Review from A F (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our experience with this nursery has been truly positive, especially considering how challenging things were at the beginning. My daughter initially found it very difficult to settle due to separation anxiety, which was understandably tough for both of us. However, the staff showed incredible patience, care, and consistency throughout the process.

They took the time to build trust with her at her own pace, never rushing or pressuring her, and always offering reassurance and warmth. Thanks to their perseverance and genuine kindness, she has come such a long way. Now, she happily goes straight into their arms at drop-off, which is something I couldn't have imagined in those early days.

We've also noticed a big improvement in her confidence and social skills since starting at the nursery. She is much more comfortable interacting with others and seems genuinely happy and secure in the environment.

Overall Experience

We can't fault Kindred Little Learners at all- we feel as though we have landed on our feet finding this gem of a nursery. The staff are all wonderful, and they have created a warm, caring and nurturing environment for the children. The children aren't just looked after well, but they are supported to learn and progress, and there are plenty of activities to keep them entertained- from dance, to sport, to baking, to arts and crafts. There is no greater comfort than knowing that our child is in a safe, reliable and dependable setting, that our child is being looked after just as well as if at home, and to see that our child is thriving- excited to arrive at nursery, excited to come home and babble about the day, and making huge developmental strides. And what's even better is seeing that the staff are as excited at watching our child develop and grow as we are.

Overall Experience

The staff at Kindred Little learners have been outstanding with our little one.

Our little one has challenges with speech and language and regulating emotions. Everyone at the nursery have been super supportive in ensuring our child is getting the right help from the right resources i.e. Bromley council assistance for an EHCP to fast track development in these areas. We are beyond grateful for the help and support we are being provided with thus far.

The staff here really do truly care for our children and are always open for a chat as they have the kids best interests at heart.

We just want to say a massive Thank you to the team at Kindred for continuing to care!!!

Overall Experience
The staff is really nice and professional.
In terms of food offered I am not entirely satisfied with it. To give an example It would be nice to a have a better variety of food for breakfast: since my son started nursery in November every day they offered banana satsuma and toast- every single day. I would like to see offered more varieties every day and healthy options such us porridge or some greek yogurt with vitabix. The menu shows different options but it's not followed by the staff.
Some of the lunch and tea options should be revisited as they seems too fatty for babies ( example: mac and cheese should be removed and swapped with other healthy options).
Aside from the food It would be also nice that the nursery arrange some meet up day with the other parents that are in the same group with my son

It would be nice also maybe with the helps of volunteers to arrange special activities (maybe one week sensory another on art other on sports etc)

Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Little Learners Nursery and Pre-school

Thank you for your review and detailed feedback. We're glad you find our staff professional and caring.

Regarding breakfast, babies are offered Weetabix if they don't eat the toast, and we are also looking at introducing porridge as an additional option. Our menus have been verified with a...

Review from Richard H (Father of Child) published on 24 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy started at Kindred Little Learners in January 2026 at 14 months old. After visiting several nurseries, Kindred immediately stood out for its welcoming atmosphere and caring team. Communication between staff and parents has been excellent - not just through regular updates on the app, but also through thoughtful conversations at pick-up time that keep me informed about my son's day. I also feel completely confident leaving my child in their care. The environment is safe, nurturing and focused on each child's development, which reassures me that he is learning, growing and thriving every day.

Our Son loves it. Were fist time parents and were very apprehensive about sending him to any nursery. After about 2-3 warmup sessions, we realised he likes going to kindred more than he likes being at home with us it seems!
Overall great and friendly staff, who seem to really care and enjoy looking after little ones.

Highly recommend

As first-time parents, it's completely natural to feel apprehensive about starting your nursery journey, so it means the world to us that you placed your trust in us.

I'm so pleased with this nursery. They are caring and nurturing, and adapt to different children's needs. My youngest was shy and easily upset, but he's come right out of his shell and is so comfortable there. That's testament to the lovely staff. Great outdoor space too, and loads to play with inside. Lots of messy play too.

Our toddler was one of the very first to start in the baby room and the staff have been amazing at helping him settle in. We get regular updates that are linked to his development and he has a great time learning and playing. We knew from the open day that this was the nursery for us, such a warm welcoming feeling. The staff are experienced and friendly. Registering and communications have been very easy. Thank you for all that you do!

So happy with our daughter being at Little Leaners, she moved from a childminder so I was worried it would take a while for her to settle into a new nursery, however the staff have been very caring and reassuring. My daughter has had a great few first weeks - we've received a detailed report on how her first few weeks are going and the staff are always very friendly and have formed a great bond with my daughter.

