Acorn Lane Nursery
A calm, outdoor-focused nursery for children from nine months to school age.
About Acorn Lane Nursery
Acorn Lane sits in a converted farmhouse on the edge of Ashford with a garden that is used in all weathers. Rooms are arranged by developmental stage rather than strict age, so children move up when they are ready.
The nursery accepts all the current government funded hours entitlements for eligible families, including the extended entitlements for working parents, and can wrap paid hours around them.
Around a third of the team have been here more than five years, which matters more to settling children than almost anything else a nursery can advertise.

What parents say
“The same key person from nine months to school. That continuity was everything.”
“They are outside constantly and she sleeps like a log. No complaints.”
Questions parents ask
Does a nursery place guarantee a Reception place at the linked school?
No, and this catches families out every year in Kent. Nursery attendance carries no priority for Reception admission. You must submit a separate school application by the 15 January deadline.
Can we use our funded hours here?
Yes, for eligible families. We accept all the current government entitlements and take the funded hours off your invoice rather than charging and reimbursing.
Can we visit before deciding?
Always. We run visits during the working day so you see the nursery as it actually is, not tidied up for an evening open event.
