Pennies Day Nursery - Hockers Lane, Maidstone

They always do different and very fun activities. Definitely recommend it.

An absolutely fantastic provision with amazing staff from management to accounts, kitchen and room staff. My daughter loves coming to Pennies and I would highly recommend Hockers Lane to any parent looking for a home from home nursery setting.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. I would strongly recommend this nursery to everyone. Their care, attention, organisation, dedication and commitment to the children is second to none. Excellent staff.

We have been really pleased with how well our son is settling in at Pennies Day Nursery - Hockers Lane and we put this down to the staff who work very hard to meet the individual needs of the children attending. The staff have been warm and friendly with ourselves and our son from our very first visit, and this has remained for every visit and interaction we have had with all the staff working there.

We feel listened to as parents, and also feel every effort is made to meet our son’s needs on the days on which he attends. We know that our son enjoys the interactions, play and cuddles he receives from the staff at Pennies Day Nursery - Hockers Lane and we are very comfortable leaving him under the staffs care there.

My daughter is my third child to go to Pennies Day Nursery - Hockers Lane and I couldn't recommend it enough. A lovely family atmosphere with staff who my children have clearly bonded with. I would also mention the excellent kitchen team who are as keen on the children building a healthy relationship with food as I am, regularly cooking with them and letting explore different things.

Our son (now 7), was very happy at Hockers Lane, so we're very pleased to be back there with our 2 year old. I'd moved office locations and had been pleased to find there was a nursery on site, but knew instantly it didn't match up to how we'd felt visiting Pennies. I always feel welcomed and that staff are observant, informed and above all treat my child in a way that reassures me that she is happy, safe and occupied at each visit. We love receiving photo updates that show us the activities she's tried (which are always varied). The menu is varied and communication very good. Couldn't recommend more highly.

I don’t worry about my boys at all when they’re there which is so important while I’m at work. I couldn’t ask for more!

I decided to send my first child to Pennies after so many recommendations from friends, and after seeing the nursery first-hand I knew I wouldn’t need to see anywhere else. The staff are wonderful - engaging, caring and great with the children. I am extremely happy with how well they look after my child and the food is the best I could hope for. The variety of activities they do with the children is really good and it’s so nice to receive updates during their day. I am really pleased I chose Pennies.

The care that my son receives at Pennies Nursery is outstanding. All the staff are so friendly and communicate well. Would highly recommend.

I would definitely recommend this nursery to other families.

The nursery has great facilities and a wonderful garden.

This is a professional and friendly nursery. They work hard to communicate with you in order to get to know your child's likes and dislikes. As they reach the mini preschool and preschool, the emphasis becomes learning through play and just having fun with it. They've been instrumental in helping to initiate potty training with my older two and have also taught them tricks to put on coats etc. My kids have always been happy to go in knowing they'll be looked after well, eat well and see all their mates. I can highly recommend.

The nursery has a very personal feel to it, everyone knows our son's name, whether they work in his room or not and greet him as soon as they see him. I cannot fault the nursery or the staff and would definitely recommend it to everyone.

The nursery is a great setting for the children. The girls work so hard in making each and every child feel welcome whilst supporting the parents to feel confident leaving them there.

Lovely kind and experienced staff offering a very diverse set of activities for the children. Very much child lead, they get to know each child well and tailor the day to their interests which nurture their creativity. Gentle approach to discipline. The kitchen team are in contact with the families through newsletters and conversations. They also help teach the children cooking and baking. The food is healthy and my child always eats it as it tastes good too. It’s also different each day, intriguing him to new flavours.

Absolutely lovely nursery, would recommend to everyone. Such a happy homely environment. My little boy has blossomed since attending the nursery. They do so much with the children, regular outings, lots of outdoor playtime and messy play and he loves it!

My daughters have been at Pennies Day Nursery for 2 years she has some lovely friends and has fun there and doesn’t want to come home. Staff turn over is constant and there are only 2 girls that have been there as long as her!

My kids love Pennies Hockers Lane Nursery. Nice and caring staff, fantastic activities for kids. Thank you all for looking after our twins.

Pennies Day Nursery is a lovely setting and my son enjoys his time there immensely. The outside space is lovely and the staff are great. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Pennies to anyone.

The staff at the nursery made my return to work totally stress-free. I felt completely comfortable leaving my son in their care. I love hearing about all the exciting activities he has enjoyed during his days and all the yummy meals he has eaten. I look forward to the email updates with pictures and finding out what he has been up to. He always seems a bit put out when I come to collect him!!! The staff genuinely seem to care about all the children and are always approachable if I have any queries or concerns. The staff could not do more to help with my son's food allergies. I Could not wish for a better nursery!
