We are very happy with our experience at Kindred Hanwell. We have 3 children at the nursery, our eldest having moved from a previous nursery when we moved house. We were nervous but the transition was very smooth and he was comfortable and happy very quickly. All the staff are very friendly and are
fantastic with the children. We feel very confident in the care Kindred provide and can see how much they encourage and support learning and development. We would highly recommend this nursery to anybody!

Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Hanwell Nursery and Pre-school

The staff are very nice, they helped my son to adapt and learn the language, the care is at the highest level. Children learn letters and numbers and spend a lot of time outdoors.
Despite the fact that my son only goes twice a week, I can see what progress he has made, with the English language and
learning songs.
I am very happy that my son attends the Kindred Hanwell and has wonderful teachers and great care.

Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Hanwell Nursery and Pre-school

Thank you for your kind review. The team at Hanwell are so pleased your son is happy and progressing well within the Kindred family. We love a good song and being able to watch little ones thrive whilst in our care.

The staff have gone above and beyond to settle my little one in, even with all the Covid restrictions. She is really enjoying her time and it makes me so happy when she smiles and kisses the teachers goodbye!

My daughter has attended nursery since she was about 14 months and she has loved her time there. The staff have been excellent and think the management they have in there now has improved the running of the nursery. The facilities are excellent, with big classes and great outdoor space. It will be sad
when she leaves to start school in the September. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been attending Kindred since she was 9 months old and at every stage, she has been extremely happy, settled and has made excellent progress in her speech and physical development. The staff who have worked closely with her have been exceptional and go out of their way to form wonderful
relationships with her. The whole nursery feels like a close and caring community - all the staff know my daughter and me and make us feel welcome and valued. More recently, under new management, communication has been exceptional with the introduction of a parent app. The new manager (and a wonderful long-standing deputy) send nursery updates, a variety of home learning opportunities and reminders which are always very much appreciated. Kindred Hanwell seems to have staff wellbeing at the forefront of their priorities by celebrating their success and gratitude for their hard work on a regular basis. It is important to me that the hard work of all the staff is recognised.

Very happy with Kindred, our daughter is so happy to go to nursery every day, doesn't even look back when she walks in and always comes out happy after a fun day of playing! The staff are so attentive, positive and caring. At pick up, they are always happy to give a summary of our daughter's day (how
she slept, what she ate, how she played) and they regularly share photos and updates on the nursery app which is so nice to see. They involve the children (even the one year olds!) in fun things like World Book Day, Children in Need and they do lots of fun activities for things like Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter etc. I would definitely recommend Hanwell Kindred!

My 2 and half year old son has just started at Kindred Hanwell and so far he's had a great time. I was surprised how well he settled in. He absolutely loved the resources and the outdoor garden. The staff are lovely and caring. The food is also great. I’m excited to see his growth and development through
the parent's app.

The staff at Kindred Hanwell are amazing! I was really nervous about sending my daughter initially as she was only six months old when she started but she absolutely loves it. The staff really pay close attention to detail and especially to my daughters development.
I’ve noticed a huge difference
in my daughters confidence. Before she went to nursery she was really nervous of other adults and children as she hadn’t had that time with other people because of the pandemic. Now I see a massive difference and she’s growing more confident by the day - this is definitely down to the amazing staff in baby nest. Thanks so much for everything.

Naturally apprehensive about sending our son to nursery at only 14 months however he couldn't be happier and his development has come on leaps and bounds the last few months thanks to the nursery staff. Quickly became very attached to the staff and we now can't walk past the nursery on days he isn't
going as the disappointment on his face is palpable, says it all.

My 2.5 year old has attended Kindred Hanwell since she was one and we couldn't be happier. The staff (including the management team) are so kind, caring and helpful, and nothing is too much trouble. Our daughter has formed close bonds with the staff and her classmates, she comes home so happy and is
always teaching us new songs or activities she's learnt at nursery and constantly talks about what she's been up to. The facilities are lovely, and the outside space is great for the area. Would definitely recommend.

My son has been attending the nursery for a few months now and he absolutely loves it - so much that I have to bribe him to get him out!
He adores all the staff in his room and they take excellent care of him and are so caring. He immediately warmed up to them and asks for them over the weekend.
He
is constantly learning something new and surprises us with things he says. He has really blossomed at Kindred Hanwell.
The garden area is a brilliant space, very spacious and is my son's favourite place to be.

My 3yr old son has attended Kindred Hanwell nursery since he was 1yrs old and absolutely loves it. He has progressed through 3 rooms and has always settled quickly, bonding well with the room staff and made friends.
He has developed in all areas and grown into a really confident, happy little boy.
The staff are really supportive and caring which has made his nursery experience really positive for both him and myself. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents. Thank you for everything you have done over the last 2 years.

My little girl has been going to Kindred since she was 8 months old and is now almost 3 years old. The nursery staff are fantastic, really caring and supportive. You can tell they all love what they do and that it is more than just a job for them. My little girl loves going there and when she comes
home she’s always excited to tell me about her day and all the wonderful activities she’s done. She has thrived at Kindred and they have really helped in my daughter's development and learning. She has always loved the food there and what they provide is healthy and nutritious. We couldn’t be happier that our daughter attends such a loving environment.

Both of my children have attended Kindred Hanwell, and both have loved it. The staff are kind and caring, and I feel very confident to leave my kids there while I’m at work. The way they have handled the recent Covid situation is really impressive, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery to
other local parents.

My son has just started at Kindred Hanwell Nursery. So far, it has been excellent. I cannot believe how easily he has settled in. I really feel this is due to the staff at Kindred Hanwell. They have been really helpful over the phone and via email to reassure me and my husband, which gives me confidence
in the nursery. One lady has been exceptional, and I am convinced my son is happy and enjoying nursery because of her and the team. Thank you very much, Kindred Hanwell.

Both our children have loved every day they’ve spent at Kindred. My daughter spent 3 years, and flourished. My son is in his second year and has come on in leaps and bounds. The staff and managers are all extremely caring and helpful. We can’t thank everyone at the nursery enough.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.838)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.838) out of 10 for Kindred Hanwell Nursery and Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.838 for Kindred Hanwell Nursery and Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.838

  • 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 Hanwell Nursery and Pre-school is based on 18 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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2, which has been reached with 18 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.
