Because they belong, they thrive

Being a Katey’s House child

You know if our nursery is right within seconds of walking in. It’s what you can see: bright, welcoming spaces inviting your child to explore. It’s what you can hear: children talking and laughing. It’s where the early educators are: down at the child’s level, talking to them and listening for their response. Nobody has to tell you. You already know. And your child will know too.

Katey’s House is a family of nurseries that shares the belief that children flourish when they feel they belong. When they have that feeling, they thrive, ready to grow and ready to learn.

Our nurseries

Brentford

Set inside what was The Old National School on the historic Thames towpath, with high ceilings, large airy classrooms and a spacious garden, it gives children room to breathe both inside and out. Near the Grand Union Canal and Watermans park, we’ve transformed historic schoolhouse architecture into warm, welcoming spaces, proving that early learning can be about feeling safe, valued and anchored.

Teddington

Built around a central, light-filled piazza on St Marks Road, Katey’s House Teddington is designed with a warm, communal heart. The piazza serves as our central hub where children gather, while our on-site garden lets them tend their own plants. Children also enjoy daily strolls to Bushy Park and Teddington Lock, with early educators always there to give them the safe harbour they need to build real confidence.

  • We’re open Monday to Friday, from 7.30am to 6pm, 51 weeks of the year, closing only for bank holidays. We welcome children from 3 months to 5 years old.

Hampton Court

Housed in a characterful building with high ceilings and wooden beams on Creek Road, Katey’s House Hampton Court sits minutes from the station, the river and Hampton Court Palace. On our sunny pre-school terrace, children cultivate their own gardens, while regular outings take them past grazing deer and seasonal poppy fields in Bushy Park. Our Cherries baby room is small, calm and cosy, and a close team of early educators get to know every baby’s rhythms, so even our youngest children feel they belong from their very first day.

Ham

Set on Riverside Drive right by the Thames, Katey’s House Ham sits on a secure sports ground in the heart of Ham Lands, with five acres of fields, astroturf and playgrounds and immediate access to the surrounding woodland and Richmond Park. We believe a child cannot feel confident in a big world until they know they are completely safe. From watching cattle at Petersham Meadows to walking the towpath by Ham House, our children venture out into nature as an anchored little crew, knowing they always return to a quiet, cushioned sanctuary where they feel a real sense of belonging.

Kingston

Katey’s House Kingston is our original home: a carefully converted Victorian house on a quiet residential street that sits at the very heart of our story. Moments from the Thames towpath and Canbury Gardens, its home from home layout naturally embodies the cosy warmth every child enjoys. Drop-off here is a gentle transition into our version of a family living room. Whether growing plants on our sunny terrace or taking daily walks into local woodlands, your child is anchored in a tight-knit little crew before confidently stepping onward to whatever life has in store.

  • We’re open Monday to Friday, from 7.30am to 6pm, 51 weeks of the year, closing only for bank holidays. We welcome children from 3 months to 5 years old.

Opening hours & rooms

All of our nurseries are open Monday to Friday, from 7.30am to 6pm, 51 weeks a year, closing only for bank holidays.

Each Katey’s House nursery has three age-appropriate rooms, Cherries, Plums and Apples, thoughtfully designed to provide a warm, nurturing environment as your child grows.

Our promise to families

Four values shape how we work: passion, empathy, ambition and kindness. We hold ourselves to them every day, and we always want to hear how we’re doing.

Our rooms 

Cherries

Brilliant babies

Secure. Curious. Connected. Warm relationships, sensory discovery, movement and those precious first stages of communication.

Plums

Terrific toddlers

Explore. Express. Become independent. Where children go once they’ve found their feet.

Apples

Powerful pre-schoolers

Think. Create. Communicate. Contribute. The last year before school, and the one children look forward to for two years beforehand.

What our parents say

Exceptional nursery! Our little girl is happy to go there every morning and in the last 4 months we have had zero issues at all. Such a fantastic team and they clearly love what they do. For a new nursery this couldn’t be better, the owners really know what they are doing and this sets a very high standard for other nurseries in the area to follow. Many thanks 🙏

My 1yo son is attending Cherries class at Katey's Teddington since he's 7mo and I couldn't be happier with the team. The lead teacher, Andreia and the rest of the team are so passionate, always going that extra mile that makes the difference. The amount and quality of activities they do with the babies is incredible and always creative, perfect for the development of the little ones. They also organise many activities to involve the parents, which is lovely. Andreia and the team are so caring and loving, I couldn't imagine my baby boy in better hands. Highly recommend the team at Cherries in Katey's Teddington!

Ana Trompeta

Amazing nursery, amazing teachers and managers! Our son absolutely loves it. We have changed 3 nurseries, and this one is the best – as soon as you open the door, you enter a magic atmosphere and cannot stop smiling.1) love the flexibility – can drop off at any reasonable time in the morning and pick up earlier if needed (not all nurseries like that)2) keeping parents up to date with the activities though the observations In the app and weekly photo collage3) the most important are kind and caring teachers who do lots of interesting staff with kids – yoga, Spanish, baking, planting, going out to parks and libraries, etc etc

Anna Sokolova

This is a wonderful nursery, lucky to have it so close by. I’m delighted at the progress my daughter has made after just 3 months. The staff are kind and caring and take a genuine interest each and every child. They are so knowledgeable about my daughter and it shines through at handover time at the end of the day. The Manager Alessa is great, very responsive and organised. In the past we have been to nurseries where the staff are great but the management less so. This is not the case at Katey’s in Teddington. Thank you for everything you are doing, and keep up the good work.

I was so nervous as it is my first child, we visited a few nurseries but Katey's in Hampton court was by far the best. I had such a good vibe, they put my mind at rest and made me feel confident. My Daughter loves it now, they are constantly getting the children to interact and learn, they are really friendly and caring. They have always listened to any feedback, and done whatever they can to adapt to my daughters particular needs. I love the fact that they explain what the kids have done during the day and include things like gardening and outings.

Naomi Rahnama

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.
