Sixpenny Day Nursery

No evidence of Aprons whilst painting.

My daughter recently started to attend this nursery, and since she started, the staff have been absolutely amazing. The nursery is beautiful and perfect for any child that might love nature and the outdoors. My daughter adored the outside, and this nursery really encourages that. She always comes home bright and happy after each day. The food options are great and promote a well-balanced diet and a good variety of different options. The classrooms are clean and warm, and everyone is extremely welcoming. I would highly recommend it.

The facilities, especially the outside space, are second to none, and the forest school is a wonderful addition to the nursery.

The outside space that Sixpenny has is amazing. They have plenty of activities they can do in the garden; they also have a wooded area and fields to run around in. I love the fact that they are planting seeds at this time of year to help the children understand spring.

Amazing staff and activities! She is always bringing things home. My daughter loves going to nursery. She loves learning French and is really thriving in Forest School at the moment. Their outside space is excellent.

My little girl is so excited to attend the forest school soon, and we are very lucky to have this life experience at the nursery. Keep up the hard work, Sixpenny!

I am constantly impressed by this nursery and the amazing staff. My daughter has the best possible care and education here. Her development increases every day, and she is encouraged to be strong and independent but also kind and considerate of other children. I am so glad my daughter attends this nursery, and I am looking forward to two more of my girls coming up in October.

Great staff, great atmosphere, all-round can't fault the place.

Myself and many other parents don't agree with the costings/charges since sixpenny was taken over. Sixpenny just doesn't have the same vibe that it once had.

Children are routinely very dirty on leaving which is expected - but very dirty face with mud in eyes etc is too far and happens regularly. Very high charges for consumables and extras but very little evidence of art, craft or other activities taking place. Very few structured activities it seems. Their separate finance team seem to manage accounts very badly. Incorrect information is often shared, confusing invoices with no explanation and threatening chasers are automatically sent despite payments made on the date they request. We have had children at Sixpenny for 7 years now and would sadly not recommend them following the new company taking over. There are some very caring staff but our overall impression is still very poor.

I can't fault the Sixpenny staff, they do a fantastic job but really dislike The Old Station Nursery Group. It's a shame because Sixpenny really was something so special before the takeover. Thankful to all the staff that are still making each day special for the children attending.

My son absolutely Forest School and runs in every day! It is such a fantastic provision!

Like all mums, I was hesitant about leaving my child in the care of others, but now I have absolutely no need to worry; he waves me off at morning drop-off without a care in the world!

My daughter is so enthusiastic every time we pull into the car park at Sixpenny. She has been going there since she was five months old, and it is her home away from home. Her keyworker and all the other staff are always so enthusiastic and professional, but also the bit I didn't expect is that they seem to genuinely love and be really interested in my child, for which I am so grateful. It's the best thing we have done to send her to Sixpenny.

My son has been at the nursery for eight months, since just before his first birthday. The staff in the baby room are always friendly and warm and made a huge effort to make sure he settled in well. Our key worker is brilliant and adores my son, is never too busy to stop and tell me all about his day and show me pictures. Sixpenny Day Nursery is excellent.

My child really enjoys coming into the nursery. The staff are always warm and welcoming. I have a good relationship with my child's key worker and have regular updates on his time throughout the nursery. It is a brilliant environment for children with plenty of educational activities and experiences. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic nursery. My daughter absolutely loves going to Sixpenny. Her day is filled with amazing activities, and as a mother, I love hearing all about it. Great selection of meals, and the staff are lovely. Also, the outdoor space available really drew us into picking this nursery.

Both of my children have been in the nursery since just before one. They're now three and 18 months old. The staff at Sixpenny are incredible and second to none. The outside space is fantastic, and they absolutely love going.

Children have plenty of space outside. They are also given the opportunity to discover nature (eg plant vegetables, feed animals, walk in a 'forest', etc). Each week the activities relate to different themes, and so, children learn about the weather, space, dinosaurs, etc. Children bring back not only lots of lovely drawings, paintings and collages but also cupcakes and biscuits. Staff are professional and caring and always happy to inform you about what children have done during the day, what they have eaten, how they were feeling, etc.

Sixpenny is a wonderful setting with vast outdoor spaces, which sets them above the rest. Both my children attend Sixpenny, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my chosen nursery. The staff throughout the building are instrumental in both my children's developments. I am always greeted with a smile and warm welcome when dropping off and picking up my children. I enjoy hearing about the range of activities they get to take part in daily and love sharing their observations with other family members. The team at Sixpenny do a fantastic job daily.
