September 11, 2024 at 9:19 pmThe care and attention to every detail here is really breathtaking – and most importantly for me is full of really cheerful kids that adore being there and have lots of enjoyable discovering new things. Incredible to see young kids discovering woodwork and cookery and having so much time in the outdoors exploring and really being part of a community. Absolutely magical!

September 19, 2024 at 6:14 pmAs a full-time working mother, I find this place an absolute gem. He loves going there and you find yourself and your kid building a little bond with the team there. You really sense like they’re great, compassionate and attentive people.
This is the only childcare centre I’ve come across that feed the kids amazingly healthy fresh food – their chef is lovely. The other nurseries feed the kids nuggets and chips, you won’t find any of that here.
At KatieB, the kids would consistently have lots of fulfilling activities to do and look forward to coming back the next day. My son is a typical active boy with lots of energy.

October 13, 2024 at 6:55 amThe team are very welcoming, yet expert and the food is of a very high standard. Fees are extremely reasonable and the care and resources available are outstanding. My son has been in the childcare centre’s care from 18 months old.
He’s now starting school and we’ll miss KTB Kids very much.

October 26, 2024 at 2:16 pmThey are very supportive, accommodating and mindful of all the kids’s need. The daily activities are very thoughtfully planned – my little one took interest in cooking, arts and crafts, outdoor playtime and even learned her numbers and letters in the childcare centre setting. Finally, the quality of the food they serve is outstanding and it is freshly cooked every day. I am very grateful to everyone in KTB kids for all the adore and assistance they have given to my little girl. My little one started going to KTB since she was 10 months; she has grown from a waddling baby to a chatty little girl; all thanks to the lovely team in KTB kids.

November 3, 2024 at 7:36 amI was extremely nervous about my kid going to childcare centre but since him starting, there has not been a moment’s doubt that this was the right place for him. He has come on leaps and bounds and learnt skills he would never have gained at home.
A fantastic team of people who I trust 110%. An absolutely delightful setting for your kid to thrive and grow.

November 25, 2024 at 4:34 pmMy kid has been going to KTB since 2018 and loves it. My kid’s development has come on so vast. The educators are really excellent. The activities are imaginative and great enjoyable. My kid loves the daily (sometimes twice) walks around the local area. My kid has made many friends here and has built some excellent relationships. This is an incredible childcare centre. Really excellent childcare centre.

December 7, 2024 at 1:31 amThey are now in pre-school, and I can see how much they have grown. The team at KTB have helped my kid from counting, writing, going out for daily walks and potty training. They have done more than I thought they would. Highly suggest this childcare centre. My kid has been attending this childcare centre since they were a year old.

February 4, 2025 at 1:51 pmWe have found the team are so attentive and patient with the kids. Our kid looks forward to going to childcare centre every time.
We have seen so many improvements in our kid.
Thank you KatieB. My daughter joined KatieB Kids in April this year.

February 8, 2025 at 2:14 amMy son has attended now since he was 20 months and has just turned 4 and heading off to school in September. He is confident and has been nurtured to be nothing other than who he is which is the best grounding I could ask for. The food is incredible as well, he eats so much better there than at home the little monkey! Don’t let the lack of garden put you off, this has absolutely no impact, my son has better road sense, control when out and loves the outdoors due to the parks they get to visit and the opportunities to playtime and discover the world outside. Team are incredible too – they adore the kids. I can’t suggest this childcare centre enough – the kid takes centre stage and even to the point where they get to choose how their day goes, which park they visit and what activities they do, there is a structure but if they find the kids are really enjoying something they won’t stop to move onto something else, this adaption and fluidity suits kids so well at this stage.

February 26, 2025 at 3:36 pmShe was very shy and didn’t speak much at all since being with the childcare centre her speech has come on leaps and bounds she’s becoming more independent and social. I’m so pleased with my kid’s development since being with the childcare centre.

February 28, 2025 at 10:15 amThe whole team are excellent from the management to the cook. They regularly communicate daily activities and development at pick up, but also via a discovering book app which can be a welcome distraction whilst at work as it has lots of videos of your little one! You have been warned.
They have a excellent range of activities and team who really seem to delight in helping the kids to explore their discovering. I sense they look after the whole kid, and my daughter has made enormous leaps in her development under their care. I often say that their hard work enables my hard work in my job because I can be confident knowing she too cheerful and well cared for all day. That’s all anyone really wants as a parent.
I would absolutely suggest them. My daughter started at KTB Kids when she was 10-months-old and settled in right away.

March 20, 2025 at 1:01 pmHe’s eating more and is a lot more adventurous with different foods. He is a big personality anyway but has managed to become an even bigger personality. He is so cheerful at the end of his day at childcare centre and is extremely comfortable with his childcare centre educators. I sense comfortable leaving him in their care as they tend to his every need. They really do understand kids. My son has been going to KatieB Kids for a couple of months now and has settled in really well.

