Nursery Days is fully and beautifully refurbished and now has large natural playgrounds.

It is based within the grounds of The Old School in the rural village of Upchurch close to Rainham, Sittingbourne and Gillingham. Nursery Days offers childcare for 3 months to 5 years.

Individuality is celebrated, and through observations and discussions with parents and carers, is something that really ensures children's time at Nursery Days is based on their interests and personal needs.

A highly qualified, experienced and skilled staff team, include qualified teachers who are dedicated to continually enabling children to feel confident and secure at Nursery Days.

Indoors, Nursery days is a well designed homely environment that promotes emotional well-being, togetherness and friendship. Here children can feel comfortable to snuggle down or explore with confidence, and will always be at home.

Outdoors, Nursery Days experimental playground is an extra asset to the nursery. The children also get to experience a natural learning adventure at daily forest school (with a nursery forest school leader) at their private orchard which is local to the nursery.

Nursery Days has a highly qualified and experienced cook to prepare fresh and healthy food daily for the children. The heartwarming home-cooked lunches, snacks, breakfast and tea use locally farmed fruit and vegetables.

They offer a huge range of experiences every day for the children at Nursery Days. These include baby yoga and massage, professionally lead sports class, cooking and gardening club, woodwork classes, musical and movement sessions and much more.

Both my children have attended Nursery Days. The staff are friendly and always welcoming. The children take part in lots of activities and their progress is logged on a computer system as well as paper forms which I enjoy seeing. The nursery opens early and closes late which is great for working parents.

My daughter is currently in Sunbeams Room, she absolutley loves coming to nursery and has lots of friends that she plays with there. She will often come home with things she has made throughout her day there such as cakes, pictures and cards on special occasions like Mother's Day.
They have recently
introduced Forest school where the children get to go round to the local school and have outdoor learning this is my daughter's favourite activity at nursery and she will tell me the morning she gets to do this before she even goes to nursery!
As parents, we feel that our children have been able to develop life skills and education with the help of nursery days, which may have not happened at another establishment. We have always been informed of our children's progress at the nursery and kept up to date with any changes to schedules if necessary.
All of the staff, without exception, are professional, helpful and most of all attentive to the children's needs, at all levels.

We have been using Nursery Days since moving to the area. Our little boy has settled in well. He loves going to play with all his friends. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The online Tapestry gives us a chance to see what he has been up to every day.

I have 2 children at Nursery Days - one in preschool and one in the baby room. They both love coming here and are thriving and learning so many new things. Having a qualified teacher in preschool is excellent. Lots of attention and excellent communication in the baby room. Only negative is there seems
to be a high turnover of staff sometimes.

Both of my children attend this nursery and they thoroughly enjoy their time here. They are happy to be dropped off in the morning and settle quickly with their friends and staff engaging in whatever activity is out. At the end of the day, my youngest always says 'had fun today'. What better way for
them to play and learn!

Our daughter has attended Nursery Days since she was nine months old, she is now 4 and ready for school. Throughout her time at Nursery Days, staff have encouraged and nurtured her. She loves everybody at the nursery, in particular, more recently SEN staff have supported with additional learning needs.
She wouldn't have progressed so well without this fantastic team.

Our child has been at Nursery Days for almost two years. We have had a very good experience. The staff are the most caring and kind you could hope for. Our child has developed really well and is prepared to move up to school now. I really liked how the staff are interested in the individual child, picking
them up where they are and meet their needs at the time. We as a family are very grateful to Nursery Days for all they have done in the last year and really recommend it to anyone who is thinking of finding a good, safe caring place for their child.

My child has been attending Nursery Days for at least two years now and he has been really happy here. The facilities are brilliant and he particularly enjoys the outdoor space. He has built strong relationships with all of his teachers and looks forward to the days he is at nursery. I am really pleased
we chose Nursery Days and would recommend the nursery to anyone I know. It really is a lovely nursery.

I have been using this nursery since 2013. All of my children have been well loved and cared for throughout that time. There is always a good range of activities for him to explore. Staff are friendly, caring, approachable and obviously passionate about what they do.


I love being able to track my

children's development on Tapestry and now with electric billing things are much easier. In the past, the nursery has perhaps not been as responsive to suggestions but this has got better. If I have a problem of a query this has always been dealt with in a timely manner. Wouldn't and don't hesitate to recommend.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.986)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.986) out of 10 for Nursery Days is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.986 for Nursery Days is calculated as follows: ( (497 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 504 Ratings = 4.986

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nursery Days is based on 42 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 42 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
