Katey's Nursery & Preschool Brentford
from Tamsin M (Mother of Child) published on 27 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Both of my children attend Katey's nursery and my eldest son has been there for just over 2 years now. My youngest has been there for 5 months and both of them absolutely love it there. Since day one we have felt supported by all members of staff. Everyone is just so friendly and kind, it's such a relief

when leaving them there, knowing they are being so cared for and learning while having fun.
The staff have always made time to speak to us about any concerns or issues such as sleep patterns or adjusting to new classrooms. Every day the staff open their arms to my children with big smiles and positive energy, and because of this, my children have no issues running in and they look forward to their days there.
Both of them have shown huge development progress since being there & come home with new words or interests which they have learnt. Having all updates on the app is really useful knowing how much sleep they got and seeing photos of the day. Couldn't be happier with them!

Reply from Alice Thres, Marketing Assistant at Katey's Nursery & Preschool BrentfordHi Tamsin, thank you so much for this wonderful review! It means so much to us when families choose to enrol their younger children with us, we know it demonstrated a huge amount of trust and loyalty and it doesn't go unnoticed. We're pleased to such lovely words about our staff team, we're certainly proud of them! Thank you so much for choosing Katey's for both of your children.

Overall Experience

We are really pleased with Katey's nursery! The new manager is wonderful and our daughter has settled in fantastically into the baby class, the Cherries. This is testament to the excellent settling in process and a warm and caring staff. They do lots of great activities throughout the day including

trips out to the local park.

Overall Experience

My baby has settled in incredibly well into nursery and is so happy at drop off and pick up time. I am kept informed of how my baby is doing throughout the day and receive regular photo updates. The staff seem to have a great bond with the children which is lovely to see and I feel like my baby is very

well taken care of. The facilities are clean, warm and inviting with a lovely array of toys to keep the children entertained. I love that the staff take them on outings to the local park so that they can get some fresh air. Overall I have only great things to say and feel very lucky to have found such a lovely nursery for my baby.

Reply from Alice Thres, Marketing Assistant at Katey's Nursery & Pre-school TeddingtonHi Hannah, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review!

from Nina N (Mother of Child) published on 16 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son started since he was 12 months old. We have had a wonderful experience with the nursery. From the very beginning, the atmosphere has been warm, welcoming and nurturing, and the staff are all incredibly friendly, caring and attentive.

Our son absolutely loves coming to nursery every day! We

are so pleased with his development and progress, he loves exploring new activities, learning through play and enjoys the variety of engaging activities and lots of creativity. We've seen such lovely progress in his communication, independence and social skills. The encouragement of early learning is wonderful, and it's clear how much effort goes into supporting each child's development at their own pace. Our son eats so well at nursery, which says a lot!

There is a real sense of community between staff, children and parents, and we feel incredibly grateful to have such a supportive and loving place for our son.

Reply from Alice Thres, Marketing Assistant at Katey's Nursery & Preschool BrentfordHello Nina, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! This was wonderful to hear, we're particularly pleased you mentioned the sense of community between staff, children, and parents - that's something we ourselves are so proud of, so we're glad it can be seen and felt by our families too!

Overall Experience

We are firm supporters of Katey's House Brentford & happy to share its many positive attributes. Our child has been attending for 2.5 years now, moving through the rooms & always has the best time attending, which is clear to see by the way they greet their key workers in the morning and from the picture

updates, which really puts your mind at ease to know they are happy & safe. We especially love how the children spend time outside & are taken out around the local area to explore! There are well thought out activities to encourage & inspire & our child has built some lovely friendships with other children & staff alike.

We are extremely happy at Katey's House, it really is a home from home environment, the staff members are nurturing, kind & encouraging & communication is very good. We fully recommend this very special nursery & our child has thrived over the time spent here.

Reply from Alice Thres, Marketing Assistant at Katey's Nursery & Preschool BrentfordHello, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! It's wonderful to hear how happy you are with our service - happy and safe children is key, so to know we have your trust in this respect is wonderful to hear.

Review of
Red Bus Nursery & Pre-School - Downend
from Mat S (Father of Child) published on 7 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been going to Red Bus Downend for over a year now and loves her time there. As a parent, I find the staff generally very good; they all seem to love our daughter and are happy to see her every morning. I feel she is safe with them and cared for.
The nursery is pretty expensive compared

to other nurseries in the area, but you get what you pay for, and I feel the location, staff and organisation are professionally managed so somewhat justifies the higher fee.
I can highly recommend the setting for anyone considering Red Bus.

Reply from Alice Thres, Marketing Assistant at Red Bus Nursery & Pre-School - DownendHi Mat, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. It's so important to us that parents feel confident leaving their child in our care, and we're pleased to read that you and your child are happy with Red Bus!

from Antonia B (Mother of Child) published on 18 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We honestly cannot thank the nursery staff enough for the incredible care and support they have given our daughter since she started in August. The progress she has made in such a short time has been absolutely amazing - especially in her speech, confidence, play skills, and general day-to-day development.

