Review from Francesca T (Mother of Child) published on 28 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little boy has been at Kindred since 2021 and we couldn't be more pleased with how he has developed, his care has been amazing and we can't thank all the staff enough for everything they have done for him. He runs in every morning and big smiles when we comes home, it is like a big happy family,
he will miss Kindred when he goes to school next year and he has simply had the best possible start thanks to all the love care and attention shown by all staff.
Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Waltham Abbey Nursery and Pre-SchoolThank you for your kind review. It warms our hearts to be hear that our little ones enjoy their time with us in their home from home. It is a privilege to have you all as part of our Kindred family and so enjoy being a part of your son's early years journey. May we continue to create many moments of awe and wonder over the coming months so he continues to grow and thrive and is ready for when his next big adventure comes.

Review from M R (Mother of Child) published on 25 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending this lovely nursery for over a year. He is safe, happy and extremely well cared for. We had a very in-depth tour of the nursery and was introduced to all staff who were all extremely happy. All staff who I deal with at pick up and drop off are friendly and aware of my son and
aware of his daily activities and how his well-being has been throughout the day. There is a varied menu for the children which is also updated on the app daily so I am aware of what my son has eaten throughout the day. The app is a fantastic resource that the Nursery use. This is a fast and interactive way to keep the parents updated. I also receive weekly observations, I am aware of where my child is with his development and the expectations of the nursery and also the next steps in order to support him for the future. My son thoroughly enjoyed going to Nursery and I am extremely happy with his progression and development over the past year. I couldn't recommend this Nursery enough.
Reply from Emma Avery, Marketing Assistant at Kindred Waltham Abbey Nursery and Pre-SchoolThank you for your lovely review, as parents all we want is to know our children are safe and happy.

We love our app and how it can keep you informed about everything your little one is up to during the day and keeping you updated with your son's development. Thank you for wonderful recommendation.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.962)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.962) out of 10 for Kindred Waltham Abbey Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.962 for Kindred Waltham Abbey Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (255 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.962
  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 Waltham Abbey Nursery and Pre-School is based on 22 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 22 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.
