Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I had my 2 children attending Kindred Little Learners since 2018 and my youngest one will be starting reception in September 2021. What a wonderful learning journey they both had at the nursery!
The nursery has won me from my first tour visit there, and I visited quite a few in the Bromley area. They
are very well structured, have fantastic nursery setting and amazing, professional and lovely staff that I can't praize highly enough! Both of my children were very happy there and made some good friends that they have stayed in touch since their nursery days.
There is an app where parents are being informed what their child was doing during the day including pictures which is great, together with the reports about the progress of their child.
Pre-school is fantastic, the children know how to write and sound all alphabet letters and can count until 100, well prepared to start school.
A huge thank you to all the staff that make it happen and look after our little ones when we can't!

Wonderful nursery, my daughter has been attending since 2 years old and she is now nearly 4! My son also started back in January and absolutely loves this nursery. Both settled extremely well and have built so much confidence. I will be sending my 3rd child too! My daughter has received so much help
with her speech and language and has developed so much. I thank the staff very much for their ongoing support.
As for the management team, I think they are so approachable and helpful. Every time I had a query it was solved professionally and quickly. As I said, exceptional managers and staff.

We moved to this nursery from another and it was like night and day. We are so pleased and so lucky to have such a wonderful place for our son to attend. The last year has been a challenging time for everyone but Little Learners have handled the situation amazingly. We have always felt confident in
their safety measures and care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Little Learners since 2 years old, and has just turned 3. Since starting at the nursery, she has developed so much in terms of her language skills, eating habits, and overall confidence in trying new things and making friends.
The staff at the nursery are so friendly
and professional, and the communication between staff and parents/carers, whether face to face or through email or phone, is always time-efficient and the staff seem to have a genuine passion for what they do and for caring for the children.
I've always felt the nursery has a unique feel to it, a real community and tight-knit spirit attached to it. Once we went to the open day and met the staff and saw the available activities and learning opportunities for our daughter, it ticked all of the boxes! We knew it was the perfect place.
Would highly recommend attending an opening day and considering this nursery for your child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Little Learners, Bromley for a year and a half and absolutely loves it there. If you are a first-time parent or a parent looking for a new nursery for your little one then all I can say is there is no need to think twice.
When my little one joined nursery, I was a first-time
mum, very anxious and unsure about what to expect and if I had made the right decision. Now I can definitely say that this was the best decision as the staff and facilities are excellent. So many activities to feed their curiosity, ensuring learning and development. The staff are so supportive, not only with learning but also in developing children’s social and emotional and all-round skills.
The key workers are always so supportive, informative and always provide practical feedback. It is great to see my son thriving at Little Learners. But most of all I know that I have peace of mind because my little one is safe and happy there.

5-star nursery!
I would definitely recommend to my friends, family and anyone who is looking for a brilliant/trustworthy nursery.
My child loves going to Little Leaners and has come on leaps and bounds, she’s also made new friends and good relationships with staff.
The staff are really welcoming
and calming for both children and parents, especially when you're a first-time mum.

Looking for a 1st class nursery setting for your little ones, then you won’t find better than Kindred Little Learners. I can’t recommend this nursery highly enough. My middle daughter attended here and my son is now in his 2nd year. At their most recent OFSTED inspection, they scored 1 across every
category and received excellence status. They operate for 50 weeks a year with only 1 week at Easter and 1 week at Xmas closed so their staff can have a well-earned break, which takes a huge pressure off working parents. Opening hours are 8am-6pm. Unlike so many other nurseries who have high staff turnover, at Kindred Little Learners their staff retention rate is superb. Therefore children have continuity of care and are able to build meaningful relationships with the teachers and staff throughout their preschool journey. Nothing is too much for the dedicated team that together make Kindred Little Learners a superb stimulating, educational and safe environment for our most precious little ones.

Amazingly friendly staff, they look after my child like their own. Always supportive of any medications I have prescribed from doctors for my daughter. They are an awesome team - always helpful, also provide visibility to child’s growth assessment, help with any details we like about the child about
their progress. They take childcare very proficiently and are the best I have come across so far.

We have been at Little Learners and it is a fantastic nursery.
The children enjoy every day that they are there. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the setting is beautiful and well maintained.
The learning through fun has had a significant impact on my children and I can see that they have
come on leaps and bounds.
Even during lockdown the nursery provided activities and videos to keep the children engaged and support parents during a very difficult time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot speak highly of this nursery. Since the day my son joined I’ve been nothing but impressed with the level of organisation, care and engaging activities. My son is always talking about his day and he knows all the members of staff.
I really like the way the two preschool rooms are allowed to
flow between each other allowing the children to experience the different activities.
It’s great that they have external visitors like police officers, dentists, doctors, etc. coming to speak to the children.
I’m always impressed with the detail in my son's progress folder when we have parents evening. You get the feeling that the staff really enjoy working there, from the management right down to the key workers.
Also compared to some overpriced nurseries around, it is amazing value for money!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I highly recommend this nursery. Both my son and my daughter have spent 3 years here (on a P/T basis) and have thrived. The nursery does all the important things really well. The standard and variety of food is very high. Phonics and writing are taught to the older children and there is a member of
staff who oversees learning. The outdoor space is well maintained. But above all, the quality of care is excellent and both my children have developed very strong relationships with the staff, the vast majority of whom have been there throughout the 4 years we have been attending (this is not the case at many private nurseries). This includes the management staff who are fully involved in the day to day life and are always on hand if you need to speak to them. We will be very sorry to leave Little Learners in September when my daughter starts school. We could not have asked for a better start for them and will always be grateful to the staff at Little Learners.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.826)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.826) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 9 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 4.780 for Kindred Little Learners Nursery and Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (100 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.78
  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 4.046 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred Little Learners Nursery and Pre-school is based on 9 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.7
    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. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 26 = 0.346
  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.
