Pennies Day Nursery - Newnham Court, Maidstone

Highly recommend this nursery and if I was to have any more children I would 100% send them here.

Pennies is a fantastic nursery that have always given my daughter the very best care. Always ready for a cuddle whenever needed and my daughter loves coming here every day.

My daughter has been attending Pennies since she was one (she’s almost six). She attended the nursery, preschool and now attends after school club and holiday club. She has a lot of fun and enjoys all the activities they undertake. I have been very happy with Pennies and would highly recommend. The staff are caring and lovely and I trust the place implicitly. If you are looking for a nursery I would suggest you go and have a look.

My son has attended Pennies since he was three and a half years old, after moving from London to Kent. He was always extremely happy at the nursery and later at the breakfast and after school club which Pennies offer as well.

Eight years using Pennies with two children. They are an extension of the family and have delivered care to an excellent standard. Well done guys.

Highly recommended.

Thank you for doing such an amazing job where mummy and daddy can go to work peace of mind.

Couldn’t recommend enough - Pennies, you guys are amazing!

My little one has been at Pennies from 12 months until starting school. I want to say a huge thank you to the whole team at Pennies for the amazing care, support and attention paid to my little one. They have given a rounded foundation and shown true care for each child and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Pennies to any parent looking for childcare.

A most professional, yet affable, group of staff (all female) who treat the children in a nurturing and personal manner. The building is secure and the reception inviting. My sons motor skills and reading has come along noticeably since attending. The staff are approachable and advisable. If I had to criticise something (begrudgingly) I would say maybe they cuddle the children too much. Kids should be able to fall over without parents having to sign an acknowledgement ship - but then again, I'm old-fashioned and this is just a personal preference. You would have no qualms about leaving your child here all day, each week.

Excellent facilities and staff. Always helpful and attentive. Updates on a daily basis of general well being and ongoing reviews of progress are a great insight into my daughter's progress.

My daughter has been attending Pennies Day Nursery - Newnham Court, Maidstone for nearly two years and I am very pleased with the care she receives. Staff plan engaging and age-appropriate activities and provide good feedback on how my child enjoys these activities. Communication with the nursery is excellent. Staff in the rooms, as well as management, take the time to answer questions from parents and management and identify next steps in my child’s development. The social skills the nursery encourage have had a positive impact on my child’s development and she looks forward to attending nursery. Leaving your child is always daunting at first but Pennies made this a smooth experience. Most importantly, my child feels safe at Pennies Day Nursery.

The rooms are spacious and warm and the outdoor space is safe and fun. They do so many different activities during the day and the artwork we receive is lovely. My daughter loves it there!

Overall I would not hesitate to recommend Pennies to anyone who is looking for a nursery/preschool where children are able to thrive.

My son has been going to Pennies since early 2013 when he was 10 months old and my daughter since early 2016. The first thing that impressed me was how the senior team knew all of the children by name, even though it is quite a big nursery, it was such a personal touch. The staff are very professional and very friendly and they care for the children in partnership with parents. They vary the activities the children do, they have lots of messy play and creative things to do, as well as play outside and a computer the little ones can use. They always offer fruit and the meals are varied and healthy. They provide feedback at the end of the day so you're fully informed of their eating and sleeping. They also understand the individual child's needs, for example, my daughter still gets a bit upset when I drop her off and a member of staff who knows her will always give her a cuddle to help her settle.

My daughter attended Pennies for many years and enjoyed her whole experience. The staff were always friendly and professional. My daughter also attended the after school and holiday club when she was older. She had a fantastic time and the trips they took the children on were fantastic! Highly recommend

Our son has attended Newnham Court from the age of six months and is soon approaching his second birthday, during this time my partner and I have been nothing other than impressed with the level of care he receives. He is always very happy to attend and very happy when we collect him in the evening.

We are always given a detailed report of the activities he has done, the food he has eaten and the progress he makes at the end of each day. Staff and management go above and beyond and is clear they are very passionate about the care of the children, our son has a lovely bond with his key person. We couldn't ask for more.

My daughter joined Pennies, Newnham Court, just before her first birthday. In a little over a month, she has settled really well which I don't doubt is due to the hard work and dedication of the team.

Her key workers and the wider team are genuinely caring and approachable, she loves going and is always sad to leave.

Facility and activity are excellent.

We've found the care to be excellent and wanted all three of ours to have the same opportunity, experience and believe all three have been given that even if for just 1 or 2 days per week.
