Nestled within the grounds of Kingsteignton Primary School, hdc Kingsteignton Nursery has a modern, home-from-home feel, with access to incredible outdoor spaces promoting an active lifestyle.
The nursery's facilities are specifically designed to recognise the needs of all children at the nursery. Your little one will be cared for, loved, and nurtured throughout their time at Kingsteignton nursery, with a focus on maximising learning opportunities through various activities.
In the Orchard, for the youngest children, the team provide a relaxing and stimulating space, where the children have easy access to the garden, and can participate in outdoor play. This is highly encouraged at the nursery, to further support development and offer an active approach to learning.
The Meadow Room, which is for toddlers, is equipped with a large variety of resources and natural objects to encourage your child's curiosity. Within this room, children have space to explore and imitate the world around them as they become more physically able.
In the Forest Room, for Pre-School, children will experience a mix of child-led and adult-led activities. This room provides great benefit to children's development, such as: increased motivation and concentration, problem solving, resilience and self-regulation skills. Outside the Pre-School has a huge outdoor mud kitchen, which the children love to play, pretending to make potions and bake delicious treats.
The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.
Helping children prepare for school is an important part of a child's first five years. At the nursery, rest assured that your child will leave feeling ready and prepared for the next steps in this important journey.
hdc Kingsteignton has a Review Score of 9.8 (9.773) out of 10, based on 13 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time hdc Kingsteignton has 39 reviews.

Overall Experience
Our little girl has been going here for nearly two years and absolutely loves it. The staff are immense and is definitely a safe environment for little ones to grow their minds and have fun too. Our little boy is only 6 weeks old and we've already put him on the list to go here in February 2024.

Our little girl loves it here, all the kids seem very happy when we are there, the staff are great and nothing is too much trouble, always able to call or email about anything. Get lots of feedback and updates on learning and progress! Lots of activities like cooking, planting etc, lots of different foods introduced at nursery. Opening times are great and would highly recommend this nursery.

Was a great nursery in the past worthy of five stars, the past 6+ months more like 1-3 stars as we've had some issues regarding rising fees and the lowering quality of the service, hygiene/cleanliness seems to be falling, unacceptable staffing ratios, child coming home with unknown injuries and generally poor communication. The floor staff are fantastic and try their hardest to provide fantastic attentive care. Unfortunately, some days there have not been enough of them to safely do this. We are also sad to see some staff have left/leaving however we can fully understand in light of the above why and wish them the best in their new jobs.
Hopefully, the above problems are just temporary and they will improve again in future. Especially considering the £7 a day price increase.

Thank you for your review, we appreciate it! We know how important each and every individual within the nursery is to you and your children. As a result, we have significantly invested in our teams this year and continue to enhance their salary and wider benefits. With all of this in mind, we have had to increase our fees this year. If you would like to discuss this further, please do let us know, and we will be more than happy to give you a call. Unfortunately, as with many sectors across the country, Early Years has been affected in the last 12 months by severe staff shortages. We are working hard to ensure that we have well qualified and experienced staff at all of our sites so that we are able to continue providing high quality childcare. Thank you for your additional comments on the nursery's interior- we will ensure this is passed onto the team.
Thank you again for your comments!

The team always give us a run down on how her day has been when we collect her. The app is very useful, allowing us to keep up with what she's eaten/done during the day.
Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending nursery and would have no problem recommending HDC to anyone.

Both my boys have attended hdc Kingsteignton and I have always been very impressed with the communication between staff and ourselves as parents. When my eldest was there he had issues with his knee and walking and after he had his operation they were fantastic and kept us informed if he was struggling. My youngest had to have eye drops after an eye operation and they did everything perfectly, the procedure, paperwork and ensuring the eye drops were back in the bag ready for collection. Due to Covid-19 I have not been in the nursery since my little ones settling in sessions, as drop off and pick up are outside. I would recommend this nursery. My boys faces when they are leaving would confirm this.

My little boy has been going to the nursery since the first week it opened and I have seen it from being very quiet to the busy thriving setting it is now. My little one is now in the preschool room and loves it. He skips in happily every day and the staff who look after him are amazing. There is a real ethos of child led learning, where the preschoolers are able to choose the activities to suit their interests. I am happy that he enjoys it there and cannot fault the team at all.
