Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
Up to 30 hours funding available for 3& 4 year olds. We also accept the new two year old funding as well as free for two hours.
Worth knowing. 15 hours universal funding for 2 and 3 year olds is normally taken from 9-12 five mornings a week or 1-4 five afternoons a week. We will however discuss other options if needed. We have a variety of delivery options for the 30 hours funding which are avaliable on request.
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 strong family feel to the nursery, in which children settle quickly.
Parents' and children's well-being are at the heart of everything they do. Leaders have a passion for using art and music to support children's emotional well-being.
For example, younger children often enjoy choosing familiar songs to sing and dance to. Older children thoroughly enjoy learning about different styles of music while swirling ribbons in time to the rhythm. Staff display children's artwork based on different artists and children beam with pride as they recall how they made them.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- focus curriculum plans more precisely within the garden area, to ensure children are consistently challenged in their outdoor learning.

Still missing for Wings Nursery
- Nappies
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £40.00 a day still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
