My child is happy and the staff are friendly, which is most important.


I’m not particularly happy with the amount of feedback given via the app, basically one quick summary of an activity every couple of weeks and rarely a personal picture or comment about my child. This is very different to my

friend’s kid’s nursery schools, who are sending daily information about the activities and pictures of their child doing something every day. Maybe, one picture and comment per child, each week would be a good place to start?

My daughter feels very well cared for, nurtured and happy in this nursery. My daughter joined 3 months ago and has settled so well here and really thrived. Within 3 months I have seen her social skills, maths skills, vocabulary and writing improve significantly and most importantly her confidence in
herself has grown. The key workers are highly professional, and caring and the care they take in making sure the children are happy and nurtured is unparalleled. I highly recommend Little Learners.

My son has been attending Kindred Little Learners for the past year and will be transitioning to primary school this September. All staff have been absolutely amazing and supportive, providing a nurturing environment, in which my son has been able to thrive, further his confidence, build positive relationships
with his peers and develop his skills and knowledge. I cannot express how sincerely happy I am with all staff, in particular his amazing key worker who is very attentive to his needs. A brilliant setting, which has prepared him for a smooth and positive transition into primary school.

Our daughter has attended Little Learners for 2 years now, and she has really blossomed there. The staff have been kind and patient with her, persevering until her confidence grew. She now looks forward to going, seeing her friends and trying out any new games and activities available. One issue with
another child was dealt with sensitively and professionally. I’d be happy to recommend the nursery.

Staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, with a wide range of knowledge to assist with any problems.
My child loves going to 'school' and doesn't want to leave.
My child's language and social skills have improved so much since attending and they enjoy telling me about all the fun they have had,
with friends, teachers and story time in particular.
Meal schedule provides a great variety of meals, which are always praised by my child.

Caring and supportive staff members who have helped my 2 eldest (and myself), transition to nursery attendance. My boy who has eczema has his special hand wash and cream applied by the teachers. I am updated on who his playmates are, whether he ate his lunch, etc etc - they should be complimented on
their attentiveness.

Our 2 years old son started nursery 6 months ago and he has developed into a very happy little man, always happy to go to "school" every morning, always having a smile on his face in and out. We can see how fast he is developing new skills thanks to the great team surrounding him all day. The app is
a fantastic tool as well as it is allowing us to have updates on what he has been doing during the week and allow us to get valuable feedback and reassurance from the staff taking care of him. Very happy with the decision we made to select Kindred, it is great to know that our boy is in safe, experienced and caring hands.

My daughter has been at Kindred for a year and a half and I could not be happier with her nursery. The teachers and practitioners are unmatchable, always cheerful, helpful and reassuring. There is a very no-nonsense approach to this nursery, which I really appreciate: reliability, common sense and wholesome
values. The children are helped in their socialisation journey and supported in their learning experience. Independence and kindness are the two greatest values that my daughter has been learning in nursery. The children are encouraged to practice their best skills and build their self-confidence on those, while also being introduced to letters, numbers and logics.
Only points to slightly improve on: more frequent updates through the app would be nice and perhaps lower fees...but that is London for you in most cases.

My 5 year old son attended Little Learners from when he was 2 years old until he started primary school. He loved it. The staff are professional, very caring and very approachable. I always knew he was in safe hands. The set up in the older class is such that the transition to primary school reception
is seamless, so my son had no problem starting reception. So when I had my daughter I didn’t think twice about sending her as well. She also started as soon as she was 2 years old and so far has had the same experience. I have recommended Little Learners to all of my friends. It’s a great place.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.717)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.717) out of 10 for Kindred Little Learners Nursery and Pre-school 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 6 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 4.886 for Kindred Little Learners Nursery and Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (62 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.886
  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 3.831 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred Little Learners Nursery and Pre-school is based on 6 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6
    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 130 number of registered child places is 26. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 26 = 0.231
  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.
