Deal, Kent - preschool recommendations?

[Alwaysonarecce]

Hoping someone from Deal can help - we are selling our house elsewhere in Kent. DS is two and a half and already goes to an ‘outstanding’ nursery he loves - due to move up to preschool in December (likely to have moved by then anyway). So am very keen to know of good preschools and why they are good, in Deal please! I’ll obviously go and visit them too. Any advise re best ‘feeder’ preschools good too. Is catchment a major issue in Deal? Thank you.

have a look at aspire nursery, which is rated outstanding by ofsted and is in the grounds of Hornbeam Primary, or have a look at kingsdown preschool, which is a lovely village nursery located a 15 minute drive from deal x

Thanks sleepismysuperpower. Can I ask is that road to Kingdown school ok in rush hour, we went to the Zetland Arms recently which is near I think and it made me wonder about having to drive to the school when it could be possible to walk to one that’s central. I’ve heard it’s brilliant though, the school. Thanks for your response. Will add Aspire to my list too.

I think it is ok, haven't been for a few years now. might be worth trying to drive it at the time you would if going to the school?
