Welcome to Maythorne Cottages Day Nursery and Preschool. Our Ofsted Good-rated nursery in Hither Green originally opened in 2003 and we are dedicated to providing children aged 18 months to 5 years with the best care and education.
Each of our rooms has been specially designed to meet the developmental needs of our age groups. The rooms are bright and engaging and filled with resources and activities to support your little one in every way. From cosy reading nooks and role-play areas, to play trays and arts and crafts stations, there is always something new to discover.
