Our child has recently joined Kinderzimmer Chelmsford.
She has been warmly welcomed from day 1 and we are so happy we have decided to send her here.
It's early days but we could not have wished for a better start.
The staff are brilliant.
Long may it continue.

We love Kinderzimmer! Our daughter has been warmly welcomed by everyone (and I mean everyone!), making the transition so easy and positive for both her and us. The environment is calm and beautiful with a wonderful array of interesting toys and play areas. The sleeping area for babies is dark and quiet.
The food menu is varied and healthy. All the staff make such an effort to make the days fulfilling and fun for the children. They seem to deeply care about all of the children they look after. It's great to receive updates throughout the day on what's happening at the nursery. Our daughter enjoys it so much that often she doesn't want to come home at the end of the day!

The nursery has been a fantastic environment for my child to thrive in his early years.
The staff are incredible and truly care about my child's growth, development and positive relationships with his peers. I particularly love how the staff consistently treat each other with kindness and care; an
important life skill for the children to observe.
The facilities are world-class and I have seen my child grow and thrive in this environment. I chose to move my child from another nursery when Kinderzimmer opened. I was hesitant at first because my child was settled and I had no real issues, but from week one when I collected my child from Kinderzimmer they were happy, well fed, a clean nappy, and well rested. A huge relief for a mum who wants the best for their child.
We are so impressed with Kinderzimmer's facilities, the food, the staff, and the communication.

Reply from Katherine, kinderzimmer Team at kinderzimmer Chelmsford

We love seeing your little one thrive with us and we're so glad you're seeing the difference too. We're glad you feel relieved to have your child in our care, as we certainly want the best for each child as well. Thank you for such a glowing review.

Our 20-month-old has been attending this nursery for the last 5 months, and we couldn't be happier. The key workers are dedicated and compassionate, understanding each child's unique needs. The office staff and management are always approachable and responsive. The Montessori-style learning has helped
our child flourish, and the outings provide wonderful new experiences for the children.
Our son's language skills have developed significantly, and he has formed a special bond with all the staff in the baby room.
We greatly appreciate the daily photos and progress reports, which allow us to feel connected to our children's day even when we're apart.
Leaving my child to return to work was daunting, but this nursery made it so much easier. We are incredibly grateful for the team's unwavering commitment to our child's happiness and development. Highly recommended!

We couldn't be happier with Kinderzimmer. Every aspect of the nursery is thoughtfully designed with a purpose, creating a beautiful and nurturing environment. The carers, teachers, and all staff members are incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring that each child feels valued and supported. This setting
is truly a gem, and highly recommend it to any parent seeking a caring and wonderful nursery which will take absolute care of your little one from an educational aspect but also an emotional one.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Kinderzimmer. Their approach has truly nurtured our child's independence, curiosity, and love for learning. The environment is beautifully designed, with hands-on materials that encourage exploration and creativity. The teachers are incredibly patient, knowledgeable,
and attentive to each child's needs. We love the focus on self-directed learning and practical life skills and it is amazing to see how much our child has grown, not only academically but also socially and emotionally. We feel confident knowing our child is in a safe and enriching space.

As I'm sure most parents can understand, the idea of leaving my baby bubble and sending my son to nursery terrified me - and then we found Kinderzimmer. Firstly, I was blown away by how beautiful it is, and then we met the incredible staff. Everybody is so friendly and I feel like they're genuinely
invested and passionate about our little boy's growth and development. He adores his key person and they've struck up such a bond already, which means the world to us. The updates through the app are brilliant. I can see what (and how much) he's eaten, when he was last changed, and even when he's sleeping! He's always getting to experience new and exciting activities that we'd never even think to do at home - and lots of these are outdoors too. We're constantly amazed by the new things he can do and believe the nursery plays a big part in this. There were nurseries closer to our home but none of them topped Kinderzimmer for us. We are beyond happy with it!

We are so impressed with kinderzimmer and the whole team led by the manager. Our son has developed in leaps and bounds due to the one-on-one attention. The best thing about kinderzimmer is its cleanliness and well-looked-after space. As well as the menu, my fussy child eats everything due to their inclusive
and adventurous approach Thank you so much kinderzimmer. We love it!

Reply from Katherine, kinderzimmer Team at kinderzimmer Chelmsford

Thank you for this amazing review - it's everything we strive for at kinderzimmer. We're thrilled that you've seen your son develop since starting with us, and that we're helping healthy food habits with our delicious meals. We can't wait to see him grow even further!

