I am really pleased with Alphabet House, I feel that my daughter is very happy and developing well. The staff are superb and the nursery has a real good feel about it. There are lots of toys/activities for the children. I am so pleased that the children also visit the local farm on a regular basis.
My daughters key worker is wonderful and I would certainly recommend this nursery to friends.

My daughters keyworker is very supportive in meeting my daughters needs. She communicated my childs targets very clearly and advised me on additional information to enhance her development at home. She clearly talked me through the daily routine and advised me on how she measures her progression and

After having visited the nursery to have a look around before deciding which one my son would attend I felt right at home with this nursery. Everyone was friendly and I felt confident he would be well cared for.


I would highly recommend this nursery as my son has fitted in no problem since I had

always been at home with him till he was 3. I felt confident that he was being cared for and that he would be comforted if needed for the reasons above. I am also happy with the level of development he has reached.

My son has attended the preschool for over a year and his confidence has improved no end. He has difficulty with his speech but this has not held him back. With the support of his key worker and the other staff, his speech improved and became more clear. I cannot thank the staff enough he never wants
to come home at the end of the day.

My child thoroughly enjoys his time coming to the nursery to spend time with not only the staff but he has made plenty of friends along his journey whilst he has been coming. All staff are friendly, helpful, courteous and can't do enough for all the children. The activities provided are not only helping
his progression develop but moulding him into an individual to grow into. Overall extremely happy.

My daughter attended Alphabet House Day Nursery from 11 months old until she sadly had to leave for big school. She loved every minute and never wanted to leave in the evenings! The care, love and teaching she received here was beyond fantastic! The team are amazing providing so many varied activities
(dance, French, tennis, forest school, farm days) with amazing fun and enthusiasm. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My son has been coming here for the last few months. My son has come on in leaps and bounds, the staff here have done more than enough to make him feel comfortable and happy. He has gone from being a shy and cautious boy to loving the nursery and wanting to come every day.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.490)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.490) out of 10 for Kindred White Post 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 15 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 4.865 for Kindred White Post Nursery and Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.865

  • 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 4.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred White Post Nursery and Pre-school is based on 15 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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.625

  • 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.
