I am thrilled with the experience my children have had at Kindred! From the moment we enrolled, it was clear that the staff are caring, supportive, and dedicated to the well-being of each child. My son & daughter have thrived in this environment, & I've seen them grow and develop in ways I didn't think
possible at such a young age.


The activities offered are both engaging and educational, keeping the children excited to come every day. Whether it's arts & crafts, outdoor play, or learning through play, the nursery ensures that every day is filled with fun & discovery. The team always takes the time to make sure each child feels valued, & I can see that my kids are not only happy but also confident and curious about the world around them.


The staff go above & beyond to foster a nurturing environment where children feel safe, loved, & respected. I couldn't ask for a better place for my little ones to learn & grow. I'm grateful to the team for their care and dedication!

My daughter has been at the nursery for 18m. She had switched from a different nursery and took a while to settle but the team were incredibly patient with her and after a few months and dealing with some previously undiagnosed health issues she was skipping in. We get lots of updates from the nursery
which is great and they are very diligent at providing regular development feedback which is really lovely. The staff are so warm and welcoming and clearly care a lot about the children they look after. I recommended to a friend who's child also now attends the nursery and is equally happy

Fantastic nursery, we get good feedback and our boy enjoys his time at Kindred Billericay Nursery and Pre-School.
He's encouraged by all the staff in both play and learning.
Regular updates on what he's been up to throughout the day.
Meals, toilet breaks and general info are always up to date.

My little girl started back in August at 9 months and really struggled to settle. The staff were amazing with her and after a few weeks, she was smiling and clapping when we turned up. Thank you to the two ladies who stayed with her all the time in the first few weeks and made sure she was okay. Also
sending me updates throughout the day on the app to put my mind at rest.
Now she goes straight I get a quick wave if I'm lucky and she is off playing.
I have seen a massive development in her speech, she now walks and is comfortable meeting new people and being away from me.
The food she eats is amazing and the app is great for all the updates throughout the day. Nappy changes, when she has napped and videos and pictures of what she has done during the day. Which is normally having a dance party with one lady in particular.
I can't thank the staff enough for all their hard work.

Thank you for your kind review and for both you and your daughter being a part of our Kindred family here at Billericay. We understand that your little one is the most precious thing to you and we know it's so hard to leave them with others. That is why we take your lead on their routines and help them settle with us in their home from home. We love our App and how it allows us to communicate with our parents, showing you what your little one has been up to as well as all the important info on her day. We hope she continues to grow and thrive through the creation of moments of awe and wonder and as many dance parties as we can fit in.

We have three children at Kindred Nursery, and the experience has been amazing. The staff genuinely care and create a wholesome, nurturing environment where our children thrive. The key person has been fantastic for our eldest for three years, and she adores her. All the staff are wonderful, and we're
so grateful for their care!

I've sent both my children to this nursery and my youngest is still there. I can say without exception that the staff at Kindred Buttsbury are excellent, the children are well cared for and the education (and fun!) they receive is exceptional. I can't fault it!

My son has been going to Kindred Billericay Nursery and Pre-School for the past 3 years and my daughter the past year and I always feel at ease when they are there. They both have such a special bond with their key workers and have always been absolutely obsessed and besotted with them. All the workers
show genuine care and love for all the children and do such an amazing job juggling looking after them all and making sure they are having fun but also being able to give the children that need it a cuddle and one on one attention.

Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Billericay Nursery and Pre-School

Thank you for your kind review. It is one of the best accolades that we could be given by a parent when we are able to look after more than one of their children. Thank you for all being a part of our Kindred family here at Billericay. We love what we do and caring for your little ones is our world. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of their early years journey.

Lovely and friendly staff. Very supportive of both my son and of us as a family. My son has built great relationships with his teachers and also staff from the baby room. Would definitely recommend the nursery to other families and will be sending my younger son there next year.

Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Billericay Nursery and Pre-School

Thank you for your kind review and for being a part of our Kindred family at Billericay. Your recommendation means so much and we can't wait to have your son's sibling join us this year. We can't wait to help them both grow and thrive through the creation of moments of awe and wonder.

