I cannot recommend Kindred Nursery highly enough! From the very start, I have felt completely comfortable and confident leaving my daughter in the care of such a wonderful team. A special thank you to six staff members in particular, who have gone above and beyond to make her time at nursery so enjoyable.
She has learnt so much during her time here, and it is clear just how much effort, love, and dedication the team put into creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for the children.


Knowing that my daughter is not only well cared for but also truly loved while she is there means the world to me. The staff are simply amazing-kind, patient, and endlessly supportive. I am over the moon with the experience we've had, and I couldn't ask for a better setting for her to learn and grow. Thank you all for everything you do!

Our daughter loves her time at preschool. lt offers the perfect balance of fun and learning. She has made great friends and speaks so highly of the staff. Each day she skips in and doesn't look back, you can't ask for more than that as a parent!

My son has attended the nursery since summer 2024 and we have been so impressed with the warm, nurturing and welcoming environment that the lovely staff create. There are always creative and educational activities for the children to take part in - from baking and gardening to fun phonics and crafts.
The staff are all so friendly and crafting, and our son has built a particularly strong relationship with his key worker who provides regular detailed updates on his learning at nursery. We are happy to recommend the nursery highly.

Since the moment my daughter joined Preschool, her vocabulary and communication noticeably improved, and her development in all areas has excelled ever since. She really enjoys her time there, and has made great friends - as have I with parents of the other children!
The staff are excellent; their
professionalism, friendliness, and skill are evident in the care and routine they give the children, and they make a point of knowing and growing them as individuals. We get regular updates and photos throughout the week. The children learn about global cultural events through activities, food, and celebrations, and Preschool often hosts "extra-curricular" events such as inviting all the families in for breakfast and the Christmas concert. "Cook like Eira" is a wonderful initiative where the children are given ingredients and a recipe to do cooking at home.
My daughter suffers from a food allergy, and the process behind setting up her care plan was easy. I'm confident she is in the best hands.

Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Royston Newmarket Road Pre-School

Thank you for your kind review. It is wonderful to hear from you that your daughter is growing and thriving whilst she's in our care in her home from home. We love what we do with our children and all the moments of awe and wonder we can help them create. Communication with our parents is paramount and being able to do this both verbally and via our App is great. Thank you for being a part of our Kindred family and for allowing us to be a part of her early years journey.

Our daughter loves preschool. She started Sept 2024. The Newmarket Road Team are simply the best - caring, nurturing, creative and always keeps us up-to-date and takes on board any comments, and answers any questions we have.
We love hearing from our daughter about her day and seeing all the creative
activities she gets involved with.
The recent carol concert was a highlight; a true masterpiece!
This is a small preschool, but I think that's a real positive, as you get to know not only the Newmarket Road Team but the parents of other children too. It's a real community.

Thank you for your kind review and for being a part of our Kindred family here at Newmarket Road. We love what we do and we're so pleased you and your daughter do too. It's a real privilege to be a part of her early years journey and to help her grow and thrive through the creation of moments of awe and wonder. Here's to making many more.

My son has attended this preschool since January 2024 and I cannot recommend it enough - the staff are all so friendly and passionate, and really care about the children as individuals. There is always an abundance mix of fun and creativity, while still educational, activities, and resources are available.
I know my son will be totally prepared for school come September, thanks to all the care the Newmarket Rd team put into his development every day. Parents are also treated excellently and kept very well-informed at all times.

Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Royston Newmarket Road Pre-School

Thank you for your kind review and recommendation. We are a family here at Kindred and that includes all our children and their families.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your son's early years journey.

My son recently left the setting in September to attend school. I feel he was best prepared as best as he could be, and ready for the transition when it arose. My son has hypermobility and struggles physically in some areas. The staff here were amazing at supporting him within this, and I love all the
feedback we regularly received on the newsfeed and individual observations. I would highly recommend it.

Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Royston Newmarket Road Pre-School

Thank you for your kind review and recommendation. It is so lovely to hear that your son so enjoyed his time with us at Kindred Newmarket Road and he has had a good transition into his next big adventure at school. We love our App and how it allows us to share all information with parents as to what they are getting up to alongside day-to-day info such as meals etc. We wish both you and your son all the best.

I genuinely feel very blessed that my son attends this preschool. The team makes him feel so special and have an authentic bond with him that's lovely to see as a parent at drop-off and collection. He learns new things all the time and comes home proudly telling us all about them.
As parents, we are
also made to feel very welcome ourselves and every query or issue has always been handled wonderfully.

Having sent both my son and daughter to the pre-school, I have only positive things to say about our experiences. The staff have been great, the development of my children is fantastic and they have enjoyed every bit of their pre-school journey and moved on to school absolutely ready and thriving. I
feel safe in the knowledge that my children are being well looked after and are happy. To the extent I have ever made suggestions to enhance our experience further, they are always listened to and acted upon my comments which is fantastic. I would most certainly recommend the setting.

We are very happy with the preschool. Our son seems to have settled really well and I believe there is a good range of activities for him to get involved in that play to different skills and strengths. The staff are friendly and seem to really care about him. We love the Forest School too.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.916)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.916) out of 10 for Kindred Royston Newmarket Road 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 Royston Newmarket Road Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 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 Royston Newmarket Road Pre-School is based on 12 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 35 number of registered child places is 7, which has been reached with 12 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.
