Excellent nursery! Both our children have attended from ages 1 to 4. The food is organic and healthy. The setting is new and kept immaculate. All the staff are incredibly kind and caring. Each week a new theme is selected for activities and a new letter for phonics. There are spaces for outdoor and indoor play, including special activities like yoga and field trips are starting to be organised. Our children are very happy and we have seen their curiosity for learning and personal development grow exponentially. Would highly recommend!

This is a fantastic nursery for our daughter. We were one of the first to join the nursery after it just opened in 2023 so we initially had some anxieties about this as other settings in Sevenoaks have years of history/reviews to troll through. in hindsight, we had nothing to worry about as the nursery team are very friendly, collaborative and provide a stable environment for the kids. Our child has attended since she was 3 months old due to work/life pressures and the team could not have been more supportive of me during the post-partum stage. They serve only organic food (all their meals are nut and dairy-free which helps for those with allergies) and they have respected our daughter's changing dietary requirements as we have gone from breastfeeding (providing breastmilk to them), to formula feeding, to weaning. It's really become a secure and stable home away from home for our daughter and we are very happy with it so far.
