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!

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.
Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Harlow Nursery and Pre-schoolThank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt review. It means the world to us to hear how well your son has settled at Kindred Harlow, and we're honoured to be part of your journey as you balance full-time education and parenting.
Knowing that he has formed such beautiful bonds with the team - and that you feel true peace of mind each morning - is exactly what we hope for every family. Creating a home from home environment where children feel loved, understood, and celebrated is at the heart of everything we do.
We're delighted to hear how much he has grown, especially in areas he once found challenging. Watching children flourish and discover the world with awe and wonder is one of the greatest joys of our work.
Thank you for your incredibly kind words about Irene and the whole team. We are so grateful for your trust over the past 14 months and feel privileged to care for your little one.

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 daughter absolutely loves her nursery Kindred (Harlow).
She has learnt so much since being there. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents. Staff are always professional and kind.
The manager has also been very helpful and professional when dealing with enquiries.
I would like
to say a special thanks to all the staff at Kindred for making my daughter settle into nursery so quickly and make her experiences at nursery enjoyable and fun. I know when I leave my daughter at nursery she is well cared for and looked after by staff.
Thank you Kindred Harlow!

My little girl, started at Kindred Nursery when she was just one year old, and now she will be starting Reception this September. It is a little sad for us because she has really loved her time at the nursery, made so many friends, and built such happy memories here. I am so grateful to the wonderful
teachers, the great care, the opening and closing times that work so well, and the lovely food provided. Kindred has truly been a great nursery for my child, and we will always remember it fondly.

We wish her every success as she begins Reception, and we hope the memories she has made at nursery will stay with her as she takes this exciting next step.

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!

Our overall experience with Kinderd Nursery has been absolutely wonderful. The level of attention and genuine care shown by the team has made a huge difference in our child's development and happiness.


Since the manager took over, there has been a noticeable positive shift in the nursery. Her leadership

is warm, effective and clearly focused on the well-being of both children and staff. She has brought fresh energy and structure that has truly elevated the setting.


The learning opportunities are well thought out and engaging. There's a great balance between fun and educational activities, all tailored to the children's needs and interests. We've seen our child grow in confidence thanks to the supportive learning environment.


Communication with parents is excellent. We're always kept in the loop with updates, photos and feedback.


We feel incredibly lucky to have Irene and a fantastic team behind her.

and I will miss going to work without feeling anxious or worried and knowing he is well cared for.The manager has done wonders since she started and you can see her passion, how close she is to all kids and the positive impact she has on the whole team.

Absolute chaos, staffing turn over is appalling, current senior team do not deal with complaints appropriately and have no parental relationships.
Childs medication wasn't given, children running around doing as they please even if that puts the safety of the other children at risk. My children attended
from 2020-2023 where the nursery was rated outstanding, following on from an incident at the nursery, it was downgraded from an outstanding to a good with 3 recommendations less than 3 years after the inspection which got them an outstanding. A lot of the long term staff have now left, leaving the nursery with mostly new faces and inexperienced staff where children and my child came into the setting not knowing who the staff were let alone a key worker assigned to each individual child. The setting doesn't even hold the standards it use to let alone the management, would avoid.

My little one joined when he turned 3 and now he is about to 'graduate'. I had a few options closer to our home but they didn't feel right. When I was shown around the Kindred nursery I absolutely loved the environment they provide for the little ones. They have a lot of activities to get them working
together, exploring, experiencing and learning. I could leave my son there with peace of mind. I will definitely miss this when he starts school.
There is a lot of love in this nursery!

Since my child has been her, there has been a massive improvement with her socialisation skills with other children and adults. The adults are all friendly and take such good care of my little one. When I first viewed the nursery, it had such a warm kind environment. It’s not only her socialisation
skills that have improved, so much else has! But if I wrote all of that I’d be writing all day. She loves it there so much, she walks to the leisure centre and knows where she needs to go. It has been so nice to see her change from a newly crawling baby to a nearly stable walker in the past 8 months. I also love the online system and that every now and then I can see what she’s up to and read her termly reports on my phone. I could not fault this nursery one bit.

The nursery staff have really helped reduce our anxiety about having our first child in daycare. They provide a lot of detailed updates on children's progress and how their day was and their safeguarding procedures appear robust. They go to great lengths to develop fun learning activities for the children.
The food offered is varied and our child enjoys it. Overall we are happy with the choice we made for our child with Kindred Harlow.

Despite this not being a large nursery and they do not have a large outdoors, but they make it all work and come up with different activities every day. I like that every Monday they have a music lady (as I call her) come in who brings in lots of musical instruments for children, they sing and dance,
on Wednesdays they have football/rugby activities. There have been changes in management and the current two top ladies are amazing, very attentive, receptive to feedback, involved and approachable. My boy was in a different nursery and then we moved to Harlow, so he started at Kindred in January, staff were very accommodating as he was settling in. Overall really happy with our choice. He has plenty of opportunities to be active and creative, his language continues to develop well and they all had a trip to the local library. It feels that management and staff really care about the children and I feel confident leaving my boy there.

Lovely nursery. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere. My son has lots of fun. He gets a lot of support and is learning new things. He loves the music sessions they have. I appreciate all the observations we get. It is great to be able to see what he was doing and how much he enjoys himself. I find
the nursery to be well organised and best for communications. I never previously experienced such a good email and online portal system in my son's previous nursery and in my daughter's one when she was smaller. I also found that the staff members are very professional and do not make anything difficult. I can peacefully go to work or do other things and I never worry about my son like I did before we changed the nursery to Kindred.

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.825
    2. 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Irene Antoniou

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2025

I am deeply passionate about the Early Years and my primary focus is ensuring that children are both happy and thrive in the environment that we provide for them. Interacting with children brings me happiness, laughter and a renewed sense of wonder, making my job an emotionally rewarding experience.


We are a child’s first educator after their parents, and we understand that their very first steps in learning will guide their future. It’s important we work closely with parents to nurture them so we can create a better world.
