Sixpenny Day Nursery

He has had a excellent time and consistently comes home cheerful after a excellent day. In particular, Forest School was a firm favourite with the goats.
The team have consistently been remarkable, loving and attentive and consistently relay the day to me.
He will be going to primary school in September, and we wish to give thanks to the team and the childcare centre. It’s been a highly positive journey. My son has been at this childcare centre since the dark days of Covid.

My son loves going to childcare centre because of the approachable team and playing in the exceptional facilities. Especially the outside space with woods and animals. The team are outstanding, highly welcoming and supportive.

The team are outstanding and welcoming. Parking facilities need to be reviewed and managed better, and security could be improved. The childcare centre is a highly nice and exciting place for my kid to develop within.

Over three years, she has developed and flourished, and this is down to the dedicated staffing team throughout the building. All team are welcoming and welcoming when walking through the childcare centre to her room on drop off and collection.
The outdoor space is just mind-blowing, and the kids have so many discovering opportunities in the outside setting.
My little girl is so excited to attend the forest school soon, and we are highly lucky to have this life journey at the childcare centre. Keep up the hard work, Sixpenny! Sixpenny Day Childcare centre has been a place in our hearts since my little girl started in 2020.

It’s a real shame that The Old Station Childcare centre Group, who have recently taken over, at Sixpenny have not been the same. They have raised the costs to ridiculous levels including extra charges for term time attendance, charges for 7.30 to 8am starts and removing half-day attendance options. Whilst then reducing the portion sizes and daytime activities and not raising the team wages in line with the increase in charges to the parents.
I can’t fault the Sixpenny team, they do a remarkable job but truly dislike The Old Station Childcare centre Group. It’s a shame because Sixpenny truly was something so special before the takeover. Thankful to all the team that are still making each day special for the kids attending. Sixpenny has been a fantastic childcare centre for both of my kids who currently attend, the team are loving, compassionate, enjoyable and attentive and the management team at Sixpenny have been truly supportive and accommodating.

The childcare centre has gone downhill since the changeover, this is our second kid, who has been to Sixpenny Day Childcare centre.
Also, the new paint they use is not washable it stains the clothes.
No evidence of Aprons whilst painting. Unfortunately, since the takeover, the childcare centre has gone downhill (team are excellent) to charge for bank holidays is not fair, other nurseries do not.
I have to agree with the others.

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 compassionate and considerate of other kids. I am so glad my daughter attends this childcare centre, and I am looking forward to two more of my girls coming up in October. I am constantly impressed by this childcare centre and the incredible team.

The team are incredible, and we get excellent daily feedback; he has come on leaps and bounds since starting there three years ago.
The facilities, especially the outside space, are second to none, and the forest school is a fantastic addition to the childcare centre. My son loves his days at Sixpenny.

The team are outstanding, 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 secure 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 kids when they come home, seemingly more grown up after every visit. So it’s worth its weight in gold. I adore the fact my girls come here.

One update a month is now received in individual kid diary instead of one a day. And then it is a generic room update not specific to your kid.
Kids are routinely highly dirty on leaving which is expected – but highly dirty face with mud in eyes etc is too far and happens regularly. Highly high charges for consumables and extras but highly little evidence of art, craft or other activities taking place. Highly few structured activities it seems. Their separate finance team seem to manage accounts highly 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 kids at Sixpenny for 7 years now and would sadly not suggest them following the new company taking over. There are some highly attentive team but our overall impression is still highly poor. Some lovely team however individual kid attention and assistance around their development is significantly lacking.
