Why Choose Us

Discover Our

Nursery


At Katey’s Nursery & Pre-School, we offer a lively, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children up to age 5. Our primary focus is to ensure that every child feels happy, supported, and valued while developing their physical, intellectual, emotional, and social skills. Guided by our dedicated and professional team, children are encouraged to explore, grow, and thrive in a safe and caring atmosphere. We are committed to fostering each child’s unique potential during these crucial early years.

We follow a thoughtfully designed curriculum with adaptive learning tailored to each child’s unique needs, based on the seven areas of learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage framework. Our activities are inspired by the children’s interests and organised around engaging themes throughout the year, with regular evaluations to track progress.

We believe in the power of outdoor learning, as it promotes physical development, helping children build motor skills and stay active. It also supports cognitive growth by encouraging exploration, creativity, and problem-solving in a natural environment. Additionally, outdoor play fosters social interaction and emotional resilience as children learn to cooperate and navigate challenges with their peers.

Why choose

KATEY’S


We work for and with parents to provide the safest, and most stimulating and loving environment possible for your child.  Our staff in Katey’s are with us due to their outstanding passion for childcare and education and for their professionalism and commitment to the children they care for. The unique small environment of our nursery, coupled with high staff levels, ensures  every child gets the one-on-one attention they deserve, and that will give them the confidence to move onto their next developmental stage in life with ease and surety.

Staff at several of the local schools our children go onto, comment they can always tell a child from Kateys because of their confidence, and how well prepared they are for school. We like to think that when your child leaves us, they go onto any school or setting you choose, and are fully prepared and happy within themselves.

We would welcome the opportunity to talk with you personally about your child and to show you around our lovely nursery.

Nutrition

We have our own dedicated in-house Chef based in Ham, Carlos de Oliveira. Everyday Carlos prepares exceptional, nutritious, and delicious dishes for the children. Our meals are balanced, interesting and always enjoyed enthusiastically by children and staff alike. Our staff, many of whom are passionate foodies themselves, eat the same dishes alongside the children at every mealtime. Their only complaint ever being, that we are ruining their diets as the food is too good!
