Our toddler was one of the very first to start in the baby room and the staff have been amazing at helping him settle in. We get regular updates that are linked to his development and he has a great time learning and playing. We knew from the open day that this was the nursery for us, such a warm welcoming feeling. The staff are experienced and friendly. Registering and communications have been very easy. Thank you for all that you do!

So happy with our daughter being at Little Leaners, she moved from a childminder so I was worried it would take a while for her to settle into a new nursery, however the staff have been very caring and reassuring. My daughter has had a great few first weeks - we've received a detailed report on how her first few weeks are going and the staff are always very friendly and have formed a great bond with my daughter.

We have two children at the nursery ages 2 and 4. The level of care the children receive is exceptional. The staff are well qualified and highly trained; they always behave in a professional manner towards the parents and children. All staff members are welcoming, from the kitchen to the room leaders to the office. They understand that each child has their unique ways and do their utmost to meet their needs and ensure they are happy. The daily activities seem well-organized, fun and educational. I believe my child’s individual needs are continuously met. A real stand-out quality of this nursery is that the management has a hands-on approach, they are fully aware of what is happening across all rooms. This is reflected in their presence across the classrooms and their relationships with the children and parents. This nursery has put my 4-year-old in good stead for starting school by providing her with a safe environment and the hard work of all the staff should be praised.

Outstanding nursery, management and team working there are superb. My son is happy, he is learning so many new things, he is constantly singing at home the song he learnt in nursery. I feel confident when I leave him that he has great care. He was attending a different nursery before and what a difference. Fantastic team and thanks to them for looking after little ones so well.

On starting our youngest at Little Learners, four years on from when our eldest daughter joined, we were very pleased to see that almost all the staff were still the same - a testament to how well the nursery is run and happy staff means happy children. Our daughter settled in very quickly and spends her time at home pretending she’s in ‘story time’ at nursery! The staff are very conscientious and attentive and it shines through their care. Recently our daughter had a medical episode and was given emergency medication in the event of a repeat episode. With no fuss the management took this on board, a clear plan was made for her care in the event of anything happening whilst under their care - as detailed as which member of staff would travel with her in the ambulance if required. I cannot fault their care, and trust them fully.

Kindred Little Learners has been an invaluable part of my son's journey, fostering a nurturing environment filled with supportive education. As we embark on a new chapter, we reflect on the wonderful experience and thank the Sunflowers staff for their unwavering support. The impact of this nursery on our son's growth is immeasurable. As we all know, selecting the right nursery for your child is a significant decision and Kindred Little Learners has certainly met expectations. After recommending it to a friend last year, who is now equally delighted, I am assured of its excellence. If you're in search of top-tier childcare, do include Kindred Little Learners in your considerations. The satisfaction it has brought both myself and my friend speaks volumes about its quality and care.

We did a lot of research prior to my son joining. The space is functional, bright, clean, spacious, homely and toddler-oriented. On the tour, the deputy manager explained the nursery experience with confidence, clarity and attention to detail. The daily schedule is routine, but flexible enough to cater for varying toddler moods! My son struggled with settling in, but calmed within days and I could phone the nursery as many times as I wanted for reassurance and was always met with honest professionalism. The safeguarding aspect is great - children come first and they are almost over-thorough in dealing with (rare) incidents! Daily communication from staff is not outpouring, but I do genuinely trust that this time is spent with your child developing them, rather than stuck behind an iPad. Whenever I have reached out with a question, I get a response within the hour, so it's up to you to seek out info if you need it. Staff - no ask is too much for them (dropped naps, potty training, etc.).

Our boy flourishes at nursery. He loves going and the staff are always so lovely when we speak to them. We feel comfortable that our boy is in a safe environment.

After moving from a nursery that we were not overly happy with, Kindred really made a huge difference to us and to our child. From the care and support of dropping off an uncertain and upset child, to guiding their development and setting them up for success in the future, the team at Kindred really are first class. I am always confident that my child is happy and learning, not just how to write and count, but also how to behave respectfully and responsibly. We will be sad not to see everyone anymore once our little one moves on to school.

