Review from N B (Mother of Child) published on 17 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter loves spending time here. It would be better if they "pretend play" more with life like situations like " at the doctors" or " at the shop" or have to spend time in pretend set ups like kitchens or salons. Hope it will be fun for them.

Reply from Emma Avery, Marketing Assistant at Kindred Wanstead Nursery and Pre-School

Thank you for your kind review. The team always ensure activities are based around the children's interests, this helps to create those magical awe and wonder moments. Thank you for choosing us.

Overall Experience

The Staff at Kindred Wanstead have been absolutely amazing. My son beams everyday he comes in and the staff are also excited to see him. You can tell they all love what they do and are so communicative with the parents. The weekly news letters are such a jot, because you can also see what your child will be doing in the future classes as well.

Reply from Natasha Eldridge, Family Enrolment Specialist at Kindred Wanstead Nursery and Pre-School

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're absolutely thrilled to hear how happy your son is at Kindred Wanstead - seeing him beam each day truly brings us joy too! It means so much to know that our passion for what we do shines through and that you feel the warmth and care from our...

Overall Experience

I have had 3 children attend this nursery. My twin boys attended from the age of 1 and the nursery has always been very supportive of their needs. They supported us in obtaining an education plan due to their developmental delay with complete support. They were very good with them and the boys although nonverbal with high needs really seemed to enjoy attending. They are now at a special needs nursery, but my daughter now attends. She loves every staff member and is very excited to attend every morning. I am very grateful to have found such a supportive and caring environment for my children.

Overall Experience

Kindred Wanstead Day Nursery is a brilliant nursery. When we moved to the area, they helped our first son settle in so well and managed his allergies with great care. We're now taking our second child there and they gave me such peace with how they adjusted to his needs and our concerns. Their comms are A1, staff are super friendly and lovely! I wished they stayed open a bit later but other than that, love them!

Reply from Emma Avery, Marketing Assistant at Kindred Wanstead Nursery and Pre-School

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are so pleased that the team at Wanstead supported your son to settle into his new environment, especially after moving to the area there must have been a lot of changes happening for your family and we are happy we could help this transition go...

Our daughter has been attending nursery for just over a month. After the inevitable settling-in period, she has been growing more and more fond of her peers and the lovely team that works there. She is having a blast! We love hearing about what she’s been up to, there is never a dull moment. Returning to work has been great knowing she is so well looked after by such a lovely team.

We have been super impressed with Kindred Wanstead Day Nursery and Pre-School since our daughter started in January. The staff are so caring, welcoming and warm, it didn’t take long for our daughter to settle in. Communication is great, we love the photo updates.

I have two children at Kindred Wanstead Day Nursery and Pre-School, ages 18 months and 4 years old. The care and management are brilliant, everyone is so kind and both my children absolutely love it there. The teams have been so supportive and communication is great. The updates are brilliant and I can see how much learning they are doing. The garden space is lovely and big, with lots of different areas to play in. I would recommend Kindred to anyone in the area, I think it is a brilliant nursery!

Overall Experience

Two of my children attend Kindred Wanstead Day Nursery and Pre-School and from the beginning they make you feel so comfortable, communication is excellent and all staff are amazing. Their app keeps you updated with all information throughout the day, tells you how many times your child has been changed to showing you what and how much your child eats and much more. I have no faults about this nursery as it is like one big family and my children are always full of smiles from the beginning of the day to the end of the day.

We are very happy with Kindred Wanstead Day Nursery and Pre-School - it’s a loving, friendly and caring place. The staff are truly amazing there. They have made my 1-year-old son feel comfortable from the very beginning when nursery was brand new for him. They also are very committed to learning and development. They make the nursery feel like home and my son always feels loved there. Highly recommend.

Overall Experience

We have had a fantastic experience with Kindred. Our 1-year-old son started full-time in January and has fully settled in within a couple of weeks. The staff and management have been so kind and attentive making sure our son has been fully supported and happy as he adapts to his new environment and routine. We are completely comfortable dropping him off every day knowing that he is well looked after. We can track all his naps, nappy changes and meals in the app in addition to regular photos and updates uploaded by the staff. We would recommend Kindred to anyone in the area.

Reply from Emma Avery, Marketing Assistant at Kindred Wanstead Nursery and Pre-School

Thank you so much for your kind review, we are so happy to hear how the team has supported your son to settle. We always make sure we go to the child's place when starting this transition as this helps them to settle smoothly. Is it lovely to know this has given you the confidence to drop him off...

Review from Nishi K (Mother of Child) published on 12 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started at Kindred Wanstead Day Nursery when she turned 1 - she has developed immensely since starting. Her growth is all down to the staff and all their support and guidance. She has really enjoyed and become closer to her key room leader. We are moving area and have sadly had to end our Kindred journey- which we wish we could have continued.

I can't recommend this nursery enough to anyone- the staff are so kind and lovely and love how organised the day-to-day communication with management and the app is. We will miss you Kindred.

Our daughter has been at Kindred Wanstead for 3 months now and so far we have been very happy. The staff are very supportive and communicative, especially throughout the initial settling period. Our daughter always seems happy to be left in the mornings now and just as happy when we pick her up. The baby room is lovely and bright and looks out onto the garden. Management is great at communication which is very important to us. Kindred came recommended and we are happy we chose them!

Our 2-year-old loves going to nursery here and has a lovely relationship with his room leader and the other children in his class.
The option of an early start at 7.30 is really helpful for us, as we both start work early.

The staff all seem interested in the children and very kind, there is enough variety in activities to keep our very busy 2 year old happy.
