Pipkins Nurseries: Fun Steps in Learning

Happy, caring Kent nurseries with experience going back to 1993

Pipkins Nurseries is a family-run group of four nursery schools in Sevenoaks and Gillingham, designed especially for young children. Our schools are bright and colourful.

You wouldn't think babies can solve problems, would you? Well, yes, they can and they were loving every minute of it!

We supplied the baby room with many puzzles today, and they could not get enough of them. They loved matching puzzle shapes to their rightful place.
