very lovely. There's a great range of activities, and the forest school is great, with all children given the opportunity to get involved.

We can't wait for the sun to start shining so Forest School is even more fun!

Myself and my wife count ourselves very lucky to have found such a brilliant nursery for our girls. Our eldest has moved through all the rooms, and we've found every member of staff to be really kind and thoroughly engaged with the children. We love the fact there is so much outdoor space, and the children are encouraged to play and explore outside. Our eldest especially enjoys the forest school, where they spend all day doing different outdoor activities. Our youngest has no qualms about handovers in the mornings and hasn't done since her first week, which is down to how at home she feels with the staff there. However, we don't receive updates on development through the app as often as we used to, so it would be good if that could be looked at. Overall, we are very happy with the nursery we chose.
That is wonderful to hear; thank you for sharing so much with us.
My child really enjoys nursery and is thriving there, and it is down to the wonderful team that supports him. He especially loves being outside and at forest school, and we are so thankful to the team for all their dedication, hard work, patience and love that they show him. Thank you all so much.

Wow. Thank you so much for such a glowing review. We are delighted to hear this, and we'll be sure to pass your comments on to the team.
I love the fact my girls come here. The staff are excellent, passionate, creative and loving with the kids.

I love the fact my girls come here. The staff are excellent, passionate, creative and loving with the kids. I like that the kids are taught to be resilient and push themselves and encouraged to try and not overprotected in the outdoors. But they are safe and well cared for whilst they develop those essential skills. I’ve seen the development of all of them go up every day they are there. The twins are different children when they come home, seemingly more grown up after every visit. So it’s worth its weight in gold.
Thank you for your heartfelt review! We're thrilled to hear that you love having your girls at our nursery. Our team take great pride in being excellent, passionate, creative, and loving with the children. We appreciate your kind words and the value you place on our nursery. Thank you for trusting us with the growth and development of your precious twins.

Our daughter has loved attending Sixpenny Day Nursery and has enjoyed many enriching experiences. The forest school has been particularly special, as it has provided activities and opportunities which would not have been easily accessible elsewhere or at home. The staff show great care not only for the children but for us parents too, and I am really grateful for the friendly support they have provided. I feel that handover communication has been really clear and has provided us with a good awareness of what has occurred during the day.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that your daughter has loved attending Sixpenny Day Nursery and has had enriching experiences, especially through our forest school. We appreciate your kind words and the trust you've placed in us.
