I am so happy with my youngest daughter's development here at Kindred Waltham Abbey. She has really come out of her shell, and her range of vocabulary has expanded so much! My 11-year-old used to attend here, the continuation of standards is exceptional! It's been nice to see that over 10 years later,
I still know the staff members. The staff are so kind and compassionate about what they do. I do not worry when I drop her off, the app gives me an overview of her basic needs being met. My daughter always eats well here even having seconds at times which lets me know the food is good as she is usually a fussy eater.

Thank you so much for your kind review and for continuing to be a part of our family at Kindred Waltham Abbey. It's one of the best accolades to have a younger sibling join us. We love what we do and it's our mission to help all our little ones to grow and thrive through the creation of moments of awe and wonder. We also love our app as it allows us to communicate with our parents all the important information ensuring nothing is missed in person at pick up. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your daughter's early years journey.

My son has been attending Kindred for 16 months now and we can't be happier with the care he receives. The staff are professional and show great care and affection for the children. The passion for their jobs shines through which is transmittable on the children. My son loves going to nursery and is
always happy at drop off. The activities and play is always very creative which engages the children and allows them to develop and grow.

I have been using the nursery for nearly 5 years for both of my children and I cannot recommend here enough! Both of my children have loved attending and my daughter even 3 years after leaving still says how much she loved it and wishes she was still there. The staff are amazing and so supportive, nothing
is ever too much trouble to them to help with or listen. My son has had a few difficulties and all the staff have been amazing and helped me or pointed me in the right direction to help him in the best way. I cannot praise the staff enough and I'm actually dreading when my son leaves that I won't be a part of this special place any more.

Our little boy has been at Kindred since 2021 and we couldn't be more pleased with how he has developed, his care has been amazing and we can't thank all the staff enough for everything they have done for him. He runs in every morning and big smiles when we comes home, it is like a big happy family,
he will miss Kindred when he goes to school next year and he has simply had the best possible start thanks to all the love care and attention shown by all staff.

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

My son has been attending this lovely nursery for over a year. He is safe, happy and extremely well cared for. We had a very in-depth tour of the nursery and was introduced to all staff who were all extremely happy. All staff who I deal with at pick up and drop off are friendly and aware of my son and
aware of his daily activities and how his well-being has been throughout the day. There is a varied menu for the children which is also updated on the app daily so I am aware of what my son has eaten throughout the day. The app is a fantastic resource that the Nursery use. This is a fast and interactive way to keep the parents updated. I also receive weekly observations, I am aware of where my child is with his development and the expectations of the nursery and also the next steps in order to support him for the future. My son thoroughly enjoyed going to Nursery and I am extremely happy with his progression and development over the past year. I couldn't recommend this Nursery enough.

Reply from Emma Avery, Marketing Assistant at Kindred Waltham Abbey Nursery and Pre-School

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.400)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.400) out of 10 for Kindred Waltham Abbey Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 7 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 5.000 for Kindred Waltham Abbey Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 5

  • 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 4.4 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred Waltham Abbey Nursery and Pre-School is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 50 number of registered child places is 10. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.7

  • 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.
