Pennies Day Nursery - Hockers Lane, Maidstone

The best place I could think of for my daughter to grow and meet new friends. Everyone is so caring and I know my daughter is getting a great start in life. A massive thanks to everyone at Pennies Hockers Lane.

Pennies Day Nurseries are excellent, my children have both really enjoyed their time there and have always wanted to go. We can see how beneficial their day care has been in our children's learning and development

Pennies is a great nursery. They have such good facilities for the children and a wonderful outside area. The activities they do with the children are brilliant, lots of variety. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend Pennies.

We couldn't wish for friendlier staff and a warm and welcoming environment for her to grow and learn in!

My daughter started at Pennies in September and has loved every minute! The girls are all lovely and her key worker has been amazing with my daughter. I love seeing what they have been up to and the pictures that she brings home. Thank you to everyone who has helped my daughter settle into the busy bee room, She is now in the ladybird lodge where she is onto her next adventure!

A wonderful nursery, where I feel the staff genuinely care for my son. They offer brilliant activities to encourage learning and development with creativity and originality. My son loves it, and I feel confident leaving him there to go to work. All the staff know the children and communication with parents is brilliant. Thank you for being the wonderful people who care for my son when I'm not able to due to work commitments!

Pennies is a wonderful nursery. The staff are attentive and caring and you really get a sense that your child is treated as an individual. They constantly seek feedback and act on your suggestions.

Both of my children have enjoyed their time at Pennies and formed strong bonds with their carers.

Thank you to everyone for your hard work and dedication to what you do.

Pennies Day Nursery, Hockers Lane was absolutely amazing at helping us to feel happy about leaving our daughter (11 months, at the time) at nursery when I returned to work after maternity leave. We couldn't be happier with all the staff at the nursery and how much they have played such a key role in our daughter's development and happiness. She has already moved up to the Busy Bee room and she didn't even need any settling in time thanks to the ladies and her new key worker. Our daughter LOVES going to nursery and we would happily take her every day if we could!

Hockers Lane has been fantastic for our son, after a bad experience attending another nursery. The staff are always open to talk to, whether that be any concerns or anything positive. They are friendly, caring, empathetic and honest. Our son has blossomed in confidence since attending he has formed friendships with others in his group. He has been able to comply to structures and has enjoyed thoroughly the times when he has been on trips out and adventures with his friends in their lovely garden which offers a variety of different learning/play experiences for him from climbing frame to the sand pit, as well as building blocks and cars. Our son has been able to move through preschool age with very good support and he loves attending and feels very safe and part of the nursery, which as a parent is all you can ask for.

I have sent all 3 of my children to Pennies Nursery and they have all been so happy and absolutely loved going there!

They learn a lot of through play, as the staff are extremely good with them and take the time to really engage with the children. I always recommend the nursery to people as I have been so satisfied with it.

The staff teach my daughter life long skills and she has progressed so much since she has been there. Will recommend to everyone.

My two children go to Pennies Nursery and they both love it, I wouldn't send them anywhere else. When I come to pick up them they get upset to be leaving. The staff really care for the children here and I feel happy to leave the children

It's not that my children like to see the back of me, but when they open their arms to the nursery ladies I feel very reassured that they enjoy the environment. On an educational basis, classes are set on age and ability, so learning takes place at the correct level. Lots of activities to do inside, and the garden is lovely too. I don't have any second thoughts about choosing this nursery.

We looked around a lot of nurseries before settling on Pennies - and I have been extremely happy with our choice ever since.

The nursery is clean and with good equipment and facilities. The staff could not be more friendly and helpful, and I love the Tapestry system because it allows us to be more involved and get an insight during the nursery day.

I feel like my child is in excellent hands and has made good progress since starting, and if I have another child I would certainly not hesitate to send them there as well.

I am so pleased with this nursery. We love it and so does my little boy. The staff are so happy and cheery, morning and night even when collecting my child at 5.30! It's always clean and tidy too. We love it here.

Have sent both our children here so had a connection for 7 years now (this will be our last). Both of our children loved it, as have those of some of our friends whose children also attend. In fact, I haven't heard any complaints. The fees are quite high, but they children get well fed and nappies for the babies so I guess you get what you pay for and the hours they are open are long enough that there is not normally a rush home from work to collect the children.

The staff are brilliant. They work with you to understand the individual needs of the children and work to help them develop in a way which suits their personality and interests. The staff are qualified, friendly, committed, professional and diligent, and I have no reservations to recommend the nursery to anyone.

Pennies has been brilliant for our little girl. The staff are so good at meeting her individual needs and tackling transitions sensitively and at the correct pace. We feel it has done her the world of good and we will definitely be increasing her days when she is 3 as she enjoys it so much! The staff also use Tapestry to help us know what she is up to which is always lovely, especially when she hasn't settled on leaving her some days. I have already recommended Pennies Hockers Lane to friends and will continue to do so!

Both my sons currently attend Pennies at Hockers lane. They both love going and I feel they are extremely well cared for. All the facilities and staff are outstanding. I would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery
