My daughter loves pre-school and the caring practitioners do such brilliant activities with them. We appreciate being met with a caring attitude and friendly smile each day. It is so reassuring to know she is having fun with her friends. Her older sibling also attends breakfast and after school club
which he enjoys too.

My daughter has been attending Dizzy Ducks since January 2016 and I couldn't recommend the nursery enough. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds on only 2 half day visits a week. She has formed strong bonds with the nursery staff which leaves me happy and confident when leaving her.

What makes DD for me and my daughter is the staff. They are all enthusiastic, knowledgeable and genuinely care about my daughters welfare.


It's hard leaving my daughter to go to work and hasn't got easier with time, however I am 100% comfortable leaving her at nursery.

The true testament of a good childcare establishment is happy children. My children are always happy to go to Dizzy Ducks Buttsbury, and happy when I collect them. Dizzy Ducks Buttsbury provides the benefits of a nursery whilst maintaining the comfort of a small setting.

This is a lovely nursery which has greatly improved since the new manager. The staff are friendly and helpful. My daughter has special needs and staff have put themselves out to help her achieve her potential. She still attends holiday club as she likes to go back to visit the staff.

Its is a place where I always feel comfortable leaving both boys, who are always having fun when I sneak a look. They both settled really quickly and the activities they do vary day by day. Show and tell still seems to be the favourite.

My daughter started at Dizzy Ducks Buttsbury last month and I am extremely happy with how well she has settled in. The staff are all fantastic with her and has taken all the stress for me out of returning to work after maternity leave. She enjoys participating in a wide range of activities and eats
a varied and delicious range of foods (I think she eats better than me these days)! The nursery have exceeded my expectations as far as care for my daughter is concerned and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone else.

Both my children have had a fab time at Dizzy's. Both have very different characters but were encouraged to be themselves with each member of the team really nurturing them to be happy. I like the Buttsbury setting as it's small and homelike and all the children know each other. The staff have always
been excellent and the nursery manager is really approachable and friendly. I've been a Dizzy mum for 8 years and have seen lots of positive changes but always relied on Dizzy's for that home-from-home setting full of fun and genuine care.

I have been extremely happy with this nursery which both my girls have/do attend. It is a smaller setting than other nurseries so you feel they know your child, and you get to know all the staff. Both my girls love attending which means I feel relaxed about leaving them there. One of my daughters has
severe allergies and they have been great at dealing with this.

My son has been attending the nursery 2 days a week since he was 14 months old and he loves it here. He has come on leaps and bounds with his speech and he loves interacting with other children. The staff really care about the children and the parents and it has a real caring family feel about it. My
son is 2 and half now and we wouldn't dream of sending him anywhere else.
Any ideas or opinions you have are listened to and considered and you always receive an answer.
The food is prepared to an extremely high standard and the chefs were trained by a famous chef who helped design the menu ensuring that the children's nutritional needs are being met, there are no chicken nuggets on this menu!!!
Dizzy Ducks is fabulous, it's the best!!!

Our daughter was at Dizzy Ducks, Buttsbury, for almost one year. During that time, she developed from a very shy 3 year old into a very confident and sociable 4 year old. I have no doubt that this has a lot to do with the nursery as the standard of care really is very high indeed. Now at school, she
is really doing well in reading and writing, having had a great start with this in the pre- school at Dizzy Ducks. We will definitely be sending our younger daughter there when she is a bit older as I know that I will not have to worry when she is there.

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.
