My daughter has attended Kinderkare since 9 months old, and is now in the preschool part. My daughter and I have built a lovely rapport with the whole team at Kinderkare. They were extremely helpful when my daughter was diagnosed with a cows milk intolerance. They also helped to transition to potty
training. They have continuously accommodated to mine and my daughter’s needs. Since increasing her hours last year, I have noticed many positive differences in my child’s development. I would, and have recommended KinderKare as a brilliant nursery/ preschool.

Absolutely fantastic setting with amazing staff. The staff feel like an extended family who genuinely care for my daughter, not just a job. My daughter has learnt so much whilst she has attended. She has tried so many new foods which she may never have had at home. I am genuinely really sad that she
has to leave to go to school.

Our eldest daughter attended Kinderkare from 12months until starting school so it was a natural choice for her little sister to go there as well. The staff have been fantastic throughout our time with Kinderkare. It has made going to work so much easier knowing that the girls are safe, happy, engaged
with wonderful activities and most importantly for me - cared for. The girls have loved their time at Kinderkare and it will be a sad day when we have our last day there in August. I would happily recommend Kinderkare.

My son attends nursery full time. The girls are amazing with him and do a fantastic job. Always happy and friendly. Facilities are great and communication is second to none. Always kept up to date on incidents or the progress of the day through phone or tapestry. Brilliant place who I would recommend
to anyone.

From the staff to the facilities to the thought that goes into every meal (with which they’re more than accommodating for any changes or requests), we’re so happy we sent our son here. We’re able to drop him off at the start of the day and know he’s in excellent hands until we collect him 8 hours later.
We love being able to see what he’s been up to through the Tapestry app. He’s learning so much through various activities and interaction with the other children and staff, with whom he has built an excellent rapport, due to how friendly they all are.
On occasions where he may have had a minor accident we’ve been notified immediately and he has been cared for until our arrival, with follow up calls afterwards to check his welfare.
We visited other nurseries before opting to go for this one and we’ve been more than happy with our decision since day one.
We’d have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Kinderkare to other parents and are already sad at the prospect of having to leave!

I have been enormously impressed by the care given to my son whilst at Kinderkare. He is always happy to arrive in the mornings and is greeted in such a friendly way. The staff have been brilliant at adapting to his additional medical needs, for which I am hugely grateful. I can not recommend them enough.

My little boy joined last year and has loved every day! The nursery staff are truly wonderful - they genuinely really do care for the children. They did an amazing job supporting our potty training needs earlier this year. My little girl has now started as well, and again the care and attention she
receives is outstanding.

Lovely friendly staff that are willing to adapt to suit the needs of the children and their working parents. Communication is fantastic. My son doesn't eat cake and chocolate at home and I don't see the need to give this to babies so I would have preferred more savoury foods or fruit but otherwise food
is OK from what I know. Activities are OK but not as much messy/sensory play as others and I would have liked to see more of that. I do really like Kinderkare. I am just being constructive.

Reply from Helen Smith, Area Manager at Kinderkare MCS

Many thanks for taking the time to review our nursery, please do not hesitate to speak to the manager to discuss any of the comments you made further. I am pleased to hear that you like the nursery, we truly appreciate your constructive feedback. With kind regards

My son attended the nursery from 2012-2016; my daughter currently attends. I am consistently impressed by the staff who treat the children with gentleness, sensitivity and humour. They are a collaborative team and the nursery feels like a happy place. The facilities are great - especially the outside
space. There are plenty of 'value added' experiences, especially the brilliant, humorous performances at Christmas and the end of the academic year. When my son started school, his teacher noted that he had been very well prepared for reading - the pre-school staff had been working with experienced primary school teachers to develop their phonics input, which really paid off. This is certainly not at the expense of free play, messy play activities, outdoor activities, structured creative activities etc: my son particularly enjoyed the amount of baking that he was able to do in the preschool room!
My experience of the organisation/administration has been consistently excellent.

