My son loves nursery. I'm really pleased I made this choice. He's always happy and eats all the food which sounds lovely. This nursery has a great outdoor space which the staff frequently change, making fun new areas. The staff are always smiley and welcoming. It's odd not being able to go in but he's
never even looked back. I can work with peace of mind that my boy is loving his time there.

Our son loves attending preschool and we are so grateful for the care, gentle encouragement and empathy shown to him by the excellent kindred Odstock staff.
The freedom, choice and autonomy offered to the children at Odstock is exceptional. We are sure that the confidence and self-esteem shown by
our son at home is in no small part down to the creative play that he has engaged in at preschool, along with the lovely relationships that he has made with children and staff.
We highly recommend Kindred Odstock.

My son absolutely loves Kindred nursery. He settled quickly and has made a strong relationship with staff and children. The play opportunities have really helped him develop and the communication between nursery and home is absolutely fantastic. Regular updates and photos mean that I learn so much about
what he is up to and links with the EYFS curriculum are clear and informative. We couldn’t be happier with Kindred Nursery and want to thank all the staff for their amazing efforts. The food is better than we eat.

Great nursery with super staff. My child has attended regularly for two years and always has a thoroughly good time at the nursery. The staff are exceptional and have coped admirably with the COVID situation. The new App is excellent and gives plenty of information about what our child has been up to
and what he has eaten.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 11 months old, she settled in brilliantly due to the care and attention the staff gave her and still loves going now. They have always shown compassion and worked around her needs, nothing is too much trouble for them.
Having a child with allergies
is a worry for any parent but they have handled this extremely well and have all the correct procedures in place.
I would highly recommend this nursery.

Both of my children attended Kindred Odstock from 2014 to the current day. They have received exceptional care during their time with the team. The nursery space inside and out is welcoming and stimulating. The ethos of the nursery is inclusive and gentle, with an emphasis on natural play using collected
and everyday items to encourage children to use their imagination and challenge themselves spatially. The nursery was both a great place for a young baby to explore friendships and the world around them, and later a thoughtful and sympathetic preparation for school. During this time, we as parents were regularly kept informed and included in nursery developments and the relationship was very supportive. The team have coped admirably during the Covid-19 pandemic, and the changes made have been carefully implemented with minimal impact on the children's experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery and the fantastic team who make it what it is.

My daughter adored nursery, right from the first settle session to the day she graduated. It was an amazing environment for her to grow, develop, find herself and flourish! She made friends for life, learned and developed vital skills from sensory to health and self-care she uses every day and the bond
she shared with her key workers and other staff was magical! Highly recommend!

Our daughter has been attending Odstock day nursery since September 2018 and there would be no other provision I would want her to attend. It is a home from home - her Odstock family have seen her grow from baby room to pre-school and without a doubt, she is even more amazing because she has been supported
to flourish and thrive in the care of the superstars who work here. The relationship key workers have not only achieved with our daughter, but us as parents and they are one of a kind and I have always felt so comfortable and trusting in their approaches to development and compassionate, respectful care rituals. Our daughter absolutely adores this place, as do we - she is stimulated attuned to her own development and needs, emotionally supported, entirely adored by the staff and admittedly, she isn’t this awesome just because of her parents. If you want your child to be entirely valued for their individuality, form secure attachments, be adored and thrive - then Odstock is your place.

Odstock Day Nursery and the team are the most enthusiastic, motivated, child-centred, sensitive team in child care I know. My son and daughter have both been at Odstock since they were 6 months old and they were like family, welcomed every day with open arms. They were approachable at any time for any
issues that arose in or out of nursery and went above and beyond to help my son adjust to have a new sister by coming to our home and helping us put tow their strategies. My son seemed to be allergic to the world in his first year and the chef worked incredibly hard to make sure he was given a nutritional meal. I cried when I left as this was a group of people that held our hand through the new journey of parenthood and we couldn’t have done it without them.

Both of my children attended Odstock Nursery from 9 months until their time to attend primary school and they loved every moment. The relationships that the staff build with all the children, not just those assigned as key workers is remarkable. What drew me and kept us over anything else is the respectful
learning ethos which is embedded throughout every aspect of the nursery and the staff genuinely share the same beliefs. From the calm approach to learning through play for the children and the innovation and holistic training opportunities for the staff to the nutritious and locally sourced, seasonal menu, Odstock is truly outstanding in their field. Our time at Odstock was cut short due to COVID and my youngest starting school in September but that didn’t stop 2 key workers contacting me to see how he got on. I am so grateful for the time that both boys spent at nursery, for the staff’s care and attention and the friends for life that both the boys and I have made.

This is a fantastic nursery with great staff and a great onsite chef. The staff are imaginative, insightful and caring and leadership is strong.
Their approach since reopening in June after lockdown has been superb and the faces of the children as they wait to go in the morning is the best testament
to that. I haven’t had a moment of worry since my daughter has returned. My daughter joined this nursery as a ‘non-eater’ and the gentle, encouraging, accommodating steps they took to support me to help her on this journey will always stay with me.

I cannot fault this nursery, having sent my child here since she was 18months old. She has grown with so much confidence, and always comes out full of enthusiasm to tell me what's she's been up to for the day. She is now three and I'm eager for her baby sister to start in September. I wasn't at all
worried about her returning to nursery after Covid-19 lockdown as the care and safety measures they put in place put me at ease immediately and the communication we receive all the time is excellent.

I cannot fault this nursery. My children love it and are beautifully cared for. I love the ethos - children seem to be encouraged to really discover things for themselves. Learning appears to be facilitated in a really exciting and natural way rather than too structured or formal. The staff are really
friendly and caring.

My son has been very happy at Odstock Day Nursery. I particularly felt the care in the baby room was good. I was very worried about sending my son at first and was worried about the transition as he is such a bad sleeper but they have patiently and gently worked with him so he has napped at nursery.
He got lots of cuddles and was made to feel secure. I am grateful to two girls in particular for this. They use a gentle supportive approach which is very important to me as I don’t like the idea of sleep training and would be very unhappy if a nursery did this.
They have an approach where they don’t have toys but encourage the children to create from bits and pieces which means every day is different and the staff work hard to create new set-ups each day. My friends who have had children transition to school said the nursery prepared them very well for this.

My daughter has been in attendance at the nursery since she was 12-months-old. In the 18-months in attendance, we have watched her confidence and key skills grow.
The support given here is wonderful, and my daughter can not wait to attend every week.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this nursery.

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.
