The manager and her team are absolutely amazing and do everything to make the nursery feel like a warm and loving second home for the children. We moved our daughter to whitton day nursery after a bad experience elsewhere and she immediately was made to feel very welcome from the minute she walked through
the door. She has made lots of friends and enjoyed every minute of her time there which as parents has made things a lot easier for us. The staff are very friendly, very approachable and put the needs of the children first. What the facility lacks in space compared to some other nurseries, is more than made up for by the staff and wider community, allowing all the children to thrive.


Can't recommend it more highly.

Our family has been part of the nursery for the past six years, and we couldn't be more grateful for the care and support both of our children have received. The staff are incredibly nurturing, taking time to know each child and helping them grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence.


The environment

is warm, welcoming, and truly feels like a second home. Our children have loved the engaging activities and the encouragement to explore and learn through play. Communication has always been excellent, keeping us involved and reassured every step of the way.


We'll always be grateful to Kindred Whitton for the role they've played in our children's early years.

My daughter has been at Kindred since Jan 25 and is absolutely thriving. She eats well and plays well. Sometimes she refuses to sleep though, I think because she's too excited. I've noticed my daughter is more comfortable around her older cousins nowadays and I'd put this down to her experience at nursery.
I've been most impressed by the staff. A real sense of care and commitment really shines through. I feel very comfortable leaving my daughter in their capable hands. Thanks very much, team!

Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Whitton Nursery and Pre-School

Thank you for your kind review. It's wonderful to hear that your daughter is thriving with us at Kindred. Watching little ones grow in confidence, especially around new friends and family, is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. We completely understand that sometimes sleep takes a back seat to the awe and wonder of discovering new things each day, that curiosity is something we love to nurture. Your kind words about our team mean a lot, and we're so grateful for the trust you've placed in us. We look forward to continuing this journey with you and your daughter.

The manager and her team are most wonderful, my daughter is now sad to leave to go home every evenings!


We have noticed that since my daughter has been attending she has learnt many new skills, expressions and physicality. She's even more vocal and not afraid to express herself.


Specifically,

as parents we actually learn more about her when she starts interacting with others. It is probably the best decision we made amongst other nurseries in the area.


She eats so well and love all the food at the nursery and we really can't compete with that at home. This is a true little gem of Whitton and sincerely recommend to new parents or any parents who would want their kids to have plenty of fun and shine. Thank you the manager and everyone there!

Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Whitton Nursery and Pre-School

It truly fills us with awe and wonder to witness each child's unique journey of growth and discovery, and it's a privilege to be part of your daughter's. Knowing that she's eager to come in each day, and sometimes even sad to leave, is one of the greatest compliments we could receive. We're delighted to hear how much her confidence, communication, and curiosity have blossomed.Creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe to express themselves, learn new skills, and build meaningful connections is at the core of what we do. And of course, mealtimes are just as important, so we're thrilled that she's enjoying her food with us too!Thank you for trusting us with this important chapter of your daughter's early years. Your kind words mean the world to our entire team, and we look forward to many more moments of awe and wonder together.

Our son joined Kindred Whitton for his pre-school year. It is perfect for him, he settled quickly and staff are caring and knowledgeable. He has picked up lots of different skills since joining the nursery and we are very happy with our choice.

We have always been extremely happy with the care provided to our child at Kindred Whitton! The staff take great time to get to know your child so well and provide lots of learning opportunities for them through play and fun. They do lots of messy play, story time, outside play and singing/dancing.
I love that every day is so varied and fun filled for him! I am always particularly impressed by the varied food menu and the quality of the meals. We love it so much that we have signed up our second child to start very soon. The nursery has a very family feel about it!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.807)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.807) out of 10 for Kindred Whitton Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.907 for Kindred Whitton Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (100 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.907

  • b) 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred Whitton 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:

    • i) 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9

    • ii) 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Bex Halden

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Hello, my name is Bex. I graduated from St Mary's University with a BA in Drama alongside Primary Teaching in 2005. Soon after I took a part-time job at the Whitton Nursery and never left! I have always had a love of children, and this love inspired me to complete my Early Years Professional Status in 2007 at Kingston University.

My love of children and drama complement each other, and I love to act out well-known stories with the children. My favourite authors are Julia Donaldson and Michael Rosen.

Being a part of the Kindred Family is an exciting adventure and we will continue to explore.
