My daughter has been going for over 18 months and I could not be happier with how the nursery operates. Everything I have seen has been exceptional and I would not hesitate to recommend Pennies. Communication is fantastic, the staff are lovely and my daughter comes home very happy. Nothing I would change.

Since we went for an open day when my son was 12 weeks old, we have felt that Pennies was the right place for him. Our son has now been attending Pennies for 18 months and since the first day he started, he has always enjoyed going to Pennies and has been delighted with the staff he has been within
both the Baby Unit and Star Gazers. He fondly talks about them when he is not there and asks to see his friends at Pennies. Throughout the COVID-19 situation, I have felt that the staff take the matter seriously and I have no doubt that my son is being looked after well. The whole organisation, from the management to staff in the units are approachable and professional and I would recommend them to my friends to send their children to them. Thank you for looking after our son so well and for always having a smile on your face!

I cannot recommend Pennies Newnham Court enough. My son thrived here. They told us initially that schools would know a Pennies child and it’s absolutely true. My son was incredibly happy and content at Pennies. The staff treated him as an individual, not just another child coming through their doors.
He wouldn’t be the bright, happy, confident child he is today if it wasn’t for Pennies and the staff there. The staff worked with him to encourage his imagination to explore. They taught him so much I as a parent wasn’t able to and they installed confidence in him to be who he is. I will forever be grateful for the love, care and time they gave to him.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 2-year-old son started at Pennies in September 2020 and he loves it. He gets very excited when we tell him he is off to nursery and loves his key worker. All the staff are very friendly and my son is always happy to see them. Having access to Tapestry and being able to see what my son has been up
to is great and so nice to see how he is developing. I was a little anxious about my son starting nursery, but from our first tour of the nursery and meeting the staff, I felt very confident that he would be well looked after and have so much fun there. I would definitely recommend Pennies to anyone looking for a nursery.

I would have no hesitation recommending Pennies to family and friends, my son has been attending for the last year since he was 5 months old. The staff are professional, caring and we never have any tears when dropping off as he is so happy and comfortable being there. They have amazing facilities with
lots of fun-filled activities planned for the children and keep you up to date with what they have been getting up to throughout the day. Absolutely the best nursery in Maidstone!

I couldn’t rate Pennies highly enough. They have been so accommodating and inclusive of our son who has additional needs. They keep us informed of what they are doing through pictures which is really reassuring especially as we can’t go inside due to COVID. We moved our daughter from a different nursery
so that our children would be at the same nursery and she is so much happier here. We have no more tantrums in the morning which makes life much easier. Thank you so much to all the staff at Pennies!

My son has settled in so well into Awesome Asteroids since September and he comes out so happy every day! He absolutely loves the big garden, with all the equipment, especially the mud kitchen. He's also really enjoying the singing they do of popular nursery rhymes, something which he’s never really
enjoyed before. His teachers are so lovely and very approachable should you have any problems. I would highly recommend Pennies ‘term-time’ preschool room, my son loves it!

My daughter has attended Pennies since she was a baby and I wouldn't go anywhere else. The nursery itself is modern, clean and full of fun and interactive toys for the children. The garden is amazing and my daughter always comes home excited to tell me about her day. The team are a credit to Pennies,
staff from the preschool room completely put me at ease. They plan fun activities throughout the day and my daughter doesn't stop talking about them. They are happy, kind and warm ladies who have brought the best out in my daughter, she loves going in each day to see them and misses them during the school holidays! Cannot recommend this nursery enough.

I couldn’t be happier with my choice of nursery for my daughter, and she absolutely loves it. The staff are amazing and how they have handled all the Coronavirus situation has been brilliant.
The staff are so friendly and personable right through to the managers who all know the kid's names and take
the time and make the effort to interact with them.
The facilities are amazing, lots of great activities daily.
I honestly couldn’t recommend this nursery highly enough!
Thanks, Pennies.

Pennies offer an absolutely outstanding service when enrolling your child into their care. I was so apprehensive around the whole process with my newly one-year-old daughter but I’ve really had my worries blown away with their capability and standard of care. The nursery itself is just beautiful and
you will find so many features - big and small - which I just didn’t find other nurseries offered in the same way. I love the simplicity of packing my little one's nursery bag as Pennies supply everything they need, I just pop extra clothes and a coat in her bag and we are good to go, no faffing about with nappies, cream or milk. My daughter was going through some fairly extreme separation anxiety when she started at Pennies so I knew the journey ahead was going to be difficult, but I’ve been met with positivity and enthusiasm each time I’ve gone to drop her off/pick her up. It’s wonderful and really puts my worries at ease knowing she is in such good hands. Thank you!

My daughter joined in September 2019. She is 2 and a half years old now. My daughter enjoys the nursery, especially the big garden play area. The staff are very friendly and are teaching her so many different things. The activities are brilliant from play/learning/baking. The food they provide is well
balanced and my daughter enjoys trying new things. She loves going in. She does whole days. As they develop they move to different classes which I really like, this will eventually prepare my daughter for school.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.800)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.800) out of 10 for Pennies Day Nursery - Newnham Court, Maidstone is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.800 for Pennies Day Nursery - Newnham Court, Maidstone is calculated as follows: ( (324 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 365 Ratings = 4.8
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pennies Day Nursery - Newnham Court, Maidstone is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 131 number of registered child places is 26.2, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Michaela Stone

Job Title: Head of Operations Joined: 2004

Hi, My Name is Michaela and I hold a CACHE Level 3 and Level 4 in Childcare and Management.


My journey in the Early Years started 25 Years ago; 20 of these years have been in a Management position. I have worked with all age groups from 3 months through to 11 years. I strongly believe in the best for every child, and that every child should be acknowledged as a unique individual and given the opportunity to flourish to their full potential.


I believe myself to be level-headed in all aspects of the business and operations, and I enjoy focusing on the development of my team, casting vision, and giving the team the education and tools they need to create a rich environment for the children to thrive within.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2004

Hi, my name is Claire and I have worked at Pennies since 2004. I hold a diploma in child studies and CACHE NVQ level 3 and 4 in children’s care, learning and development. I have thoroughly enjoyed my years at Pennies working my way up to a management position where I am able to help and support staff with their professional journey.


Over the years I have looked after children right from babies up to 11 years but I particularly enjoy the older children in our out-of-school club. My position as nursery manager is one I enjoy the challenge of. Being part of a child’s start in life is a rewarding career and I believe it is important that children can develop and flourish in a safe and secure environment.
