Over all time Kindred Rayleigh Nursery and Pre-school has 32 reviews.
I was incredibly anxious putting my 9-month-old into nursery but the staff couldn't do more to ease my worries; sending regular updates (with plenty of detail), photos and answering any questions I had.
They have gone above and beyond to help my child reach milestones which were raised as a concern in a health check and they did this without hesitation. Not only do they continue to assist with further milestones, they evidence this too and are so enthusiastic when these are met.
Friendly, caring, happy, enthusiastic, empathetic are just a few words I would use to describe the staff and they are the reason I can go to work and focus on my job as opposed to worrying about my child.
The fact my child always goes into nursery with a smile on their face quite frankly says it all!
We have had a very good experience with this nursery. For our daughter who has been with them for over a year now. Our daughter has shown amazing achievements and social skills. She loves going to the nursery and there has hardly been any fuss at drop off and she seems well settled when we get her back. The nursery staff also give us regular updates while she is at the nursery. The nursery as such is also a well-maintained place with a beautiful and large back garden.
Thank you for your kind review. It is wonderful to hear that your daughter loves spending time with her Kindred family and we love helping her develop, grow and thrive through all the many moments of awe and wonder that we help our little ones create. We love having as much outdoor space as we do...
If we have ever had to get in touch with the nursery about anything, it has always been handled professionally and we have been kept updated at all times. If anyone was to look for nursery recommendations, we would certainly recommend Kindred Rayleigh Nursery and Pre-school and continue to speak highly of this nursery.
We love what we do at Kindred Rayleigh and all the team will be pleased to hear that your son is so settled and happy with us in his home from home. We create a firm foundation for our little ones early years learning and it's through play and...
Since my daughter started attending during COVID restrictions, I cannot fault the staff here. I have been made to feel welcome as a parent, been kept up to date at all stages of my child’s progress and daily activities and most importantly, my daughter loves coming to nursery. The staff make great bonds with the children, which is evident from the moment we walk in the door each morning.
We love what we do at Kindred and we're so pleased that you can see this in how we care for the most important thing in your life. We are here to give all out little ones the best early years foundation that we can and we do this by helping them create moments of...
The staff are beyond fantastic – genuinely loving and caring towards the children, it’s so good to know your child is in the best hands while you are at work. The kids are always doing fun activities and are kept really busy. Our son's routine is well respected, communication and feedback is great.
Our son runs in the door now in the mornings and is so happy and confident – and we have no doubt this is in part due to the supportive environment they provide.
We would be quick to recommend Kindred Rayleigh to anyone looking for a caring, supportive, educational environment for their child.
We are so happy that your son is settled with us and as a result, you are content to leave him in our care. We are one big happy family at Kindred Rayleigh. As such we treat all our little ones as if they were our own. It's our mission to provide...
My son has recently started nursery and so far I am enjoying the experience. I was weary, at first, thinking he wasn't ready but every day he's been coming home with a smile on his face and maybe a new nursery rhyme or two he's learnt. The staff have been very friendly and good at putting my mind at ease about how he's doing. Cannot complain so far. The food he's eating is good and is helping mix up his palate. He seems to be loving the outside space (lovely big garden) and, as an only child, the social aspect for him has been lovely. His speech has come on leaps and bounds since he has been attending. Overall very good experience and would highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words and your recommendation. All the team at Kindred Rayleigh see ourselves as one big happy family and that is the atmosphere we strive for. We are that home from home where we care for your precious little ones and it is our mission to help them all grow and thrive.
We will definitely be sending our son here in the future and recommend to family and friends. Thank you again everyone at Kindred Rayleigh.
Thank you for your kind review. We are all one big happy family at Kindred Rayleigh and all the team will be so pleased to hear that your daughter is settled and happy as part of it. We love what we do and helping little ones explore and create moments of awe and wonder so they can grow and thrive...
The key workers are all amazing and communication is great. Since our daughter started at nursery we have seen her development take off, she loves the staff and has formed some great relationships with her fellow toddlers too.
Thank you for your kind review. Our mission at Kindred is to create inspiring worlds full of awe and wonder where little ones and grow and thrive and we are so pleased you can see this happening through your daughter's development. We are just one big happy family at Kindred Rayleigh.
Excellent nursery! My daughter has been going there for almost 2 years, she loves the staff and is always keen to tell me what she learnt today when she gets home. I looked at a lot of nurseries before I found this one and I'm so glad I found them. She has developed so much since going there and I can see the bond she has with staff members. Their communication is excellent and I can keep up to date with how she is getting on during each day. I know she'll be ready for school because she's been at Kindred.
Thank you so much for your kind review. The whole team at Kindred Rayleigh will be so pleased to hear your daughter has been so happy whilst in their home-from-home environment and within our Kindred family. We love being able to share on our parent app, the moments of awe and wonder that she's created so you can see her grow and thrive.
Our 13-month-old started nursery at Kindred Rayleigh in March this year. Before she started, my wife and I had all the worries I’m sure most parents have - whether she’d eat or sleep, how she’d react to such a big change, if she’d ever settle in etc. I’m pleased to say, however, that generally speaking she’s settled in really well, and this of course is all owing to Kindred Rayleigh and especially the amazing Curiosity Crescent Team. We can’t thank them enough for their expert care, and, whilst it’s early days still, it’s definitely had a noticeable impact on our 13-month-old's progress. Besides the care, we’ve been really impressed by the level of communication - the team always take the time to explain how the day has gone, and always have suggestions as to what they could try changing. As for during the day, the app is brilliant, and it’s so reassuring to see how she’s eating, sleeping etc. rather than waiting until pick-up. Really happy that we’ve chosen Kindred Rayleigh!
Thank you for taking the time to write your review. All the team at Kindred Rayleigh will be so pleased to hear that your little one has settled so well into our Kindred Family. We love what we do and we're glad it shows that we're here to inspire and nourish those moments of awe and wonder to help...
My daughter has been attending the nursery since 2020 and absolutely loves it. After looking at various nurseries I fell in love with Kindred Rayleigh because of the big smiles that greeted me in every room from children and staff and the facilities and outside space which are incredible. She started in the baby room which was like home from home with a sensory room which is excellent. She is now in the toddler room and she has a different adventure every day. Her development has come on leaps and bounds. The staff are so kind and caring and I highly recommend this nursery.
I have nothing but praise for Kindred Rayleigh. The staff are approachable and informative and my child loves going every day. I am constantly informed of my child’s progress and have seen his development come on so much since he has been attending.

Meet the Team (2)
Hello, I'm Abby and I have worked with children since 2009.
I qualified as a Level 3 when I was 17 having started as an apprentice. I progressed further in my career into a Room Leader role and was then honoured to step into management as the Deputy Manager where I strive to achieve the best for all our families.
I love working alongside parents and carers and making them feel comfortable leaving their most precious child with us. I absolutely love being a part of each child's journey and watching them grow and develop over their time spent with us. It never gets any easier saying goodbye when they start their new adventure at a big school.
Kindred continuously offer training opportunities to support my progression to achieve being the best I can be. I am now a mummy myself, and my little girl joins me in the Kindred family.
Hello, I'm Jodie and I have been working at Kindred Rayleigh for almost 7 years. I am passionate about Early Years Education, and this is the inspiration for me achieving my BA (Hons) in Early Years Education.
I have completed lots of other courses to further myself and provide our children with the best early years experience, some of which include Paediatric First Aid, Safeguarding, Safer Recruitment, Makaton, and Forest School Leader.
I believe a child's early years are the initial embers that spark a lifelong passion for learning. It's my privilege to share this time with both the children and our team every day.
