Excellent place for children to attend. Very friendly staff who take excellent care of little ones. My daughter can’t wait to go to nursery every day.
Lovely place, lovely atmosphere. I am happy that my daughter is spending time at Hemsley House Day Nursery.
Hemsley House has extremely helpful and friendly staff that my child thoroughly enjoys spending time with.
Absolutely love this nursery for my children. They have come so far since attending Hemsley House. The staff are absolutely fantastic with the children and also with the parents offering support where needed. My children really enjoy meal times. The activities the children do whilst there they absolutely love being part of. Highly recommend. A* rating.
This is my second review of the nursery. My son attended the Tonbridge road day nursery, and my daughter has attended the baby unit since she was 10 months old. It's really hard to leave your baby but they are so lovely, she warmed to them almost immediately and is always excited to go. She comes out singing and chatty, I couldn't ask for more really. The staff are really adaptable and they'll go with the flow, they're professional but warm which is perfect. They're also very well organised and nothing is too much trouble. I can't recommend them enough! Thanks for everything!
I’ve always found the staff at Hemsley house very friendly and feel confident that they are offering the best care for my daughter, helping her meet her developmental milestones and also encouraging her to socialise well with her peers. She loves going to nursery and is very happy there. I would definitely recommend this nursery.
I have sent both of my sons here from the age of 6/7 months and would happily recommend it to others. I remain really impressed with the caring attitude of staff, beautiful outside areas and excellent food!
My son started in September and has enjoyed every session that he has been to. He often brings home pictures and things that he has made during the day.
The online app is very easy to use.
The nursery provides excellent care. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. I am always kept well informed about what my daughter has been doing during the day. The environment is very clean and tidy. My daughter has learnt a lot and enjoys her time at the nursery.
The staff are always happy and attentive. The food is cooked fresh onsite and is a healthy variety. We often receive daily updates and diary entries so we can see what the children have been up to during the day. They have a lovely large garden and a huge array of different activities to do include the occasional biscuit baking. My son absolutely loves attending. I couldn’t recommend more highly. An exceptional nursery.
My daughter was very shy and timid and frankly hated me leaving her at other nurseries but at Hemsley House the staff worked with us and she now absolutely loves going in and seeing her teachers and friends.
The staff are all very approachable, friendly and helpful and I have no hesitation that my daughter and soon to be daughters are in safe hands.
The food offered is varied, healthy and home cooked which is perfect as it's like home from home.
Cannot recommend this nursery enough.
Our daughter has absolutely flourished at Hemsley. She loves going, we've even had tears on holiday because she wanted to go to nursery! The staff are amazing, a child has a key worker but all staff interact with them and they're very personable with parents. This is a huge benefit as a child transitions through the age groups with how settled and secure they feel. Feedback given on daily activities, sleep, food etc and how your child is progressing is really informative, there's a termly newsletter on what children are learning, and staff are always happy to provide guidance on what more can be done to support learning at home. Management are keen to provide opportunities for improvement suggestions and these are always followed up. The facilities are excellent, with a great outdoor space that is used as much as weather permits. For us, the little touches that make this feel more like a family setting rather than a clinical stark walled nursery were the reason we chose Hemsley.
Thank you so much for such positive, uplifting feedback. To receive this review is so rewarding for us all. Thank you.
Fantastic nursery, amazing staff. My two love it here. Thank you for always helping wherever you need to. Potty training, kids behaviour - nothing is too much trouble for the staff here. Highly recommended.
My daughter has been attending Hemsley House for just under 2 years. In that time her development has been nothing short of sensational. The staff are very caring, especially on the odd occasion my daughter is upset and in need of a cuddle to reassure her.
Overall, my wife and I are very happy with Hemsley House. I would certainly recommend then to anyone in the Maidstone area who are in need of a nursery for their young children and I'm sure they'd be as impressed as we are.
My children have thrived here, they love the large garden and wonderful food. The staff, in my opinion, are outstanding, they not only attend to the learning needs of a child but are also incredibly nurturing of a child's emotional wellbeing. Communication between parents and staff is excellent. There is also a large number of long-standing staff, so we have built a great relationship with the same people over the last 4 years.
My children adore Hemsley House and we will be sad to move on to school, but I believe they have made that transition easy for us. my son will be leaving a well rounded and confident little boy. I have recommended Hemsley numerous times. it's a wonderful setting with amazing people.
Everyone is very friendly, professional and always trying to help. Couldn't ask for a better place or people to look after my little boy.
I love the communications between the nursery and us, they always keep us informed.
They truly care about each child.
Almost forgot to mention their amazing chef that make amazing meals for the kids.
My son has been at the baby unit from 3 months and the nursery has been wonderful. The staff are so friendly and supportive to me, and loving and fun with my baby. I came to Hemsley as a result of a recommendation from a very good friend and my midwife. I am so happy I have found a nursery where the staff take such good care of my baby and who I can trust completely.
My daughter has attended Hemsley House nursery for nearly three years now and I cannot fault the staff. From my initial enquiry to now, they have been prompt and professional. They always offer a friendly welcome at the door and nothing is ever too much trouble. They have been flexible with me and completed my paperwork needed for my course without delay. My daughter is due to start school in September and I know she will miss everyone when she leaves. I'll also be sad to not see everyone's smiling face each week. My daughter has developed tenfold since attending the nursery and I know she has made friends for life. Thank you to all the staff at Hemsley.
I find this nursery incredibly helpful and very caring towards my little boy. They teach him everything he needs to know and I am very confident that he is ready for primary school and this is down to all the staff in the nursery. I will be sad to see my little boy leave for school as me and my little boy have a great bond with the staff. Would highly recommend this nursery.
My little boy has been attending the nursery for a few years now although it seems like a few months, he still gets very exited to see all the staff and his friends. Both my son and myself have always been made to feel very welcome and fully updated with Max's progress at the nursery. I love the fact there are many different activities for my son to take part in and the staff go to great lengths to make sure the children are engaged and are having fun. This was the first and last nursery I looked at for my son, I didn't need to go elsewhere; the homely feel made me fall in love instantly. I couldn't rate the staff there any higher. I'm dreading the end of this year when my little one will be moving on but I've very thankful for how confident my little boy is now. This nursery has set him up for big school in many ways. Thank you.
