Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities make good progress due to considerate staff who meet their needs and work well with other professionals. The nursery receives additional funding for some children, which is spent to directly benefit children to help them progress further. For example, staff have purchased sensory resources to help children to regulate their emotions.

Outdoor space

Opportunities to develop physical skills are plentiful. Children benefit greatly from the outdoor areas. They ride bicycles and move around obstacle courses. Babies pull themselves up on furniture, climb soft-play apparatus and practise crawling.

Our daughter has attended Katie’s since she was 11 months old. The environment and staff are very welcoming. We feel comfortable and confident in leaving our daughter here. Our daughter really enjoys coming to preschool and has made lots of friends over the years she has attended. She is always happy when we collect her and can tell us about her day. We will be sending our son to Katie’s when I return to work.

My son has been going to KKC since he was about 8 months old and absolutely loves it. I cannot thank the staff enough! all the staff are fantastic and go above and beyond for all the children. The daily activities are thoroughly thought about making them exciting and fun for everyone to get involved in. My little girl is due to start in a few weeks & I’m sure she will love it just as much! I highly recommend the nursery to anyone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Brilliant nursery, pre-school and out of school club! Katie's has been consistently excellent over the last 4.5 years my children have attended. My eldest started aged 1 in the baby room and is now 5 and goes to the out of school club, which he loves plus the continuity really helped him settle into school. My younger son started at just 6 months (I had complete peace of mind knowing he would be so well cared for during the day when I had to start a new job) and is now in the toddler room. The staff are fantastic, really attentive, kind and very approachable. The activities are varied and fun while helping the children learn, develop and prepare them for school. Katie's has definitely helped give my children a great start in life.

My son Kruz has only been attending for the last 4 months but he has settled in so well. The staff in the baby room are absolutely fantastic with him. They made the transition for both myself and him so easy as I was so worried about him starting nursery. Constantly get updates on how he's doing, eaten, slept and nappies along with pictures on what he's been up to. Lydia his key worker is just amazing. He loves her very much and they are the best of friends. He was a fussy eater but they accommodated that aswell and since joining KKC eaten so much better. It is a wonderful nursery. Thank you to you all ❤️

My daughter has been going to Katies Kinder Care since September and I wouldn't have her anywhere else! All the staff in the baby room have been amazing helping her settle into nursery. I am always kept up to date with how she is during the day and the staff go above and beyond for her. I love that she is so happy to be at nursery and couldn't thank everyone enough. Would highly recommend.
