Since my daughter has been at the nursery her development has really improved. She seems really happy with her keyworker and adults in the room, they have helped her to build confidence and core skills. We loved the picture updates at the start, it would be great to have more now she is a little bit
older.

This nursery is a hidden gem, we are so pleased this nursery was recommended to us.
We moved our toddler to this nursery in March and it's been amazing for him.
The managers are incredible from the moment you onboard, they are thorough and consistent with their personalised approach. The staff and
our key worker are excellent, where they really go above and beyond to understand the child, providing a nurturing but fun environment allowing the children to really thrive with their learning and development. The app updates are also really good!
The indoor facilities are fantastic, with also a huge outdoor space with purposeful areas, including an outdoor climbing frame, a mud kitchen and a soft play area.
We wish we knew about this nursery earlier!

My son has just started nursery and they have been great at accommodating and supporting his schedule. At the end of the day, they will also take the time to update me on his day and what he has enjoyed. I'm really grateful for how supportive and smooth they have made the transition from him being home

Both of my children attend Kindred and have been since they were babies. My eldest will leave for school this year.
I have complete faith in the staff and trust them completely in looking after my children. They have helped raise them to be happy and confident little humans. They take great care in
making sure they have lovely food, and so many great activities, and love to play outside in their amazing outdoor areas. I would recommend it to anyone.

Our 10-month-old started at Kindred Nursery at the beginning of the month and so far we have had such a positive experience. The staff have eased our minds with providing regular updates about his naps, eating, and any activities he gets up to throughout the day using the app as well as giving us reassurance
at pick-up time that he is settling in well and is getting used to his key workers. Really happy with our experience with Kindred Nursery so far!

Excellent nursery - all 3 of my children had been super happy and enjoyed their years at this nursery. We moved our eldest here after leaving our London nursery and the difference was huge.

My son started in April 2024 when he was 11 months old. He settled in within a few weeks as he only does 2 days a week. I love how every time I drop my son off I get greeted with a smile and hello by everyone, all of the staff are really friendly. There are lots of activities they do with the children,
ones you wouldn't do yourself at home. I really recommend this nursery because it feels like a home, it's relaxed, warm and not too plastic/overstimulating like some other nurseries I have visited. It would benefit from being a little more tidy/organised and maybe more variety with snacks/meals. But I keep seeing improvements so they are all working hard to make it amazing! Thank you everyone!

Our daughter has been attending the nursery since she turned one. She absolutely loves going and has had excellent care from all the staff that have looked after her. The nursery has a variety of different outdoor spaces which suit all weather and abilities. The environment is calm with no mass of broken
plastic toys. The effort put into activities exceeds any nursery we have put our children in. There are music and dancing sessions and the nursery have even organised special animal days where petting zoos come into nursery. The staff also create beautiful dioramas and activity tables for the children to engage in and fire their imaginations. I would strongly recommend the nursery to any parent.

My grandson who is now 3 started nursery as a 1-year-old and absolutely loves being at Kindred. The team are amazing and so friendly, caring and enthusiastic. When I occasionally collect him at the end of the day they are so welcoming and update me on everything he has done during the day. They have
been so supportive of him and meeting his individual needs. The outdoor space and activities are great and suit him perfectly - he would be outdoors all day if he could! Cannot recommend Kindred highly enough, the team at Wheathampstead are second to none!

The nursery staff are incredibly welcoming and it is evident that they care about every child's well-being and enjoyment whilst on their journey at the nursery.
Staff are always there to discuss your child's day and needs if you wish. Our child enjoys the nursery so much that he just can't wait to
get through the door.
Safeguarding at the nursery is excellent and I always feel my child is safe and well looked after.
The activities they provide are varied from indoor and outdoor activities suiting a wide variety of children's needs. The outdoor space is fantastic and the equipment helps the children's development in all areas.
The food is also another strength, it's well-planned, and balanced and meets the nutritional of growing little ones.
There is no better feeling than knowing your child is supported in their development, is safe, cared for, and is happy in the environment. I recommend this nursery to many parents as I simply cannot fault it.

