My son has attended Kinderland Day Nursery for almost 4 years and I am so sad he has to leave. He has made many wonderful friendships and connections with team members who obviously care for him a great deal. I can't adequately put into words my thanks to all of the team who have looked after him and
made his time so special, I recommend Kinderland to all my local mum friends!
Reply from Ella Mason, Deputy Manager at Kinderland Day Nursery South Croydon
Thank you for such lovely words, it has been a pleasure watching your little one grow over the years and we wish him all the best with his new adventure!

I am so grateful for Kinderland, they are incredible at what they do. My boy is thriving going there, particularly with his speech and language. The staff are so caring and nurturing, and it's so reassuring as a first-time mum to be able to leave him in a happy and safe environment. The facilities are
amazing, and the staff couldn't do more for you as a parent, or for your little one. I highly recommend booking in for your visit, and sending your child(ren) there.

Kinderland Nursery is the best nursery in the world!
All of their staff have contributed to my daughter's growth and curiosity for learning.
I value all of your hard work and commitment so much!
My daughter is always happy because they always make her feel special, loved and cared for. Words are
not sufficient to thank them enough for all of their commitment to my daughter's academic progress.
On behalf of all of the parents too, I thank you all for your hard work and dedication.
Your excellent work cannot go unnoticed!

My daughter has been going here for the past one-and-a-half years. The nursery is family run and has been well-maintained for kid's needs. We have had good experience, and we recommend them for their honesty and integrity. They worked as partners with us for my daughters overall growth. She will miss
her key workers as she starts her reception.

My little boy absolutely adored his time at Kinderland! We are so sad to be leaving for school but will treasure our memories always.
We loved all the extracurricular activities for preschoolers such as the French lessons, football lessons, woods outings and the special fun days like the animal visits.
Feel so lucky to have found the Kinderland family! We miss you already!

Although I am quite excited for our new chapter with starting reception in September, it's with sadness that we are leaving Kinderland Nursery.
My daughter started as a baby and has grown into a beautiful little girl. She has progressed and developed so well that I can’t recommend the nursery enough.
The
staff in each class has this quality star, they are devoted, committed, kind, caring, loving and fun.
The nursery is offering a wide range of activities such as beautiful art and craft, sports day, drama, games, walking and exploring the forest, museum trips, leaps and bounce, visits from the fire brigade, police which opens up their awareness, the farm comes to visit the little ones at the nursery.
There are not enough words to describe my gratitude. You have been so supportive through the years and always smiling so thank you team.

My 2 year old son has been going to Kinderland for 5 months now and I've been blown away by how much the staff care about him. I was nervous at first as he doesn't talk yet but honestly, I can't recommend this nursery enough. My son quickly settled within a few days and has developed close relationships
with the staff members although he does have a favourite! One staff member is like his second mother and I know he's in good hands once I leave! They have their 10 minute cuddle as soon as he runs in and I don't even get a wave goodbye! We are greeted by the door every morning by an amazing manager who our son loves to play hide and seek with and has always answered every question with professionalism and care beyond a doubt. I really can't fault this nursery and their workers truly care for the kids and I can't thank them enough!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our son has been attending Kinderland for over a year now and absolutely loves it. The staff really do take an interest in him and make sure he is well looked after and learning.
The staff give regular updates through an online app as well as parent evenings which is important to understand how your
child is doing.
The only downside is the lack of information they provide around amount of food consumed at meal times as it is very vague and would be helpful to know more.
Otherwise we love it and would recommend other parents to try it.

