Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Staff demonstrate highly successful relationships with parents and external agencies to support inclusion. They provide outstanding support for children whose starting points are lower than typical for their ages, and for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Any gaps in children's learning and development are identified quickly and close rapidly. Adaptations are made to the learning environment, such as creating cosy areas, to meet the needs of children with SEND. Staff are trained to support children's communication skills and adapt routines to support children with SEND, allowing for quieter activities when needed.
Outdoor space
Children enthusiastically get ready to go outside and thoroughly enjoy regular trips to local parks. Older children engage in problem-solving by making an obstacle course with staff.

Sending your child to nursery will always be anxiety inducing, but Monika & the team at Katey's have been wonderful. From my first visit I had a great feeling about the nursery. My daughter started a few weeks ago and absolutely loves it. The team are all very friendly, and my daughter seems very happy there, she's always excited to go and we get wonderful updates at the end of the day. Its lovely seeing how happy the children are there. We would certainly recommend to friends and family.

My child was repeatedly bitten (to the point of bleeding and broken skin), pinched and scratched by another child - for reference, 6 times in a few months. Management did nothing to reassure us that they were keeping our child safe and what they were doing to prevent these incidents. Having spoken to other parents there was a minimum of 15 incidents in the space of 4 months. This nursery charges a premium for their care and as such management treats the children as commodities. I would not recommend this nursery to anyone. We have had to remove her from this establishment as they were telling us that nothing was going to change. This nursery was exceptional for the baby room - the cherries, with miss Chloe and Miss Jo. But as soon as my daughter moved up to the bigger room issues started. Please consider another nursery for your child.

Our son has been going to Katey's for 18 months now. As a first-time parent when he joined, I was naturally anxious at leaving him somewhere 'unfamiliar'. But as he settled into his Plums class so well, I was very quickly made to feel at ease by the wonderful teachers in there. Manager Katie and her whole team are so kind, caring and approachable. Nothing is too much trouble, and they go above and beyond to ensure needs are met. I love seeing the updates on the app, and hearing at hometime about the great experiences children are given. I would have no hesitation in recommending Katey's Hampton Court to anyone looking for a nursery for their child.

My daughter has been at Katey’s for over a year and loves it. We moved back to the U.K. from abroad and Katey’s did an amazing job helping her settle into into a new nursery and new environment. The staff are fantastic and she loves her teaches. She always talks about them and “all the fun activities they have been doing”. She has recent moved up to a new class and everyone worked to make this a totally smooth transition meaning she felt confident and happy to make the change. Would definitely recommend.

Our daughter has just left Katey's, which is bittersweet, as she has had such a wonderful start to her educational journey, which has meant that she is now equipped for school. The staff are second-to-none and the environment is incredibly nurturing. We were kept up-to-date with our daughter's progress through the app, handover at the end of the day and regular parents' evenings. We would not hesitate recommending Katey's.
