Caring and proactive team, makes our daughter feel excited to be there and she learns so much from playing with the staff and other children, and misses her friends on the evenings / weekends! They have a separate space for the youngest children, and the mid/oldest are partly divided, but they also make a great community and progression by letting some mixing between stages. We are glad we made the right choice in picking Kindred!

Our nearly 2-year old son had a lovely time at Kindred. We had to move away from Cambridge for work reasons, but months later, he still talks about his friends and his favourite staff members there! We enjoyed the emphasis on learning, and being at Kindred did wonders for his confidence and personal development. The app was great for keeping track of what the children were doing on any one day, and allowed us to ask questions and get a quick response. Overall, we highly recommend Kindred to any parent.

Thank you so much for sharing your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that your son had such a positive experience at Kindred. It's truly a joy and a source of awe and wonder for us to see the children grow in confidence, form friendships, and develop new skills.We're delighted that the nursery felt like a home from home for him and that our app helped keep you connected to his days. Knowing he still fondly remembers his friends and favourite staff warms our hearts.
Thank you again for recommending Kindred - it means so much to our team!

We only had the pleasure of sending our daughter to Kindred for three months before relocating, but in that short time it became such a special place for her and for us. From the very first day, her key worker was fantastic, so caring, patient, and attentive, and it was clear she truly understood our daughter's needs and personality. All of the staff were equally wonderful, always sweet, welcoming, and understanding.
Our daughter was genuinely excited to go to nursery every morning, and she was very happy when she saw her key worker and the rest of the team. The warmth, safety, and joy they created made such a difference, and we are so grateful she was able to experience that, even for a short while. If we hadn't moved, we would have been thrilled for her to stay there much longer. Thank you to everyone at Kindred for giving her such a happy start.

Our team is passionate about creating an environment filled with warmth, safety, and joy, and it's wonderful to know that your daughter felt so happy and excited to come each day.We believe early childhood should be a time of awe and wonder, where every child feels truly seen, understood, and supported - and we're so glad your daughter experienced that with us. Although we're sad you couldn't stay longer, we're grateful to have been part of her journey and wish her all the best in her new adventure.

We especially loved the variety of activities that encouraged his curiosity and development. It was amazing to see how well he was cared for and how much he enjoyed his time there. We also appreciated receiving daily updates with several photos, which made us feel connected to his experiences.
Even after moving away, he still talks about his friends, which speaks to the lasting impact they had on him. We would highly recommend Kindred Cambridge to any family!
Thank you for you kind review and recommendation. It was a pleasure to have you all as part of our family here at Kindred Cambridge. We love what we do and being a part of our little ones early years journeys is true privilege. Helping them to grow and thrive through the creation of moments of awe and wonder is so special. We wish you all the best.
Kindred has been a wonderful part of our lives since our daughter started in Curiosity Crescent at 9 months (2 years ago). Since she has been there she has developed strong positive relationships with all the staff and she is happy to see them and all the different activities planned every day. We...
Communication from the team is very regular and clear, our daughter has personalised reports on her progress that are reassuring and helpful. The range of activities is endlessly varied and includes even going on outings to the playground and having visits from the gymnastic teacher and small animals which our daughter loved. Thank you to all the staff who made it happen.

Our daughter started at Kindred in September last year. The settling in process was managed very carefully and our daughter settled in very well. She is almost 2, but despite being so young, constantly talks excitedly about her key person. She loves the nursery and we are consistently impressed by the care of the staff, the attentive management, the facilities and activities, and the communication with parents. We would highly recommend Kindred Cambridge and our daughter is very happy there.

Thank you for your wonderful review. We are pleased you are happy with our settling in process, this is a big transition for little ones and their parents, so we always ensure we go at the family's pace to make this transition as smoothly as possible. Its lovely to hear how well this worked for your daughter and she settled quickly into her new environment. The team work so hard at Kindred Cambridge to ensure we do all we can to support you by keeping you updated through the app about everything your little one is up to during the day, by building amazing bonds with your children and creating activities to encourage those wonderful awe and wonder moments. Thank you for your recommendation and for choosing Kindred Cambridge.
We have nothing but wonderful things to say about the staff and nursery, Kindred. Our son has grown up there and has enjoyed every one of the different rooms. Now he is in the "big boy room" and he learns so much every day. They do wonderful learning activities throughout the weeks around topics...
The team offer support with all sorts of things - potty training, picky eating, difficult behaviours and more. If I ever feel like I am at a loss I know I can speak with my son's key worker and she will offer suggestions and support. She is very knowledgeable and experienced and this shows in the care and support she gives my son and the family.

Thank you for your kind review and so being a part of our family here at Kindred Cambridge. We are one big happy family and we love that we can offer all out children a home from home environment where they feel safe and confident to grow and thrive. Our App is wonderful in allowing open communication with our parents and we strive to share all we can so that you can see that your son has had a wonderful day with all the fun activities we have done. Here's to creating many more moments of awe and wonder in the "big boy room".
The nursery...
The nursery have been easy to communicate with via the (excellent) App- we receive lots of photos showing all the incredibly creative activities she does each day. There seems to be a really low staff turnover rate here compared to other places which I think has helped her form strong bonds with staff members. I would recommend this nursery to friends and family.

Thank you for your kind review and recommendation. It is wonderful to hear that your daughter has settled with us in our Kindred family here at Cambridge and that you as her parent are also happy leaving her in our care. Communication is paramount and we love our App and how it allows two way conversations alongside face to face handovers. We look forward to helping your little one continue to grow and thrive through the creation of many moments of awe and wonder.

