Kindred Little Learners Nursery & Pre-school

Children are happy and whenever we pick up our little one, they are always doing something interesting. The teachers really put a lot of effort to keep children happy, interested and help them to understand and respect different cultures.

Both my children have been here and I’ve never had any issues. Always had complete confidence that my child is safe under their care. Very professional staff who in addition to caring, also focus on the child’s individual developmental needs. Lovely outside space too. No complaints!

My youngest daughter started here in January 2022, we couldn’t be happier with the nursery. The staff are professional and very attentive. My little girl always comes out very happy! I love being able to book extra sessions if needed too.

My son has been attending Kindred Little Learners for the past year and will be transitioning to primary school this September. All staff have been absolutely amazing and supportive, providing a nurturing environment, in which my son has been able to thrive, further his confidence, build positive relationships with his peers and develop his skills and knowledge. I cannot express how sincerely happy I am with all staff, in particular his amazing key worker who is very attentive to his needs. A brilliant setting, which has prepared him for a smooth and positive transition into primary school.

There is little emphasis on learning, our child was hardly encouraged to write their name, the reading is no longer happening as there is no qualified teacher and whilst before our children would always bring cards made by them on any major occasions, now if they don’t want to do that they don’t, which sets a rather poor example in terms of preparation for school and the fact that there will be certain activities that will need to be completed. We found it rather shocking that when quizzed about school preparedness a senior member of staff said that they don’t tend to use the ‘s’ word as some children find it worrying, I am afraid I want my child to be ready for school. The communication is something that definitely needs improving as at the moment apart from generic messages on the app it is poor. Often no comments/photos even when the child is in the focus group. The nursery was supposed to open up to parents again and there was a date announced, sadly this never happened with no explanation.

We love this nursery! My child has been to a couple of different nurseries before this and this one is by far the favourite. Having attended this nursery for a month now, we’ve seen that the teachers are actively engaged with the children, helping them to learn through play. The children are well-fed with nutritious meals and healthy snacks and my daughter comes home excited to tell us about her day. We have already reserved a place for when my baby turns 2!

My little boy has been with Kindred since January 2023. He is two years old and has speech delay.
The progress in him since he has been at the nursery is amazing.
They are kind, patient and caring to my child.
They give updates on naps and progress etc.
Fantastic nursery!

My son has attended Kindred Little Learners since September 2022 (when he was 2 and half years old) and we are really happy with the whole experience. The staff are kind, caring and attentive. The children have regular outdoor time and take part in stimulating indoor activities. Regular progress and feedback is given via the app. The nursery was also very supportive when we potty trained my son shortly after he started attending. Overall, a great nursery – I only wish they had a baby room for my son’s brother!

My son really enjoys his time at nursery. This is his first experience.
The major problem is he has some speech delay and I have no idea how they communicate with him at the nursery. When we visited the nursery for the first time they said to us they give a daily update about him via the app but that is not real. They give general information, but nothing accurate about your child. I don’t know how many nappies they change, if he ate or not, or what. When we pick him up they just say ‘he ate a little’. He’s been there since January and I have only received one picture. They said they prefer spending time with kids than taking pictures and I agree with it, but some information is fundamental for the parents. And it’s not that complicated, they can make a spreadsheet, complete and at the end of the day just put it on the app. So the communication it’s not working.
Apart from that, they have a good space, the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

The lovely room staff and management are all so nurturing and supportive and have done/are doing a tremendous job in supporting our son’s development which is falling behind. The process included getting 3rd party advice and filling out many reports to make sure he’s ready for school next year.
Aside from potty training, he is always encouraged to use cutlery and try various foods. He is always given comfort and cuddles when he needs them.
I highly recommend Kindred Little Learners.
