Kindred Hemel Hempstead is a nature-focused nursery where children have the space and freedom to explore, play, and grow. Set within a charming converted barn, the nursery features a large outdoor garden, including a vegetable patch where children can grow and harvest their own produce. There is also a dedicated baby garden, providing a calm and secure space for younger children to enjoy the outdoors.
Located just a short walk from Boxmoor Trust land, children benefit from regular outings to see local wildlife and take part in memorable experiences, such as watching sheep shearing. They also have access to a nearby apple orchard, where they can pick fresh fruit and connect with nature in a hands-on way.
The nursery values strong partnerships with parents, regularly welcoming families into the setting to share activities like music and storytelling, creating a warm and inclusive community.

My daughter loves to go to nursery. When I tell her that we are going to nursery she gets ready. I could see that the staff over there are looking over her very well. She has learned new things and she started asking for things. She is learning what is good and bad.

Thank you for your kind review. We are one big happy family at Kindred Hemel Hempstead, and we very much enjoy having both you and your daughter be a part of it. It's great to hear that she enjoyed coming to spend time with us in her home from home. Here's to us helping her to grow and thrive through the creation of many more moments of awe and wonder.

Our son has been at Kindred (previously Moor End) since May 2021 and he has thrived there. The staff have always been amazing, very supportive and I love that as a smaller nursery, our son (now almost 4) can go say hi to staff across the different rooms when he wants to, show them things he has made or just to see them, showing how happy and confident he is there. I have no issue in recommending the nursery to others, it is a lovely setting and feels as though they cater the different needs of the children to help them develop.

We cannot fault Kindred Hemel! Our little boy has been attending since he turned 1, and before that, our little girl attended the nursery for 3 years. The staff are wonderful - so caring and friendly. Our little boy has allergies so I was naturally very wary of leaving him in the care of others, but his care plan is brilliant and the staff fill me with confidence that he's in safe hands! Thank you all.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. How lucky are we to be a part of both your son and daughter's nursery journey, thank you for choosing us not once but twice. We are very proud of the team at Hemel, they are amazing, and we are so pleased you can see how caring they are. We have procedures in place to ensure that parents feel comfortable in allowing us to manage their child's allergies, like health care plans and colour-coded placemats, it's great to hear you know your son is in safe hands, that is all we want as parents is to know they are safe and well looked after.
Amazing members of staff, always happy and smiling, giving regular informative feedback about the children.
The app they use is also really helpful and informative.

The staff have been fantastic so far! Our daughter started in September this year after visiting the nursery a few times prior. Staff have always been welcoming to us and very attentive to the needs of our daughter.

My son is developing so well and learning so many new words every day. A big contribution to that is the nursery staff. They are very friendly and polite and I love their good energy. The nursery looks like a fairytale house and is located in a green and clean area.

I was very happy when the nursery had space for my third baby this year. Having a great experience previously, we didn't want him to go anywhere else. The Kindred Hemel Hempstead Nursery and Pre-School is great, the updates we get throughout the day are such a big help and we couldn't be happier...
I was very happy when the nursery had space for my third baby this year. Having a great experience previously, we didn't want him to go anywhere else. The Kindred Hemel Hempstead Nursery and Pre-School is great, the updates we get throughout the day are such a big help and we couldn't be happier with the friendly staff and the beautiful setting. As my clingiest child, he has settled quickly and I think that's because of the level of care the staff provide. Thank you.

My son started nursery this month and has settled really well. His face lights up when we pull up outside. When he started he hardly spoke and I've already seen such a difference in his speech. The staff are all so lovely, understanding and nurturing. I wish he had started sooner!

Absolutely lovely nursery. The staff are all very professional and so very caring. Personally, I have had lots of anxiety and stress around leaving my child to go back to work, and I wasn't happy with any childcare setting my husband and I had visited (both nurseries and childminders), until we went to Kindred Hemel Hempstead to have a look around and meet the staff. The staff truly do cater to all your child's (and the parents'!) needs. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parents or carers that are considering it.

Our little boy has been going to Kindred Hemel for 18 months now and adores it! It's a beautiful nursery to the side of a little farm with a lovely countryside setting. Our son is now in third room out of four and has enjoyed his time in each. The transitions between rooms have been really well managed, with lots of settling in sessions in the new environments with new leaders, and he always moves along with his friends. He loves to point at the staff photos and tell me who everyone is, and talks about them at home as well. The rooms are great, very spacious with lots of toys and activity stations. There is a big outdoor area with play every day weather permitting. He's developed and learned lots thanks to nursery, both academically and socially. We love to get his artwork sent home, and see updates of what he's been doing on the app. Thanks to everyone at Kindred!

Thank you for your kind review and for being a part of our Kindred family here at Hemel. It's our mission to ensure that all our little ones are cared for as if they were our own and we help them grow and thrive through the creation of moments of awe and wonder. Our setting certainly helps with this as we're so lucky to have the farm next door and have all the outside space we do available to us. Thank you for letting us be a part of your son's early years journey.

Our son has just started in the pre-school at Kindred after moving from upstairs. He has been finding the transition quite tricky. The staff have been amazing at helping him to settle and reassuring us as parents that all is okay by sending updates and photos throughout the day. When we go to pick him up, he has a big smile on his face and tells us all about his day. We're very pleased with the support that our son is getting and also the support we get as drop-offs have been quite emotional.

Thank you for your kind review. We understand that transitions and moving rooms for our little ones can be difficult but we will always put the children first and provide them the support they need to feel settled and happy whilst with is in their home from home. Communication with you as a parent is so important to us. Not only so that you have all the day-to-day information that you need for your little boy but also so you can feel supported and happy that he is ok with us once you have left him in our care. We love our app and how it allows us to send you a message and/or photo so quickly to show that everything is good and that he's settled and happy. Here's to him creating many more moments of awe and wonder so he can grow and thrive whilst he continues with us on his early years journey.
All the staff are wonderful, and the app makes it so easy to see what your child has been up to during the day!
Would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in the Hemel Boxmoor/Berkhampstead area!

Management are very visible and anything raised with them is responded to very quickly.
The main selling point for the nursery for us was the outdoor space, lovely garden and the trust land around it.
Only feedback we would have would be to have a better variation in food.
