Hemsley House Nursery School is split between two beautifully converted, large Victorian homes in Maidstone, Kent.
Educators at Hemsley House Nursery School are experienced in providing premium care and education for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years old, achieving an Outstanding Ofsted rating (December 2022). They adopt a hybrid approach to education, combining the EYFS framework with their own Storal curriculum. This flexible, tailored approach provides children with opportunities to reach their full potential at their own pace.
The cosy, home-from-home learning environments provide opportunities for wonder and stimulation. Its calm and cosy sensory room is especially beneficial for children with learning difficulties.
At mealtimes, fresh and healthy food is cooked every day by their onsite chef. Educators use mealtimes as an opportunity to help children learn about nutrition, where their food comes from, and older children help with food preparation in the kitchen.
If you would like to find out more about this Ofsted Outstanding nursery school, please contact the nursery to arrange a time for you and your family to visit.

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...
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...
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...
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.

Welcome to Hemsley House Nursery School.You’ll find us at two locations in Maidstone on Tonbridge Road and Terrace Road, only a 10-minute walk apart. These two converted Victorian houses have a warm and inviting home-from-home feel, and their large gardens enable children to experience the joy of outdoor play.
Every day at Hemsley House, we encourage children to be independent and imaginative in our wonderful learning environments. In doing so, they soon develop a real love of learning and a curious mind.
Our experienced team come with a wealth of early years learning insight. We know that every child is different with their own story to tell, so we make sure that your child learns in a way and at a pace that’s right for them.
We’d love you to visit us, so please do get in touch and we’ll look forward to meeting you and your family.
