Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your concerns and appreciate the opportunity to address them. Our meals continue to be home-cooked by our on-site chef, with menus accredited by a nutritionist, ensuring children receive healthy and nutritious food throughout the day. Regarding staff changes, while some members have left for individual reasons, we have retained many long-serving team members. Additionally, we have successfully recruited new staff, including a Senior Nursery Manager, who have settled in well and are contributing positively. Children are taken on daily trips to parks, including visits to our award-winning Forest School, providing enriching outdoor experiences. We regret that your child felt upset during drop-offs. We encourage parents to share any concerns with us promptly so we can address them immediately. Thank you again for your feedback. We are committed to providing the best care and experience for all children in our setting.

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.429) out of 10 for Kindred Islington Nursery and Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.429 for Kindred Islington Nursery and Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (235 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (14 Poors x 2) + (19 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 322 Ratings = 4.429
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 Kindred Islington Nursery and Pre-school is based on 23 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 78 number of registered child places is 15.6, which has been reached with 23 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.
