Overall Experience

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.

Review of Pennies Day Nursery - Hockers Lane, Maidstone from K C (Mother of Child) published on 14 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Brilliant nursery.
My little girl can be quite shy and more focused on adult interaction but Pennies have been brilliant for supporting this. Their very focused on how they can maximise the nursery experience specifically for your little one, and I've seen nothing but positive things (especially in terms of social interactions), since my little girl started a year ago.
We wouldn't attend anywhere different. All the staff are so friendly and brilliant, meals are lovely and varied and activities and outside time is very interactive and encouraged.

Thank you for all of your hard work ladies!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so happy to hear how much your little girl has grown in confidence over the past year. Our team works hard to make sure every child feels supported and can enjoy their time in their own way, so your feedback really means a lot. We'll be sure to share...

Review of Pennies Day Nursery - Newnham Court, Maidstone from R T (Mother of Child) published on 29 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Reply from Naomi Williams, Marketing and Social Media Manager at Pennies Day Nursery - Newnham Court, Maidstone

Thank you so much for your lovely words! It's been an absolute pleasure watching your daughter grow and flourish during her time with us. We'll really miss her bright smile and curiosity around the nursery! Knowing that you felt supported and confident in the care she received means so much to our whole team. We wish her all the best as she starts her next adventure at school.

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!

Overall Experience

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.

Absolutely love the girls in the pre school term time room. I was abit nervous sending my little girl to nursery but they were so welcome and have made her so happy and well settled.

Review of Pennies Day Nursery - Hockers Lane, Maidstone from Lori Y (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Once it was time for my little one to start Nursery, choosing which Nursery she attended was easy!
Having friends and relatives with little ones who attended Pennies (both the Hockers Lane and the Newnham Court sites) I was inundated with positive comments, messages and referrals, all speaking so highly for Pennies and the lovely staff that work there!
Since my little one joined, she has grown in confidence as the weeks have passed. She now speaks excitedly of her key workers at home and, after a few weeks/months of settling into her new routine, she now goes into Nursery with a smile on her face, which has been a welcome comfort for my partner and me.
We have never doubted the care she's received and feel confident in knowing and trusting that she is well looked after.

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.

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.

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.

Review of Pennies Day Nursery - Hockers Lane, Maidstone from Z R (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear how much your daughter has grown and thrived at Pennies.

Overall Experience

My child has been attending since November and he has grown to love it so much! Starting off at nursery was hard on him and myself but I knew he was in excellent hands. The staff are amazing and have been working there for years they made us feel so assured. He loves going now, drop offs are still challenging but by the end of the day he is happy and playing! He comes home with having excellent meals and snack, wonderfully creative messy play, loads of outdoor time and crafts! Pennies was recommended to me by a colleague and I would recommend them as well! It's a wonderful caring compassionate place, and feels like one big family!

Reply from Naomi Williams, Marketing and Social Media Manager at Pennies Day Nursery - Newnham Court, Maidstone

That's so wonderful to hear! It sounds like your child has really thrived at Pennies, and it must be such a relief to see him enjoying his time there now. It's clear the staff are incredibly dedicated, and that nurturing environment has made a big difference for both of you. Thank you for sharing your experience!
