Our son has been at Katey's since he was 1 and has been through Cherries, Plums and Apples. He has had a wonderful experience. The staff have all been so caring with him and lovely to us too! Really lovely parents' evenings, progress reports and daily updates via the app which means pick-up is efficient
and can focus on the softer elements rather than food/nappies etc! Small but lovely outside space and love the gardening sessions and the frequent trips out to Bushy and Langdon Park. Highly recommend and based on discussions with other parents, a much more personalised approach than other bigger nursery chains.

Katey's Nursery and Pre-school is a fantastic nursery. Our daughter was in Apples and during her time there her confidence and curiosity grew. The room leader (now deputy manager) is fantastic - absolutely loves his job and very good with the children. We loved the routine involving; taking outside
shoes off and wearing slippers, writing their name for ‘registration’, cleaning teeth after lunch, trips out to the park. The whole nursery is very clean and has a friendly ‘pre-school’ feel. Would highly recommend.

Katey's Teddington is exceptional! The caring staff, safe environment and enriching curriculum have been a fantastic experience for my daughter. Big thanks to the teachers at Apple's class. Highly recommended!

My son was there since this nursery opened last year and we could not be more happy about it! Is not easy for a 2-3 year old to spend 10 hours a day without Mom and Dad, but he totally loved going there and the teachers were lovely. We have now moved to school, but I am very grateful to Katey's Nursery!
The unique features were the regular good quality insights provided by the teachers twice a year regarding the kids' development and the amazing performances pulled together with little ones for Christmas and summer time.

This is an enthusiastic and caring nursery run by the manager with a team that goes above and beyond in helping the little ones settle in and grow in confidence. Our daughter started off very shy and she blossomed into a lovely little lady under a member of staff with good care and warmth. Smallish
outside space but they make up for it with daily outside visits to the park which was a highlight for us.

All staff at Katey's engage the little ones with loving care and make them thrive. My son was really happy to go there every morning and came back with a smile in the evening. I would definitely recommend the nursery.

Just a fabulous nursery with incredible staff. I am blown away by the range of thoughtfully designed activities my daughter has access to each day. The knowledge and thought that goes into creating such extensive activities, is visible in how full of energy and enthusiasm she is each day when we pick
her up. The staff are loving, professional, and the communication with parents is excellent. We feel very lucky to have our daughter at Katey's Nursery & Pre-school.

We removed our 3 y/o within 2 weeks due to concerns with its management.
4 things I wish I'd known:
1. Whether your child's key worker will be doing full days and if not, who will be responsible for your child when they are not there (only after settling in were we made aware the key worker only worked
mornings)
2. How often the older children will be mixed in with the younger children - from our experience it was every afternoon (meaning a single big group with an age range of 2-5)
3. What accounts for an 'incident' the nursery will tell parents about - our child came home with multiple bruises (legs, neck and under chin) and a clear account of how it happened that afternoon - yet the nursery seemed completely unaware/unable to explain
4. What their complaint process is - after raising concerns about safeguarding, a company director sent an email (without ever talking to us) which made no meaningful attempt to address any of them and every attempt to make out we were the issue.

Reply from Kateys Nursery & Pre-School at Katey's Nursery & Pre-school Teddington

Dear KF


During your brief 8-day tenure at our nursery, which followed your child's departure from another childcare facility, you engaged in a series of damaging and malicious incidents that left a significant and long-lasting impact on our staff and operations. In our 20 years of nurturing lovely children and collaborating with remarkable parents, yours and your spouse’s behaviour stands out as uniquely disruptive and upsetting.


The incidents included:


1. Both parents shouting at and verbally abusing our Manager.
2. Presenting photographs of nursery children on a phone from our newsletter while attempting to persuade our staff to identify a 3-year-old whom you had become convinced was bullying your child
3. Endeavours to have another child removed from our nursery
4. Implied accusations of racism on our part, due to our celebration of Africa week - our Manager, who was African, was proud of the celebration she arranged for the children and for the opportunity to share her culture.
5. Filing untrue and malicious complaints with Ofsted and the Local Early Years Advisor, alleging various issues that they subsequently investigated and concluded that our practices were indeed "outstanding", and your complaints “invented and unpleasant”. You caused so much hurt and distraction to our hard working and caring team by doing this.
6. An attempt to access our nursery premises after the termination of your contract by following another parent through our security gates. A very scary experience for the staff member who spotted you.
7. Registering and creating a profile for our newly opened nursery on Google to leave a negative review, and persisting in sharing negative feedback on daynurseries.co.uk, who sadly publish these kinds of things.


All of this occurred within the short span of 8 days, and because we tried to reassure you your child was not being “bullied” by another 3 year old… Something you were having none of.


No childcare setting or staff deserves a reaction like yours, we feel very unlucky it was our setting you chose. We genuinely hope that you have found a nursery that brings happiness and tranquillity to your family.


Yours Sincerely,


Kateys Nursery & Pre-School

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.140)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.140) out of 10 for Katey's Nursery & Pre-school Teddington is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 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 4.893 for Katey's Nursery & Pre-school Teddington is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.893

  • 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 4.247 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Katey's Nursery & Pre-school Teddington is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.547

  • 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.
