I am extremely happy with the nursery and the wonderful care our child receives. From the very beginning, the staff have been welcoming, friendly, and genuinely attentive to each child's needs. It's clear that they are passionate about early childhood development and creating a safe, nurturing environment.
The
activities are well-planned and engaging, supporting learning through play while encouraging creativity, confidence, and social skills.


Thank you Irene for your dedication, support and passion in what you do.

My son absolutely loved coming to nursery. There were a lot of changes towards the end of 2024 beginning of 2025 in which needed to happen due to the poorly run management and staff issues, but since the change of management Irene has completely changed that place around, we didn't want to leave in
the end. Irene personally got to know all the children on a deep level, and in particular my son and was genuinely a warm person. I noticed a massive difference in the nursery and also my son's behaviour. Few other staff members really helped Wren along his journey too and everyone was so lovely, the activities provided were so much better and Wren enjoyed trying different healthy hot meals.


Thank you so much

Both of my children attend this nursery, one in the baby group and the other in preschool, and they are both very happy. I can clearly see how much progress they are making thanks to being around other children their age.


The staff and teachers are wonderful - caring, professional, and truly dedicated

to the children. The new management is fantastic and has made many positive changes, which really shows in how well the nursery is run.


The meals are great and very varied. My children always eat everything, and there are plenty of snacks, fruits, milk, and water provided, so parents don't need to bring their own. They also provide nappies, which is a huge help.


I really appreciate how well they handle allergies - it's very clear who has allergies, and they have proper safety procedures in place (including allergy pens), which gives me great peace of mind.


The observation and updates are excellent. Every few weeks, we receive detailed feedback about our children's progress and develop

Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Harlow Nursery and Pre-schoolThank you so much for your wonderful review.

We're delighted to hear that both of your children are happy and thriving in their rooms. It's lovely to know you can see the progress they're making and how much they benefit from learning and playing alongside their peers.

Your kind words about our staff and new management mean a great deal to us. Our team works hard to provide a caring, professional environment where every child feels supported to grow and develop. We're also really pleased that you value the variety of meals, the additional provisions like nappies, and the care we take with allergy management to ensure every child's safety and wellbeing.

My daughter has attended Kindred Harlow since August 2023. We moved to Harlow in a hurry and the staff were very supportive with allocating a place for us at very late notice. As parents we noticed a period of time during 2024 when there was a lot of staff turnover and standards seemed to slip. But
in the last year it's back to being a fab environment. Saying that, my daughter has enjoyed going to nursery throughout her whole time. The staff in the babies room are caring and professional and the environment is nurturing and safe. Now she is in the preschool room and she loves all the activities, especially the ones from external visitors such as football and dance pop. We have seen her develop and grow and make great friendships with the children and nursery staff alike. She'll be leaving to start school in September 2026 and I know she'll be completely ready and be at the right developmental level to thrive.
Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Harlow Nursery and Pre-schoolThank you so much for your honest review.
We're so pleased we were able to support your family when you moved to Harlow, especially at short notice - we know how important it is to feel welcomed and reassured during times of change. We also truly appreciate your feedback about last year. Transitions can sometimes bring challenges, but we're proud that the nursery is once again the fab environment you and your daughter deserve.
It's wonderful to hear that she has enjoyed her time with us throughout, from the nurturing care in the baby room to the exciting experiences she now enjoys in preschool. We love bringing a sense of awe and wonder to our activities, whether through everyday learning or special visitors like football and dance sessions, helping children discover new interests and build confidence.
Creating a true home from home is always our priority - a safe, caring space where children can grow, make friendships, and feel secure enough to flourish.

My son has been at kindred nursery since September 2024 and the staff have been brilliant helping him develop from learning to walk to his communication skills.
The nursery has supported us with things we are implementing at home such as less naps and easing the dummy off him. Would 100% recommend
this nursery to anyone who is considering it.
All staff go above and beyond from the key workers, kitchen staff and cleaners.

My son recently started at this nursery, and I honestly couldn't be happier with our experience so far. From the very beginning, the manager, Irene, has been incredibly warm, professional, and genuinely caring. She runs the nursery with such attention to detail and heart, you can immediately tell how
passionate she is about creating a safe, nurturing environment for the children.


Safety was my absolute top priority when choosing a nursery and this environment truly gives me peace of mind. The nursery is always clean, secure, and well-organised. I feel completely confident leaving my son there each day knowing he is protected and cared for at all times.


Irene and her team truly go above and beyond. Choosing a nursery is such a big decision for any parent and I feel incredibly grateful that we found this one. I would highly recommend it to any family looking for a safe, fun, caring environment for their child.

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.

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.

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.

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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.701 for Kindred Harlow Nursery and Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (256 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.701
  2. 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 Harlow Nursery and Pre-school is based on 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 24 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.

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.
