Kindred Rayleigh's wonderful nursery, situated in the heart of Rayleigh, is a warm and welcoming environment where the staff are passionate about encouraging imagination, creativity and curiosity, making sure there is wonder in every moment.

During their time at the nursery, children are encouraged to explore and play in a way that promotes independent thinking and confidence, aiming to inspire them to love learning, now and for the rest of their lives. This is facilitated by the impressively large outdoor spaces, mud kitchens, vegetable patches and Forest areas - which is the nursery's pride and joy!

It is not just the little ones who Kindred encourage to be passionate, life long learners. The team of incredible staff aim to continuously grow and develop, taking part in training programmes run by childcare and EYFS experts. They are the heart of the Kindred family and what makes the nursery the wonderful place it is. They are dedicated to providing the best experience for both children and families, giving you the peace of mind that your child is given the best possible start.

Kindred Rayleigh is located in the heart of Rayleigh in a beautifully converted, detached Victorian house, with its own private car park.

My little boy started here is May 2024 and we were super nervous as first time parents. However, those nerves soon went away once we met the amazing staff and saw how well our little boy was doing. The staff send us as many photos and notifications as we would like throughout the day. They do so many
activities, I couldn't list them all making sure he is always tired out but always smiling. He gets to go out into the garden, sensory play and so much more. The whole team in the baby room are incredible, they treat our little boy as if he was their own and he always so happy to go to them every morning. The staff, four members in particular, we couldn't thank them enough for all their help and love towards our son. If we ever have any issues, the ladies at the front office can always help and welcome us with a smile every morning. The quality and variety of food offered always amazes me and my son is a big fan off the chefs cooking skills. Overall 10/10 nursery.

We have two children at Kindred and could not speak higher of the quality of care that they both receive. They both absolutely love going in, they have so much fun, and the days are always so varied and carefully thought out. Would recommend it to any parent looking for a great place to send their children
to, best compliment we can give is that you drop your children off and you don't worry about them at all because of how well they are looked after.

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

Thank you for your kind review and recommendation. You are correct with your statement about that being the best complement.

All of my children have attended this nursery purely on the fact the staff and setting are amazing. Each member of staff is a credit to this nursery and know my children are happy and safe in the setting. The garden is perfect and love that the children spend lots of time outside. My children love the
meals they have, and they have a good variety as well as healthy snacks throughout the day.

Very happy with the nursery. Each and every worker we have come into contact with has been fantastic. Our child has moved to a new room, and it has been seamless. We especially love all the updates that we get via the app. It's so wonderful to see what our little boy gets up to during the day. Whenever
we made any request i.e. what time he could nap, we are always listened to. Really can't fault the staff - they are excellent.

Excellent nursery that always strives for the best for our children.
Well staff/teachers that we have interacted with genuinely care for the children and provide a good overview of their day.
The app they use is really helpful for checking in and reviewing their eating/sleeping habits throughout
their day and provides much-needed comfort when at work.
Highly recommend!

My baby started Nursey at Rayleigh Kindred in the babies room. I was extremely apprehensive and worried about him starting. All I can say is that the staff have all been absolutely wonderful, I can tell that they really care for my little boy. He now gets very excited when we arrive at Nursey, I can
tell he has a great day and often wonder what he is missing out on during his day off. Thank you to all the amazing staff.

My daughter has recently started in the baby room and I am so pleased with how she has settled. Although she finds it difficult to go in, the staff are very quick to respond to my messages or to message us and let us know that she has settled down. I know that she will eventually get used to attending
and I’m so grateful for the care she receives on Monday when she is in. It’s so lovely to see the photos that are shared so that I can see what fun she gets up to. I was anxious at first being a parent that has worked in nurseries before, but from day one of my daughter attending I felt at ease and knew she would be happy there. Thank you so much for everything so far, I can’t wait to watch her grow and make special friendships with other children as well as connections with the staff at Kindred. I am so happy with the food as well I know that she enjoys exploring all the new different tastes and textures that have been introduced to her too especially ones she’s not tried before at home.

We were initially apprehensive about sending our 18-month-old to nursery. He's naturally shy and clings to us at home, earning the nickname 'our little koala.' However, the staff at Kindred Rayleigh have been incredible! They've patiently encouraged him to explore and socialise at his own pace. With
just two half-days a week, the change in him has been remarkable. He plays with other children, feeds himself, and is visibly happier. Thank you all for making his transition so smooth.

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

My child is so shy, however, after a little while she settled into nursery and loves it so much. She is so excited to go and is constantly asking about the teachers, which is such a credit to them as she’s incredibly nervous around people she isn’t comfortable with. I’m always given feedback that she
is so bubbly and chatty, which means I know she’s comfortable!

