Kindred St Neots Nursery and Pre-school

Our little girl is thriving at Kindred St Neots Nursery and Pre-school and I could honestly write forever about how wonderful all the staff are. They make you feel like part of the family and truly care about the children, always looking for ways to enhance what they do. They take time to get to know the children and do what they can to personalise their experiences when in their care. In addition, they go above and beyond to help! Not long after starting, we had concerns about our daughter's development (nothing to do with the nursery!) and arranged a meeting with the team, I can honestly say they were incredible, ensuring she got the support she needed. Not only that, but they continued to help even after the initial meeting and provided us with both the practical, and emotional, support we needed! Kindred St Neots Nursery and Pre-school are amazing and we are so thankful for everything they do.

Brilliant nursery and pre-school - highly recommended. Lots of activities for the children, visits to the park and church, great learning environment. Nutritious food is served and with ideas and input from parents. We are kept informed and updated on our son's progress.

They are a very caring and enthusiastic team, lead by a fantastic management team. They always have time to talk and listen. There are plenty of opportunities to visit such as Mother’s Day/ Father’s Day teas. I couldn’t recommend Orchards enough.

My daughter has been attending Kindred St Neots Nursery and Pre-school since she was 9 months old, she is now nearly 4. All the staff have been brilliant with my daughter and I believe know my daughter and her personality well. Lovely when we see updates or when staff are chatty at the gate. When I had to attend a funeral last year, the manager was very accommodating and allowed my daughter to go in for a day that she doesn't usually attend so my partner and I could go to the funeral. When my daughter leaves to go to school in September, we will be sad to leave Kindred but believe Kindred have set her up well for school.

A fantastic nursery where they focus on supporting children through every development stage, making every day different and fun! Our son has been with the nursery for a year now and they have always provided great care and attention to him. We love the little extra touches, like the family cook-together boxes!

My little boy has attended Kindred St Neots Nursery and Pre-school from age 1 to 4 and during that whole time, the team and environment at Kindred has been fantastic. My little boy is highly sensitive but both me and him have always been listened to and he has always been treated as an individual. Nothing is ever too much trouble: my son needed to be held to fall asleep and needed to wear lots of layers to go outside due to cold sensitivity: no problem at all. Food is varied, healthy and nutritious and prepared freshly onsite. You are kept up to date on all training and development staff undertake and I was always impressed by this: safeguarding and accreditation, let alone their “outstanding” Ofsted result! My son comes home every day full of excitement about the new activities he has done that day: learning about nature, different cultures, managing emotions, arts and crafts, moving their body - the breadth of topics and how they are delivered is incredible. Highly recommend!

Fantastic nursery with lovely staff. Excellent communication with an app to keep you updated on your child’s day, including pictures. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others looking for care for their child.

My child has been so happy at Kindred St Neots Nursery and Pre-school. The staff are always very friendly and everyone knows him by name which is very nice. The variety of activities and food is great. We can't recommend it enough.

Visited a few events and witnessed first-hand how great the staff are with the kids and ours has come on leaps and bounds in their care.

This nursery has been superb for our 3-year-old for the last couple of years. I have seen her confidence, learning, and social skills grow significantly through the excellent team of people at Orchards. There are regular updates on progress, daily through the Kindred site, face to face, and by allowing parents in for activities and to share special days. There seems to be a great people focus at the nursery, my child runs into the nursery being so happy to go there and is always greeted with huge smiles and care that is obviously through the culture that has been created there. She always comes out happy and talks about what she's done that day. A good variety of food that is both nutritional but also helps our child to experience new flavours. Cannot recommend this place enough. It's the people that make it. The team is great.

I highly recommend this nursery and it’s been the best support for my family.

Orchards is a fantastic nursery and preschool due to the kind, caring, and warmhearted staff and creative learning ideas they have. It's a fun safe space for our child. I love how they include the parents and invite us in. Couldn't recommend them more. Don't ever change! Thank you!

We have lots of activities at home to support her learning and get regular feedback and photos which is always lovely to see her enjoying herself in the different activities during the day.

I can’t recommend Orchards enough. Our son started nursery a very shy little boy who would cling to me on drop off and get upset. Orchards couldn’t have done more to support both me and our son with the transition though. They tried different things to help him settle, sent me regular photos of him smiling and playing, and filled me with confidence on pick-ups telling me about all the things he’d been up to. He’s now been attending for a year and the difference in him is incredible. He gets excited to go to nursery and his development has come on leaps and bounds. I have complete trust in those who are looking after him and it’s clear to see how much they care for him. A fantastic nursery that has done wonders for our son.

My son attends the nursery 2 days per week and always comes out smiling when I pick him up after a day of varied activities. He has progressed greatly with his language and confidence in the last couple of months which has been helped along by the staff at the nursery. I am extremely happy with their care of my son.

For the last 3 years, we have entrusted both of our girls to the fantastic team at Little Orchards. When we moved to the area we made sure to look around all the nursery's in St Neots and Little Orchards stood out as our favourite.

It's a very well-run friendly place, as opposed to one of the larger units - which brings lots of benefits. Staff rotation is low, you get a warm welcome in the morning, daily feedback in the afternoon, they get fed really well and they've created a playful environment where our children have blossomed. Recently, they've doubled the size of their outdoor area by removing their car park - initially, I thought this was an impractical move - but when you pick them up on a Summers afternoon and got caught in a water pistol fight, you know it's a great place to be.

Thank you to all the great staff at Little Orchards and good luck in deciding your child's path.

The team are all very caring and the nursery has a lovely friendly atmosphere.

A Fantastic nursery with lovely caring attentive staff. My children have so much fun here and have learnt so much I couldn’t fault it. A really lovely setting for children to be nurtured and cared for I wouldn’t send my children anywhere else and I would highly recommend.

I have had two daughters attend the nursery from the age of 7 months. They were always happy and secure with staff and their development was always above what it needed to be. Staff are friendly and caring and invest time with getting to know a child and their carers. Generally, a varied assessment of activities and meals are cooked daily on site. Parents can contribute ideas on this.

A truly great nursery and highly recommended
