Review from Tara M (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have two boys at this nursery and the support and care they provide for my children is incredible! Drop offs are seamless, both boys have dietary requirements that the nursery adhere to without question. The staff truly love my boys as if they are there own. I love the management staff - you can go to them with any issues and they are resolved quickly and smoothly. My eldest is in the pre-school room which is fantastic. They are doing an excellent job preparing them for school. My quite introverted 4 year old is now full of confidence and independence ready for school in the Autumn. Outside space is fantastic and the classrooms are well set up. This nursery is well worth a visit.

Thank you so much for such a heartfelt review. We're incredibly proud to hear how well supported both of your boys are and how confident your eldest has become as he prepares for school-that's a wonderful achievement. Creating a home from home where children feel truly loved, understood, and...

Overall Experience
My first child was there from 9 months all the way to pre school and he absolutely loved it and all the staff are extremely lovely and helpful. My second child also goes there, she is now 2 and is having a great time, doing lots of activities which I get regular updates through the app. These updates include monthly progress updates with detailed information on how they are getting on as well as focus areas if needed.

They get a good variety of different foods throughout the day.

Really happy with the service.

Overall Experience

The staff and Kindred Huntingdon are amazing, they have been welcoming from the start and everyone is always so friendly and willing to give their time if you need anything. They have given advice and suggestions with our food challenges, and have been patient and understanding when needed as well. We could not recommend the nursery enough. Our daughter loves going there, and speaks frequently about all her friends, both staff and peers.

Overall Experience

Son started pre-school with the nursery. He's been very poorly on and off with a lot of current issues but they've helped him settle in so well. Everyone is so welcoming and kind he has struggled with eating (still does) but is slowly getting there with their perseverance. Always happy when I take him and pick him up, he never ever has any issues and loves talking about his day with the lovely team and his friends.

Review from L N (Mother of Child) published on 31 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Kindred was amazing from the start with my first child, I was understandably worried to leave him for the first time but they were assuring from the off. When my second son started they continued to be supportive and informative. I have had a few invoice issues but they have been resolved fairly quickly, I did not receive sibling discount from the start of my second son starting as I didn't realise this was something that was offered, this was added and back dated when it was pointed out. Overall I would recommend kindred, the app is very good and you are kept updated throughout the day on food, naps, injuries and activities. The staff are friendly, the key workers do change often which can be frustrating but I understand this is not the nurseries fault. The food is freshly cooked and sounds great, however, they changed the menu recently and this has had a massive impact on how much my children are eating.

Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Huntingdon Nursery and Pre-school
Thank you for your balanced thoughtful review and recommendation. We're really pleased to hear that from the very beginning you felt reassured and supported, and that this continued when your second son joined us - especially during those important early transitions.

Overall Experience
My son at has been at kindred Huntingdon for the past 3 years and we couldn't be more positive about the place. The staff are just wonderful- our little boy is thriving and the staff are constantly finding new ways to teach him, and to help us when we need to work on things to aid him.
We love the resources and the creativity the staff bring in all they do with the children.
They also bring in great activities with outside instructors; dance classes and gymnastics, and yoga. Our little one loves to come home and show us all he's learnt.
We've had different challenges over the years and every time, the staff show up and do all they can to help. Be it with behaviour issues, or struggles as parents - we feel so looked after and I'd always recommend this nursery to others.

My son has such a beautiful connection with his peers and his practitioners. He's been so excited over the Christmas period with all they fun they've had and the amazing crafts he's brought home. It's just wonderful

Overall Experience

I have had a child go through Kindred Huntingdon from the baby room until the end of Pre-School. He loved the nursery and all of the staff were brilliant with him. He still comes with me to drop his sister off and all of the staff always take the time to ask him how school is and what he has been doing. He loves coming to see the staff and having a chat with them. The staff were brilliant through his pre-school experience and his keyworker on particular was fantastic, supporting him and encouraging him through the year and taking time to support him through drop off as he struggled to go in at times as he was getting upset.

My youngest is now in Learning Lane having been through the baby room. She loves nursery and is always happy to go and runs in very excited.