We found the staff to be very kind, considerate and engaging with the kids. They really went above and beyond to help both of our kids to settle into nursery. Our eldest is at school, however, she still talks fondly about her time in nursery and preschool. Thank you so much to everyone at Kinderland

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our twin sons' first ever experience of interacting with multiple children in a single location was at the Kinderland. Although they were both very reluctant to part with us the initial couple of days, the staff at the nursery made the boys settle very quickly and made them want to attend from the second
week on. Sending a book of photos of the school for us to help familiarise the kids at home worked really well. Parents who may be struggling to help kids part, this is one trick that worked on ours. Very caring and conscientious teachers who help children play to their strengths. Our boys practically every day want to know why they can't go back to the Kinderland and then console themselves by saying that's only when you are a baby you go there. On their request even recently we walked them up to the gates just so that they can recollect some of their recent past. Thank you so much for giving our kids a great start to schooling.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
2 of my 3 children attended Kinderland. My son attended from 2015 for a year or so before starting school and my daughter attended from 2018 to date. Every single interaction with this nursery has been professional, kind, enthusiastic, and accommodating. My kids absolutely loved/love their time there
and always come home with lovely stories about what they spoke about, friends they made, the food they ate, or the various animals they got to meet and learn about. The staff always have a smile on their faces and genuinely enjoy spending time with our kids. I highly recommend this nursery. I am a fussy mother and would pick up on things that bothered me, but honestly, I can’t rate it highly enough. We’ll miss it when my daughter starts school in September.

I was very happy with Kinderland a few years ago when my daughter was little so it was naturally our first choice for her younger brother too. It still doesn’t disappoint. The staff are always helpful and friendly. I feel very comfortable leaving there my little one, knowing his day will be filled with
exciting adventures and lots of fun.

Review from Aditya A (Father of Child) published on 27 January 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I have no problem with the staff looking after the child but the management/finance department is highly unprofessional. They terminated our contract after a mutual agreement and still charged almost 3 weeks of fees, plus asked me to forfeit the deposit worth £250. This is absolutely unacceptable behaviour.
They cannot possibly charge for the services they will not provide (post-contract end date). They claim I have to pay the "notice period" on one hand but say the contract is terminated (i.e. I cannot send my child to the Nursery hence costing me babysitter money) on the other hand. This is ridiculous behaviour from the management and they are not even apologetic. I am going to take this matter up with the appropriate dispute resolution body.

Both my boys have been well looked after here. They are safe, well-fed, entertained and taught. The staff are kind and welcoming and my youngest, still at Kinderland, enjoys fulfilling days there. They read together, dance, exercise, play outdoors, learn about animals, draw, make friends and lots else.
He comes home happy and tired.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All good things to say about the Kinderland team. My son has always been a clingy child so starting nursery was always going to be tough for him. The team handled him very calmly and assured me he was alone in his behaviour. He settled in relatively quickly and when he moved up to the next stage class
he was fine with the transition. I was definitely more nervous than him at this move!
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the manager has kept us up to date at every stage and the information we received about all the changes they are making have been very positive. I'm so happy that they are open again and my son can return very soon.
We were apprehensive about him starting again after such a long time away but yet again the team have kept in touch with us and assured us that on his first day a member of staff that he knows/is fond of will be on hand to greet him. These personal touches really make me happy that he's returning to such a safe and caring environment.
Plus, their garden is amazing!

My son attended Kinderland Day Nursery over 9 years ago and having had such a good experience there was no hesitation to send my granddaughter too! Some of the staff members still remain at the nursery, a testament to a happy workplace. The nursery is very well run not only as a nursery but as a business.
The staff without exception are lovely, helpful, well trained and happy. The place has a happy atmosphere with staff that really care. A place you can confidently leave your child and know they will have a good day while you are able to get on with yours. My granddaughter has attended throughout the Covid-19 pandemic as my daughter is a key worker and Kinderland remained opened, very quickly dealing with the required risk assessment, working practice changes and business implications. I really do recommend Kinderland when anyone asks about a nursery. The children at Kinderland are happy, as are the staff and parents.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.344)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.344) out of 10 for Kinderland Day Nursery South Croydon is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

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 4.944 for Kinderland Day Nursery South Croydon is calculated as follows: ( (34 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.944
  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 3.4 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kinderland Day Nursery South Croydon is based on 3 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25
    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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.15
  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.
