Kindred Waltham Abbey Nursery and Pre-School

Kindred Waltham Abbey is lovely. Baby staff when our son started in 2023 had a fantastic team - he was loved very much and cared for with much care.

I believe it's one of the best or only best nursery within Waltham Abbey.

The outside area can be improved to make it more natural and also build overhead shelter to protect children from sun. A lot can be done to the gardens. But inside rooms have been carefully thought of and promote non plastic as much as possible.

They try to expose all children to a range of key learning. I would say that with everything going on to be mindful of inclusion and St. George's day my son came home with the flag and wasn't sure how I felt about that knowing that the flag stands for something that seems to be promoting exclusivity.

But overall I have been happy and comfortable for my son to be apart of the nursery and the centre manager is fab!

The staff are very friendly and seem professional in the way the care for the children. My daughter is very happy at nursery and has learnt so much since she started. Jen and Imogen have been amazing with their updates on how Myla has got on an and the rest of the team have been fab.

great facilties and outdoor space good food always on hand if need help also takes funding

Kindred Waltham Abbey is an amazing day nursery and pre-school. They have helped my daughter and soon will be taken on my little boy. They go above and beyond and have made my daughter feel so special and make her laugh. She loves going into school and it is a pleasure to see as she has bad attachment with me. They come out to see my little boy who will be starting in may and they make me feel so comfortable as a parent leaving my children.

The environment is bright, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with engaging play areas that spark creativity and curiosity. Every day she comes home excited to tell us about the activities she's enjoyed-whether it's arts and crafts, singing songs, story time, or outdoor play. The balance between structured learning and free play is perfect for her age, helping her build confidence while having so much fun.

We've seen such positive growth in her communication skills, independence, and social confidence since she started. She has formed lovely friendships and speaks so fondly of her teachers, which reassures us that she feels safe and happy there.

Absolutely amazing nursery! The staff are so lovely, kind, and genuinely caring. My child absolutely loves going in every day, which says everything. The environment is warm, welcoming, and supportive, and it's clear how much effort they put into each child's happiness and development. I honestly couldn't fault them in any way. Such an incredible team - we're so grateful for everything they do.

Very happy and would highly recommend!

Great nursery. I haven't had any reservations about my kids being under the care here as they have both been happy at the nursery. Very friendly staff and excellent nursery manager. Always helpful and caring. Highly recommend.

My daughter attends Kindred Waltham Abbey and she loves it! She can't wait to go in and see the staff and play with them. She enjoys the food and there is alot of it throughout the day. The children do a range of structured activities as well as have time to play freely. My daughter loves stories and songs and often she will come home singing songs or retelling stories she has read at nursery. The app is useful to keep parents updated throughout the day with her nap times, food updates and nappy changes. I have and would recommend this nursery to other families.

We are very happy with the care she receives and truly appreciate everything the team does.

My daughter has been there since she was 8 months old and she is now 3 1/2 and thriving. The staff have always been very polite caring and informative. My daughter always struggles at drop off (just how she is) and they are always on hand to give her cuddles and comfort. They are always doing fun things such as yoga etc. Special mention to Shanice, Sydney, Sarah, Sadie, Nicola and Gemma. All have been brilliant looking after my special girl throughout the years! Would highly recommend.

I have not ran into any major issues, I am always upto date , given plenty of notice for picture day. I have no complaints! Management welcoming and approachable and most importantly knows the children.

My Daughter has been at Kindred in since September and she absolutely loves it! She's always asking for Nicola :) she's just so genuinely happy to go, it a huge relief knowing she's making happy memories and completely safe with all the amazing staff there x

My daughter has been at Kindred now for 2 years and we always had a very good and positive experience.

Every question is answered and we have always felt reassured that our daughter is well cared and looked after.

And most importantly she really enjoys going to nursery.

My daughter has been going to this nursery since the beginning of this year and I am really pleased with her progress. The staff are so lovely and really seem to care and show her so much love and attention. She doesn't seem to be behind in anything and is learning so much and nursery is bringing out her personality.

One thing I would like more of is a bit more interaction on the app, maybe some more pictures as I feel like it has slowed down since when she first started but other than that I cannot fault anything.

Everything at the nursery is clean and tidy, staff well presented and polite. Manager is lovely and helpful.

My son has been at Kindred for 4 months now and he absolutely loves it! All the staff are lovely and welcoming. My son has already built good relationships with the ladies in his room. We are really happy with everything, especially the activities and the food supplied. Would highly recommend

All the staff are great and very caring towards the children. As a first time mother, I had a lot of doubts and worries before signing up to a nursery but so glad it's Kindred. She has been learning a lot and enjoys every moment.

As a family, we couldn't recommend Kindred more highly. The communication is always warm and personal, and the wonderful activities keep our children excited to go each day.

Since starting at this nursery, the staff have welcomed my son with open arms and a friendly smile. All staff that greet us at the door know who my son is and are able to answer anything that I ask. He thoroughly enjoys going to nursery and is happy all day.

Very pleased with all!