Review from Grace N (Mother of Child) published on 15 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have two children at the nursery ages 2 and 4. The level of care the children receive is exceptional. The staff are well qualified and highly trained; they always behave in a professional manner towards the parents and children. All staff members are welcoming, from the kitchen to the room leaders to the office. They understand that each child has their unique ways and do their utmost to meet their needs and ensure they are happy.
The daily activities seem well-organized, fun and educational. I believe my child’s individual needs are continuously met. A real stand-out quality of this nursery is that the management has a hands-on approach, they are fully aware of what is happening across all rooms. This is reflected in their presence across the classrooms and their relationships with the children and parents.

This nursery has put my 4-year-old in good stead for starting school by providing her with a safe environment and the hard work of all the staff should be praised.

Outstanding nursery, management and team working there are superb. My son is happy, he is learning so many new things, he is constantly singing at home the song he learnt in nursery. I feel confident when I leave him that he has great care. He was attending a different nursery before and what a difference. Fantastic team and thanks to them for looking after little ones so well.

Review from A O (Mother of Child) published on 7 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

On starting our youngest at Little Learners, four years on from when our eldest daughter joined, we were very pleased to see that almost all the staff were still the same - a testament to how well the nursery is run and happy staff means happy children. Our daughter settled in very quickly and spends her time at home pretending she’s in ‘story time’ at nursery! The staff are very conscientious and attentive and it shines through their care. Recently our daughter had a medical episode and was given emergency medication in the event of a repeat episode. With no fuss the management took this on board, a clear plan was made for her care in the event of anything happening whilst under their care - as detailed as which member of staff would travel with her in the ambulance if required. I cannot fault their care, and trust them fully.

Kindred Little Learners has been an invaluable part of my son's journey, fostering a nurturing environment filled with supportive education. As we embark on a new chapter, we reflect on the wonderful experience and thank the Sunflowers staff for their unwavering support. The impact of this nursery on our son's growth is immeasurable.

As we all know, selecting the right nursery for your child is a significant decision and Kindred Little Learners has certainly met expectations. After recommending it to a friend last year, who is now equally delighted, I am assured of its excellence. If you're in search of top-tier childcare, do include Kindred Little Learners in your considerations. The satisfaction it has brought both myself and my friend speaks volumes about its quality and care.

Review from Laura Y (Mother of Child) published on 1 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We did a lot of research prior to my son joining. The space is functional, bright, clean, spacious, homely and toddler-oriented. On the tour, the deputy manager explained the nursery experience with confidence, clarity and attention to detail. The daily schedule is routine, but flexible enough to cater for varying toddler moods!
My son struggled with settling in, but calmed within days and I could phone the nursery as many times as I wanted for reassurance and was always met with honest professionalism.
The safeguarding aspect is great - children come first and they are almost over-thorough in dealing with (rare) incidents!

Daily communication from staff is not outpouring, but I do genuinely trust that this time is spent with your child developing them, rather than stuck behind an iPad. Whenever I have reached out with a question, I get a response within the hour, so it's up to you to seek out info if you need it. Staff - no ask is too much for them (dropped naps, potty training, etc.).

After moving from a nursery that we were not overly happy with, Kindred really made a huge difference to us and to our child.
From the care and support of dropping off an uncertain and upset child, to guiding their development and setting them up for success in the future, the team at Kindred really are first class.

I am always confident that my child is happy and learning, not just how to write and count, but also how to behave respectfully and responsibly. We will be sad not to see everyone anymore once our little one moves on to school.

The lovely room staff and management are all so nurturing and supportive and have done/are doing a tremendous job in supporting our son's development which is falling behind. The process included getting 3rd party advice and filling out many reports to make sure he's ready for school next year.
Aside from potty training, he is always encouraged to use cutlery and try various foods. He is always given comfort and cuddles when he needs them.

I highly recommend Kindred Little Learners.

Overall Experience

It’s a lovely nursery, and kids generally seem happy. They have lots of books, toys and activities to keep them busy. The meals and snacks seem healthy. There is a lovely little garden with a slide. The nursery app updates are the only drawback that I see; we don’t receive much except the sign-in and sign-out times and any nap times as applicable on a daily basis, any accident reports as applicable and very rare updates of the child’s journey at the nursery or photographs (once in 1-2 months perhaps).

Overall Experience
My son really enjoys his time at nursery. This is his first experience.
The major problem is he has some speech delay and I have no idea how they communicate with him at the nursery. When we visited the nursery for the first time they said to us they give a daily update about him via the app but that is not real. They give general information, but nothing accurate about your child. I don’t know how many nappies they change, if he ate or not, or what. When we pick him up they just say 'he ate a little'. He’s been there since January and I have only received one picture. They said they prefer spending time with kids than taking pictures and I agree with it, but some information is fundamental for the parents. And it’s not that complicated, they can make a spreadsheet, complete and at the end of the day just put it on the app. So the communication it’s not working.

Apart from that, they have a good space, the staff are very friendly and welcoming.
