Excellent nursery. Cannot fault it at all. The staff are very friendly and informative. Both my children loved coming here. I recommend this nursery to everyone. Everything about it is fantastic. The children are encouraged in every area.

Helped my little one settle in well, and she really enjoys her time there. Love their ethos, especially in the specific ways they encourage the children to be independent like cooking for themselves! Fab.

My daughter has attended Hedgehogs Preschool Chatham for 10 months and it is a wonderful nursery, she absolutely loves it. She always comes home saying she's had a great day. They often go out on little trips, have picnics and explore their surroundings. My daughter has really flourished in this nursery,
the staff are fantastic with her and at communicating with me. I can't recommend enough!

The best preschool and nursery there is in this area. Prior to making the decision to send my children to this nursery, I viewed several nurseries in the area and this is the only one that offers this much outdoor time for all the children, which is so, so beneficial. My little ones simply love it here.
All the staff are extremely caring and will reassure you whenever you have a request about your little one. Highly recommend.

Our son has been going to Hedgehogs Preschool Chatam since September 2020. He had a difficult time settling in but thanks to the amazing staff there, he now loves it. It is a wonderful setting where children can get real life experiences playing with real life objects. Having access to a field and its
close proximity to a park is a real bonus as kids can spend quality time outside, exploring the nature. It was a great choice and if I have to do it again I will choose them without a doubt. Amazing place with amazing, loving and caring people, working very hard to make everyone welcome.

Hedgehogs Preschool Chatham is a lovely nursery, with very friendly and professional staff. Our daughter doesn't look back when we drop her off and we really like the outdoor play policy. Great location by the train station too with early bird sessions for when people are back in the office. Wholehearted
recommendation!

My daughter has been attending the Hedgehogs childcare setting in Chatham since September and it has been nothing but an amazing choice for her!
Choosing the right setting for my daughter was a difficult choice but as soon as we saw the website I knew it was the right place as she had the choice for
outdoor play and learning which suits her more.
Before attending my daughter was not clear in her speech but the teachers have really helped her flourish in making her speech clearer and more fluent.
The teachers are very helpful and keep you updated and any issues we have had were dealt with appropriately and sufficiently, nothing but an overall great experience!

My daughter started Hedgehogs in Chatham in September 2020 and has loved every second of being there. The staff are all extremely friendly and welcoming. My daughter gets excited every morning to go to nursery and to see her teachers and friends. I have recommended and will continue to recommend this
nursery to anyone.
