A day nursery in Ashford for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in June 2022. Open since 2007, with 32 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 enjoy coming to this welcoming and exciting nursery. They arrive happy to see their friends and the staff, ready to play and learn together. Children look forward to the varied and fun activities staff offer them each day. For example, younger children who show an interest in dinosaurs are met with a tray filled with rocks and soil made from cereal. They explore different textures and move their dinosaur to create imaginary play experiences through the tall trees. Children are developing the skills they need in readiness for the next stage in their learning.
Children are very sociable and form strong, positive relationships with the staff and with each other. They benefit from a large outdoor space and enjoy taking care of their resident rabbit. Children take turns to learn about what the rabbit enjoys eating. They collect long grass and leaves from a mint plant, to share with their furry friend. As a result, children know that they must be gentle and understand that living things should be cared for with kindness.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure all staff consistently use the successful behaviour strategies so that children clearly understand the type of behaviour that is expected of them n provide more guidance and support for less-experienced staff on how to extend children's learning, particularly for older children.

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.
