About Benjamin Rabbit Nursery

It had been a nursery previously under another provider but we took this on in August 2018 and wanted to develop an outstanding nursery. The nursery can cater for up to 77 children based on the Ofsted space requirements. The nursery is well located for access to Snodland train station and local bus routes. There is parking on site for children to be dropped off at the nursery and for staff parking. There are local shops in Snodland and the nursery is also near to Maidstone, Rochester and Chatham for a wider range of shopping opportunities.
