  • Kindred Cambridge Nursery and Pre-School, Cambridge
Kindred Cambridge is located in the heart of Cambridge, its cosy and homely atmosphere ensures that children achieve the best possible start to life with resources and opportunities to allow them to develop and grow.

The dedicated staff team take time to get to know every child attending the nursery and interact with all children.

Every child has a passionate key person who will track your child's progress daily and feed back to you at the end of the busy day.

The under 2's rooms hold a maximum of 9 children in each room, this allows the children to develop and grow in a warm, cosy and spacious environment.

The baby room is located in a separate flat adjoining the nursery, which has a separate sleeping room for babies. The 2-3 year olds and pre-school share a large room with a wide range of resources and constant free flow to the well-equipped garden area.

The individual needs of each child at the nursery are met through a range of care, fun and learning and parents are regularly encouraged to become involved with nursery events and open nursery sessions.

The pre-school class visit the local residential home every week and play with their elderly friends there, this wonderful intergenerational interaction is great for their confidence and social and communication skills.

A parents evening is held twice a year and a monthly newsletter is sent to parents to allow them to keep up to date with the nursery’s most recent activities.

All staff are regularly DBS checked, paediatric first aid, safeguarding and food hygiene trained.

Very happy with this nursery. Our son always enjoys his time, and nursery and the staff are excellent. The staff all know the son by his name - even the office staff and always great him with his name when we arrive.

Sunflower is a fantastic nursery! The staff are so caring and genuinely invested in the wellbeing and development of the children providing a range of fun activities and learning opportunities both inside and outside. They are thorough and careful in their approach, and I am confident that our son is
taken care of wonderfully every day. Our son loves it. The food is also delicious!

We have been with Sunflower for a year, and they've seen our boy through so many developments and phases. They're really kind and very switched on.

Sunflower Nursery staff and teachers are incredible. My son runs into their arms to greet them and never has he ever complained. They are also attentive to any questions I may have and treat my child like their own. I couldn’t recommend it enough, and am so grateful to be apart of such a wonderful community.
We love Sunflower Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been assisting to Sunflower for three years, and we couldn't be happier of his development thanks to all the hard work that the staff put in for the children.
The premises are always clean, tidy and well presented. And the golden brooch was how they adjust and help all us trough this pandemic
times; we don't have much family around, and they support us as if we were part of it.
I'll be forever grateful for all what the nursery has done for us, and I couldn't recommend enough. Is amazing.

This is a wonderful nursery, and we could not be happier with it. The staff are wonderful - caring, kind and above all else, fun! Our daughter loves going there, and she learns something new every day. Our daughter was clingy when she attended other nurseries, but she very quickly became comfortable
here, and I don’t think she will want to leave despite the fact she starts school in September. Definitely recommend!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband and I decided to enrol our son in this nursery based on the positive reviews found, and we have to say that we weren’t disappointed. From the beginning, the staff was welcoming, caring and worked really hard to ease our son's settlement. Even if our son has been there for only four months
(going twice a week), he has benefited significantly from the environment and the tailored care provided; My son is much more confident in social situations and has improved his English a lot, even if this is not our first language. We recommend this setting, no doubt!

Amazing and friendly staff.
They are all bubbly, and it's lovely to hear the children laughing and singing in the gardens with the staff.
I am new to the area, and they have made my son very welcome.
He has progressed so much since attending the nursery.
Highly recommend the nursery.

Review from A M P (Father of Child) published on 31 October 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended Sunflower Nursery full time since she was one year old and ended in September 2018 when she began at Reception. One of the first things which attracted us to Sunflower was its separate flat for babies, which is bright and peaceful, a great atmosphere for the littlest ones to
feel safe and calm in.
The children move up into different rooms as they age, which are full of age-appropriate activities and become increasingly similar to reception. We were always impressed by the quality feedback given about what our daughter did each day. We always felt that her key-worker and other staff members got to know her personality well and gave her much personal attention. Importantly, the staff were always thinking about ways to help her grow, grow in confidence, and ultimately successfully transition into school.
Learning was fun and based on their interests. My daughter was always happy at Sunflower, and still talks warmly about its staff and her Sunflower friends .

Both of our children went to Sunflower Nursery with the last leaving in August 2018 and our experience was unwaveringly positive. The staff were always welcoming and engaged and both our children thrived in the environment they created.

My daughter has been coming to Sunflower for three days a week since she was one. She loves it. There are always fun things to do, the staff are lovely and friendly and my daughter has made wonderful friends. As a parent, I really appreciate how well organised the nursery is, their great communications
and creative educational programming.

I really like the setting, the staff are very helpful and communication is always spot on. The baby room is especially amazing because the kids have a separate room to sleep in.
All the facilities are really good and my son really enjoys being at nursery. He has been with the nursery for one and a
half years and they have been encouraging and supportive.
All our dietary needs were taken care of and the staff have been very helpful when I discuss any behavioural issues.

My wife and I love Sunflower Nursery. Our son has been going there for over a year and his development and personality has grown so much since he started. He is always encouraged to further his development, and every stage of his growth is closely monitored and assessed. We feel totally at ease when
we drop him off knowing that he will have a wonderful day. Staff are fantastic and can't recommend them highly enough.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.899)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.899) out of 10 for Kindred Cambridge Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.899 for Kindred Cambridge Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.899
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred Cambridge Nursery and Pre-School is based on 15 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 + 0.1 = 4
    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 46 number of registered child places is 9.2, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