The lovely room staff and management are all so nurturing and supportive and have done/are doing a tremendous job in supporting our son's development which is falling behind. The process included getting 3rd party advice and filling out many reports to make sure he's ready for school next year. Aside from potty training, he is always encouraged to use cutlery and try various foods. He is always given comfort and cuddles when he needs them. I highly recommend Kindred Little Learners.

It’s a lovely nursery, and kids generally seem happy. They have lots of books, toys and activities to keep them busy. The meals and snacks seem healthy. There is a lovely little garden with a slide. The nursery app updates are the only drawback that I see; we don’t receive much except the sign-in and sign-out times and any nap times as applicable on a daily basis, any accident reports as applicable and very rare updates of the child’s journey at the nursery or photographs (once in 1-2 months perhaps).

My son really enjoys his time at nursery. This is his first experience. The major problem is he has some speech delay and I have no idea how they communicate with him at the nursery. When we visited the nursery for the first time they said to us they give a daily update about him via the app but that is not real. They give general information, but nothing accurate about your child. I don’t know how many nappies they change, if he ate or not, or what. When we pick him up they just say 'he ate a little'. He’s been there since January and I have only received one picture. They said they prefer spending time with kids than taking pictures and I agree with it, but some information is fundamental for the parents. And it’s not that complicated, they can make a spreadsheet, complete and at the end of the day just put it on the app. So the communication it’s not working. Apart from that, they have a good space, the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

My 3-year-old has been going here since January 2023, we were at another local nursery previous to moving to Little Learners. We love this nursery, it is a huge improvement on our old one. They helped my toddler settle in quickly and did all the right things to allow this to happen. The staff are great and I love the way they use the app to inform the parents. The playing spaces inside and outside are also great. I would 100% recommend this nursery.

My son has attended Kindred Little Learners since September 2022 (when he was 2 and half years old) and we are really happy with the whole experience. The staff are kind, caring and attentive. The children have regular outdoor time and take part in stimulating indoor activities. Regular progress and feedback is given via the app. The nursery was also very supportive when we potty trained my son shortly after he started attending. Overall, a great nursery - I only wish they had a baby room for my son's brother!

We love this nursery! My child has been to a couple of different nurseries before this and this one is by far the favourite. Having attended this nursery for a month now, we’ve seen that the teachers are actively engaged with the children, helping them to learn through play. The children are well-fed with nutritious meals and healthy snacks and my daughter comes home excited to tell us about her day. We have already reserved a place for when my baby turns 2!
05 April 2023
The staff are lovely and caring while being professional in their dealings with the parents. I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents. My son is always kept entertained, he's learning and socialising.

My little boy has been with Kindred since January 2023. He is two years old and has speech delay. The progress in him since he has been at the nursery is amazing. They are kind, patient and caring to my child. They give updates on naps and progress etc. Fantastic nursery!

I've had two of my kids in this nursery, and they've constantly received the best care here.

There is little emphasis on learning, our child was hardly encouraged to write their name, the reading is no longer happening as there is no qualified teacher and whilst before our children would always bring cards made by them on any major occasions, now if they don’t want to do that they don’t, which sets a rather poor example in terms of preparation for school and the fact that there will be certain activities that will need to be completed. We found it rather shocking that when quizzed about school preparedness a senior member of staff said that they don’t tend to use the ‘s’ word as some children find it worrying, I am afraid I want my child to be ready for school. The communication is something that definitely needs improving as at the moment apart from generic messages on the app it is poor. Often no comments/photos even when the child is in the focus group. The nursery was supposed to open up to parents again and there was a date announced, sadly this never happened with no explanation.
11 July 2022
My child is happy and the staff are friendly, which is most important. I’m not particularly happy with the amount of feedback given via the app, basically one quick summary of an activity every couple of weeks and rarely a personal picture or comment about my child. This is very different to my friend’s kid’s nursery schools, who are sending daily information about the activities and pictures of their child doing something every day. Maybe, one picture and comment per child, each week would be a good place to start?
