Located in the centre of Hawkinge
Located opposite Lidl and less than ten minutes from Folkestone, Kid Ease Hawkinge is conveniently placed for families in Hawkinge and the surrounding area.
We’re open 7.30am–6pm, offering flexibility for working families.
Transparent and affordable fees
We offer funded childcare for eligible families from the term after their child turns 9 months, including the Working Parent Entitlement of up to 30 hours per week over 38 weeks of the year. To better suit working families, we typically stretch this funding across 48 weeks, providing around 24 funded hours per week, subject to the annual entitlement.
As a guide, a child using 24 funded hours and attending three full nursery days per week (8am to 6pm), including six additional hours along with nursery meals (including a hot lunch and afternoon tea), would typically pay around £69–£81 per week during funded weeks, depending on age.
We offer a range of session patterns, including full days and shorter sessions, to suit different childcare needs. Early starts from 7.30am are also available at an additional charge.
We do not make additional charges for outings, most consumables, French lessons or the other learning experiences included in our sessions.
