Naturally, we feel disheartened to receive this review and we are so sorry about the experience your family has had. We have been working diligently with our Bournemouth team to enhance the quality of care and we have an unwavering commitment to continuing to improve our delivery of high-quality care and education throughout the nursery.
We have implemented significant enhancements throughout the nursery recently. One notable change is the appointment of a new, highly experienced management team. This team has and will play a pivotal role in reinforcing our dedication to continuous improvement and unparalleled quality.

Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased to hear your child is very happy in the nursery and has built strong bonds with our other children. We were sorry to hear that there were a couple of areas that you felt were only satisfactory – I know that our nursery manager has since spoken to you about those specific areas and we are so pleased to hear that you were happy with the points discussed. Our team looks forward to continuing to see your little one flourish and if you have any more questions please do not hesitate to speak to the manager.

The staff are also always doing new craft things and they also have a wide range
They also have a fab app which not all nurseries have which updates you throughout the day. In addition, they also offer long hours which is ideal for working parents.
I am very confident that my daughter is really well looked after here and, being an extrovert, she wants a lot of attention, which they manage really well and encourage her dancing and bubbly nature! Would definitely recommend without hesitation.

We're all one big family at Kindred and we're so pleased both you and your daughter are happy being a part of that. Our pedagogy and mission revolve around us being child-led and creating all those special moments of awe and wonder so that our children can grow and thrive. We love our parent app too, it makes our lives so much easier in being able to share information. Don't forget that you can also share observations as to what your daughter gets up to whilst not at Kindred Bournemouth.

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.548) out of 10 for Kindred Bournemouth Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.548 for Kindred Bournemouth Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (231 Excellents x 5) + (93 Goods x 4) + (24 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 354 Ratings = 4.548
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 Bournemouth Nursery and Pre-School is based on 28 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 101 number of registered child places is 20.2, which has been reached with 28 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.

Hi, I'm Hannah and I joined Kindred Bournemouth in November 2023 and have worked in childcare since 2015. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Studies.
I enjoy having lots of fun and making up games and songs with our children. I especially enjoy getting messy with lots of creative and sensory fun activities. My main passions within childcare are centred around children's communication and language development and their social and emotional skills. These two are areas are the most critical for children's future success. Preparing children with the skills, confidence, and self-esteem to overcome and take on new challenges within day-to-day life.
