  • Kindred White Post Nursery and Pre-school, Newark-on-Trent
Kindred White Post is a distinctive nursery set within a beautifully converted barn, offering bright and spacious rooms where children can explore and learn. Outdoor access is a key part of the nursery’s approach, with large, dedicated garden areas available for each room.

A strong focus on outdoor learning is supported by two qualified Forest School teachers, who lead weekly sessions designed to build children’s confidence and develop important life skills through hands-on experiences in nature.

Many members of the team have been with the nursery for a long time, providing consistent, familiar care that helps build strong, trusting relationships with families. The nursery is also conveniently located for commuting parents, with excellent transport links to Nottingham, Mansfield, and Farnsfield.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It really is the staff that makes this nursery amazing. My son has attended White Post since April 2021 going into the baby room, each time he has moved up to the next class I’ve been nervous but every time the staff have been amazing and he really has come on a lot, they recognised he needed additional
help with his speech as by the time he got an appointment for speech therapy it wasn’t required and that’s down to the staff giving him one to one support.
I would definitely recommend this nursery. He is always going out to White Post farm with the nursery and he absolutely loves the staff, coming home and talking about them nonstop. To be able to go to work and not worry about your child is such a relief.
Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred White Post Nursery and Pre-schoolThank you for your kind review and for being a part of our Kindred family at White Post.

My twin boys started at Alphabet House in March 2019 after the closure of their last nursery. I was worried about them starting at a different nursery at 2 and a half years old, but I didn't need to be. They settled into the toddler room easily and are now progressing into the pre-school room. I love
that they have access to the farm next door, there is a variety of food available and they are looked after by dedicated staff.

The staff are always warm and welcoming. Our children both go to their key workers and staff quite happily and readily.
There is a great array of activities indoors, outdoor space and regular trips to include the farm.
We receive regular updates through tapestry and have good catch-ups with staff.

We cannot speak highly enough of all the staff and the Alphabet House team since our daughter has been attending. The care and attention they have shown has been outstanding and we would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to our friends.

What sold this nursery to us was the staff and the visits to Alphabet House Day Nursery.
My little boy started in August - he cried when I dropped him off and again when I fetched him but six weeks in and I don't even get chance to take his coat off before he's walking over to one of the ladies for
a hug. I love that he's enjoying himself and learning new things daily. Pretty sure he enjoys the food too!

I am really pleased with Alphabet House, I feel that my daughter is very happy and developing well. The staff are superb and the nursery has a real good feel about it. There are lots of toys/activities for the children. I am so pleased that the children also visit the local farm on a regular basis.
My daughters key worker is wonderful and I would certainly recommend this nursery to friends.

My daughters keyworker is very supportive in meeting my daughters needs. She communicated my childs targets very clearly and advised me on additional information to enhance her development at home. She clearly talked me through the daily routine and advised me on how she measures her progression and
development.

After having visited the nursery to have a look around before deciding which one my son would attend I felt right at home with this nursery. Everyone was friendly and I felt confident he would be well cared for.


I would highly recommend this nursery as my son has fitted in no problem since I had

always been at home with him till he was 3. I felt confident that he was being cared for and that he would be comforted if needed for the reasons above. I am also happy with the level of development he has reached.

My son has attended the preschool for over a year and his confidence has improved no end. He has difficulty with his speech but this has not held him back. With the support of his key worker and the other staff, his speech improved and became more clear. I cannot thank the staff enough he never wants
to come home at the end of the day.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.385)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.385) out of 10 for Kindred White Post Nursery and Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 14 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 4.952 for Kindred White Post Nursery and Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.952
  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 4.433 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred White Post Nursery and Pre-school is based on 14 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.85
    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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.583
  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.