Every

member of staff has been nothing short of fantastic. They are kind, patient, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about what they do. From the very beginning, they have supported not only our daughter but us as parents too, keeping us informed, reassured, and involved every step of the way.

It is such a comfort knowing she is in a safe, happy, and stimulating environment where she is truly thriving. We are beyond grateful for everything the team does and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for outstanding care and early education.

Thank you all for everything - you really do make a difference every single day!

Reply from Alice Thres, Marketing Assistant at Katey's Nursery & Preschool BrentfordHello Antonia, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review!

Red Bus Nursery & Pre-School - Coombe Dingle
from Ruby J (Mother of Child) published on 16 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We are having an excellent experience with Red Bus and we couldn't be happier. Our daughter goes to any member of staff at drop off and waves me goodbye. She is regularly offered the potty as this was a big thing for us, we were worried she'd have a regression when starting but the staff have been so

brilliant at respecting our wish for her to go regularly. She has picked up several signs which has helped her communicate with us at home as well as at nursery. When I collect her she always seems really happy and calm. We are provided with updates and photos regularly, she goes to sleep easily at nursery (which has helped her go to sleep easier at home) and she eats really well and seems to love the food.

I can't recommend the nursery enough, we would pay double for the care we receive. The staff knew our daughter by name after her first settle, we are made to feel valued and everything the nursery does exceeds our expectations. I would give 10/10 across every aspect!

Reply from Alice Thres, Marketing Assistant at Red Bus Nursery & Pre-School - Coombe DingleHi Ruby, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review! We're so pleased to hear your daughter (and yourselves!) have settled into nursery life and we're particularly proud of our fab team for providing this level of care. We can't wait to see what the next steps hold in your Red Bus journey!

We are having such a great experience with Red Bus Downend! From day one, we have been feeling that our baby was well looked after, involved in lots of great activities, and always with an attention for his specific needs...and as parents we have felt part of the plan, always involved and heard! A huge

Overall Experience

My little boy joined red bus when our previous nursery sadly closed at short notice, but we have never looked back! Staff at Red Bus are simply amazing :) They always take so much time and care with your child, and my little boy has developed so many amazing skills and developed his communication during

his time there. They are always so attentive and give lovely little updates on the app, and it's never too much to ask any questions or worries. They are so kind and gentle, and as a parent that is so appreciated knowing you are leaving them in safe hands. We cannot praise them enough as a nursery and thank you for all your hard work!

Since my daughter joined Red Bus from another setting at the start of September the team have worked hard to get to know her and aid in her settling to the setting resulting in her coming out of her shell and her looking forward to her days in preschool. A big thank you to Katie and Georgia and the

rest of the preschool team for their hard work and dedication. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Red Bus to friends and family.

Overall Experience

We moved from another nursery where we felt we weren't getting value for money and our child was repeatedly upset at drop offs, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first enquiry we have been so impressed with how efficient, professional and warm the staff at Red Bus have been.

Our key worker has made a point of really getting to know our child, gives detailed handovers at the end of the day and keeps us fully in the loop with regular photo updates. The space is great, it feels safe and fun and although it is purpose built, it doesn't feel clinical. The food is healthy and clearly delicious, the activities are varied and considered, the staff are creative and fun and we couldn't be any happier with our decision to make the move. Thank you Red Bus!

Reply from Alice Thres, Marketing Assistant at Red Bus Nursery & Pre-School - Flax BourtonHi, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We're so pleased that you are happy with your decision to join Red Bus, your kind words truly mean a lot to us.

Overall Experience

All of the staff in the nursery room are amazing but in particular my son's key worker is such a star. I feel like I couldn't have wished for a better key worker for my son's start in nursery. I have a lot of friends with children in different nurseries who have had very mixed experiences, but I have

always felt confident that my son is well cared for and feel incredibly lucky that nursery is not a cause of stress for us, I have the utmost respect and trust in the staff and the nursery as a whole.

Our daughter has been attending Red Bus for the past year and a half, and we couldn't be more grateful for the incredible care and support she's received. The practitioners have been truly exceptional in nurturing her learning and development, helping her grow in confidence and curiosity every single

She absolutely loves going to nursery, and it's easy to see why. The warmth, encouragement, and genuine care from the whole team make Red Bus such a special place. We've seen remarkable progress in her communication skills, independence, and enthusiasm for learning, all thanks to the dedication, patience, and creativity of the staff.

It's clear that every practitioner puts so much thought and heart into making each child feel valued and supported. We are deeply appreciative of everything they do and the positive impact they've had on our daughter's early years.
