Nestled within the grounds of Kingsteignton Primary School, hdc Kingsteignton Nursery has a modern, home-from-home feel, with access to incredible outdoor spaces promoting an active lifestyle.

The nursery's facilities are specifically designed to recognise the needs of all children at the nursery. Your little one will be cared for, loved, and nurtured throughout their time at Kingsteignton nursery, with a focus on maximising learning opportunities through various activities.

In the Orchard, for the youngest children, the team provide a relaxing and stimulating space, where the children have easy access to the garden, and can participate in outdoor play. This is highly encouraged at the nursery, to further support development and offer an active approach to learning.

The Meadow Room, which is for toddlers, is equipped with a large variety of resources and natural objects to encourage your child's curiosity. Within this room, children have space to explore and imitate the world around them as they become more physically able.

In the Forest Room, for Pre-School, children will experience a mix of child-led and adult-led activities. This room provides great benefit to children's development, such as: increased motivation and concentration, problem solving, resilience and self-regulation skills. Outside the Pre-School has a huge outdoor mud kitchen, which the children love to play, pretending to make potions and bake delicious treats.

The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.

Helping children prepare for school is an important part of a child's first five years. At the nursery, rest assured that your child will leave feeling ready and prepared for the next steps in this important journey.

The staff have been so supportive of my shy daughter. They have worked hard with her and the results are now showing for themselves. The flexibility of the nursery hours is so convenient for me and my husband who both work shifts. I would recommend anyone to use this facility, thank you for everything!

Both my boys have attended hdc Kingsteignton and I have always been very impressed with the communication between staff and ourselves as parents. When my eldest was there he had issues with his knee and walking and after he had his operation they were fantastic and kept us informed if he was struggling.
My youngest had to have eye drops after an eye operation and they did everything perfectly, the procedure, paperwork and ensuring the eye drops were back in the bag ready for collection. Due to Covid-19 I have not been in the nursery since my little ones settling in sessions, as drop off and pick up are outside. I would recommend this nursery. My boys faces when they are leaving would confirm this.

My son loves going to nursery and doesn't stop talking when I pick him up. He is always so excited to share the adventures he has had that day and the exciting things he has learnt. All the staff are great and I would recommend hdc Kingsteignton one hundred percent.

My daughter has been coming to hdc Kingsteignton for six months now and it’s the highlight of her week, she absolutely loves it. She’s made some special relationships with other children and has a good relationship with the lovely staff. They’re great at communicating via the app and keeping us up to
date with her development with pictures and regular developmental reviews. If we have any worries they always help to ease them! They also provide an excellent variety of healthy food. I would one hundred percent recommend this nursery to anyone.

My little boy has been going to the nursery since the first week it opened and I have seen it from being very quiet to the busy thriving setting it is now. My little one is now in the preschool room and loves it. He skips in happily every day and the staff who look after him are amazing. There is a
real ethos of child led learning, where the preschoolers are able to choose the activities to suit their interests. I am happy that he enjoys it there and cannot fault the team at all.

Our daughter has been going to hdc Kingsteignton since September last year. The staff are brilliant and our daughter always looks happy to see them. We have been amazed at how much she has developed during her time at hdc Kingsteignton and believe the staff and their teaching practices have been instrumental
to her learning.

The preschool staff are absolutely wonderful, my child adores them. My child really seems to enjoy going here and skips in every morning. The preschool room isn't huge but it doesn't matter as they spend so much time outside, its like the outside and inside are one big space.

Wonderfully friendly staff who are very informative. The nursery is purpose built, so clean and modern. My children both love to attend the nursery. They speak very highly of the staff that care for them and really enjoy their "nursery days".

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.719)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.719) out of 10 for hdc Kingsteignton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.719 for hdc Kingsteignton is calculated as follows: ( (160 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.719

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for hdc Kingsteignton is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
