Kindred Cambridge Day Nursery and Pre-School

This is a small nursery with an extremely friendly feel. Kids have plenty of outdoor time with a sweet little garden for free flow play. There is also plenty of equipment to keep the children well entertained, with different activities offered each day.
The staff are wonderful. They are so kind to the children and work extremely hard to create fun interesting activities for them.
The food is all freshly cooked, and my daughter devours every morsel, refusing to leave before she’s had her tea! The food is healthy, with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Parents are kept well informed daily of the activities the children have participated in via a fantastic app. Regular detailed progress reports re your child’s progress in relation to the early year’s key stages are provided. Parents are also regularly given suggestions on activities to do with children, including various local or online resources available.
This is a wonderful, caring little nursery, which I highly recommend.

We feel so safe sending our daughter to Sunflower Nursery. The staff are so friendly, and I know that they take good care of her. They are also really good at giving us updates during the day (over the app).

We have our children at Sunflower and very happy with their learning and development. Staffs are helpful and friendly. Despite the current situation with the pandemic, they have continued to make it a great place for the kids to develop and a safe place to be in.

The staff at Sunflower Nursery are what make this such a fantastic, caring and happy place for preschool children. They are dedicated to the wellbeing and development of the children, and I have always been beyond happy. I feel very lucky to have found such amazing people to help shape my children. I have always recommended Sunflower Nursery to people in the past, and will definitely continue to do so.

My son adores pretty much every aspect of the nursery, the staff follow him closely and is enthusiastic about his development. The equipment they have is varied and frequently distributed in highly creative ways. The food is also highly varied and the children get to experience world celebrations.

My 2-year-old daughter has been attending this nursery for the past year and we have been really happy with her progress. Staff are very friendly and supportive, my child is happy every day there, there are regular updates, and both children and parents are valued. Different activities every day and more fun on special occasions. It is a shame that outdoor space is limited, but children are encouraged to spend a lot of time outside.

Our son has been attending Kindred in Cambridge for around ten months and our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The staff are all incredibly friendly, caring and fantastic with the children. One thing we have found particularly useful is how the children’s day is logged including their food, sleep and mood, which we have found really helps with maintaining consistency.

Our daughter started at Kindred Cambridge in Sep 2022 at the age of 3 years 3 months, having never been to any childcare setting before. She started on 2 half days per week, and in Jan 2023 increased to 3 half days. She took a few sessions to settle in, but we were given good advice by the staff about how best to handle that, and in general were so happy and impressed with how kind, supportive and welcoming they all were. Every member of staff knew our daughter’s name from day one, so no matter who opened the door on arrival, she always got the warmest welcome. The staff are absolutely professional and on top of everything and I’ve never had any doubt that our daughter is safe and well looked after, and that if she was ever upset, they wouldn’t let that continue without letting us know. Our daughter quickly bonded with her keyworker and now loves her! The atmosphere in the room is warm and friendly and they care about getting to each individual child. They keep us very well informed. Very happy.

Such a lovely small but very personal place. My son who is 1 Year and 4 months started in January and so far he seems to be settling in very well thanks to the lovely care of the staff. He is very attached to me but after just several visits I feel confident leaving him in the nursery. What I really love is the communication: through an app, I am sent regular updates on how my son is getting on, if he is sleeping, eating or playing with pictures as well at times. Really puts my mind at rest which is what every parent wants especially when starting at a new place. The staff is so lovely and always reply quickly. Every day kids seem to be busy with different things and there are always posts about Whats on for that day! So overall it is a lovely place for my little one.

My daughter has been attending here for a couple of years now. She has absolutely thrived at this nursery! The staff are so friendly and lovely. They seem really well-versed in how to support child development. They know each child’s personality and notice every change and development, always giving personal attention to the children. They are great at managing the kids and keeping everyone safe and happy. They provide varied and developmentally useful activities to the children. There are new activities constantly, every season and every event is celebrated. The office staff are also great, friendly and on top of everything. My child’s main carers are genuinely invested in her well-being and cheer her on in her little achievements. The kids seem to love the freshly cooked meals too. My daughter brings home menu suggestions from things she enjoys at nursery. Couldnt have asked for a better nursery!
