I cannot praise Kindred Boxmoor enough. My little boy loves it! All the staff are so friendly and approachable even towards siblings who do not attend. It really has an amazing personable family feel to it. So pleased we chose it and excited to see it though to pre school!

Overall Experience
Kindred has been an amazing nursery for our daughter. She is thriving there, all the staff are so wonderful and all contributing to her development. To see how far she has come is amazing.

She comes away telling us about her day, new stories or songs. They do so many activities and keep them busy all day. She recently moved to her new room, they made the adjustment so easy for her. She misses her old room, but still gets her warm hellos from previous corers. Kindred really was the best decision for us, we are so happy we found you. Our daughter loves her nursery days, and her nursery family.

Review from Amy B (Mother of Child) published on 22 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I cannot fault Kindred Hemel. From my son's very first day, the staff and management have been absolutely fantastic. Everyone is so compassionate and considerate, and genuinely cares about the little ones.

I was apprehensive when my son started, but seeing him fall in love with nursery helped immensely. He was very poorly when he started, and the team were incredible with their support and care, and they even got the class together to send a "get well soon" message! It's wonderful to watch him thrive, and I feel that Kindred is not just occupying him for the day, but really helping him learn and develop too. The food is brilliant, especially when it comes to allergies (it's a completely nut and grape free setting) and he'll try new and interesting things that he wouldn't dream of eating at home.

I'm so glad we picked Kindred Hemel for our son! Massive shout out to Amanda, Jade, Phoebe, Chloe, Janine and Rebecca for their unending support.

Review from Sian S (Mother of Child) published on 15 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I'm getting emotional just writing this My little boy started nursery in January 2025, and I was so nervous at first. The thought of leaving him somewhere new was overwhelming - but from the very beginning, Kindred made everything feel so easy. The warmth, care, and reassurance they gave me truly put my heart at ease.
What made the biggest difference was seeing how happy my little man was every single day. Watching him walk in with a smile, excited and confident, turned what could have been a scary transition into the most beautiful journey for both of us.
Kindred isn't just a nursery - it's one big, loving family. The love, joy, and genuine care that fill those rooms are beyond anything I could have hoped for. It's a place where children take their first steps into the world with freedom, support, and so much happiness.

If you're reading this and looking for somewhere special for your child - I would 100,000% recommend Kindred. They've given us memories I will always be grateful for.

Our child has been attending the nursery since April 2025 and we are consistently impressed and really happy with the nursery. Our son has learned so much since starting and we have very regular updates with photos of what he is doing. Every evening we get a detailed overview of how his day went. He is so happy at nursery and we love it!

Review from Nicola F (Mother of Child) published on 15 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter moved rooms and went into preschool. The nursery were really considerate of the changes for her and done a phased introduction into the room with the older children, had preschool staff work in the younger room occasionally so rapports could be built before the move. Worked really well and she settled into the class really quickly.

The staff can't do enough for you. Always ask how you are and check in with you when they see you. Such a relaxed atmosphere it makes me feel secure in the knowledge that my daughter is safe and in a happy environment

Overall Experience

Kindred completely changed my outlook on nurseries, being able to provide love, care, professionalism, communication, great activities, great food and an environment that makes my child always wanting to come in. Staff make you feel like your child is number one and its amazing to hear that every parent feels the same way, it's impressive to have that level of passion and dedication. My child has developed into an independent toddler whilst still getting the cuddles or nurture when needed, and it never feels like an inconvenience. I sing their praises to everyone and will continue to do so because they are just that good.

Review from Jennifer H (Mother of Child) published on 9 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I moved my son's nursery to here because we moved out of London. So he started his journey here in preschool. My son was met with such love , warmth and enthusiasm from the staff. They took time to get to know us as a family and know my son's personality and likes. They have made a super effort to make sure my son has settled in and made a group of new friends. They always provided us reassurance as parents and sent little updates in the early days. It is a busier nursery and the number of kids in preschool is a lot, even for me it's overwhelming, however it will prepare my son for school next year. They have made sure he maintains the confidence and independence he had from the previous nursery and he has flourished here. I enjoy the structure and learning they do with the kids. You can see how the children have a great attachment to the nursery staff and the lovely humbling special bonds they hold.

I would love to have more of a weekly blog and photos of their activities on the app

Review from Jade B (Mother of Child) published on 9 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As first-time parents, we visited lots of nurseries and thought we had found "the one"-until we discovered Kindred Hemel Hempstead. From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, and the outdoor space was miles ahead of anything else we'd seen.
Our little boy took a while to settle in, often crying at drop-off and collection. The staff quickly got to know him and realised how much he loves being outdoors. On tougher days, they made sure he spent extra time in the garden, which made such a difference. Shortly after starting, he had to have an operation, and we were so touched to receive a photo of his class holding a "get well soon" banner. It showed just how much they care.

Now, he happily walks into nursery-sometimes without even saying goodbye! In fact, we often face tantrums in the car park because he doesn't want to leave. The whole place has such a family feel, and it's so reassuring to know he's spending his day surrounded by love, cuddles, and care.

Kindred Hemel Hempstead has been the best decision for my little girl. They are warm and welcoming from the get-go and treat the children with such kindness and respect.
My little girl is so happy in their care and I have nothing but good things to say about them. I love how I can check the app to see what she's having at meal time (always very nutritious) and they keep you updated with naps etc.

They provide them with fun activities to do and have a lovely outdoor area that my little girl thoroughly enjoys.

Thanks to everyone at Kindred for working so hard to care for our little one's.

Having used another nursery for our first born, switching nurseries for our second child felt daunting, but it has turned out to be the best decision we made. The staff at Kindred are what makes it such an amazing place, all of them are warm and friendly and supportive of the children, they take a real interest in all of the children, and it feels like walking into a family home. We couldn't be happier with the nursery and would highly recommend to others.

The care our boy gets in Learning Lane is PHENOMENAL. The room lead and key worker is exactly who you want looking after a child. Really kind, super knowledgeable, organised, fun, and imaginative. We love picking him up and hearing all about his day. The other person who regularly looks after him in the room may be the sweetest person ever and is so genuinely excited with every little development our little guy makes.
