We have been so blessed by this preschool setting. The environment is so family-like, with real care and nurturing for the children as individuals. It's real, person-centred care for the child. They don't just 'look after' the children but care for them and their specific needs, bringing out and nurturing
their own personal interests. We are a Christian family and since day one they have been so inclusive of our faith, understanding of our preferences due to our faith and even encouraging!
They have really cared for this very important part of my son's life. With parents they really stand out by the way they get us involved, inviting us in regularly, updating us consistently on our child's development and learning, and amazing activities they provide daily. They make us feel part of our child's journey at preschool. The staff are so welcoming, warm and genuine. From the manager all the way through the nursery staff to the chef, the passion and care shines through.

This is such a lovely nursery. The staff know our little boy as well as we do and he has such a great day there. He also has multiple allergies, which the staff have taken entirely in their stride and I trust them absolutely. They go above and beyond to make sure he has a varied and nutritious diet
and never feels left out.

I think the fact my daughter regularly asks to go to nursery on a Saturday and Sunday speaks for itself really! My 2-year-old is currently at this nursery and my son has since left to go to school and for both children, we could not have asked for a better environment. Knowing they go into such a well-managed,
enriching and caring setting, with staff who genuinely care about them and their well-being, definitely helps with the guilt of juggling work and childcare. The breadth of activities they do and the support they get in their development are amazing and it's so lovely to see my little girl so happy at the end of the day. We feel very lucky to have found this nursery.

Both of my children have attended this nursery, and have loved being cared for by the wonderful staff there. They always go the extra mile to create fun and engaging activities, ensuring they have fulfilling and exciting days. I have full confidence that their welfare is in excellent hands, and my children
leave with a smiles on their faces each day. The staff are warm and friendly, informative and honest. I love seeing my son bond with the staff and other children and hearing about their day. This is an excellent setting run by a caring and experienced team of lovely staff.

We've always been impressed with the level of care and attention from the staff. They really get to know the children and provide detailed and regular updates on progress with respect to learning, activities, even what they've been eating etc.
Genuinely bittersweet when our eldest had to move up to
preschool!

Cannot recommend Kindred Royston Church House Nursery and Pre-School highly enough, all the staff and management are so kind, caring and thoughtful. My daughter loves nursery and often doesn't want to come home.
My two boys have also attended the nursery, so we know the standards have always been
high.
We are updated daily with photos and comments about what is happening at the nursery which is so reassuring! Keep up the good work, a real credit to Royston.

My son was at Kindred Royston Church House Nursery and Pre-School from 9 months old until school age and now my one-year-old daughter is there. I cannot fault it, I love the staff and all the activities they do. I feel safe in the knowledge that my children are being well looked after. Both of my kids
absolutely loved it and I wouldn’t send either of them anywhere else.

The care my daughter receives is exemplary. She couldn't be happier at the end of a day there. All the staff, without exception, are friendly, kind and trustworthy. The variety of activities offered makes my toddler very excited about attending, and most importantly, I have no reason to worry about
her time spent there.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.592)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.592) out of 10 for Kindred Royston Church House 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 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 4.885 for Kindred Royston Church House Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (140 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.885

  • 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 4.707 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred Royston Church House Nursery and Pre-School is based on 13 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 92 number of registered child places is 18.4. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.4 = 0.707

  • 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.
