Nursery
Forest Explorers Nursery is a key entry point to Kent College Prep School, and children can join from the term they turn two years with a guaranteed place in our Reception class.
We invite families to visit us throughout the year; come along to Prep School events or join us for Nursery Stay and Play sessions. We hope you and your child will spend time getting to know us in advance of applying for a place and joining us.
Families with pre-school children are welcome to join the weekly Parent and Toddler Group on Friday mornings, 10.00am-11.00am during the term.
Stay and Play
Fridays in Term Time, Autumn 2026 Dates Coming Soon
Our Stay and Play mornings are a lovely way for you and your child to spend time together in a relaxed, friendly environment. There’s plenty of space for little ones to explore, enjoy creative activities, and join in with songs or stories. It’s also a great chance to meet our team and other families, and to get a feel for our Nursery community.
