My Daughter has been at this nursery since September 2024. She was at another nursery 9 months before that and the difference is amazing. Within two weeks we noticed her speech coming along much quicker. Her confidence has grown so quickly, the staff are lovely any requests I have asked them to follow they have. She talking about everyone there constantly at home and is excited to come in to see her friends and the staff.

My child is excited to attend nursery. The staff always greet her and make her very welcome. She has made so many friends and talks a lot about her key workers too. Especially what she has had for lunch and pudding. Pudding is her favourite.

Our daughter started with Pennies in September this year and we were nervous about trusting others to look after her (possibly a feeling other first-time parents may have). The staff at Pennies made the transition so easy and she absolutely loves going now, with big smiles when she sees us pull up outside nursery. We receive a daily report after each session and a report at the end of the week with lots of photos of her time at nursery. We are so thankful for Pennies and particularly two members of staff who are amazing and so creative in all the activities they put on for the children. Our daughter has learned so many new skills since she started at nursery and really benefited from spending time with the other children in her group.

Our daughter attends Pennies Hockers Lane 3 days a week. The staff have been welcoming and helped my daughter settle into the nursery extremely well. She was a little apprehensive at first but now goes into nursery with a big smile on her face. We always receive lovely photos and updates on her learning and development and we have noticed how her social development has come on leaps and bounds since attending Pennies. We are very pleased with the care our daughter receives and can not fault the nursery.

My daughter joined Pennies in January at six months old. To say I was anxious to leave my baby so young is an understatement. However my fears were quickly put to rest after meeting the lovely two particular members of staff, the care and attention to detail they put in is outstanding. My little girl would put her arms out to go to them in the morning, I could walk away and go to work knowing that she was with her Pennies family. They threw her a birthday party when she turned one and praised all her milestones along with me and my husband. Them early days were made achievable because of their care. Once she turned 15 months she moved up to Busy Bees and we did have a slight wobble with transitions, however, another member of staff worked hard to help settle her in and now she goes happily to nursery once again. The vibe is warm and caring in Hockers Lane, I see continuous change and progression in the rooms to make sure that the children all have the best days there, which really and truly is all we want as parents.

My daughter attends Pennies at Hockers Lane, I just want to say the SENCO lady is absolutely amazing! She really does care about the needs and care of your child! Any worries you have she responds straight away and helps find a strategy to help! I want to do a big shout-out to the ladies who are in the Lodge. The staff are amazing and always want the best for the child and you can see the love and care they have for the children.

I can’t thank the butterflies room, ladies, enough for how amazing they have been with my son’s transition to nursery life. I was a very anxious mother and found it challenging to let my son go. My worries were soon gone, from the settling-in process and the constant reassurance to help us settle. My son absolutely adores the girls in the baby room and will miss them when he moves over to the busy bees' room in September. Thank you again, girls, and keep up the amazing work.

Our little boy started at Pennies Day Nursery at the age of fourteen months, and the team there made a great effort to help him to settle in. He’s always enjoyed his days at nursery, and the activities they do with the kids are really fun and varied. He’s moved through the rooms smoothly, and they’ve always been really supportive and caring towards him. I couldn’t recommend the team there enough. Management is always friendly and helpful too. We’ll be sad to leave when he goes off to big school.

My little girl has been going to Pennies Day Nursery - Hockers Lane, Maidstone since 2020, she's really grown and learnt so much whilst she's been there. They've really prepared her for being school ready and supported her throughout everything. Great nursery with events put on for parents to attend and enjoy watching their child play and interact with their friends which many end up in the future schools with.

My son and daughter have both attended Pennies Day Nursery, we've been using them for years. I cannot fault the care, love and learnings provided by the Pennies staff. The nursery is a lovely environment and the children love it there. So much attention goes into getting them ready for school and the staff are just the best. They do so many different activities every day and send photos and updates daily on what the children have been up to.

Our 2-and-a-half-year-old started with Pennies a few months ago and loves it. The management were great in communicating with us before she started and securing her place/walking us through the process. The staff are brilliant - so friendly looking after your child. There is a great balance between structured learning and free play/socialisation. Highly recommend.

I think it has been amazing, the settling support my child and me, as his mum, have received. All three of the ladies in toddler room really have been so understanding, done their utmost to reassure me and my child. The ladies all are so warm and friendly, something that I can see is so natural with all of them. They genuinely enjoy interacting with the children to help them develop. Having additional sessions supporting my post-natal anxiety gave me an opportunity to really observe that, it was so lovely to see. They have shown such patience and are supportive, genuinely listening to what can help make that smooth transition happen, arranging toys/activities he likes to come into and what he doesn't like being aware of to avoid. Offering support and advice when needed. You can tell they genuinely care. The additional home visit, care and hands-on approach with the management is amazing. A home from home with the comfort that the girls provide is lovely. The environment is so open maintaining safety.

Our 7 month old baby girl started in Pennies a few weeks ago now and she loves it! The team in the baby room are the kindest souls, they listen to everything you say, are so attentive and maternal and loving to our little lady who is the youngest there and it makes it so much easier going back to work full-time knowing your baby is in such amazing hands. We are thrilled with Hockers Lane. Any recommendations or asks you have are really listened to. They keep you updated with pictures and videos and daily updates on how little one is doing which is just brilliant and so lovely for her Granny in Ireland to be able to hear about too. Our baby loves Hockers Lane so much. All the ladies are the best! They treat the babies as their own and we are so glad we found this nursery having only moved to the area in Feb 2022. 5 stars from us! It's outstanding for a reason and the variety of what they get up to is just brilliant.

Our son had a good time at Pennies Nursery (Hockers Lane), though his stay was, unfortunately, a lot shorter than planned. Everyone has been very friendly and supportive, wish we had time to experience more outside the pandemic.

The staff are incredibly friendly and really show love and care towards the children. They always make a huge effort with different activities and sensory exploration. My son absolutely loves them and loves going there. He doesn't even look back when I drop him off in the mornings! The garden is also huge and has a lot of varied activities for them to do which is great. I would highly recommend Pennies Day Nursery to anyone.

My little boy has quality time at this playschool. His skills and confidence have really developed since attending this playschool. The staff are absolutely brilliant, they are very loving, caring and thoughtful towards him and when he is upset that I have dropped him off at the playschool sometimes, The staff go above and beyond to send me a photo of him having the best time with his friends, which really puts my mind at ease.

My son has been going to Pennies Day Nursery for over a year and absolutely loves it. Staff are consistently informative and supportive, I get the impression they really take the time to get to know each child individually and understand their needs. My son loves going and always talks about people there in a really happy way. There's nothing negative I could say about Pennies!
