Thank you all.
Thank you all.
My twin granddaughters have settled into pre-school very happily. They are supported where necessary and encouraged to participate in a wide variety of activities and experiences, all with a sound learning and development focus. They come home excited about what that have been doing and the fun...
Communication between home and pre-school is excellent, it is wonderful to be able to follow their progress and to see photographs. Staff are warm, friendly and knowledgeable and the setting is well resourced and organised. The girls are growing in confidence and independence which is a joy to see.
Our daughter has had an amazing time here, and her confidence has improved a lot. The staff are brilliant and have built a calm environment, filled with learning, respect and play. I would highly recommend! These guys deliver far more value over other providers in the area.

Thank you so much for your wonderful reviewWe're absolutely delighted to hear how much your daughter has enjoyed her time with us and how her confidence has grown-that's exactly what we hope for every child in our care.

Your kind words about our staff really mean a lot, and your recommendation is truly appreciated.
We always aim to create a true home from home where children feel safe, supported, and valued, and where each day is filled with awe and wonder as they explore, learn, and grow.

My son says "they have nice teas and lunches. And they have nice activities. Aaaand they really have nice teachers there."
As parents we have seen a huge improvement since he joined Cator Park preschool. He has become more confident and independent and you can tell his curiosity is welcome and nurtured in the teaching environment. He is given the space to grow naturally and encouraged without pressure.
I feel like I can talk to the teachers about any concerns I may have without fear of being judged and that I will be listened to and treated with respect.
The only regret is that we didn't join sooner!
We absolutely loved your son's description-"nice teas and lunches" and "nice teachers" is about as honest and heart-warming as it gets! It's wonderful to hear how happy he is coming in each day.
We're also really pleased to hear the positive changes...

We're also really pleased to hear the positive changes you've seen since joining us. Building confidence, independence, and a love of learning in a supportive, pressure-free environment is exactly what we aim for, so it's incredibly rewarding to know this has come through in his experience.
Thank you as well for your kind words about communication with the team. We always want parents to feel heard, respected, and supported, so it means a great deal to know you feel comfortable speaking with us about any concerns.
We strive to create a true home from home where every child feels safe, valued, and encouraged to grow, and where their curiosity is met with awe and wonder each day. It's a pleasure to be part of your son's journey.
Since we moved our eldest son to Cator Park he's thrived and is a transformed young boy. At his previous nursery he'd taken a long time to settle but never enjoyed it, and was often withdrawn and quiet.

Since we moved our eldest son to Cator Park he's thrived and is a transformed young boy. At his previous nursery he'd taken a long time to settle but never enjoyed it, and was often withdrawn and quiet.
At Cator park he settled within days , quickly bonded with his key worker and other teachers and was thriving within weeks. He's never looked back! The small, Montessori setting is excellent with a great range of activities, from cooking to yoga, science and Spanish. The teachers are friendly but firm and the Montessori approach comes through strongly.Having seen the impact on our eldest, we're looking forward to sending our younger son (with a very different personality!) there soon.
Opening hours are shorter than some nurseries and it also closes for school holidays which can be tricky as both my wife and I work full time, but the quality of care and education provided more than make up for this. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Cator park to any parent

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review.We're absolutely delighted to hear how well your eldest son has settled and how much he is thriving with us after his previous experience. It's incredibly rewarding for the team to know that he was able to form strong bonds quickly and grow in confidence so soon after joining-that sense of belonging is so important to us.
We're also really pleased that you value the Montessori approach and the variety of activities on offer, from cooking and yoga to science and Spanish. We believe in giving children rich, hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and encourage independence, so it's wonderful to hear this is being reflected in his development.
It means a great deal that despite this, you still feel so positively about the quality of care and education provided. we very much look forward to welcoming your younger son.
We've had a fantastic experience with Cator Park Montessori. Every member of staff is kind, warm and do all they can to stretch the children. My child is happy attending each day and we appreciate all the ways she has grown in confidence and independence.

Cator Park is a lovely space with welcoming staff and well-thought-out activities for the children to enjoy. The outdoor space is limited but they make the most of it and the backdrop of the park is beautiful. I think many children appreciate the smaller, calm space.

Thank you for your kind review. We love being able to care for all our little ones and to provide them with a home-from-home environment. Thank you for being a part of our Kindred family here at Cator Park.
Both our children have come through Cator Park Montessori and have loved every moment. The staff are brilliant and the kids' development is great also. Highly recommend the nursery who take great pride in their jobs.

We feel so fortunate to have had both our kids at Cator Park Montessori Pre-School. It's been such a wonderfully nurturing environment where they've both thrived and been genuinely happy to go in every day. The staff are amazing- so kind, attentive, and truly dedicated to creating a positive experience for every child. And being right in the heart of such a beautiful park makes it even more special. We've especially loved the variety of activities the nursery offers, from yoga and Spanish classes to science and sports. It's been incredible to see our kids enjoy and learn from such a diverse range of experiences. Thank you, Cator Park Montessori, for everything you've done for our family!
Thank you for your kind review and for being a part of our Kindred family here at Cator Park with both of your children. We strongly believe in being able to offer all our children as many moments of awe and wonder as we can. This empowers them to grow and thrive whilst on their early years journey.
The director of the nursery is so lovely. She's been so accommodating and caring towards our son, whose now so happily settled. You can tell that the staff really care about each individual child and regular updates are given in person and on the app.

Thank you for your kind review. It is wonderful to hear that your son is well-settled with his Kindred family. Thank you all for being a part of that.
I can't speak highly enough of the team at Kindred Cator Park Montessori Pre-school. The manager and staff are nurturing, caring and child centred. My daughter's keyworker consistently spends time with our daughter and thinks about her emotional and intellectual development and provides relevant...
The preschool employs a range of external facilitators for extra activities including Spanish and sports. This week they put on a carol performance and the children were all very engaged with learning the songs. You can tell the staff in my daughter's class love their job and are committed to the children and are very well supported by excellent leadership.
Our daughter is happy here and is thriving. I could not recommend the preschool more highly.
Thank you for your kind review and recommendation. We care for all our little ones as if they were our own and we love to help them grow and thrive through all the activities we put together for them so they can create many moments of awe and wonder.

Communication with the nursery team is very efficient and they are helpful with last minute changes when they come along and show a good level of flexibility. Overall this nursery has been a positive experience for our daughter and us and we look forward to sending our next child there when he's old enough.

My two-year-old son loves his time at this nursery. It's a great setting in the park and the kids can spend lots of time outdoors. The activities, like cooking and science experiments, have really engaged our son fostering his curiosity and development. The staff are all very friendly and our son often talks about them outside of nursery showing what a great relationship he has with the staff.
Thank you for your kind review. We love both our nursery and setting and think we're so lucky to be based in Cator Park. It's our mission at Kindred to help all our little ones grow and thrive through our activities and the creation of moments of awe and wonder.

Thank you for your kind review and recommendation. It's a privilege to have been a part of your son's early year education.

Absolutely fabulous nursery setting. Wonderful, caring, gentle staff who have an interest in each child as an individual, and they offer a genuine Montessori setting (most nurseries we viewed only had one Montessori practitioner). It's fairly small, which is great for my child, who had never been...
My only small quibble is you have to provide your own packed lunch, but that is a minor inconvenience.
I highly recommend this nursery and can't wait to watch my son's progression as he grows.
