Forest Explorers Nursery is a key entry point to Kent College Prep School, and children can join from the term they turn three 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.
