Thank you for your generous review. We tend to agree that we have certainly one of the best nurseries in Kent!
Our dedicated staff work hard to form genuine bonds between each and every child that comes our way. They learn through purposeful play, eat, rest and share the very best of their days together. It is clear for all to see how happy your child is in this environment.

Thank you for your delightful review. It is wonderful to see your son enjoying the place, just like his older brother! I agree, the children adore the staff and learn so much through the wide variety of options provided for them. Food is so important for the children and I will pass on your appreciation to the chef and his team.

Thank you for your super review. The staff work hard to fuse learning both indoors and out, resulting in a happy balance between the two. One only needs to take a look at how much Buttercup our free-roaming giant rabbit enjoys skipping around the garden, to see the joy that this space provides. The wellbeing of our children is paramount, happy playful children = happy playful adults!

I am delighted that you have seen this positive change in behaviour. Your daughter clearly settled quickly and saw that she was surrounded by caring and welcoming adults. She now has many friends with whom she will move to Reception, in September. It is a lovely feeling to drop off a child at nursery, knowing that she will spend her time in such a wonderful environment as this. Thank you so much for sharing this in your review.

Thank you so much for your review. You have captured an important aspect of our provision, the transition to Reception. Of course, you speak from experience as you have seen your son make that journey with great delight and enthusiasm. Luckily for your daughter, she has another year to enjoy the delights of the nursery!

Kings and Queens indeed, I would agree, our food is out of this world, even the fussiest of eaters can't help themselves!. All of our children feel happy and secure in their environment, laughing and playing through their days. It is an ideal springboard for the next step to our Reception class. Your daughter is evidence of just how special this place is, as she approaches Reception class in September as a confident and eager little girl. Thank you so much for your review.

Thank you so much for your review, what a year it has been for everyone. I am so glad that you have felt informed about your son's progress throughout. Definitely, his sessions in Forest School and French have been much enjoyed too.
