Our son loves nursery and happily goes in each day. They have regular focus weeks, at least once every 3 weeks, and this gives us specific feedback on how he is getting on. He has made friends and loves the nursery staff. We appreciate that there is plenty of outside space which is being constantly
improved and adjusted for the children in the nursery based on their interests. He has such variety to his day and is always keen to tell us something he is proud of or enjoyed from his day.

Couldn't be happier with the staff and vibe at kindred. My son loves going in to nursery everyday and I struggle to get him to want to leave most days. Staff are brilliant and very polite and considerate. Thanks to everyone that makes my son's day so easy and engaging. Awesome job.

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. Our daughter goes in happily waving goodbye to us. They do so many activities with the children and keep parents well informed. They listen to what's going on in your child's life and genuinely care about giving a good service. Would highly recommend the nursery.

I am so pleased my daughter attends this nursery. She was very clingy and apprehensive for the first few weeks, however, all the staff and especially her key worker have made her so comfortable and happy to attend in such a short space of time. I love seeing the picture and written updates that are
always so detailed - you can tell the staff really care about children.

We couldn't be happier with kindred. The staff are truly exceptional kind, and patient in every child's well-being and development. My daughter absolutely loves going each day and always comes home super happy.
The activities are creative, educational, and very fun. The nursery also does a fantastic
job of keeping parents informed with updates and photos, so we never feel out of the loop.
The facilities are clean, safe, and perfectly suited for little ones. We've seen such growth in our daughter's confidence, social skills, and curiosity since she started.
We highly recommend Kindred to any parent looking for a stimulating environment for their child.

My baby is really happy at this nursery. He has been going for a month now and never cried at handover, even putting his arms out to the staff. The staff update me using the app letting me know when he has slept, eaten or had his nappy changed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started at 12 months in January. I was really nervous about him starting nursery, but I shouldn't have been! His keyworker has been fantastic since day 1 and really helped both him and us settle into nursery.
The whole team are hugely responsive and caring to the individual needs of each child,
and has been fantastic with communication. The staff will happily message us as parents if we have any concerns (e.g. to reassure that my son is ok after a teary drop off) and the app is fantastic for keeping me up to date with what my son has been doing, seeing some photos etc.
My son has done plenty of outside play and messy play and generally had fun since he joined - we are really happy with the nursery.

My son started this nursery because we moved to another house and city.
It has not been easy for him to settle in, but after a couple of weeks, he settled in perfectly. Now he's going to nursery with a smile. Thank you all staff for helping him settle in.

My son always has a lovely day when attending, the staff are attentive, helpful and caring and always offer a range of fun activities for him to get stuck in too. The outside area is wonderful, especially for my son who is very much an active outdoorsy child! They have a sheltered outdoor classroom
and an open green area with a great range of toys.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending this setting since 2020. She absolutely adores exploring the outdoor area. Staff encourage and support her in making dens and making role-play scenes out of loose parts. I have thoroughly enjoyed feeling connected to the setting and updated on her learning and development
through the regular updates on their online system. The staff greet my daughter daily with so much compassion and warmth - allowing her to start her day feeling happy and safe. I receive feedback on how much she eats and she always enjoys her food that is cooked fresh on site. I always have a washing machine load to do at the end of the day which I personally find fantastic, as I know that mess equals fun.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter attended SNAP! for a few months before starting reception class.
The staff were always really nice and approachable. The on-line Tapestry system provided some nice progress reports.
She was happy there and made lots of friends. The outdoor area is probably the nicest feature, the kids
can run around, play safely, challenge themselves and form relationships. She always came back home covered in mud or paint, which shows they've been actively engaged.
The food and menus are very good, and she always complimented the lunches provided.
In short, we were really happy to entrust her there.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.622)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.622) out of 10 for Kindred Hauxton Nursery and Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 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 4.804 for Kindred Hauxton Nursery and Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (87 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.804
  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 4.818 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred Hauxton Nursery and Pre-school is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 49 number of registered child places is 9.8. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.8 = 0.918
  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.

Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2024

Hello, I'm Georgia, the Deputy Nursery Manager at Kindred Hauxton.


I began my journey in childcare back in 2018 after transitioning from a career in Adult Care. My previous experience ignited my passion for helping children reach their full potential and I'm thrilled to bring that enthusiasm to early years education.


I firmly believe in nurturing young children's mental wellbeing to give them the best start in life, which motivated me to achieve my Level 2 qualification in Children's and Young People's Mental Health. You will often see me participating in lively dance sessions or getting hands-on with messy play activities alongside the children.


Alongside being the deputy manager, I am also the setting's SENCO, ENCO and DSL.
