It takes a village but how do you start looking for one in a place you just moved to, with no family and friends? Kindred Shortlands was the answer for us. We chose to entrust our kids to them because of their warmth and dedication to the children. They have a wide range of activities where the...

We know how daunting it can be moving to a new area without the support of family and friends, so it is incredibly rewarding to hear that our nursery became part of your...

Kindred Shortlands is amazing! From day one, my daughter received such a warm welcome, and I felt reassured. The whole team (including those not in my daughter's room) is kind, understanding, and genuinely caring. Their values aren't just words-they're reflected in everything they do, creating a...
Note: My daughter joined at 15 months and is now 29 months.

Your kind words about our team mean a great deal. We're passionate about creating a caring, nurturing environment where children feel genuinely valued and supported, so it's wonderful to hear this reflected in your experience.
We're also glad you're enjoying the regular updates throughout the day and that you've been impressed with the food we provide. Mealtimes are such an important part of the nursery day, and we're pleased this has been a positive part of your child's experience.

I bring my granddaughter to Kindred 3 mornings a weeks she's always happy to go in which makes taking her there a pleasure. She is very fond of all of the teachers and has come on in leaps and bounds since starting there. Never having had a child or grandchild at nursery from such a young age before I have been astounded by how sociable and confident she has become. The teachers all take time at the beginning of the day to find out how the child has been and again at the end of the session to let you know how they've been with them, making you feel like your child is their absolute priority. My Granddaughter loves it there and that is a good enough review for me!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review.

Your kind words about her progress in confidence and sociability mean a great deal. Supporting children to grow, flourish, and develop important life skills through positive relationships and play is at the heart of everything we do.
We're also really pleased that you feel well informed during handovers at both the start and end of the day. Taking the time to share those moments with families is so important to us, as we truly value working in partnership with you.

Our son attended Kindred Shortlands the last 9 months. Seeing the warmth of the staff towards the children helped settle our early nerves. Every morning we dropped him off knowing that he will be taken good care of and it gives us immense joy to see how far he has come. He joined as a shy toddler and graduated as a confident pre-schooler. We would definitely recommend Kindred to any parents looking for a safe and loving nursery to leave their little ones in.

Very caring nursery, good facilities and really nice outdoor space. My child always seems happy with his day when he gets home. They are creative with the activities they do and encourage free play also so has a nice balance with some structure.
If I had to give an improvement point, I would say that the updates from the week could be better, sometimes there are a couple of weeks where we do not receive any written feedback or photos to show what the children have been doing. It would be good to receive something weekly, and even better something daily but I know that may be harder. There is an app that is updates so we can see when fed, slept and eaten, but would love to hear and see a bit more.

My daughter started at Kindred Shortlands almost 12 months ago and we're extremely pleased with our choice. The best I can describe them as, is an extension of our family; I feel they care and look after her as if she was a child of their own, taking an interest in her and her interests. They're flexible and pragmatic too, which is helpful given we're both in full time work and have no family nearby. She loves going and has been really settled there. We love the updates and can really see she is thriving. Thank you to the manager and team!

In terms of the setup, the place is spacious and full of character with great facilities for each room. The food is delicious and freshly made on-site. I can wholeheartedly recommend Kindred Shorthands to other parents.
My daughter is in babies and the staff are excellent. She loves going to nursery every day and has really developed into a chatty little independent girl. Her confidence has really grown and the staff in Babies are so kind and nurturing. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

Hello, my name is Lisa, and I am the Nursery Manager at Kindred Shortlands. I have been working in the Early Years since 2001 and have worked at this nursery since 2013, where I started as the Deputy Manager before becoming Manager in 2016. I hold a Level 3 Diploma & NVQ in Early Years Care and Education, and both a Level 3 & 5 in Management and Leadership.
I have a real passion for Early Years and the importance of creating an environment where the children are happy, confident, thriving and inspired through ‘awe and wonder’ while also creating strong parent partnerships where a parent/carer feels part of their child’s journey with us and is confident leaving their children.
Also important to me and alongside my staff team is creating a homely feel for the children and their families, as well as a working environment for the staff team where all are welcomed to be their individual selves and are encouraged and supported to achieve their career goals.
