Dockside nursery is good which is just through the medway tunnel.
St Mary's Island School, Hoo Primary, Wainscott primary are good
I'd avoid smilers nursery, busy bees and chattenden school

@KnickerlessFlannelthanks so much for this! Didnt realize smilers and chattenden were bad...
My son currently goes to busybees in gravesend and I can't praise them enough! The staff there is amazing! Quite surprised the busybees down here isn't great.. it's a shame..

It is just my personal opinion, and it didn't suit us for lots of reasons but you might have different priorities to us, so might suit you better. I do tend to dislike the chain nurseries and the one here seems to have a high staff turnover which is always a red flag for me.