I am extremely happy with Kindercare M C S. Both my children attend, the first having been there for 2 years. The rooms are bright and spacious, with colourful walls displaying the children's artwork and creations. Each room has areas dedicated to different types of play, allowing the children to decide
what they want to do, while each day there will an organised special activity. There is easily accessible outside space for each age group and they go outside regularly. The staff are brilliant and know all the children even if they do not work with their age group on a daily basis. It is wonderful to feel I am dropping my children at a place where they feel happy, interested, entertained and comfortable in their surroundings and with the staff.

I have had 2 children in KinderCare over the last 6 years. I could not recommend them highly enough. I have other family members with their children in KinderCare.


We have always found them to be kind and caring to the children, help with developmental stages and offer the best flexibility you will

find with any nursery in Devon. They treat each child as an individual and get to know their likes and strengths and make it an enjoyable experience for the child.


Prices are comparable to other nurseries. The centre is equipped well with learning and fun toys and it is always very clean and safe. The menu is varied and healthy.


It is never easy leaving a child in someone else's care, but KinderCare makes it an experience the child looks forward too.

The manager and her team go over and beyond their duties. Working extremely long hours and accommodating not only the child's needs but parents too. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough as they truly are a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much for all you do for me and my family. Also offering
Holiday Club for my eldest child just makes life a little easy dropping off 2 in one destination.

My daughter started going to this nursery from the age of 2 (she is now 4 years old) after visiting the other nurseries in this local area, we decided this was far more superior in terms of care. All the staff are very qualified and not just that, they all seem to bond with the children extremely well
and make them feel at home. My daughter has flourished in this nursery, she has become very confident thanks to all the staff and even likes eating fruits and vegetables! we still struggle to make her eat these at home.
The staff devote their entire love and attention to these little ones and will help any parent who struggles to cope with the changes at the beginning of the separation like it happened to me.
The manager is such a kind and warm person who can be seen around with the children, and just not in an office unaware of what is going on like I have seen in other nurseries, she can sometimes even be seen changing nappies. Remarkable.

Kinderkare is a wonderful nursery. My daughter has a lovely relationship with all of the staff in her room and they have a great bond. She will happily be handed over at the beginning of the day and whenever I collect her she is busy and content. The activities are varied and interesting and the outdoor
space is very safe.
I have recommended this nursery to friends and would have no hesitation in doing so again in the future.

It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with the nursery staff. They show to be extremely professional, caring and adaptive to our child's needs. We feel assured he is in safe hands, every time he is dropped off at nursery. Our son has become more confident ever since he has been attending Kinderkare.
He can be a challenge at times (particularly at meal times), but I know he is treated well. This review is a genuine account from very grateful and pleased parents. Thank you.

Kinderkare is an amazing nursery, very friendly and approachable staff who would do anything for me and my daughter. The management is very helpful, very supportive and flexible with any extra hours I need.
I am kept very up to date with my daughters progress with regular parents evenings and always
told about her day and any problems that may have happened. They always have a range of activities out throughout the day and I feel like my child is kept stimulated and interested during the day.
I wouldn't want to send my child anywhere else! Well done KinderKare!

We have had our children at the nursery for the last 3 years and we have always had exceptional support from Kinderkare. Our children are always happy and enthusiastic about attending and come home having enjoyed a wide range of activities and experiences.


The staff are always friendly and helpful

and my children adore them. I have seen a continual growth in both my children in all aspects of their development ranging from their emotional and social well-being to the nurturing and development of their academic understanding.


I cannot praise the staff who work there enough for their tireless commitment to the children and parents, no matter how busy they are they will always take the time to talk to me about my children and how they are doing and make me feel welcome. As a parent who has to have my children in full time nursery care I cannot imagine a better, safer or happier environment for my children to be in.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.988)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.988) out of 10 for Kinderkare MCS is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.988 for Kinderkare MCS is calculated as follows: ( (329 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 333 Ratings = 4.988

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kinderkare MCS is based on 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 69 number of registered child places is 13.8, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
