Review of
Kindred Harlow Nursery and Pre-school
from V D (Mother of Child) published on 5 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Nursery has been very helpful in my child's learning and social development skills. The nursery itself has monthly activities and events for kids, clean environment and kind/helpful staff. They also include a food catering service which was recently introduced this year; a bonus especially when they

can cater for any dietary requirements. I really like how interactive and engaged the staff are to the kids which is visible when my kid started to feel settled everytime i drop her off.
They prioritise safeguarding and the well-being of every child which makes me feel at ease that my kid is in a safe environment whilst i work. In comparison with other nurseries, i really like that they have a user friendly app to update me with daily activities related to my child such as meals, nappy changes and accidents. They also cater adjustments if needed for late pick ups. Recently they also have a book borrowing scheme which i find very resourceful and a smart way to have less books to waste!

Review of
Kindred Harlow Nursery and Pre-school
from Ashlee C (Mother of Child) published on 5 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son started Kindred, Harlow in September 2024 as I went back into full time adult education as a single parent.
My son has developed massively in areas that he struggles in with the support of staff, he has made beautiful bonds with the staff at Kindred and dropping him off in the mornings is peace

of mind for myself knowing he is surrounded by lovely people that enjoy him as much as his own family. It is very much a home from home for us now and I couldn't be more greatful to Irene and all the lovely staff at there for all there support over the last 14 months.

Review of
Kindred Waltham Abbey Nursery and Pre-School
from Billie-Louise C (Mother of Child) published on 12 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter has been there since she was 8 months old and she is now 3 1/2 and thriving. The staff have always been very polite caring and informative. My daughter always struggles at drop off (just how she is) and they are always on hand to give her cuddles and comfort. They are always doing fun things

such as yoga etc. Special mention to Shanice, Sydney, Sarah, Sadie, Nicola and Gemma. All have been brilliant looking after my special girl throughout the years! Would highly recommend.

Kindred Waltham Abbey Nursery and Pre-School
from S L (Mother of Child) published on 12 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My Daughter has been here for over 2 years, she was very shy at first (able to talk but not talking at nursery) her confidence built within weeks.
She is now absorbing so much more and is enjoying what she tells me is 'Yogo' and her letters of the week. She is definitely preparing for school.
I highly

recommend this Nursery/ Pre-school they are professional, approachable and understanding that your child is is in their care.
The nursery is purpose built, I was impressed that they can access their toilets from their outside play area (as well as easy access inside) With fun outdoor activities.
They explain what your child had done for the day, whether they have eaten well or not, food likes and dislikes, progression in understanding and of course any art work they have been working on!
I have not ran into any major issues, I am always upto date , given plenty of notice for picture day. I have no complaints! Management welcoming and approachable and most importantly knows the children.

Review of
Kindred Rayleigh Nursery and Pre-school
from V P (Mother of Child) published on 6 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Our son has attended Kindred Rayleigh since he was 9 months old, and the care and love shown since has been excellent. His key worker and all staff in his room have been attentive and are always happy to tell us how he is doing, be that in person or over the app if we ask during the day. Our son seems

really happy and is always smiley at pick up. We've seen all our son's progress as they send us photos and updates which we love receiving! Whenever there have been any bumps or accidents (which are rare!), they have let us know straight away and given us all details. Kindred Rayleigh is an excellent nursery and we are very happy with it.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Kindred. The staff are incredibly caring and dedicated, taking the time to really get to know each child and make them feel valued and secure. Our little one has grown in confidence, made lovely friendships, and comes home excited to share what they've learned

each day. It's clear that the team genuinely love what they do - their warmth and commitment shine through in everything. We're so grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery.

from S B (Mother of Child) published on 6 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to this nursery since the beginning of this year and I am really pleased with her progress. The staff are so lovely and really seem to care and show her so much love and attention. She doesn't seem to be behind in anything and is learning so much and nursery is bringing out

her personality.

One thing I would like more of is a bit more interaction on the app, maybe some more pictures as I feel like it has slowed down since when she first started but other than that I cannot fault anything.

Everything at the nursery is clean and tidy, staff well presented and polite. Manager is lovely and helpful.

Kindred Harlow Nursery and Pre-school
from S R (Mother of Child) published on 13 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

When my daughter first started at the Kindred Harlow, she was very nervous and used to cry at drop-off, but the staff were so kind, friendly, and patient that they helped her settle in quickly. Over time she became so comfortable, made lots of lovely friends, and actually looked forward to going every

day. The staff are always warm and engaging, and we really appreciated how they gave us updates as often as they could about her day and progress. The current manager was also very approachable, always ready to help and quick to answer any questions we had. We're really thankful for all the care and support given to my daughter, it's been such a positive experience for her and for us as parents.

My little girl, started at Kindred Nursery when she was just one year old, and now she will be starting Reception this September.

from E O (Mother of Child) published on 11 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Kindred for three years now. While there have been quite a few changes during that time, I'm pleased with the direction under the new management. Issues are dealt with promptly, and although there are a lot of new staff members, they've built strong bonds with the my daughter.

A

few months ago, when there was frequent staff turnover, it felt unsettling - both for me as a parent and for the children. However, things have since stabilised, and I can see a more consistent and nurturing environment returning, which is really reassuring. My daughter looks forward to heading into nursery which is a good sign!
