The staff, especially one lady, have been fantastic in helping my child settle. She has gone above and beyond. We are given regular updates and the nursery is clean, large and welcoming. The app is great.

My son with additional needs started at Kindred this January and I've not seen him so comfortable and happier in a nursery. My son was always so keen to get out of the old nursery but in kindred he does not want to leave. The staff are so supportive, professional, honest, compassionate, and caring towards
the all kids. Both the manager and deputy manager are so lovely. I'm gutted I did not start my son's nursery journey in Kindred but I'm grateful he is in a position place he is accepted and not judgemental. Such a brilliant nursery, will 100% recommend it to all moms. Thank you Cheshunt Kindred for all your support.

My daughter is so happy at Kindred Cheshunt. The staff are all lovely and really go the extra mile to make sure she feels happy and safe. She eats better at nursery than she does at home. The menu seems to be varied and healthy and must taste great or my little fuss pot wouldn't eat it! I would recommend
Kindred Cheshunt to anyone.

My son started his adventure with the nursery at the age of 10 months. He loves the nursery and his caregivers. Every day he literally runs to his room and immediately starts playing. He doesn't get bored because they always have some cool activities. Communication is very good, there are a lot of posts
on the app about what children are doing. Choosing this nursery was one of the best decisions.

My son is very happy going to nursery. This is the most important thing. He started when he was 11 months old and now he is 2,5 years old. Our house is a little far from the nursery and I preferred this nursery even though there are nurseries closer..
If I had only one criticism to make, it would
be that I used to receive weekly photos when my son was in the before 2-3-year-old class (baby class), but unfortunately, I can't get weekly photos in the 2-3-year-old class. We would be very happy if we could see more videos and photos of children.

Kindred Cheshunt have been, and continue to be such an amazing nursery for our two children (4 and 2); they have helped both kids settle in well and provide lots of fun activities for the kids to do. My daughter has autism and the team at Kindred have been extremely helpful in helping and advising us
along with supporting our daughter - I can not thank them enough for their support. The nursery is clean and the staff are all lovely, they really get to know the children well and genuinely care so much about them. I feel content leaving my children in their care and comforted with the updates you receive daily via the app. A very important aspect is that our children really enjoy going there. Would 100% recommend.

Closed and secured area. Safe for when it comes to leaving your child.

From day 1 my child settled in well. He loves going in and the staff in the toddler room are engaging, caring and skilled which makes it fun for him too!
I have not had concerns about my child’s well being which is the best thing a mom can ask for from a nursery setting.

This nursery (Cheshunt Kindred) has been a true blessing for our family. The staff is incredibly helpful, friendly, and dedicated to our child's well-being. They've always assisted with scheduling activities and holiday dates or child well-being. Highly recommend!

We moved my daughter here from another nursery and it was the best decision we could have made. We noticed a difference in her straight away. The staff here are great and they always have different fun activities for the children to take part in. The garden space is lovely and a good size and it was
nice to know they can spend a lot of time outside. They have a great app which provides a lot of information and is very easy to contact the staff on. Overall we were really happy with this nursery and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery.

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

Thank you for your kind review and recommendation. At Kindred Cheshunt our little ones and their parents are part of our Kindred family and we care for them as if they were our own children. We love being able to help nurture them as they develop into the individual characters that they are through our activities and their curiosity. These moments of awe and wonder are what help them to grow and thrive and what make us all so happy. We think our Satchel app is great and it's a wonderful tool for communication. Please don't forget that you can always add what you've been up to whilst your daughter is not at nursery so we can see and share in the fun they have at home.

The staff and management are so friendly. The staff in two to three, where my twin boys are, are so nurturing and understanding. My boys were very unsettled leaving at first, as it was all new. But, the ladies here have done loads to make them settle in and they love it now. Always coming back saying
what they have done, singing little songs they have learnt, and the pictures they make are amazing! They always keep me updated on what my boys are doing, eating, toileting, and as a parent you need that. Overall, lovely nursery, loads of stuff for them to do. Staff are kind and friendly. A really good nursery.

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

Thank you for your kind review. We know leaving the most precious things in your life is one of the hardest things to do, so we ensure that as a Kindred family we are here for all our little ones to ensure they feel settled and happy in our care.

Our little boy loves the nursery. The staff are brilliant. The app is excellent, I know exactly what our little boy has eaten, how long he has slept, toilet trips, activities, his progress etc. and it’s easy to communicate with staff on there too. Easy to drop-off/pick-up as they have a car park. Fees
stayed the same when they changed hands which was good. Only downside would be they don’t have the option of term time.

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

Thank you for your kind review. We love what we do at Kindred Cheshunt and to hear that your little ones feel happy and secure in our care is the best accolade. We are their home from home so whilst parents are working we envelop them into our family and ensure they are given the best early years journey we can. Our satchel app is invaluable to us and allows two way communication that helps both parties.

Our daughter is so happy in the nursery! Mornings are an easy time for us, as she loves attending her nursery and playing with her friends. She has made many friends over time and, with such enthusiasm, she runs towards the door. If the nursery could try to have staff on a permanent basis, the environment
would be even better for the kids. Overall, we are happy with the services.

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

Thank you for your kind review. We love what we do and we're so pleased your daughter is happy in our care at her home from home. The early years are the most joyous and we strive to help them create many moments of awe and wonder so they can grow and thrive through the use of their imaginations, creativity and curiosity. We always endeavour to keep our staff and they are all happy as part of our Kindred family. Unfortunately, some do move on for personal reasons or being in a place in their lives where they want to try something different.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.916)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.916) out of 10 for Kindred Cheshunt 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.916 for Kindred Cheshunt Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (395 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 429 Ratings = 4.916

  • 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 Cheshunt Nursery and Pre-School is based on 36 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 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 36 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.
