Day Nurseries Owned by Spring by Action for Children in Kent

Both of my children attend St Barts, my eldest since she was 18 months old and my son from 9 months old, both have thrived in the nursery environment, having gained great social skills encouraged by all the teachers. My eldest is leaving in the summer to start school and thanks to the excellent care and attention she has received, she is more than school ready, St Barts have supported us as a family, giving us excellent advice on any issues we have come across with both of our children, we can't thank St Barts enough for the care they have given to our children and I would recommend the nursery to anyone looking for a nursery environment for their children

My little one loves to go to nursery.

The fee structures are flexible and sessions are at times that support working parents

I absolutely adore St Bart's as not only it is a welcoming nursery, but the staff are outstanding. The management team is superb, and every staff member has been exceptional. My little girl adores nursery and I really appreciate all the updates and photos. I love to see all the creative activities she is so lucky to take part in. The Explorers 3 team have been a dream to work with. They are so thoughtful and my little one has came home with cards, Christmas decorations and beautiful artwork. As a teacher myself I know how much work goes into key activities. I really feel every day is well planned out and this is so appreciated. I look forward to picking my little girl up every day. Thank you to all the staff for your passion, dedication and care for all the children in your care.

I have two children at St Bart's, both of them love their days there. They arrive eager to get to their rooms and are still smiling happy and playful when I pick them up 10 hours later. The staff are all super friendly and my kids regularly talk about them as friends when not at nursery.

The 7:30 opening is really helpful. The fee structure has flexibility so we are able to save some money for elements we don't need (early/late is optional, nappies fee is optional).

My son has been at St Bart's for 3 years now and is truly thriving due to their care, support and education. I am beyond pleased with the staff, facilities and most importantly my son is happy and enjoys his time at nursery. Communication with his key worker and the management is excellent and rapid. I feel all children here are deeply cared for and their best interests and potential are taken into consideration. I highly recommend St Bart's.

Lovely nursery, the staff are all very kind and informative. I appreciate all the photos of the activities enjoyed and what food and drink has been eaten throughout the day on the app, as well as the variety of food offered.

manners learnt! Overall, I would recommend St Barts to any parent.

My daughter has been attending St. Barts since she was 14 months old, staff took care and patience to make sure that she was happy and settled. The staff are all highly skilled, approachable and take the time to get to know my daughter. They are all so kind, always make sure that she is happy and will come up with new ideas to help her overcome any barriers. She takes part in varied activities to meet her development and ensure that she is making excellent progress against the Early Years Framework. Meals are varied and I love that she is trying new foods that she wouldn't eat at home. My daughter loves coming to nursery and she will be sad to leave to start school. Highly recommend St Barts!

We do feel that our daughter is truly cared for by the nursery team and she very clearly loves being here.

Even when we have needed flexibility, you have always helped us achieve this. Your staff are kind and caring; evidenced by my daughter reaching out for them when we arrive.

The nursery is always clean, and the teachers are always helpful; they always go above and beyond for every child in their care. and the app keeps us all updated on everything our kids are eating and doing.

I am so pleased with the nursery and always recommend. My daughter loves her time here, and with the app being used correctly, I have no worries and love the pictures. The staff are always so helpful and accommodating. It's been great having two children attend the nursery at different times (3-year gap) and still the same high standards and friendly staff.

The staff are fantastic, happy, enthusiastic and reliable; they truly care about person-centred care. My son has a few health issues, which the staff are great at dealing with. I feel safe leaving him in their care. He has made friends and learned lots at St Bart's.

My granddaughter came to St Bart's having not settled at a previous nursery. This was an upsetting time for the whole family and felt like a failure on our part. But right from the start, the manager and staff at St Bart's put us at ease, listened to our concerns and gave us reassuring updates throughout the day until we knew my granddaughter had settled. Cannot praise them enough for helping us through this time. Lovely nursery, lovely staff, and great management.

The staff at St Bart's are lovely (that includes operational staff and St Bart's management specifically). My children literally run into the nursery each morning and leave with huge smiles on their faces. The children get the chance to be creative, have scheduled garden time and a few times have been taken out into the local town to visit the railway station, pumpkin patch, etc. The staff takes the time to get to know each child, making time to understand their individual needs and highlighting what makes them special. I couldn't ask for more. Unfortunately, head office aren't the easiest to deal with and have made things quite difficult previously hence the low management rating but the staff on the ground at the nursery are the very best.

I'd highly recommend this nursery, without a doubt.

Amazing nursery. Look after the children so well. Couldn’t praise the staff enough. They are amazing and so friendly. My child loves it here and is being really well treated, and is engaging and learning so much.

I can’t speak highly enough of the nursery and staff, and a huge thank you to them for what they do!

Staff focus on key skills that our son needs to learn alongside the fun play.

My son has been here since he was 16-months, and he absolutely loves it. He’s now three and has come on in leaps and bounds. The staff are great, and they really challenge his little mind and know how to get the best out of him. He comes home absolutely shattered too, which shows how much they pack into their days. Love it here!
