Kindred Islington Nursery and Pre-school

My daughter has been going to Kindred since she was 7 months old - she is now nearly one. The whole team have done such a good job at settling her in, making sure she gets enough attention given she wasn't able to participate in the same was as the other children being a bit younger. She is so happy, so well looked after and the team seem to genuinely love her. I am so glad for all the experiences they are giving her and the different experiences she is having. She squeels with delight each morning as we walk down the steps the nursery!

This nursery has been such a positive experience for our family. After moving our little one from another well known nursery, it completely restored our confidence and reassured us that truly caring nurseries do exist. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warm, nurturing atmosphere and welcoming environment.

The communication is excellent, with regular updates on our child's development and daily activities. They provide a fantastic range of engaging activities, along with plenty of outdoor time, which our little one absolutely loves.

In just three months, we've seen such wonderful development and growth. Most importantly, our child is always excited to go to nursery each day, which gives us real peace of mind knowing she is safe, happy and genuinely cared for with warmth and kindness.

Our experience with this nursery has been very positive. The environment feels safe, clean, and welcoming for children. The staff are caring and attentive, and they make a real effort to support children's development through different activities and learning opportunities. Communication with parents is clear and helpful, and updates about the children are shared regularly. My child feels comfortable and happy attending, which gives us peace of mind as parents. Overall, it has been a supportive and nurturing place for early learning.

My 11 month old has been at Kindred for 7 weeks now. They are so attentive and kind towards him and myself. Making the transition smoother than I thought it would be. I feel at ease knowing he is in good hands.

After 3 weeks, the experience has been fantastic with Kindred. The settling in process was very smooth, with the nursery being accommodating to us needing to be a bit flexible, the communication has been quick and clear and most importantly our son loves it and the staff are all so friendly!'

Leaving your kids in someone else's care is one of the hardest decisions you can make. When my daughter and sons started, I felt all the usual worries. From day one, the staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly supportive, making the transition so much easier for us all.

They constantly go the extra mile, not just for the children but for me too. They are always approachable, easy to talk to, and genuinely listen to any concerns or questions I have. Their flexibility and accommodating nature have made juggling family life so much smoother, and I truly appreciate how supported they make us feel.

Since starting, I've seen such positive changes in my children. Their confidence, independence, and social skills have grown. The nursery encourages learning in a safe, nurturing environment. My eldest even speaks Spanish and proudly says she learned it there.

Most importantly, my kids are always happy to go in and happy when I pick them up. I couldn't recommend this nursery more highly.

Amazing staff. My three children attend one of which is SEN. They've been super helpful and tending to all my children's needs. I felt safe enough to even bring in my 8 month old. I'm extremely grateful to have found this nursery.

A fantastic nursery with fantastic staff who now feel like new family members!

Kindred have been absolutely fantastic with my little girl. Settling in was a little tough as my daughter took a few weeks to adjust with lots of tears (from both of us!) and clinginess. However Kindred reassured me and looked after us so well. The team are all super caring and diligent. The children have lots of fun with all the different activities. My daughter has dramatically improved in terms of her development sincen she started at Kindred. Shout out to our fantastic key worker who has been amazing throughout. Two other members of staff have been amazing too. My daughter quickly loved Kindred and had a big smile whenever i dropped her off! we're only leaving as we are moving house and very sad to say goodbye!

I really love the weekly schedule of activities they have on - most days have two special sessions of things like Spanish, phonics, yoga, sports school, dance (my child's fave). Plus mostly out to the park or playground every day.

Our son has attended Kindred since 2022 when it was a family owned business called 'the Grove'. In the past three years, our son's growth and development has been well supported by the staff and management. In particular, (i) the quality and warmth of care of all staff and (2) the excellent facilities which are always being improved have stood out for us. We have noticed that children are happy and safe in all of the rooms which separate the different age levels. And there is a focus on play, development, language, music/dance, sport, nature and time spent out of doors that is age appropriate for the children. It's great if you want your children to be around other children and the parents we have gotten to know are delightful people. We'd recommend Kindred Islington highly and without reservations.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care provided to the Islington Kindred Nursery. Very clean, well organized place for the children. The staff's dedication to children is truly commendable. The activities offered are engaging and age-appropriate, stimulating the children's minds and encouraging their development. I really saw a big differences before to bring my daughter here and how much knowledge she has accumulated in the nursery .She like and she is very happy here. Thank you for creating such a wonderful place for children to grow and learn.

The staff are amazing and like a part of our extended family. My son started at a new school last September which he absolutely loves, and even still asks to come to the playgroup during school holidays. I literally can't recommend them anymore. I was going to highlight some special names to mention, but thinking about it the list would go on and on. We love Kindred Islington, and when the time comes for us to leave will always look back on our time there with fond memories.

Every team member we've interacted with has shown not only competence but true kindness and patience. My children have made visible progress in their social interaction and daily routines since attending, and I can honestly say that's thanks to the incredible support they've received here

Wonderful and loving staff. They make a lot of effort to have lots of engaging activities and keep the children learning and active (sports school, dance, drama, Spanish, animal displays, science, etc).

Thank you very much!

My little girl's development has come on leaps and bounds thanks to all of the staff. Thank you to 6 staff members in particular and the rest of the team

Kindred has been extremely supportive throughout the whole transition process of sending my son to the nursery. Even though it was a very nerve-racking, process for both me and my little one, the reassurance and constant updates from the nursery about my son, with pictures, what he's doing exactly, how much he has had to eat, etc. made the process so much easier and smoother for the both of us. Would definitely recommend the nursery for any family thinking of sending their little one here.

I can't recommend them highly enough.

The staff are amazing they always greet me with a smile when I drop my grandson off to them. When I leave my grandson I know he's safe and well looked after. He learns new things every day in the nursery. The nursery always keeps us informed regarding my grandson. I'm happy that my grandson is part of the Kindred Islington Nursery they make us feel like we are part of their family. I want to say a big thank you all and well done keep up the good work.