All three of our children have been to Kindred (and Sunflower before it became Kindred). We have had a consistently good experience and would highly recommend it to others. We have built a strong relationship with the staff over the years, and the level of care and provision is highly satisfactory. All of our children have enjoyed going to nursery.
Thank you for choosing us for all three of your children's nursery journeys, how lucky are we! We are pleased to hear that you had a good experience, and you know your little ones have all enjoyed going to nursery and received a high level of care. Thank you for your lovely review and recommendation.

My two kids have wonderful staff that they made connections with, they always felt safe and cared for. And the food was brilliant!
I only scored the outdoor space a litter lower than everything else as it is on the small size, but it's got plenty to play with and their rotated activities enough to keep the kids entertained. The staff also take the older kids out to the playgrounds down the road, which also helps teach them about road safety all together as well.

Thank you for choosing us for both of your children's nursery journeys. We always ensure that we provide children with opportunities to learn about the world around them and ensure we are inclusive to everyone, we do this by creating activities full of awe and wonder. We are pleased you liked our food, our chefs work hard on our accredited menu to ensure they cater for every child and their dietary needs while making sure the food is super tasty. It is lovely to hear how both your children made connections with the staff and that you knew they were safe and cared for, this is all we want as parents, and we treat every child as if they are our own. Thank you for your lovely review and we hope your children are enjoying being at big school.
The nursery is fantastic. The staff are organised and very caring and both my sons absolutely love their time there and the team who work with them. Communication is great, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kindred.

Thank you for your kind review and recommendation. We see ourselves as one big happy family here at Kindred Cambridge and that includes our children and their families. We're so pleased that this family feel comes across in what we do and how we care for our little ones. Communication with our parents is paramount and we love being able to do this in person alongside using our brilliant Satchel App. We look forward to continuing to be part of your son's early years adventure and creating moments of awe and wonder so they can grow and thrive.
I would highly recommend Kindred Nursery, the staff are lovely and they take great care of the children. It's a smaller space than some but they set up great activities every day suited to the children's interests and have themes and educational games and there are lots of new ways to explore and...
If you need full-time care and long hours then this is a fantastic option. The communication is also great, and the app where you can see your child's progress, photos and even bowel movements is fab too.
We are really happy with Kindred Nursery and our nearly 3-year-old loves it. He has been going there full-time since he was 8 months old and pretty much runs in every morning!

My child had been attending Kindred Cambridge since she was 8 months old. We were very happy with the care and attention she got while she was there. She was very happy to go there every day. The staff are very friendly and attentive. I liked the fact that the parents were informed about the progress of the child both daily as well as with the monthly/yearly milestone reports. The opening times of the nursery are very suitable for working parents. Kindred is also open during the school holidays (like half terms, summer etc) which also helps working parents a lot.
We love following all of our little ones and being able to be part of their development and milestones. We love helping them create moments of awe and wonder so they can grow and thrive. We love our app and how it allows us to communicate with our parents about every aspect of their child's day and progress.
The staff are so friendly, welcoming and reassuring - they seem to have boundless energy even by evening pick-up time, I don't know how they do it!

The staff are so friendly, welcoming and reassuring - they seem to have boundless energy even by evening pick-up time, I don't know how they do it!
I love the updates they send during the day via the app, and how genuinely interested they are in the children's development. I love how they let the kids play outside in any weather and get messy and just generally have fun, but they are learning so much as well. They have lovely fresh food and healthy snacks. I really couldn't ask for more!

Thank you for your kind review and for being part of our Kindred family at Cambridge.We truly love what we do and it's a privilege to be part of your daughter's early years journey. We are here to help all our little ones create moments of awe and wonder, no matter how messy so that they can grow and thrive. It's these moments that they can use their creativity, imagination and curiosity and learn to do things they love to do. We'll pass your compliments on to our amazing chef and we hope your little girl continues to have fun with us in her home from home.

Both our children have been at Kindred Nursery, the eldest for almost three years and the youngest for eighteen months. They absolutely loved it and I thoroughly recommend the nursery. It is not large in terms of space or numbers so all the staff know all of the children. It is very caring place. They really helped our children to flourish and kept us regularly updated through the app. The staff put on varied and interesting activities for the children and often weeks have their own theme. They help them to develop age appropriate skills and then prepare those going to school for the transition to primary school through having little PE lessons, show and tell and assemblies. We are so glad our children went here.

As a parent of a son with special needs I have been overwhelmed at the support and enthusiasm everyone at Kindred Cambridge has given, from manager to teacher assistant, I wouldn’t wish for a more dedicated and caring environment where my son was obviously happy and made progress in his physical, language and social development.

My child has been very happy in the nursery. I like the various activities and experiences and the friendly staff. Opening time is quite long (even 31st December) - which is very helpful. The app is also wonderful to know what children are doing in the nursery.

My daughter has been attending here for a couple of years now. She has absolutely thrived at this nursery! The staff are so friendly and lovely. They seem really well-versed in how to support child development. They know each child's personality and notice every change and development, always giving personal attention to the children. They are great at managing the kids and keeping everyone safe and happy. They provide varied and developmentally useful activities to the children. There are new activities constantly, every season and every event is celebrated. The office staff are also great, friendly and on top of everything. My child's main carers are genuinely invested in her well-being and cheer her on in her little achievements. The kids seem to love the freshly cooked meals too. My daughter brings home menu suggestions from things she enjoys at nursery. Couldnt have asked for a better nursery!
