Thank you for your kind review.
We miss all our pre-schoolers when they grow and must leave us however, this next big adventure to big school is what we've been building towards in giving them the best possible foundation in early years that we can. It is our mission for all our little ones to create as many moments of awe and wonder as they can to inspire their imaginations, grow and thrive. It is such a privilege to be part of this key stage and help them develop into the individuals that they are.

It is wonderful to hear that your daughter is happy and settled with us and that you can see her development. We are one big family, and we treat the little ones as if they are our own. We help them develop by ensuring their individual needs are met and their personalities explored in the activities they do and the moments of awe and wonder they create in order for them to grow and thrive. We look forward to spending more time with her in her home from home.

We love what we do, and we're pleased you do too. All our little ones have their own personalities, and we're just one big happy family who cares for each other. Our children are our mission, so it's from knowing them as individuals that gives us the ability to help them to develop, grow and thrive. We shall pass your compliments on to the chef.

It's amazing to see our little ones come on in leaps and bounds with their development, and we are here to help them all with this by encouraging them to create moments of awe and wonder so that they can expand their imaginations, creativity and curiosities. We find our app helps us share what the little people have been up to whilst in our home-from-home care, so we don't miss things at pick up. We love our nutritious menus and will pass on your comments to our chef.

We are one happy family here at Sunnyfields, and we treat the little ones as if they were our own. We encourage development through play, but we also try to instil values and manners. Our mission is to help our little ones to create as many moments of awe and wonder as possible so that they may grow and thrive. We love being social butterflies, so we will continue to hold social events so that all can be involved, and we will endeavour to work on ensuring that there are more photos and updates through the app.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.815) out of 10 for Kindred Shortlands 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.815 for Kindred Shortlands Nursery and Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.815
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 Shortlands Nursery and Pre-school is based on 12 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 12 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager
Hello, my name is Lisa, and I am the Nursery Manager at Kindred Shortlands. I have been working in the Early Years since 2001 and have worked at this nursery since 2013 where I started as the Deputy Manager before becoming Manager in 2016. I hold a Level 3 Diploma & NVQ in Early Years Care and Education and both a Level 3 & 5 in Management and Leadership.
I have a real passion for Early Years and the importance of creating an environment where the children are happy, confident, thriving and inspired through ‘awe and wonder’ while also creating strong parent partnerships where a parent/carer feels part of their child’s journey with us and are confident leaving their children.
Also important to me and alongside my staff team is creating a homely feel for the children and their families as well as a working environment for the staff team where all are welcomed to be their individual selves and are encouraged and supported to achieve their career goals.
