Kidz Catterick aims to ignite a spark in every child within a nurturing and inspiring environment, fostering confidence, social skills, and self-awareness. The nursery promotes play-based learning and engaging activities to instil fundamental values, encourage meaningful interactions, and build curiosity about the world.
It is envisioned as a loving community where children, parents, and educators collaborate to inspire creativity, imagination, and exploration for all young learners. Rooted in care, the nursery provides a safe, valued, and empowering space for individual growth, ensuring children thrive in confidence, knowledge, and emotional well-being.
Kidz Catterick is dedicated to providing a high-quality, happy, and secure learning environment that is child and family-focused, welcoming and supporting every individual. The nursery believes in a child-led approach, where exploration, curiosity, and play naturally guide learning, with gentle guidance and thoughtful adult support for problem-solving and building a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
Founded in 2014 by Bill and Julie, Kidz Day Nursery began with the goal of providing high-quality childcare and has expanded into a trusted group of settings, all sharing core values of care, community, and connection.
Our ethos

Areas to develop
Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents of children with SEND say their children are thriving.
Inclusion & environment
Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is a strength of the nursery. Staff attend appropriate training in order to support children who may need additional interventions in order to make progress. They also liaise with specialists when developing individual development plans. Parents of children with SEND say their children are thriving.
Children have daily access to a secure garden, where they dig in the sand, ride tricycles, make potions in the mud kitchen, and play games like hopscotch. However, leaders recognise that the outdoor space is not as stimulating as the indoor rooms, which does not fully support children who prefer to learn outside.
My son has come on massively since being at kidz the staff will go above and beyond for them! And they are so helpful as well. Can’t recommend them enough
Read on GoogleNot recommended. This nursery is ALL about money and not your child. They have some amazing staff (i respect that) but the owners are all about their own pockets. They send invoices within 20 seconds after you drop your child off. They are focused on money and didnt follow the basic diet needs of.my child (who cant tolerate dairy) despite me telling them this numerous times. The newest manager (Carly) is a credit to this business.The owners are not and neither is the female who demanded payment and threatened to cancel my sons place if i did not pay that day (depite the £700 already paid as a working person) I can only hope no one else is treated the way i was. The nursery have claimed money when my son wasnt even attending as they stopped him going in due to me saying i will pay the remaining invoice on payday they then attempted to charge me for the nursery he wasnt even attending for 6 weeks.