Kindred Buttsbury is a wonderful nursery. The staff are friendly, warm and clearly love the children they have. My little boy is very happy there and he has bonded with all the staff, not just his key worker. On top of the wonderful staff, the nursery puts on events like Christmas and Halloween parties
that you can attend as a family or just your little one. I couldn't sing their praises high enough.

Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Billericay Nursery and Pre-School

Thank you for your kind review. We see ourselves as one big family and that includes all our children and their families, so thank you for being a part of that. We can't wait to continue to help your little boy grow and thrive through the creation of moments of awe and wonder.

My daughter has been within this nursery for the past 3 months now, and the staff there are amazing.
They have been great with helping her with her eating.
They take time with her and go at her own pace.
The communication is amazing, the app they have shows when she had a nappy change, what she
has eaten and when she has had a sleep.
All staff there are always friendly.
After a full day with my child I am always tired and exhausted when I go to pick her they are calm and not stressed.
Thank you Kindred Nursery.

Thank you for your kind review. It is wonderful to hear that your daughter has settled well with her Kindred family in her home from home. We care about all our little ones as if they were our own and we know that the best way to guide them to develop whilst on their early years journey is to help them to create their own moments of awe and wonder so that they can grow and thrive. We love our app and how it allows us to communicate with our parents. Communication is key and we know you need to have all the information we can provide.

Kindred Billericay has been and is fantastic for both my daughter who is still there and my son who has now gone up to reception. They have both loved their time at Kindred and have always been so excited to go to nursery.
The staff are second to none and both my children speak so fondly of them all.

My 2-year-old daughter attends Kindred Buttsbury and has done so since she was around 8 months old. She loves going to nursery on the days she’s in and can’t wait to see her friends and the lovely staff! They always provide a very detailed handover at the end of the day. Thank you to all at Kindred
Billericay for being so fabulous.

Our little girl has been attending Kindred Billericay Nursery since March 2023 and we couldn’t be happier with how it’s gone. The staff are all lovely, and informative and give the kids such a warm welcome to start the day off. Our little girl has gone from strength to strength with eating, her speech
and her confidence with trying new things. She always comes out with a smile on her face at the end of the day and that makes us as parents feel such much better when we pick her up. Thanks to all the staff for their hard work and dedication.

We have been so lucky to have both our boys spend time at Kindred. Our 5-year-old, who is now at school, absolutely loved his time there and really blossomed under their care. All the staff are warm, and nurturing and show real care for all the children. Our 2-year-old currently attends and adores his
time there each week. His speech and language have progressed so well and he loves all the activities he gets to do. We love getting the observation updates too as they allow us to have a look at his days there. We would definitely recommend Kindred to friends!

Thank you so much for your kind review and recommendation. We love having you all as part of our Kindred Billericay family and we're so happy to be a part of both your boys' early years journey. Having parents send their little ones' younger siblings to us is the best accolade we could have. We love our Satchel App and how it allows us to communicate with our parents for everyday things like food and naps to milestone observations.

Our little girl has attended since January 2024 and we could not feel any more at ease with her being in the care of the staff at Kindred Billericay Day Nursery and Pre-School. They are so loving and attentive, give us such detailed updates of how she is getting on and she really enjoys her time there.
She has learnt so much from them. Her speech has really developed and learning Makaton from the staff has helped so much with her frustrations as she is able to communicate better. So happy we chose this nursery!

Our first daughter went to Kindred Billericay Day Nursery and Pre-School (Buttsbury) from January 2020-2023 and our youngest joined from January 2023 to present and it is a wonderful place.
The staff are amazing, especially her key workers in the baby room and we have been fortunate the girls had
the same key worker - she is brilliant! All of the staff are so kind, caring and incredibly helpful and it was a no-brainer to send our youngest daughter to this nursery. Thank you to all the staff who have been involved and help all babies, toddlers to prepare them all for school. You have helped our children by making them, providing a safe and well-cared-for environment and making it one of the easiest decisions we have made for our girls.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.908)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.908) out of 10 for Kindred Billericay Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.908 for Kindred Billericay Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (316 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 347 Ratings = 4.908

  • 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 Billericay Nursery and Pre-School is based on 29 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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8, which has been reached with 29 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.
