Day Nurseries Owned by Pennies Day Nursery Ltd in Kent

I just wanted to say thanks to the Pennies Kids Club team for all they've done this summer holiday. My daughter attended this year and had the most amazing time. Variety in activities, making friends, day trips out, it's been amazing. She loved the food and they even managed to get her to eat food we never could at home!! Thanks to all the staff members, you've been great and she's looking forward to seeing you all again in the October break already.

My son has been at Pennies since he was 11 months old and is about to complete his final week ahead of starting school. The team and environment is genuinely wonderful - it's a small nursery with a family feel and as a parent it's always felt like a very safe, secure and nurturing environment to leave my child in. He's flourished under their care, both socially and emotionally and also in these foundational stages of structured learning. I know he'll really miss nursery but also that he's been set up for success in the future. I couldn't recommend Pennies (Hockers Lane) more strongly.

The Best Nursery!! I have the most contact with Beth & Tiger-lily and they're such lovely women. My daughter Josephine loves being here. All the staff I have ever come in contact with always have a smile on their faces. Such a caring environment, I trust them whole heartedly with my little girl. I cannot recommend this Nursery enough, I wish my daughter could stay here forever.

Thank you for all of your hard work ladies!

Our daughter attended here from 2.5 years old, and honestly I will miss her going here so much. Nothing was ever too much ask, they were always playing with the children and knew what activity she had enjoyed each day. They always greeted her and took extra time to make her feel confident. There's an open door where you can pick up/drop off whenever you like and I loved that as you could always see the children were cared for and engaged with no matter what time of day - i never once saw a child left crying unattended - which was so important for me and not true of other settings. The nursery is expensive compared to others but i feel confident my child was always safe and cared for, and they massively helped me as a working mother with all the little things I needed (eg suncream, medicines, brushing teeth!) which made it worth it. I feel confident she is ready for school and I notice all how much she learned from the activities by how she speaks at home! I would recommend to anyone!

My child recently switched to this Nurserys after school club and we have been really pleased with how easy the transition has been for him. The staff have spent time getting to know him and he loves the activities that are offered after school and in the school holidays.

As our journey at Pennies comes to an end I would like to thank three staff members in particular in the term time room at Newnham Court.

You have given my son a brilliant start in his education. He has enjoyed every second, learnt so much and flourished under your care.

My son is going to miss you all so much!

Thank you.

We have been very pleased our daughter has attended Pennies. She is now in the term time pre school room after starting when she was 2 years old. The term time pre school room staff are amazing. My daughter has been so happy with them and has really developed her confidence and grown in her character. Pennies is always clean and is a lovely environment. They have a lovely garden area with a mixture of different activities. I would definitely recommend Pennies to any parent!

Our daughter previously had a bad experience with her last nursery. We moved her to pennies a few years ago and she loves it and has really developed in all aspects. Her teachers are very caring and really give our child the care and attention she deserves. She feels safe and happy at the nursery and at the end of each day asks if she can go to nursery the following day which demonstrates how much she enjoys the nursery. Credit to all the staff they do a fantastic job.

Thank you so much to 3 staff members in particular :)

Thank you for all your hard work!

Thank you to all the staff at Pennies special mention to all in Awesome Asteroids for the outstanding childcare.

My daughter attend nursery already around 10months. Her settling was so hard, she was breastfeed for 2years and it was so hard for her without me. But the staff was so helpful. That to two members of staff in particular for their patient and professional work. My child now is so happy when is day for nursery and can't wait to see her friends! She start to speaking english as well. Thank you!

We are grateful that she has started her school/learning journey at Pennies and look forward to watching her reach new milestones and gain new achievements.

Pennies are amazing - they care so well for my boy and I feel very safe and happy sending him there. He has the best fun with the most amazing resources and space, particularly their outside areas. They clearly all care about him too which is so reassuring.

My grandchild has attended Pennies for almost one year. Although I only collect her on the occasion, I have always been made to feel very welcome in the nursery. I have had the pleasure of being invited to two open days at the nursery, and they have been wonderful, lots of lovely activities and grandparents can get to know the nursery and staff. I have seen some wonderful photographs of my granddaughter playing and having lots of fun.

My son absolutely loves it here. The team are fantastic, so caring and great at keeping you up to date on how you're children are doing. The activities they do are varied, interesting, and really support my son's development. They look after the nursery beautifully as well - it's very clean and tidy. They also have a gorgeous garden with lots of different play areas and the children go outside everyday. I'm super happy with the service here and would definitely recommend it.

Our daughter started at Hockers Lane in January 2024. She always looks forward to going to nursery and we have seen her confidence grow so much since attending. The staff are great and very accommodating.

My 2 year has been at Hockers for 14 months and loves it. She's always telling us about the entertaining things the staff do that make her laugh and fun she's had each day. Her speech improves on a daily basis. All the staff know her name and what she does and doesn't like. The staff are very professional and I know they care about her and how she's getting on.

Our daughter started nursery not long after turning 1, she is now nearly 2.5 and we are still so pleased that we chose Pennies. She seems to really enjoy her time at nursery, and we have witnessed her grow in confidence while being there despite being very shy. All of the staff are friendly and take the time to learn your child's name etc despite working in different rooms. While our daughter is now moving up to her next room which i'm sure she will equally enjoy, i'd like to give a special mention to the Ladybird Lodge and the lovely girls that work in there. They've created the most cosy room with a really homely feeling - i'd be very happy to spend the day there! Our youngest will be starting in a few months time and we're sure that she will also be very happy at Hockers Lane.