We have good communication from the staff and they keep the app updated which is nice as we can always see how their day is going when we check.

I would highly recommend Kindred Huntingdon.

As a mother of a little boy, I couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are warm, patient, and truly understand how to bring out the best in him. He runs in with a smile every morning and comes home full of stories and new skills. The environment is safe, nurturing, and full of opportunities to learn and play. It has been getting better and better since we joined about a year ago. Highly recommended!

We are really pleased with the care our daughter receives at the nursery.

She is always happy to go and loves sharing stories about the daily activities and her friends. Tinymites(?) are her absolute favourite. The staff are welcoming and supportive, always making time for questions. The detailed daily handovers and monthly reviews are excellent and show how attentive the team is. Highly recommended!

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at Kindred Brampton for 2.5 years and the experience has been entirely positive. The staff throughout have had her best interests at heart, welcoming at the start of the day and sharing details at the end.

Regular photos and updates are also amazing. They also do special events which our little one looks forward to (crazy hair day being her favourite!).

They have an amazing outside space which overlooks the field, with animals which the children can see

She also eats everything put in front of her (which isn't always the case at home!).

I would recommend kindred in a heartbeat!

Review from S A (Mother of Child) published on 1 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Kindred Nursery Huntingdon has been an incredible part of our family's journey. For the past 3 and a half years, they've cared for our eldest with such dedication, and over the last six months, our youngest has also thrived under their nurturing guidance.

From day one, the staff have shown genuine warmth, professionalism, and a deep understanding of each child's individual needs. It's been such a comfort to head to work each day knowing my children are not only safe, but happy, engaged, and truly cared for.

The team creates a joyful, stimulating environment where children can grow, learn, and build confidence. I've seen both of mine flourish socially and emotionally, and I couldn't be more grateful.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Kindred Nursery Huntingdon to any parent looking for a place where their child will be treated with kindness, respect, and love. They've been amazing-and we feel so lucky to have found them.

My sons now really enjoying kindred, he was naturally a bit emotional at drop off to start with but he's become really familiar and comfortable with the staff. I personally was really drawn to the outside space they have access to at kindred.

We appreciate the feedback given on observation weeks to see how he's getting on inside the nursery.

Review from H P (Mother of Child) published on 26 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My husband and I looked around the nursery a couple of times before sending our son here. As we had concerns about a previous nursery we had sent our eldest to.
We are so pleased we sent our son here as he has already achieved so many milestones even though he is 1. The staff members in the room are all super helpful and nothing is a problem they can't solve.
Our son loves going into the nursery and seeing his friends and the staff, he's also now very quick to crawl and join in any activities on offer.

We cannot wait to see what the remainder of his journey with the nursery is like.

Review from Kayleigh K (Mother of Child) published on 22 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We moved our son to Kindred in June 2023, following some serious issues at another local nursery. Since starting at Kindred our son has flourished and has grown into a confident and happy little boy. The nursery staff have been incredible with helping him overcome some behavioral issues, and are constantly adapting their approach with him to keep him engaged and content in his environment. He has formed some fantastic friendships and has a loving relationship with his key workers.

I really couldn't recommend this nursery enough, it's such a pleasure to see our child in such a nurturing setting.

Review from Georgia B (Mother of Child) published on 26 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Kindred Huntingdon Nursery & Pre-school has provided great flexibility and care for my son since he started nursery in 2021. I think it is really important that my son benefits from the social interaction and opportunities for development in a nursery setting. Kindred face the same difficulties that many nurseries face with the retention of staff. My son has not had a key worker attached to his journey for more than a few months at a time throughout his whole experience at nursery. This has had an impact, as my son has rarely enjoyed his nursery days and is often overwhelmed and doesn't want to go to nursery. The only time he has really flourished in nursery was when he was moved to a smaller room with more dedicated staff, who have sadly since moved on.

Fantastic nursery. We had a weird time with our son’s previous nursery with a lot of concerns, which is alarming for a relatively new parent, but not at Kindred. The staff are very accommodating and welcoming. Our son, with potential additional needs, is cared for above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend the family-feel staff enough. Rates are very reasonable. Your child will thrive.