April 22, 2025 at 5:48 pmOutstanding care for all my kids. All 3 of my kids have been going to this childcare centre. During this pandemic, they have continued to show understanding and assistance to parents. I am looking forward to them returning to normality. Most supportive childcare centre and team.

April 26, 2025 at 2:10 pmKTB has very welcoming team and every kid has a key person who is looking after the kids‘s development. My Son is now about to turn 3 years old and he loves to go to childcare centre. Also, KTB is providing the kids with tasty organic food cooked by a very welcoming team member of the childcare centre. I highly suggest KTB. My Son is going to the childcare centre since he was 8 months old and we are extremely cheerful with the childcare centre and its service.

May 4, 2025 at 2:15 pmA place that has excellent ethics, family values, fresh home-cooked food by a passionate attentive check and team that bring their own journey to the role and pass to the kids – discovering a new language, woodwork, baking, arts and crafts, role playtime and so much more. A place to grow in all areas of physical, mental and emotional development from day one. A healthy secure setting to let your kid flourish. Courses are held for parents to learn about kids’s feelings and how to handle any situation. All round care not just for kids but for parents and the whole family. Overall outstanding, a place of care, adore, nurturing, kindness, understanding and a home from home.

May 15, 2025 at 4:12 amBefore selecting the childcare centre for our little one, we have searched meticulously, asking tons of questions and visiting a few, and I’m so cheerful we signed up with KatieB Kids.
Since the very beginning, we could see how they put an extraordinary amount of effort into the well-being of the kids that attend. Their values of following the kid, respectful attitude and playtime-based activities (with lots and lots of messy playtime and outdoor games) have been exactly what we were looking for and it’s such a joy to see how our 2 and a half years old has been jumping and skipping on the way to the childcare centre every morning.
They also hold regular educator training days and workshops for parents, and their on-site chef is exceptional. Our kid eats things there that we’d never be able to feed her at home so a massive bonus! Our toddler has been attending this childcare centre for about a year now and we are signing our second baby up soon too.

May 21, 2025 at 8:21 pmAs soon as I walked into KTB, I knew I wanted to send my daughter there. It is a small intimate childcare centre with the most incredible team. The food provided is an incredible standard and got my fussy daughter trying new food.
The sleep room was also a big seller with all the kids having cots or cot beds rather than a sheet on the floor like others.
My kid is extremely cheerful there. I think the fact that there is no outside space benefits the kids as they go out on visits to the park or library every day and get to journey new things.
I do suggest KTB to families because they are exceptional with all kids and consistently supportive.
My little one can’t wait to go back to the childcare centre when they reopen. Stay secure. After originally being slightly concerned about sending my daughter to childcare centre, I looked around a number of nurseries and wasn’t cheerful with the large business like the structure of them.

June 6, 2025 at 3:01 pmThey do lots of activities every day to keep the kids busy and make them learn all about crafting and much more.
The team at KTB are consistently supportive, compassionate and cheerful. The childcare centre is consistently spotless (spot on really) and my son really enjoyed the food.
My son learnt a lot at KTB, we have seen improvements day by day as when he started he had only just been diagnosed with a speech delay.
I would suggest this childcare centre to everyone, they supported my son in everything he needed and sometimes even me, his mom. We had the best care possible for our son at KTB.

June 14, 2025 at 3:33 amBoth of my kids have attended KatieB and not only have they loved going they have learned so much too. My daughter is now at school and often talks about childcare centre and loves coming to drop off or pick up her brother whenever she gets the chance. The focus the childcare centre has on care and well-being was a big selling point to us when choosing the childcare centre, and we have seen the positive impact this has had on our kids. The educators at my daughter’s school often comment on her high levels of resilience a trait we attribute to her time at KatieB. The team are all welcoming and well‑informed and have outstanding relationships with the kids and this is evident through their interactions and how keen all the kids are to go in. We couldn’t have asked for more from a childcare centre, we only wish our kids didn’t have to leave to go to school! What a exceptional childcare centre.

June 28, 2025 at 10:29 amShe only attends one day per week but she enjoys it and looks forward to going each week. The team are incredible and very supportive. All members of the team know her by name and even greet her if they bump into her on their park trips on days she doesn’t attend. We have attended a free workshop provided by the childcare centre on emotion coaching and sense the tips we have received are carried out day-to-day within the setting. She gets on very well with her key worker and we are given regular updates about her activities and development. We have definitely seen improvements in her self‑assurance and social skills since attending the childcare centre. We would definitely suggest this childcare centre. Our daughter has been attending KTB kids since I returned to work after maternity leave.
