Cator Park is a lovely space with welcoming staff and well-thought-out activities for the children to enjoy. The outdoor space is limited but they make the most of it and the backdrop of the park is beautiful. I think many children appreciate the smaller, calm space.

The director of the nursery is so lovely. She's been so accommodating and caring towards our son, whose now so happily settled. You can tell that the staff really care about each individual child and regular updates are given in person and on the app.

We feel so fortunate to have had both our kids at Cator Park Montessori Pre-School. It's been such a wonderfully nurturing environment where they've both thrived and been genuinely happy to go in every day. The staff are amazing- so kind, attentive, and truly dedicated to creating a positive experience for every child. And being right in the heart of such a beautiful park makes it even more special. We've especially loved the variety of activities the nursery offers, from yoga and Spanish classes to science and sports. It's been incredible to see our kids enjoy and learn from such a diverse range of experiences. Thank you, Cator Park Montessori, for everything you've done for our family!

Both our children have come through Cator Park Montessori and have loved every moment. The staff are brilliant and the kids' development is great also. Highly recommend the nursery who take great pride in their jobs.

My two-year-old son loves his time at this nursery. It's a great setting in the park and the kids can spend lots of time outdoors. The activities, like cooking and science experiments, have really engaged our son fostering his curiosity and development. The staff are all very friendly and our son often talks about them outside of nursery showing what a great relationship he has with the staff.

Kindred Cator Park Montessori Pre-school is in a great setting for the kids in the local park. Our daughter has been attending for just over a year and you can see the team has really helped build her confidence and understanding. Communication with the nursery team is very efficient and they are helpful with last minute changes when they come along and show a good level of flexibility. Overall this nursery has been a positive experience for our daughter and us and we look forward to sending our next child there when he's old enough.

I can't speak highly enough of the team at Kindred Cator Park Montessori Pre-school. The manager and staff are nurturing, caring and child centred. My daughter's keyworker consistently spends time with our daughter and thinks about her emotional and intellectual development and provides relevant and interesting activities which she enjoys and is appropriately challenged by. The preschool employs a range of external facilitators for extra activities including Spanish and sports. This week they put on a carol performance and the children were all very engaged with learning the songs. You can tell the staff in my daughter's class love their job and are committed to the children and are very well supported by excellent leadership. Our daughter is happy here and is thriving. I could not recommend the preschool more highly.

I would highly recommend Cator Park Pre-school. My son attended for almost 2 years. He was always excited to go and would happily chat about his day. The teachers and manager are supportive, nurturing and always happy to help. He really flourished under their care. I always knew he would be safe, well cared for and have well planned and stimulating activities.

Amazing pre-school! My son started in January and we can see a difference (compared to an old nursery). He is always learning. Different activities and the staff really care which makes a huge difference. My son used to be a bit on the shy side but not anymore with Kindred Cator Park Montessori Pre-school! Really feel part of the team and made so many friends. I wish we found the place sooner. Definitely recommend it.

Kindred Cator Park is such a productive environment for our daughter whilst also providing love, safety, care and friendship. It is the perfect stepping stone to reception, and our daughter is thriving, learning new skills every day. She has formed a wonderful friendship group, and we see such development each week. Wonderful.

We couldn’t be happier to choose Cator Park Montessori Pre-school for the childcare setting of our two kids. The staff are caring, dedicated and highly qualified, and our kids have been happy there since day one. It’s a nurturing environment that helps our kids grow in confidence and independence whilst fostering curiosity and fun.

Absolutely fabulous nursery setting. Wonderful, caring, gentle staff who have an interest in each child as an individual, and they offer a genuine Montessori setting (most nurseries we viewed only had one Montessori practitioner). It's fairly small, which is great for my child, who had never been away from family, as I was worried he would find it overwhelming. My only small quibble is you have to provide your own packed lunch, but that is a minor inconvenience. I highly recommend this nursery and can't wait to watch my son's progression as he grows.

The pre-school is a nurturing place and my son is loving his time there. The curriculum is well structured based on the Montessori principles. The staff are extremely caring and competent. It's a happy place and is very well managed.

Kindred Cator Park Montessori is a fantastic preschool and I highly recommend it. My son thoroughly enjoys his sessions here. He always have a big smile on his face when he sees the gate. He has gained so much confidence whilst at this preschool. Staff here genuinely care for the children and ensure that each child’s individual needs are fully met. They go above and beyond when offering support. Kindred Cator Park Preschool is very charming and fun place for kids from two years until reception. The staff are lovely and caring. It is a small preschool which feels like home. It is close to a beautiful open land where children can explore. The children are also all lovely. I highly recommend this place if you want your child to part of a small but great preschool. Keep up the good work!

Since the current manager has taken over as manager of Cator Park he has brought it back to being the wonderful Montessori Pre-School that it was known for. The staff in our class are truly wonderful, my daughter loves going in every morning and is welcomed with a warm smile. For me, I choose Cator Park because of its Montessori principles and I'm so pleased that the manager is now at the helm with a strong team of qualified and loving Montessori teachers. Communication each week is fantastic letting us know what all the children have been up to. The children are encouraged to independently learn, play, and ask questions, giving them a great start in life before big school and encouraging that desire to learn.

I am blown away by the dedication and care of the staff at Cator Park pre-school. My daughter has become a part of the family there. She always talks about her teachers in such a fond way. She even says when she grows up she wants to be a teacher now! It’s amazing that she is taking part in yoga, Spanish lessons and sporty stars. We’ve seen her soar to new heights with her communication, motor skills and creativity. We couldn’t be happier!

Amazing, I cannot recommend highly enough. My daughter, who is 2, started when she was 2 years and 2 months. The staff are extremely caring, supportive and professional. The activities are varied and educational.

My daughter absolutely loves this Montessori. The staff are so caring and made my daughter feel accepted and welcome from her first day. They have taught her so much and always send lovely pictures of what she has been learning that week. I am sure her recent development has been down to the child-centred care she receives.

Since day one our little one found a great environment. He settled immediately and he was able to build strong relationships with all the children and teachers, which are all very knowledgeable and kind. Also, the place is nice and cosy and it is located inside the beautiful Cator Park which makes the ideal space for children to grow safely, far from busy roads and with plenty of nature to discover. Thanks to a great variety of activities and children sized events our little one has been growing at lightning speed both mentally and physically, meaning the learnings are having a great impact on his development. Last but not least, our son every morning is happy to go to the nursery, which is something we value a lot. We are very pleased with the school and definitely recommend it.

Staff are, by and large, friendly and caring. There is a good range of activities and the park setting is fresh. Inside is a little run down and there are surprisingly no excursions into the park - just a small garden. Found out about extra charges (£26 per day) at time of invoicing. No breakdown offered but justified as due to the range of activities on offer such as Spanish, baking and yoga.
