Fennies Teddington Supports Local Families With Inspiring Early Years Environments As Quality Childcare Demand Grows
Opening in 2022, the established nursery in Teddington continues to grow its reputation in the local area amongst parents, supported by a strong local network of Fennies settings across Richmond, Twickenham and Whitton.
For families in Teddington, finding childcare that feels both dependable and genuinely enriching is a key part of early parenthood. At Fennies Teddington, Waldegrave Road, that responsibility sits at the heart of everything the team does. Led by Nursery Manager, Kevin, and Deputy Manager, Cristina, the setting has become a trusted part of the local community, supporting families with an environment where children feel confident and ready to learn.
Fennies is a family-founded nursery group with over three decades of experience in the Early Years sector built on the simple belief that every child deserves the best start in life. Starting out as a single setting, Fennies has now grown into a network of over 26 nurseries, and counting, spread across London, Kent, Surrey, Middlesex and Berkshire.
Their Teddington nursery is located on Waldegrave Road, a purpose-built, state-of-the-art space designed with children’s development in mind. Its bright, spacious rooms recently led to a nomination for ‘Best Nursery Environment’ at the 2024 National NMT Awards, recognising the thought and care that has gone into every detail.
It is not just industry recognition that reflects the impact of the setting, parents feel it too. One family shared their experience:
“A fabulous nursery! After trying others in the area, we’ve been here for 5 months and feel it stands out for the care shown to my daughter. The beautiful, light, and spacious building, along with the manager and their excellent team, turn the nursery into a welcoming community where everyone feels important.” Fennies Teddington Parent.
Children aged from three months to five years benefit from carefully designed spaces at their Teddington nursery, supporting each stage of their journey, including:
- One Explorers room, with direct access to a secure, dedicated baby garden
- One Discoverers room that encourages independence
- One Inventors room with free-flow access to the garden
- A dedicated cooking studio for young chefs to explore the culinary world
- A dedicated art studio where budding artists let their imaginations run wild
- A parent space making life that tiny bit easier for busy or commuting parents
- A garden space complete with a Mud Kitchen, Water Feature and Race Track
The outdoor space plays a key role in daily learning. The separate baby garden, connected to the Explorers room, allows the youngest children to explore safely while building early confidence in outdoor environments. For older children, the wider garden offers space to move, discover and engage with the world around them.
Fennies Teddington also offers something distinctive within the local area. A dedicated cooking studio and art studio provide opportunities for children to express themselves in different ways, whether that is experimenting with new ingredients or exploring creativity through colour, texture and design. These state-of-the-art spaces are designed to feel purposeful and inspiring, giving children the chance to follow their interests in a meaningful way.
A key strength of Fennies Teddington is its connection to a wider local network of nurseries across Richmond, Twickenham and Whitton. This close-knit group allows teams to share knowledge, best practice and additional support when needed, creating a strong foundation behind each individual setting. For families, this means reassurance that their child’s experience is backed by a consistent standard of care, as well as access to a broader community that understands the needs of the area.
The curriculum at Fennies Teddington reflects a balance between guided learning and child-led exploration. Practitioners focus on creating experiences that feel engaging and relevant, helping children to build independence along with developing their social skills and their physical skills. Children at the nursery foster a genuine enthusiasm for learning that continues beyond the Early Years.
With its experienced leadership team, carefully designed spaces and a clear focus on each child’s individual journey, Fennies Teddington continues to support families across the area every day.