Wonderful Place for Little Ones!
We couldn't be happier with Kindred! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by warm, friendly staff who clearly love what they do. The environment is bright, clean, and full of engaging activities that keep the children excited to learn and play. Our child has
blossomed since starting here, developing not only social skills but also a love for learning that has been encouraged through creative play, storytelling, and outdoor exploration.
We also love the emphasis on social development, with plenty of opportunities for the children to build friendships and learn cooperation.
We feel so fortunate to have found Kindred and would recommend it to any parent looking for a caring, stimulating, and safe environment for their child. It's truly a special place!

My son has been attending Kindred Wheathampstead for nearly a year. He started in the baby room and is now in the toddler room. The staff have been very supportive of his development.

My daughter has recently transitioned to the nursery and we could not be happier with Kindred. The staff have gone out of their way to help her (and us!) to settle, providing lots of helpful updates and advice. Our daughter has readjusted to the new setting and an older room much quicker than we were
expecting, which I believe is largely due to the warm, kind and professional approach of the management team and carers. My daughter excitedly gets ready each morning, knows the names of many of her carers and peers, and is singing new songs each day. The outdoor spaces at Kindred are phenomenal. The children are often outside in one of the 4-5 outdoor areas engaging in outdoor or messy play. We also love the hosted activities such as Tiny Mites and ball games instructors. We are able to keep an eye over our daughter's day via the app. The fees are very reasonable given the high quality of care and inclusions (food, nappies, activities, spare clothes). Thank you Kindred!

I don't even know how to express the gratitude that I have for the team at Kindred Wheathampstead. The team have always gone above and beyond to not only help my boys to settle, but to thrive in their care. Their approach is completely tailored to each individual child, and they really listen with interest
to us as their parents.
The amount of outdoor space is amazing and I love that my boys are outside as much as possible.
It's such a relief to go to work without having to worry about either of them, as I know they're in safe and loving hands. I couldn't ask for anyone better to be looking after them both.
The staff are always there to answer any questions and do so in such a positive and personal way, I really can't thank them or the team enough.

Love, love, love! The team at Kindred Wheathampstead are amazing. They're very friendly and everyone greets you with enthusiasm. My little girl started when she was 1 year old. She hated being dropped off at first but after just a few weeks she soon started throwing herself at the staff with a beaming
smile as she's so excited to be there! She's developed so much with them in such a short time, it's lovely to see. She's becoming more and more confident (and sassier if that was even possible haha!). We're kept updated with some of the activities they do and can see how much fun she's having. She doesn't always want to come home! I don't have any anxiety about leaving her whilst I'm at work as I know she's in safe hands there. The management are also very hands-on which is refreshing and they're more than happy to help where they can. Really can't fault them.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.910) out of 10 for Kindred Wheathampstead Nursery and Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.910 for Kindred Wheathampstead Nursery and Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (284 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 310 Ratings = 4.91
  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 Wheathampstead Nursery and Pre-school is based on 26 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 26 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.

Jodie Phin

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2020

Hello, my name is Jodie.


I started my journey in childcare at Wheathampstead as an unqualified practitioner in 2020 and have since completed my Level 3 Early Years qualification resulting in me becoming the Room Leader of pre-school. In September 2023 I became Deputy Manager, and in April 2024 the Nursery Manager.


I am passionate about SEND and enjoy supporting the staff with ways to elevate the children's learning and development. In 2022 I became the Senco for the nursery and have implemented new methods and support within the setting. I put my all into getting the correct support for children with SEND, having great communication and partnerships with the parents.


I love watching children grow and develop and knowing that I have been part of their journey feels very rewarding.

Amy Matthews

Job Title: Deputy Nursery Manager Joined: 2022

Hello, my name is Amy.
I have been working in Childcare since I finished college at age 18.


I have recently worked in a Nursery for 16 years before moving to Kindred Wheathampstead in December 2022. I started as Room Manager in the Baby room before being promoted to Deputy Manager in March 2024. I am really enjoying learning new skills and having more responsibilities within the Nursery. I have worked with children aged from 3 months to 5 years but my passion is definitely working with babies as I find that they are all individuals and it’s amazing watching them develop as they grow up.


In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, especially my seven-year-old nephew, he loves football just as much as I do. I am looking forward to many more years here at Kindred Wheathampstead, extending my knowledge in my Childcare career.
