Thank you for your kind review.
It always makes us so happy to hear our parents are comfortable leaving their precious children in our home-from-home care. The Kindred Winterbourne team work so hard to ensure all our little ones, and their parents are looked after and feel part of the Kindred family. We love our app too. It gives us the ability to communicate all aspects of a child's day with us from the essential daily information to the photos of what they've been up to and learning during their day whilst they've been with us.

Thank you for your kind review.
Building a strong and trusting relationship with a child helps practitioners to know how best to plan for their learning. We help them develop through them creating moments of awe and wonder so that they can grow and thrive. We love our parent app and how we're able to communicate with our parents and that it's two-way. It is so pleasing to hear that your little one so enjoys their time with us at Kindred Winterbourne and within our Kindred family.

Thank you so much for your kind review. At Kindred, we are all about creating inspiring experiences and environments that are full of awe and wonder for little ones to grow and thrive in. When children feel safe, secure and happy this is when the foundations to learn start. We endeavour to carry out child-led learning so our planning can be in the moment as we catch a child engrossed in play or with a certain subject. We love what we do and our app enables us to share as many of these special moments with our little ones' parents.

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.611) out of 10 for Kindred Winterbourne Earls Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.714 for Kindred Winterbourne Earls Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (188 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.714
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 4.897 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred Winterbourne Earls Nursery and Pre-School is based on 21 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 117 number of registered child places is 23.4. 21 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.4 = 0.897
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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager
Joined: 2003
Hello, my name is Laura Hopkins and I am the Manager at Kindred Winterbourne.
I started in this role in September 2024 after having progressed from being a deputy manager at one of our other Salisbury-based nurseries where I was in that role since 2018.
I began my career as a Private Nanny until I moved into nursery education. I hold a Diploma in Childcare and Education Level 3 and have experience in childcare since the early 2000s.
Job Title: Deputy Nursery Manager
(Maternity leave) Deputy Nursery Manager
I have worked in childcare across a variety of ages from 3 months plus for nearly 13 years. I started my childcare career in 2010 at an outdoor nursery, where I completed my levels 2 and 3 in Early Years. This has given me some amazing experience and has helped me gain a wide range of knowledge which I have brought to Kindred.
I joined the Kindred family in 2018 as a room leader and have since worked my way up to Deputy Manager and nursery SENCO. My passion is respectful care, ensuring we follow a respectful and unhurried approach to the children's development and care, ensuring they are given the opportunities to flourish and develop into confident children ready for the next steps in their journey.
