About this early years setting

Katey's Nursery & Preschool in Brentford aims to foster a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can thrive and families are supported. The nursery embraces the latest government childcare initiatives, including the phased introduction of increased Early Education Entitlements from April 2024 to September 2025, allowing eligible working families to access up to 30 hours of childcare for children as young as 9 months until school age.

This commitment to supporting families extends to offering flexible use of funding entitlements, stretching hours over 52 weeks rather than the standard 38, to better accommodate parents' needs. The nursery also provides comprehensive information on various government support schemes like Tax-Free Childcare, Universal Credit for Childcare, and grants for students, ensuring parents are well-informed about all available options to make childcare more affordable.

Katey's is dedicated to providing high-quality care that aligns with governmental efforts to boost economic growth by enabling working parents to pursue their careers with greater ease.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have individual plans and targets. As a result, staff are able to focus precisely on what children need to learn. For example, staff use different strategies, such as reading books from home, to help children to engage. At other times, they help children to communicate by singing songs they are familiar with. With the help of outside professionals, staff are able to adapt targets and make changes to the curriculum. This helps children with SEND to achieve well.

Outdoor space

Toddlers are encouraged to put on their own shoes before going outside.

Our son absolutely loves his time at Katey’s Nursery in Brentford! The environment is warm, nurturing, and filled with fun, creative ways for the kids to learn and grow. The love and care he receives from the entire team, especially Leyla, Claudia, and Humaira, have been truly commendable. Their constant encouragement and gentle guidance make a huge difference in our son's development. We’ve noticed remarkable progress in his confidence, skills, and overall happiness. The team’s dedication to every child’s well-being is heartwarming and reassuring. We’re so grateful to have found such an amazing nursery and couldn’t recommend it more highly to other parents! Thank you for making such a positive impact on our son’s early years.

Katey's Nursery is an absolute gem! As a first-time single parent , I were anxious about finding the right environment for my little one, but from the moment i walked through the doors of Katey's Nursery, i knew had found something special. The staff at Katey's Nursery are incredibly warm and caring. They have a genuine love for children and it shows in everything they do. From the daily activities to the nutritious meals, my child has thrived under their care. The staff takes the time to understand each child's individual needs and preferences, which has helped my child settle in quickly and happily. The facilities at Katey's Nursery are top-notch. The rooms are bright, clean, and filled with age-appropriate toys and learning materials. I love that they have both indoor and outdoor play areas, which allows the children to explore and learn in a safe and stimulating environment. Communication with the staff is excellent. I receive daily updates on my child's activities, meals, and naps, which gives me the peace of mind throughout the day. They are always available to answer any questions or concerns I may have, and I appreciate their open-door policy. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the experience at Katey's Nursery. I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful place for my child to learn, grow, and thrive. I would highly recommend Katey's Nursery to any parent looking for high-quality childcare in a nurturing and supportive environment.

What a fantastic nursery—everyone, from the staff to the physical space, is incredibly kind and always goes above and beyond to make my baby feel comfortable. I got a wonderful sense about the nursery right away and knew that taking my child there was the right decision. Daily updates, constant feedback at pick-up, and staff attention to my daughter's requirements are all provided. Everything about Katey's Nursery has been amazing, and I would highly recommend it to everyone I know. Thank you, ladies, for your continuous efforts and unwavering compliance in seeing to it that my daughter is taken care of in any way that may be required.

From the moment we stepped foot into the warm and inviting environment, we knew we had found a special place for our children. The caring and dedicated staff create a nurturing atmosphere that fosters growth, learning, and exploration. Every day, my children come home brimming with excitement, and they cannot wait to go back. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their little ones.

After long searches we felt at home and we found Kateys to be our daughter second home. She is looked after, understood, always cleaned and carried for, the nursery is brand new and my daughter is always looking forward to meet her lovely friends and staff at the Nursery. You can also discuss and needs and any concerns with the branch manager that will even fight with the unfair council traffic wardens that are waiting for 1 a clock when parents come to pick up their kids hoping they will stay over 10 minutes and get a fine issued. Thanks to all the staff and to the branch manager, Miss Layla and Miss Ana that are always kind and smiling.
