Review from B P (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child goes in happily every morning, which gives me real peace of mind that she's well cared for. She enjoys the meals, and it's great to see such a healthy and delicious selection of food by the chef. The staff are super friendly, and we couldn't be happier with the level of care they provide.

She loves the outdoor space, has made wonderful friends, and always comes home happy. The app updates are a big help too, I really appreciate the detailed information on her day.

It would be great to see things like day trips, quarterly parents' evenings, and a larger indoor space for the 2+ group, but I understand improvements are already planned. Overall, a fantastic nursery and highly recommend!

My son started at hauxston nursery and he absolutely loves it. All the nursery workers are lovely and made him feel part of the family. They engage in so many activities and come home with lovely pictures too. He's settled in so well and really enjoys going

Overall Experience
We really like this nursery. I especially appreciate that the children spend a lot of time outside and have plenty of messy play, which is something that isn't always easy to allow at home.
Every time I pick my child up, he is happy and it's clear that he enjoys being there.

Thank you to the team for taking such good care of the children.

Overall Experience

Our daughter runs happily into nursery each morning. As working parents this gives us such peace of mind that she is happy there. The staff are warm and friendly, it is clear they know our child well. Staff plan great activities for the children and we feel our child is being well developed here. We are going to send our second child here too because we are pleased with the care. It offers Term Time only. The downside is the lack of space for preschoolers inside but this is compensated by the huge outdoor meadow in the summer time. Management are very responsive to queries. Would recommend if local.

Review from A J (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are so pleased we found Kindred Hauxton for our little girl. I couldn't imagine being happier with the staff looking after her or how she spends her days at nursery. I have complete peace of mind that she's having a great day, being exposed to different experiences daily in a safe, genuinely caring, family-feel environment. Staff are inventive, kind and really communicative. We love the personalised individual updates we get explaining what she's been up with pictures and the astute comments on her development.

She is always so happy heading out the door each morning to go to nursery - we couldn't ask for more!

My daughter loves going to Kindred Hauxton where she has been going for nearly a year. Sometimes a bit hesitant in the morning, but once she is in her room, she is very happy & made to feel very welcome. The staff are very attentive, positive, have great communication & she has developed a lot since she has been there. I would recommend Kindred Hauxton to anyone looking for a local nursery.

Overall Experience

My son has been there almost 12 months and the staff have really made an effort to comfort and support him and to get to know him. They have also taken an individual approach and have been on board with 'early potty training' as this was the norm for him at home and I am really grateful for this! Also lots of outdoor space and outdoor time. Would (and have) recommended the nursery.

Overall Experience

This is a lovely nursery and its greatest asset is the staff. Our little one likes every single one of them, and they are the reason she feels safe and happy there, which gives working parents real peace of mind. I was extremely anxious about leaving my little baby, but she is always well looked after and they simply know how to work with babies and toddlers.

Overall Experience

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.

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.

Reply from Emma Avery, Marketing Assistant at Kindred Hauxton Nursery and Pre-school

We are overjoyed to hear how your daughter has settled into her nursery environment, the team at Hauxton work so hard to build special bonds with all the children so they feel safe and secure. We love our app and how it can keep you updated throughout the day with everything your little one has been up to. Thank you so much for your lovely review.

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.

Review from D M (Mother of Child) published on 13 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 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.

Review from Charlie F (Father of Child) published on 28 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Jonathan W (Father of Child) published on 23 September 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Georgia White Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2024
Georgia White

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.
