Overall Experience

Friendly nursery. Varied meal times. Children still enjoy it. Communication slowing down, especially around transition to a different room and some senior staff have left but overall very happy. Nothing new to say

Very lovely nursery and staff, would highly recommend.

Suggestion, might be a few more outings for children... maybe safe guarding prevents. But before nursery was Kindred there were a lot of days out for the kids, which made for a unique experience.

Overall Experience

My daughter loves coming to nursery. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and patient, and the nursery are always flexible and helpful. It has been incredible to watch our daughter come on in leaps and bounds. Her development has been great to see. The staff in baby room have such genuine relationships with the children and when we mention them at home, our daughter's face lights up. The only challenge is getting her to leave at the end of the day. Thank you to everybody at Kindred Orpington.

Overall Experience

I cannot fault the staff at Kindred Orpington.

No question is too silly and no request is too much.

They are so attentive with the children & you can see the bonds each child has with the staff.

I am quite a worrisome parent, and the care my children receive & the updates throughout the day put my mind at rest.

All the staff, from the nursery teachers through to the nursery manager & deputy managers, genuinely care about the children.

They take their time to get to know the childrens personalities individually helping them through every obstacle and milestone.

Kindred Orpington is a wonderful nursery with a caring, diverse team that work hard to make sure the children are always happy.

Overall Experience

I'm happy with the level of care however I was very concerned by the lack of air con/ cooling facilities when it was hot. The air con unit in the entrance does not work and there is nothing in the rooms, I felt bad leaving her there for the day. Something needs to be done about this.

However the staff are lovely, my child enjoys the toys, food and leaders on their room

Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery at Kindred. Always comes home looking like shes had a great day playing and exploring. She eats well there and as parents we are kept well informed of all her actions throughout the day. I know all the staff are lovely but if I had one bit of advice it would be to introduce all the staff who would be in the room with her as i see faces I don't know a lot, but as I said they are all lovely. They've also been really accomodating with job changes and emergency pick ups by another member of our family. Couldn't recommend them more.

Review from J S (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending Kindred Orpington since March 2024 when she had just turned one.
Overall she is very well cared for and enjoys her time there. She often comes home saying or doing things we haven't taught her at home. She has formed a strong bond with her key worker from the Baby Room who still goes above and beyond for her, despite her now being in Toddler Room.
There have been a number of staff changes in Toddler room over recent months, however, the long term staff are excellent.

I look forward to our second baby starting there later in the year.

Our daughter has attended the nursery since they were 12months old. She is now 20 months old and attends 4 days a week. Every morning she is so excited to attend, she loves the food, her friends and most importantly the staff. She has formed lovely and close relationships with all the Kindred staff, they are caring, thoughtful and great communicators. The activities they arrange are varied and garden facilities are great.

I'm so pleased we chose Kindred as her nursery as she is thriving with their support!

Our daughter has been attending Kindred Orpington since April last year and she absolutely loves it, the staff are all super friendly and she has really bonded with a number of them. She has great fun every day doing different activities and often coming home very messy, which in my eyes is a sign of a day of fun!

It has made our nursery experience very easy and we are very happy with it.
