Review from Susan G (Grandmother of Child) published on 17 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 that they have had.

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.

Review from Jack O (Father of Child) published on 17 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Cator Park Montessori Pre-school
Thank you so much for such a lovely review.
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...

Review from P W (Father of Child) published on 17 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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 At his previous nursery he'd taken a long time to settle but never enjoyed it, and was often withdrawn and quiet.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

Absolutely fabulous nursery. The director is wonderful and she is so thoughtful and accommodating. My son has developed a strong and positive bond with the staff, and their updates on his progress are extremely detailed and thoughtful. I am so grateful to have found this nursery. Most of the parents have joined following disappointing experiences at other nurseries, and are extremely happy with this nursery. You're lucky if you get a place here!

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.

Overall Experience

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!

Overall Experience
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 and interesting activities which she enjoys and is appropriately challenged by.
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.

Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Cator Park Montessori Pre-school

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.

Kindred Cator Park Montessori Pre-school is in a great setting for the kids in the local park. Our daughter has been attending for just over a year and you can see the team has really helped build her confidence and understanding.

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.

I would highly recommend Cator Park Pre-school. My son attended for almost 2 years. He was always excited to go and would happily chat about his day. The teachers and manager are supportive, nurturing and always happy to help. He really flourished under their care. I always knew he would be safe, well cared for and have well planned and stimulating activities.

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

Amazing pre-school! My son started in January and we can see a difference (compared to an old nursery). He is always learning. Different activities and the staff really care which makes a huge difference.
My son used to be a bit on the shy side but not anymore with Kindred Cator Park Montessori Pre-school! Really feel part of the team and made so many friends.
I wish we found the place sooner.

Definitely recommend it.

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 away from family, as I was worried he would find it overwhelming.
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.

Overall Experience

Kindred Cator Park Montessori is a fantastic preschool and I highly recommend it. My son thoroughly enjoys his sessions here. He always have a big smile on his face when he sees the gate. He has gained so much confidence whilst at this preschool. Staff here genuinely care for the children and ensure that each child’s individual needs are fully met. They go above and beyond when offering support.

Kindred Cator Park Preschool is very charming and fun place for kids from two years until reception. The staff are lovely and caring. It is a small preschool which feels like home. It is close to a beautiful open land where children can explore. The children are also all lovely. I highly recommend this place if you want your child to part of a small but great preschool.

Keep up the good work!
