I think the staff can make the difference and so far all of them have been great. They work hard closely to the kids as well as to the parents. It is a very good team work between families and school.

My child has a very good time at Kindred Islington every day. There are varied sessions and activities, friendly and caring staff, plus the rooms are playful and well laid out. Efforts are made to get the children out on a walk almost every day. All in all an excellent nursery in my opinion!

They always go above and beyond with their activities and my little one always has some fun stories to tell when I pick her up.

Our daughter is so happy at nursery. The peace of mind we have knowing that we can go to work not having to worry about a thing is priceless. We would recommend the nursery to anyone considering enrolling their child there. I have deducted one star from "Facilities/outdoor space" due to the lack of outdoor space available at the nursery itself, however children are taken out to the local park/for walks regularly, so we do not see it as a problem.
Thank you for your kind review and recommendation. Your children are the most precious little people in the world and to ensure you are happy leaving them in our care in their home from home is something we strive towards. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of her early years journey so we can help her grow and thrive through the creation of many moments of awe and wonder.
Our daughter has made much progress since attending this nursery.

My 2-year-old son has been attending Kindred Islington since he was 10 months old, and it's been wonderful to see how much he has grown and developed during his time there. The staff truly make the nursery a special place-they're caring, attentive, and dedicated to the children's well-being. It's also been lovely to connect with other parents in the Kindred community. Overall, we've had a very positive experience, and I would highly recommend it.

We have 2 children at Kindred Islington and our experience has been excellent so far especially since the new nursery manager has joined the team. The manager and all the carers are very engaged and warm, and they do everything they possibly can to support us and make sure our children are happy and thriving at the nursery. They also do amazing activities for the children every day including sports, forest school, yoga, music classes, etc. and they put a lot of emphasis on the development of the children and preparing them for the next stage. In addition to the healthy and delicious home-cooked meals they prepare. Kindred has been a home for us over the last 2 years and we're incredibly grateful for the support of the manager, all the staff, and the parent community at the nursery who helped us during difficult times including my return from maternity leave and making sure our kids are well settled.
Thank you for your kind review and for all being a part of our Kindred family at Islington. We love what we do and how we can help all our little ones grow and thrive through the activities we put together for them. Being a part of your children's early years journey is a privilege. We shall pass your compliments on to our chef.

We feel that we are part of the Kindred family. On our first visit and since then, a particular member of staff has welcomed us as parents and oriented us brilliantly with the nursery. The management, the teachers and the staff have all made us feel at ease since the first day our daughter started at the nursery. Our daughter's key worker worked very closely with her and we couldn't have been happier with the care and attention she gave to our daughter. Her warmth and caring approach made our daughter feel at home. We are confident in knowing our daughter is safe and enjoys her time at the nursery with her teachers and friends!
Thank you for your kind review and for being a part of our family here at Kindred Islington. It is such a privilege to be a part of your daughter's early years journey and we couldn't be happier that she has settled well and enjoys spending time with us in her home from home. Here's to watching her continue to grow and thrive while we help her create many moments of awe and wonder.
My son is so happy here! The staff are wonderful his key worker is amazing and he loves her - they do so many lovely activities and his language has developed massively among other things - it's a lovely place for him to be and we're really happy as a family!

My child was at the nursery for 18 months before Kindred took over and it was excellent. Kindred's takeover was terribly orchestrated, changes were made with no communication to parents, meals went from 2 home-cooked meals a day to 'vegetable sticks and tomato dip' for dinner. First all the staff left, so there wasn't enough staff to take the kids outside each day, and then all the kids started leaving. Within a couple of months every member of my child's class had left, parents absolutely horrified by the decline in the nursery. The worst part is the way Kindred treated the staff, hiring a new manager and desperately trying to find any reason to fire the previous one who the kids/parents loved. Despite being at the nursery for 2 years my child suddenly started crying at every drop-off, after 4 months I knew I had to move them. They are now at a council-run nursery, the fees are half of Kindreds, it has an amazing outdoor area, 2 home-cooked meals, staff and children are visibly happier.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your concerns and appreciate the opportunity to address them. Our meals continue to be home-cooked by our on-site chef, with menus accredited by a nutritionist, ensuring children receive healthy and nutritious food throughout the day. Regarding staff changes, while some members have left for individual reasons, we have retained many long-serving team members. Additionally, we have successfully recruited new staff, including a Senior Nursery Manager, who have settled in well and are contributing positively. Children are taken on daily trips to parks, including visits to our award-winning Forest School, providing enriching outdoor experiences. We regret that your child felt upset during drop-offs. We encourage parents to share any concerns with us promptly so we can address them immediately. Thank you again for your feedback. We are committed to providing the best care and experience for all children in our setting.
Loving and caring staff, many of them very experienced. Children are happy to attend and participate in the activities they organise. Technology also helps create a sense of community with a very straightforward app.

My son has attended this nursery for two years now, and we adore it! The caregivers are so sweet and truly adore the kids. They offer loads of fun activities every day, much beyond what I'm capable of or have the energy to do at home. They cook all the food on site from scratch too, which is important to me. Thank you, Kindred family! We love you all.

Thank you for your review. We're disappointed to read this. Although we have discussed the points above, we want to clarify some areas and update you on developments since your departure in February. A notable change is the appointment of an experienced Senior Nursery Manager in March, who is reinforcing our dedication to continuous improvement. Children are taken on daily trips to parks, including with an award-winning Forest School. Trips were temporarily reduced to ensure robust risk assessments were in place following Kindred assuming management, but children still had access to our gardens. Nursery Management ensures adherence to our menu, recently enhanced and soon to be accredited by a children's nutritionist. Our children's safety is paramount, including strict compliance with staff/child ratios. Management ensures ratios are always adhered to. We create calm and safe spaces for sleep. If children choose not to nap, our team are experienced in supporting with individual needs.
We are devastated to be leaving. My god the staff are wonderful! They...
My youngest has adjusted so well - he adores it there and happily leaves my arms to get into his day there. They do amazing activities, messy play, baby yoga, dancing, art and have a sensory room the babies love. It’s such a joy to see. We feel very privileged to have been part of The Grove family (name recently changed to Kindred) and were very sad it has come to an end. We’ve made so many friends through the nursery - it’s a lovely community to be part of.

Since my son joined the nursery, all the staff have been so caring. Making him and myself feel at ease. From the warm reception entering to seeing the manager daily and can ask any questions or queries that might arise. I've found the photos and updates really key for parents to feel involved. All of the daycare staff have gone above and beyond to help both of us feel supported. With work situations changing regularly, there has been lots of flexibility to days and balancing costs from a parent's side. There were small teething issues when it was taken over, which is understandable, but I feel they have overcome them. There will always be a staffing issue, as in any care industry, which is unavoidable. I feel confident that my child is having a good day and that he and I are supported - which is the main factor!
Thank you for your kind review. It is very much appreciated and we thank you for allowing us to be a part of your little ones early years journey and for being a part of our Kindred family. Here's to them continuing to grow and thrive with us as we create moments of awe and wonder.
