WELCOME TO
Discover Our
Nursery
At Katey’s Ham, we understand the early years are crucial for growth. That’s why we go beyond the classroom, offering children daily outdoor exploration. Nestled in Ham near the River Thames, our nursery combines indoor learning with outdoor adventure, providing access to five acres of fields, astroturf pitches, and a playground—ideal for safe, nurturing play year-round.
Outdoor play is proven to boost focus, creativity, and problem-solving. Here, children learn through experiences like exploring nature, understanding gravity on climbing frames, or building engineering skills with bug hotels.
Choosing Katey’s means choosing a love for learning, a connection to nature, and skills for life. Enrol today and watch your child thrive.
Funding options
Children from eligible families will be able to access up to 30 hours of Early Education Entitlements.
