Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our first daughter went to Kindred Billericay Day Nursery and Pre-School (Buttsbury) from January 2020-2023 and our youngest joined from January 2023 to present and it is a wonderful place.
The staff are amazing, especially her key workers in the baby room and we have been fortunate the girls had
the same key worker - she is brilliant! All of the staff are so kind, caring and incredibly helpful and it was a no-brainer to send our youngest daughter to this nursery. Thank you to all the staff who have been involved and help all babies, toddlers to prepare them all for school. You have helped our children by making them, providing a safe and well-cared-for environment and making it one of the easiest decisions we have made for our girls.

My little girl has been attending since September 2023 and I’m so happy we decided to go with Kindred Billericay Day Nursery and Pre-School. The staff have been so lovely and attentive and great with all communication! I think that’s why she has settled in so well. It’s got a really lovely feel to it
and can’t fault anything!
Would absolutely recommend.

The staff go above and beyond caring for the children, my little one is so happy here and always tells me she ‘had a wonderful day.’ Communication is clear, the app is brilliant and there is always a warm welcome when dropping off. There is a lovely bond between the staff and children. The activities
the children do and the learning through play are second to none and I can see my child thriving here.

Our child has been at Kindred Billericay Day Nursery and Pre-School since she was 10 months old and we have had a fantastic experience the whole time. The staff are friendly and caring and always seem to have engaging activities prepared for the children. They always put on events for parents to take
part in so that they get to experience what it is like for the children at the nursery. The app is always kept up to date so you are aware of what your child is doing at nursery. Overall, we would highly recommend this nursery!

We have our son and daughter at the nursery and they have been an invaluable help to allow us to both continue to work and know they are in a safe and engaging environment.
It took some time for our son to settle with the separation but the team and the key workers particularly are focused on making
the children comfortable and to experience the best days in their care.
Our children come home and on each occasion talking about their various activities completed, showing off their craft work, writing or their songs.
Fantastic team with all our best interests at the forefront of their minds.

Review from Viola V (Mother of Child) published on 4 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been going to this nursery since she turned one, and she is now four years old. She has loved every minute of it.
Every member of staff genuinely cares about the well-being of our daughter -I cannot fault them.
My daughter has moved from the nursery to preschool, and there has been
no change in the care she received.
The communication with staff and us, the parents, has been second to none. We have been informed and involved in every aspect of her development. When it came to potty training, her key person helped orchestrate it and advised us on what to do at home.
With the seamless communication throughout the years, it really has felt like the nursery was an extension of home for our daughter.
She looks forward to going there every day and looks forward to telling us about what she gets up to in preschool.
We moved away two years ago, but because of how settled she was and how great the staff are, we have continued to make the 30-mile journey to drop her off every day.

Great parent's evening. We feel very assured by the care our son receives. We’ve kept our key worker as he moves into the next room. They’ve helped him with his sleep and feeding. He went at 10 months for two days a week and now at 16 months, his development is definitely positive due to his time at
nursery. It’s fab!

My goddaughter loves going to Kindred Billericay. She is always excited and happy when she is dropped off, doesn't even say goodbye. This just shows how comfortable she is. It's the same when I pick her up, ready to tell me about her day.
The variety of activities that the children do is exemplary.
Loves playing with her friends.
Thank you for providing such a safe, caring, friendly environment. You all do a fantastic job and I wouldn't want my goddaughter to grow and learn anywhere else.

My little one has been at Kindred since they were 7 months old and absolutely loves it. All the staff are caring and compassionate and will always contact you or speak to you if you have any concerns, the app they also use I find really helpful so you can see what your little one has been up to during
the day with what they’ve eaten when they’ve slept etc.
They do a wide range of activities with them and my little one always has so much fun here and has become so much more confident.
Highly recommend!

Our daughter has been attending since she was 6 months old and she is now due to start school in September. Nothing but positive things to say about the nursery and how it’s run. They always try to accommodate any extra days we may need, and always give us regular updates on how everything’s going.
The food they prepare for her is fantastic, with a variety of options we would never have thought to give her at home. My daughter will be very sad when she leaves for “big school.”

I cannot fault Kindred Billericay, my son has been going only one day a week for 6 months now and already in that time his confidence and development has really blossomed. The staff really take the time to get to know the children, it’s lovely to see the bonds that they have. The food is well organised,
varied and thought out, and I love that he comes home with arts and crafts to show us. He loves being outdoors and the outside space is just perfect for that. The staff are lovely and keen to work with parents to help their child’s development. It’s wonderful to see my little boy have such new and great experiences every day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been attending Kindred Nursery for over two years now and we are extremely happy with the level of care and service they supply.
The staff are very attentive to both the children and the parents, ensuring their needs are met and understood.
Communication with the nursery is quick
and efficient, with the use of an app, and generally, the nursery management will get back to you within an hour.
Our daughter has had some speech developmental delays and they have been excellent with sharing what strategies they are using to help her but also have been very interested and supportive with what the speech therapist is doing to ensure they can follow through those techniques in the nursery setting.
Finally, my daughter's key worker is outstanding and it’s so lovely to see the bond they have.
I would highly recommend this nursery setting for anyone who wants to give their child the best start in education and to be reassured of a high standard of care.

We couldnt be more happier with Kindred Billericay and the staff. The staff take the time to talk to you in the mornings and evenings and go through everything with your child. On the app we are sent the childrens food menus, activities, event days and even events to include parents to be apart off.
It's a wonderful nursery and I am so happy we chose this one. My daughter always comes home so happy. Thank you to everyone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.908)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.908) out of 10 for Kindred Billericay 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.908 for Kindred Billericay Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (316 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 347 Ratings = 4.908
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred Billericay Nursery and Pre-School is based on 29 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
