Pennies Day Nursery at Hockers Lane, Bearsted, Maidstone

In our purpose built baby suite the smallest children in our care get the personal attention they need for calm and contented days. We work with parents to understand the individual daily routine of each child. They sleep, eat and play at their own pace. We provide all nappies and formula milk, taking care to offer the same care and food they enjoy at home. With separate sleep rooms on both sites, babies can sleep peacefully, waking refreshed and ready to enjoy individual care and attention. Smiles and contented gurgling are the usual sights and sounds your baby will encounter.

The teams working in our baby rooms hold a minimum of a level three childcare qualification, first aid and food hygiene certificates.

Pennies priority is to make learning an enjoyable, stimulating and exciting experience. We supply a wide range of toys and equipment to develop language, intellect and imagination through structured activities.

Our pre-school programme teaches children the six vital areas of learning - Personal, social and emotional development - communication, language and literacy - problem solving (number work) - creative development - knowledge and understanding of the world - physical development - and follows the curriculum for the foundation stage meeting Ofsted recommendations for preparing children for full-time school.