My daughter started Kindred in March 2024 and I was so nervous but I didn’t need to be at all. They were so welcoming and really took the time to get to know me and my daughter. They always keep me updated with her day and how she’s getting on. I’m so happy she started here after a not-so-happy start
with a childminder. I can see that my daughter is getting more confident and learning so many new skills. Couldn’t be happier!

Couldn't be happier with the service the nursery provides. The nursery is well managed and the children well looked after.
It can't be faulted.
The nursery has an app for all parents to access, this allows you to see your child's daily activities and interactions when they ate, slept, had a nappy
change, had medicine etc.

I genuinely cannot fault the staff or setting and wouldn't hesitate recommending.
I was incredibly anxious putting my 9-month-old into nursery but the staff couldn't do more to ease my worries; sending regular updates (with plenty of detail), photos and answering any questions I had.
They have gone
above and beyond to help my child reach milestones which were raised as a concern in a health check and they did this without hesitation. Not only do they continue to assist with further milestones, they evidence this too and are so enthusiastic when these are met.
Friendly, caring, happy, enthusiastic, empathetic are just a few words I would use to describe the staff and they are the reason I can go to work and focus on my job as opposed to worrying about my child.
The fact my child always goes into nursery with a smile on their face quite frankly says it all!

Kindred Rayleigh Nursery and Pre-school has been a godsend to me as a first-time mum.
They have helped me navigate being a parent and providing advice when asked on how to deal with the terrible twos or any challenge.
My son has loved both the baby room and his current room, he almost runs in and
has the best day every day.
They play, explore, fun in the garden and it has helped his speech and also his interaction with other children.
I always recommend them to anyone looking.
My son is well-fed, he enjoys all of his meals and I'm sometimes jealous when I read what they get each week! It's just great on every level.

We have had a very good experience with this nursery. For our daughter who has been with them for over a year now. Our daughter has shown amazing achievements and social skills. She loves going to the nursery and there has hardly been any fuss at drop off and she seems well settled when we get her back.
The nursery staff also give us regular updates while she is at the nursery. The nursery as such is also a well-maintained place with a beautiful and large back garden.

Our son has thrived since going to nursery, despite this being for only a couple of days a week. His speech has come on massively and he is always happy upon drop off, comfortable around staff and able to go to the activities set up for the day, with a great outdoor area for the children to play in.
If
we have ever had to get in touch with the nursery about anything, it has always been handled professionally and we have been kept updated at all times. If anyone was to look for nursery recommendations, we would certainly recommend Kindred Rayleigh Nursery and Pre-school and continue to speak highly of this nursery.

Our son has been going to Kindred for almost a year now and we feel very fortunate to have found it.
The staff are beyond fantastic – genuinely loving and caring towards the children, it’s so good to know your child is in the best hands while you are at work. The kids are always doing fun activities
and are kept really busy. Our son's routine is well respected, communication and feedback is great.
Our son runs in the door now in the mornings and is so happy and confident – and we have no doubt this is in part due to the supportive environment they provide.
We would be quick to recommend Kindred Rayleigh to anyone looking for a caring, supportive, educational environment for their child.

My son has recently started nursery and so far I am enjoying the experience. I was weary, at first, thinking he wasn't ready but every day he's been coming home with a smile on his face and maybe a new nursery rhyme or two he's learnt. The staff have been very friendly and good at putting my mind at
ease about how he's doing. Cannot complain so far. The food he's eating is good and is helping mix up his palate. He seems to be loving the outside space (lovely big garden) and, as an only child, the social aspect for him has been lovely. His speech has come on leaps and bounds since he has been attending. Overall very good experience and would highly recommend.

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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 19 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.

Abby Buckley

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2009

Hello, I'm Abby and I have worked with children since 2009.


I qualified as a Level 3 when I was 17 having started as an apprentice. I progressed further in my career into a Room Leader role and was then honoured to step into management as the Deputy Manager where I strive to achieve the best for all our families.


I love working alongside parents and carers and making them feel comfortable leaving their most precious child with us. I absolutely love being a part of each child's journey and watching them grow and develop over their time spent with us. It never gets any easier saying goodbye when they start their new adventure at a big school.


Kindred continuously offer training opportunities to support my progression to achieve being the best I can be. I am now a mummy myself, and my little girl joins me in the Kindred family.

Jodie Openshaw

Job Title: Deputy Nursery Manager

Joined: 2017

Hello, I'm Jodie and I have been working at Kindred Rayleigh for almost 7 years. I am passionate about Early Years Education, and this is the inspiration for me achieving my BA (Hons) in Early Years Education.


I have completed lots of other courses to further myself and provide our children with the best early years experience, some of which include Paediatric First Aid, Safeguarding, Safer Recruitment, Makaton, and Forest School Leader.


I believe a child's early years are the initial embers that spark a lifelong passion for learning. It's my privilege to share this time with both the children and our team every day.
