My son has recently joined kindred from another nursery and the difference in him is unbelievable in such a short time. It's such a supportive nursery that really takes the time to understand each child. When we have asked for extra support for him they have actioned this immediately and nothing has
been too much. The staff absolutely make this nursery and everyone I have met have been amazing and lovely you can tell the kids really enjoy themselves there. I would recommend kindred odstock to everyone

Are daughter has been attending nursery 2 days a week in the baby room since September 2024. She loves arriving to see the girls (staff) and is always eager to take off her coat and see what activities the day has in store. Out daughter loves playing inside and out and it's lovely to see her doing both
with nursery, exploring outside in her all in one overalls in the snow and ice as well as in the sunshine exploring the garden. She always seems to have a fulfilling variety of food which always sounds lovely, they have always stuck by our dietary requirements and willingly change them when we instruct them to do so. Are daughter never wants to leave at the end of the day always wanting to continue playing with her friends and to staff.

My little boy transferred to Kindred Odstock from another setting, which had traumatised him. From the outset, the staff here were understanding, caring and accommodating, going above and beyond to transition him gently into their care. He is now 6 months into life at nursery and he absolutely loves
it here.

Our son has been attending kindred odstock since early 2024. From the first settling session we were put at ease after feeling that it was a home from home setting. Which our son would benefit from. The staff are amazing and so caring to the children. Our son's personality has flourished in the past
year and his speech is coming on amazingly. All thanks to kindred odstock. I couldn't fault it at all.

Our son has attended Kindred from the baby room and he is now due to move from Toddlers up to Preschool. We have felt very comfortable from the beginning with the care he receives, he is so well cared for and he absolutely thrives. They are always so interested in his likes/dislikes and current interests
and he learns something new every day. I cannot fault the nursery at all, I'm so pleased we picked this one.

Our son has been at Kindred Odstock for nearly a year now, watching him grow and develop has been a real delight. The staff have gone above and beyond to support and settle him helping him adapt to our unique family scenario with his dad working away for weeks at a time. Seeing him create friendships
with others in his class and work through toddler boundaries has been well-supported by the staff. Regular updates through the app allow us as parents to feel assured he is in good care whilst also updating us on what he has been learning. I would highly recommend Kindred Odstock if you are considering a nursery, the staff are beyond friendly and they provide an environment for your child to thrive.

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

Thank you for your kind review and recommendation. It's wonderful to hear that your son is settled with us and his Kindred family. Communication with our parents is paramount and our door is always open. We love our app as it does allow us to keep you updated on all the everyday things as well as those developmental milestones. Here's to him making many more moments of awe and wonder as we watch him grow and thrive whilst on his early years journey with us.

My eldest daughter started Kindred Odstock Day Nursery and Pre-School when she was 11 months old in babies class, then toddlers and is now in pre-school. I find all staff very supportive to her needs. They have supported her to develop her ability to manage her emotions whilst continuing to encourage
her creativity and energetic approach to daily activities. She loves the staff and environment. The staff will contact me to keep me updated on her progress or concerns.
We did not hesitate to register my son for the nursery before he was born. He started at 9 months and after support from all staff, he has grown to really enjoy the nursery environment. Our son is very different to our daughter and the staff treat them as individuals recognising their needs. They keep the same key worker for siblings which has really helped us, as parents, feel safe and help provide good communication during our second babies transition to nursery.

Thank you for your kind review. It is very much appreciated and we thank you for allowing us to be a part of your little one's early years journey and for being a part of our Kindred family. Here's to them continuing to grow and thrive with us as we create moments of awe and wonder.

I have now used the nursery for both my children, my youngest attends currently. I work long hours and am reassured every day that he is in the safest hands, cared for and supported and thriving. Every day there is some new idea or craft to get involved with and all children are genuinely happy. Can’t
rate this nursery highly enough!

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

It is wonderful to hear how reassured you are to leave your child in our care while you are working. It is all we ever want as parents to know our children are happy and thriving. We make sure we get to know each child and plan activities around their interests to create those awe and wonder moments. Thank you for your kind review.

Over the past six years, both of our children have attended Kindred Odstock Day Nursery and Pre-School and the standard of care has consistently been exceptional. The staff are truly outstanding! They are caring, warm and possess a deep understanding of each individual child. They care about our children’s
interests and development and their commitment to practicing respectful care is evident, whilst they also excel in nurturing self-belief and independence in the children. The environment, both indoors and outdoors, is predominantly child-led, providing them with the freedom to explore their imaginations while also offering structured activities. Our daughter particularly enjoys the giant sandpit, the loose parts room, as well as engaging in activities like rugby and forest school. I like that the meals are nutritious and freshly prepared at the nursery and that there is an app to keep us updated on photos, payments, meals etc. Our children have had an enriching time at nursery and are well-prepared for school.

