The Kindred Mayflower nursery team is passionate about sparking children’s imagination, creativity and curiosity.

This is why here at Kindred Mayflower they use natural and real life resources to enhance children’s imagination through play.

The nursery has five rooms and two outside garden spaces along with a free flow classroom.
Their gardens consist of soft grass play surfacing, built in sand pits, a track to ride bikes and cars and planting areas.

They are all about creating inspiring experiences and environments that are full of awe and wonder for little ones to grow and thrive in.

Staff also understand what it is to be a parent during this magical time and create meaningful
relationships with parents so they never miss an opportunity to share in the joy of each and every one of their child’s developmental and learning moments.

Kindred Mayflower have been wonderful with my son.
The team are so friendly and helpful and have been brilliant at managing his food and playing since we learnt he was celiac.
I love the app for daily updates on food, bathroom trips, activities.
My son loves his friends/teachers and is always happy
when we pick him up at the end of a day which is a great measure of how well he is settled there.

We are really happy with the nursery we chose for our son. The staff are all so friendly and caring which makes it so much easier to leave him. They do lovely activities with him often themed with the time of year or celebrations such as Halloween, Christmas, Mother's Day, world book day etc. The food
they offer is so varied and nutritious and they always say he eats everything so it must be good!
As a first time parent leaving him for the first time was really daunting for me but the staff made the transition so much easier and we couldn't be happier with how well he has settled in. I would definitely recommend the nursery to other parents.

Both my children, ages 2 and 3, have been going to Kindred Mayflower Nursery & Pre-school since September 2022. From the moment my children started with the nursery I saw how happy and engaged they were with all the teachers and the other children. Each member of staff knows each child’s name and always
has the most warming presence, even in the early mornings! Never have I encountered a school or nursery that feels like a second home to us all. My children have come on leaps and bounds since attending. They have helped my oldest child potty train and work on his manners to be a bright and happy child. My children's faces light up when walking into nursery to see their teachers and friends. The staff, to me and my partner, have always been helpful and encouraging of the new learning and developments in my children’s life and are always there when we have questions. We are so glad to have our children attend Mayflower Nursery. A big thank you to all the staff for everything you do for my little family.

My children have attended this nursery for 2 months now and they absolutely love it. All the staff in the baby room are fantastic and my boys love seeing them every week. They are friendly, approachable and extremely caring. They enjoy all weathers outside, arts and crafts and making new friends. I
am so pleased we chose this nursery for our babies.

Kindred Mayflower has been great with my daughter and her settling. She took a while to settle but the staff were always fantastic at comforting her and ensuring she settled. She now goes in and waves bye in the mornings and I pick her up and she’s happy and playing. The staff are always happy to answer
any questions and nothing is ever too much. They are wonderful and my daughter has such a great bond with the teachers. Can’t thank Mayflower enough for the fun she has and the care she’s given. Her key person has been wonderful and I also can’t thank her enough for the care she’s given my daughter and reassurance when she first started. Thank you all.

It's in the moments of awe and wonder that they create that they grow and thrive. Here's to you both enjoying your time going forward with your Kindred family at Mayflower.

Kindred Mayflower is a lovely nursery. All the staff work so hard and ensure that my daughter is well looked after. She absolutely loves coming to nursery everyday. My daughter has built lovely connections with her room teachers and friends. They do lots of different activities daily and updates and

Our son joined the baby room in January 2023 when he was 11 months old. We chose this nursery after finding our initial nursery choice unsatisfactory during the settling period. The staff here were so reassuring and kind and helped our son feel relaxed and safe from day 1 - they kept us up to date with
pictures and a daily schedule on the parent app (great for peace of mind). Everyone made the effort to learn his name, even the office staff, it's a lovely friendly community here. The facilities are great - big, clean rooms with loads of toys, lovey garden spaces (the babies get taken outdoors frequently), delicious healthy homecooked food, a separate baby sleep room and a rota of fun activities - all alongside fantastic care and great communication. We all love Kindred.

We do so feel like all the little ones are our own, and as a result treat them as such. They are your precious little people and it's our job and mission to ensure they are happy and content in our home from home environment. We love our app and the ability it gives us to provide you the day to day information you require to plan you time at home as well to see all the fun moments of awe and wonder they have been up to whilst they grow and thrive. We love all our families too.

Very good nursery, the best I came and visited! My child is very nervous about new places but the staff were so fantastic making sure she settles and communication between parent and teacher is brilliant!
There is an app to ensure that there is good interaction between the nursery and parents daily
so parents can see what they have been doing at nursery via photos/videos/messages. Would highly recommend the nursery. The nursery is fully equipped and are very caring and understanding.

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

Thank you for your kind review and recommendation.
We are your little ones home from home so it is imperative that both they and you are happy whilst they spend time with us. We are child led so will always use their cues to help them and we see all our little ones (and their parents) as part of our Kindred family. We love our app and being able to share all information about your child's day really helps to keep communication flowing. Please don't forget that you can use our app to share what you have been up to whilst not at nursery, we'd love to see that.

Amazing nursery! The new manager at Mayflower has really upped Kindred's game and taken the nursery from great to fantastic. My son can be a very emotional little boy but has settled in so well and literally runs into his classroom every morning that he attends. Great menu, they cater to allergies and
intolerances well (our son is intolerant to dairy), and the children are well-fed and encouraged to try new things each week.
As a first-time mum, I was so apprehensive about the nursery but Kindred has given me so much peace of mind and I truly feel like the staff gives the utmost care to all the littles. My son learned to walk, talk, count and sing all in the last year and I believe that the staff at Kindred have been the motivation behind that. Special mention to five particular members of staff (though all staff have been great!) my son adores them! Highly recommend it, amazing ladies!

All our children are individuals with unique personalities and it is our place at Kindred Mayflower to know each child in order to help them with their nursery journey. We are just one big happy Kindred family here at Mayflower and we love to see our little ones happy, growing and thriving and it's through our activities and helping them to create moments of awe and wonder that we can see them grow and thrive. We love our specially created menu and will pass your comments on to our cook. The highest accolade you could give is that you have peace of mind knowing your little one is happy in our care.

The staff at Kindred Mayflower are fantastic.
I feel happy knowing my child has a lovely day down to the warmness of the staff.
The staff will personally tell you what your child has done that day, and when they mention things my child has said or done that day or their little quirks or funny things
they say, it's reassuring that they really know my child!
My son also loves all the home-cooked food and snacks and is always asking for seconds!
Thanks to everyone for their hard work; it's greatly appreciated.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.469)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.469) out of 10 for Kindred Mayflower 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 11 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 4.924 for Kindred Mayflower Nursery and Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (122 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.924

  • 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 4.545 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred Mayflower Nursery and Pre-school is based on 11 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 101 number of registered child places is 20.2. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.2 = 0.545

  • 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.
