A day nursery in Folkestone for children from birth to 8+, open 08:30 to 16:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in November 2024. Open since 2014, with 50 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Kent
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Kent from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Staff create a warm and welcoming environment where children feel safe and secure. Children enter the nursery with ease and excitement and are delighted to greet staff and their friends. They settle quickly as they are instantly absorbed in their self-chosen activities.
Staff plan a broad and stimulating curriculum that is carefully sequenced and builds on what children already know and can do. For example, the younger children use simple images to express their feelings and emotions. Older children make reference to a much-loved story where colours represent a range of feelings and emotions. Children are fully supported to reach their potential and achieve good outcomes. Children thrive in this inclusive and stimulating environment.
Staff work well as a team and are very good role models. They help children to develop positive relationships with one another. Children are extremely well behaved and demonstrate good turn-taking skills. They listen carefully and respond with positivity to instructions. Children demonstrate a good understanding of safety procedures. For instance, staff teach children how to keep safe on stairs. Children demonstrate their understanding of safety rules as they hold on to handrails and navigate stairs with care. Staff support children effectively to develop the skills they will need for moving on to school.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to recognise more opportunities to extend children's learning further, particularly when they offer information during activities n strengthen information-sharing to help staff fully understand children's individual backgrounds, reflecting on their differences and celebrating what makes them unique.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