Such a fantastic nursery. Both of our boys have attended and although each very different in personality, they instantly settled and made friends with both staff and other children. The enrichment activities are great and they do so much more at nursery than we could probably provide at home.
I can’t
rate the nursery highly enough.

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

Thank you so much for your kind review, how lucky are we that we have been a part of both of your boys' nursery journeys? When settling at nursery, we always make sure we go at the family's pace and get to know each child's needs, it is great to hear, on both occasions, your boys settled well. It is always important to us to provide opportunities that children may not have access to at home, which helps create those wonderful awe and wonder moments for everyone. Thank you so much for choosing us, not once but twice.

Kindred Odstock is a great nursery setting. They’ve been amazing with my daughter who has special needs and they are supporting her in every way they can. They support her sensory needs and interests so she can develop to her best potential. They make necessary adjustments to accommodate her needs which
we are grateful for. The staff are lovely, kind, patient, understanding and experienced. They communicate well with us (parents) via the app where they update us with the achievement and development of our daughter which is great. They have lots of interesting activities indoors and outdoors that would develop the children’s imagination and creativity. I would recommend them to anyone.

Fantastic and supportive nursery that really took the time to help settle my little girl. They accommodate her vegan diet fantastically, and the menu looks lovely, and my girl seems to love her meals.
They always keep me informed and give me great updates and handovers.

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

Thank you so much for your kind review! We are so pleased that your little girl settled in the nursery with the support from the team; it is always important to us to make sure we go at the family's pace during these transitions. We work very hard to ensure that all children's preferences and religious and dietary requirements are met while in our care. Our yummy menus ensure we cater for all with tasty meals. Thank you so much for choosing us to be a part of your daughter's nursery journey.

It has been a pleasure to send our son (now three) to Kindred Odstock for the last couple of years. He has really enjoyed his time there and it's been great seeing him progress and constantly grow in confidence with his own abilities and his relationships. He started in babies and is now in the pre-school
room, where they are exploring ways to build on his interests to extend his learning. The staff are friendly, welcoming and accommodating. I love how much safe outside space there is and how the children are encouraged to take part in extra activities such as 'Rugby Practice' - a firm favourite! We are due a second child in May and have already signed him up to start in 2025. We look forward to our children continuing their journey with Kindred over the coming years and think it has been a great start in the heart of the community we live in.

My little girl attends Kindred Odstock and I cannot fault the place. All the staff are so lovely and you can see how much they make an impact on the children. My little girl is always excited to go into the school and never says bye. Especially when they were gearing up for Christmas and learning all
their new winter songs.

I cannot praise the Kindred Odstock team enough. I was very nervous about putting our daughter into preschool and they went above and beyond to help settle her into preschool as well as make me feel at ease about the process. Our daughter goes in happily every day and leaves each day full of stories
about all they have done with a big smile on her face. I would highly recommend Kindred Odstock to all parents, it’s a home-from-home.

What an absolute delight all the staff are. We love this nursery. Always made to feel welcome. I don’t think we could have found such a perfect match for us and our child. As soon as we viewed the place, we felt right at home and knew it was the perfect, nurturing environment for us. Not a single fault
to be had, just the highest of standards. My child has thrived here, loves all the staff and talks about them and her friends all the time. Thank you all for your outstanding work.

Our son attended previously and after a short break, we are now coming back, this time his sister will be attending too. The staff have been incredibly accommodating, helpful and as usual friendly and kind. He has blossomed during his time here with the most incredible activities focused on an enormous
range of learning both indoors and outdoors, hands-on exploring, creating and development. He has come on leaps and bounds in so many areas, we can't wait to watch both him and his sister settle in for lots more learning and exploring.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.937)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.937) out of 10 for Kindred Odstock 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.937 for Kindred Odstock Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (224 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.937

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred Odstock Nursery and Pre-School is based on 20 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 20 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.

Jessica Angell

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2014

I started working with children in 2003 where I began my training for my level 2 and 3. My journey at Odstock began in 2014 when we first opened. I worked alongside the then manager to set up and develop the nursery and with the embedding of our ethos and practice, which we are still so passionate about today.
I began as the baby room leader and then I stepped up into the position of Deputy Manager to cover maternity leave. I maintained that position and have since been promoted to Nursery Manager.
I feel really passionate about respectful care in young children and strive to create strong relationships between adults and children. In March 2019 I got the chance to visit Budapest where I took part in a week’s course to understand more about respectful care and how important freedom of movement and relationships are for young children to develop and to feel safe and secure within their environment.
