KidZ City Nursery
Good★ 4.9 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Sheerness for children from birth to 8+, open 09:00 to 15:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in March 2023. Open since 2020, with 30 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
Children thoroughly enjoy their time at this friendly, welcoming nursery. The broad curriculum is planned well and extremely inviting. For example, children can choose to practise their physical development skills in a large soft-play area. They also enjoy a variety of real-life resources in the role-play section. These features help to ignite children's interests and curiosity.
Staff work hard to make sure all children achieve to the best of their abilities.
Children behave well and form close attachments to the staff. Staff find out about children's interests when they join. They find out about their families and their likes and dislikes. This means that they enjoy familiar activities on entry and quickly settle down to learn.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- further extend interactions with children and encourage them to talk more, to build on their language and communication skills n strengthen planning of group activities for children in order to focus teaching more precisely on the targeted learning intentions.

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.
