  • 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.

Review from Andrew F (Father of Child) published on 27 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child thoroughly enjoys his time coming to the nursery to spend time with not only the staff but he has made plenty of friends along his journey whilst he has been coming. All staff are friendly, helpful, courteous and can't do enough for all the children. The activities provided are not only helping
his progression develop but moulding him into an individual to grow into. Overall extremely happy.

Very happy with the care provided to my child. Have enjoyed seeing his development since joining the nursery. Tapestry is also a great tool to keep track of his day to day activities and development.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter attended Alphabet House Day Nursery from 11 months old until she sadly had to leave for big school. She loved every minute and never wanted to leave in the evenings! The care, love and teaching she received here was beyond fantastic! The team are amazing providing so many varied activities
(dance, French, tennis, forest school, farm days) with amazing fun and enthusiasm. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been coming here for the last few months. My son has come on in leaps and bounds, the staff here have done more than enough to make him feel comfortable and happy. He has gone from being a shy and cautious boy to loving the nursery and wanting to come every day.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My review experience was good, with no complaints. My daughter's key worker was good with explaining all areas and answered all questions given. It will be sad not visiting Alphabet House as often when my daughter moves up to school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I love Alphabet House Day Nursery. Ever since my child started, I have seen his behaviour, social behaviour and confidence improve greatly. The staff are friendly, polite and extremely hard working. I can't commend them enough. My child always comes home happy and fulfilled and I can't wait for my youngest
to start.

My daughter always has a good day at day nursery and plays so much she is tired out by the time she gets home. The variety of her meals sounds lovely and appetising.

The service is brilliant. I am happy with the fact that my son enjoys being at school. It did not take long for him to settle. He is also learning a lot and gaining more.

Review from Rebecca H (Mother of Child) published on 22 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very pleased with the high standard of this nursery, its commitment to the development of the child. I feel that my son is excelling at this nursery, and the availability of extra curricular activities is good too.
The menus are great and full of nutritious food, the facilities are of a good
standard with lots of toys/equipment, etc. to keep my child stimulated.
The staff are very friendly and approachable, and I am fully confident with my son being in their care.
At a recent parents evening I was delighted to hear that with the help of his key person, my son is reaching his targets easily and is now ready for his next step in September to school.

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.
