My little boy has attended here since he was 7 months old when his mum returned to work at the setting also. He has always been so well cared for and loves his time at nursery, telling me all about his day when he comes home. The staff have been so supportive with him, especially as at times he can
find it very hard to understand Mummy needs to work and look after other children and not just him.

Kindred Durrington is my child’s home away from home. Every morning we get ready and they excitedly wave goodbye to go to the baby room at nursery.
They have a close bond with their care providers giving me peace of mind that they are cared for whilst I’m at work. My child is always encouraged to
develop their skills at Kindred Durrington with clear communication between myself and their care provider to ensure we reach their potential.
Lastly, my child loves the meals Kindred offer to the extent that they eat better in Kindred Durrington no matter how hard I try to maintain the same standard. Going to collect my child to find them sat around a table enjoying a meal with their friends warms my heart.
Thank you Kindred Durrington for giving my child the best start in the wider world.

Thank you for your kind review.
Kindred's meaning is family and at Kindred Durrington, we are just that, one big happy family. We strive to be that home-from-home environment where little ones are happy to come to us and parents are content to leave their children with us. We are here to help them create as many moments of awe and wonder as they can in order to grow and thrive and it is our pleasure to be here to offer them the best early years foundation that we can so they can develop and eventually move onto their next adventure beyond Kindred. Communication is key and we find our app amazing at being able to do this however, don't forget we're always here for a chat, call or email too. We love our meals too and we'll pass your compliments on to our chef.

We are very happy with Kindred in Durrington, my son can be quite shy and they are always happy to settle him with a cuddle.
His speech has improved and he has started to come out of his shell and make friends.
Highly recommend, they are very friendly and I feel my son is happy and safe.

I would like to share my opinion. This is a very good nursery, my kids always enjoy it there and they love their all teachers. They are always very excited to go into nursery and all staff are very friendly and kind. They have all the facilities for kids and they can play outside. Also, my kids enjoy
their food so it’s good to see that kids like this atmosphere.

Throughout my child's time at Kindred Durrington Day Nursery and Pre-School the staff have been excellent at helping him; whether it's been guiding him on his own learning journey or adapting to changes at home when either parent is away. They cater for the individual's needs which has been so important
for us.
I know my child has fun every day there and is happy and safe.

My daughter loves being at Kindred - she runs into the building most days! The staff know her well, and she is very settled there as a result. Her language has carried on developing nicely there, and she enjoys the range of activities and interactions with staff. They do fun things - Friday afternoon
disco, which sees her bopping along.

I didn’t think I’d find a nursery that would take my son as he has a stoma but I cannot praise the staff in the baby room enough. They have embraced my son and his stoma and have learnt how to care for it and what to look out for. They were and continue to be very reassuring as he settles in, the app
is great for communicating especially in the early days when I’ve been nervous. My son loves the food and has such a varied choice, he usually has 2 helpings! They work with you and your routine, one of my fave parts is where the babies sleep it’s a calm comfortable room and it shows as my son has had no trouble napping. There are fun activities and a genuine bond between the babies and staff. I feel that my son is safe, well looked after and happy.

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

Thank you so much for your kind review. All the team at Kindred love our little ones and take the time to learn their personalities and needs. Your little boy is one of the Kindred family so the baby room team are proud to have him with them and we will always do our utmost to make sure they learn everything needed to keep all our little ones safe and happy. We love our app and find it the best way to ensure you have all the information you need on your son's day, as well as being able to message you whenever we need to. Nothing takes away from our personal handover at pickup but this ensures that nothing is missed. We'll pass your compliments on to our cook and we look forward to your son having many more happy times with us at Kindred Durrington.

My daughter has been at the setting for 2 months now and has settled in really well. I have no doubt that the caring and nurturing approach by her key workers has significantly helped this. She seeks comfort and cuddles from them which is heartening and helps me as I transition back to my full-time
employment. Other elements, such as meals and activities, have also been really positive.
I have no areas of concern and would highly recommend the setting to friends.

Thank you for taking the time to write your kind review. All the team at Kindred Durrington are so pleased your daughter has settled well and that you are both happy within our Kindred family. We see our nursery as a home from home for little ones and strive to ensure parents are kept informed of all their children's moments of awe and wonder whilst they are in our care.

Food isn’t catered for my child’s needs as it’s hot meals for lunch when he only has finger food. Their alternate food for my child is a banana or a cracker, and that’s not enough for my child when he’s there all day. It is either that or just let the hot meal go cold, and that’s not fair.

Fantastic nursery. Staff are friendly and highly professional in all they do. Baby boy loves it there and literally runs in the gate when we arrive. Highly attentive to his needs, nothing is too much trouble. Even in these testing COVID times, they have been first class in their care. Couldn’t ask for
more for my baby boy.

Both my children started at Kindred Durrington as babies and have absolutely thrived; I could be happier with the service provided.
The set up allows for both free, imaginative play as well as more structured preparation for school once they are older.
The staff are excellent, and I particularly
like that they sit at tables for food from the beginning.

We have been using the nursery for the last 5 years for our 2 children. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and make fantastic connections with the children. This was massively shown during the lockdown period my son continued to be happy and settled throughout the whole time even with all the big
changes going on. This was down to the planning and support the Manager and Toddler room leader provided. All the key workers we have had over the years have shown great care and have really got to know my children and family. They are extremely approachable and supportive.

An absolutely fantastic nursery with the most caring staff.
My son has come on so well and loves attending the nursery, he adores his key worker and has made some lovely friends along the way.
The manager is amazing, she goes above her job role and is so approachable.
SEN leader is fantastic, always
communicating and putting things in place to support families.
Preschool staff provide a warm, welcoming atmosphere and activities that allow the childran to grow and develop.
When your child wants to go to nursery on weekends, half terms and Birthdays you know your child is happy and views the nursery as family.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.913)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.913) out of 10 for Kindred Durrington 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.913 for Kindred Durrington Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (264 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.913

  • 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 Durrington Nursery and Pre-School is based on 24 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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 24 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.