Kinderzimmer Chelmsford has been an absolute blessing for our family. From the moment we first stepped through the doors, we felt a sense of warmth, welcome and belonging; our little one automatically engaged with the environment and played with the manager on our first visit!
The staff at Kinderzimmer
have a genuine, palpable passion for nurturing young minds. They are all incredibly caring and knowledgeable, and it is clear that they are deeply invested in each child's growth and development.
It's been lovely to see my daughter forming special bonds with all members of staff. She wakes up excited to go to nursery, and we are so happy to have found a learning environment that matches so well with her independent outdoorsy nature.
If you are looking for a nursery that truly nurtures and celebrates your child's individuality, Kinderzimmer Chelmsford should be your top choice.

We moved our son to Kinderzimmer recently. We are so pleased with our decision. The nursery itself is amazing with fantastic facilities and a beautiful setting for children to grow and develop. What makes this nursery exceptional is the staff. They genuinely love their role in caring for your child,
they teach kids in an intelligent and caring manner. The updates are excellent and give you a thorough and meaningful insight into your child's development. I wish this nursery had been around when our son was a baby. We love it.

Lovely nursery and fantastic staff. Now that the weather is nice, they spend the majority of the time outdoors in the garden, which is super nice. They do lots of activities and keep us updated with photos. It's very reassuring knowing our son is in such a nice environment.

We are very fortunate for this school to have recently opened in my area as space in excellent nurseries is extremely scarce.
I am impressed with all areas, from cleanliness to nutrition, but in particular, with the staff that has welcomed my son in a warm and structured environment.

We are extremely happy that we picked Kinderzimmer, Chelmsford. We looked at four nurseries in the area and it was clear from entering Kinderzimmer that this was the one for us.
From the initial online registration, the joining process has been smooth. Everything from the fees to the settling-in sessions
has been simple, easy to understand and complete. Everyone that works at Kinderzimmer has been welcoming and friendly and we liked the fact that there was a separate role of housekeeper for meals and cleaning. The menus sound delicious. The design, equipment and outdoor space are all excellent. Our little boy seems to enjoy his days in the baby class and we are pleased he settled in well and look forward to the updates we receive through the app.
Would highly recommend it.

Kinderzimmer is an outstanding nursery that I highly recommend to any parent. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere put us at ease. The bright, thoughtfully arranged spaces are designed to stimulate learning and creativity, with engaging toys, educational materials, and cosy
areas for children to explore and feel at home.
The manager leads the team with passion, dedication, and genuine love for children, reflected in every aspect of the nursery. Her attention to detail and commitment to each child's well-being is remarkable, making the settling-in process smooth and reassuring.
The staff at Kinderzimmer are equally exceptional. They are warm, nurturing, and deeply invested in each child's development. Their educational philosophy fosters a love for learning through play, creativity, and exploration.
This nursery is a fantastic choice for any family. We couldn't be happier with our decision!

We recently transferred our child to kinderzimmer from another local preschool, and the difference has been remarkable. From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew we made the right decision. Our child's behavior has improved significantly, and we've seen an incredible boost in their overall
development. It's truly been a transformative experience.
While the exceptional facilities and the expansive garden are fantastic, what really sets kinderzimmer apart is the wonderful staff. They are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's growth. They create a nurturing environment that encourages learning, exploration, and social development. Our child comes home happy every day, eager to share what they've learned.
We couldn't be more grateful for the positive impact kinderzimmer has had on our child. If you're looking for a preschool that offers more than just great facilities, but also a team of dedicated professionals who care deeply about your child's well-being.

After looking at many nurseries in the local area we were thrilled to find Kinderzimmer. The design and facilities are outstanding and are beyond comparison to other settings that we had viewed. The settling-in process was seamless, the staff members went over and above during the sessions to make our
family feel comfortable and welcomed. Since joining our daughter has thrived, the staff worked with us to ensure her routine was not too disturbed and send us regular updates throughout the day on how she is doing, receiving videos and photos is a highlight of our day. We can see a notable difference in her social skills and the amazing attachments she has formed with the team. Previously she has been a fussy eater, but at nursery she has tried and enjoyed a wide range of foods from a great menu that I would never have thought to cook. There is a lovely outdoor space with a mud kitchen and herb beds, so whilst we are at work we know she is getting outdoors and enjoying the fresh air.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.990)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.990) out of 10 for kinderzimmer Chelmsford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.990 for kinderzimmer Chelmsford is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.99

  • 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 kinderzimmer Chelmsford is based on 17 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 84 number of registered child places is 16.8, which has been reached with 17 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.
