Since my son has started at Kindred nursery, durrington, all the staff have gone above and beyond to make him feel settled and to reassure me in starting our nursery journey. My son has issues with separation from myself, so the staff have done everything possible to make my son feel comfortable and
confident when I leave him.
The nursery have fantastic communication so I am never left wondering how he is doing, and since September we have had a number of meetings/phone calls to update me on my son's progress and areas we can work on as a team.

My son has attended this nursery for almost 2 years. In that time he has built great bonds with the staff, especially one in particular who he adores. All the staff are always smiling and welcoming. We always receive an update of the day when we pick up our son as well as regular updates via the app.
The meals provided are a good variety, my son always finishes his meals and often has seconds.
Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, always happy to help.
Also on 2 occasions the staff member has not recognised the grandparent picking up my son and followed appropriate policies in order to safeguard, which as a parent is very important.

Our daughter attends Kindred Durrington and has made so much progress since her enrolment began. Each of the staff are caring, attentive, knowledgeable and supportive which makes my daughter excited to go into nursery each morning and happy on collection.

My Daughter has been attending this nursery for around 12 months now, two full days a week.
Since beginning here the staff have been understanding and compassionate to my child's unique needs and have definitely helped with the development we have seen over the last 12 months.
Staff keep us informed
of anything that is/has happened at the nursery and our child loves to attend the setting.
Staff are friendly and approachable, always putting the children's needs first.

My son has been at kindred Durrington for over a year. He has learnt so much and development very well.

My daughter started attending Kindred Durrington in August 2023. During the time of her settling in, she gained close bonds with her peers as well as the amazing staff. Every morning pick-ups, they bring a warm friendly welcome which eases the drop-offs. She goes in and always comes home happy. They
have a beautiful field that they use in the warmer weather which is a breath of fresh air to see all the children having access to such a wide space to be children and get mucky! If anyone is interested in bringing their child to Kindred Durrington I 100% recommend and you will not regret it!

My son started in February 2024 at 2 years and 1 month. He has pretty much not left my side for 2 years and has potential additional needs to work on. So the nursery decision was important to us as a family. I was given so much support at the open day and the settling-in days to reassure my son and
myself which gave me so much confidence and I knew it was the setting for him. My son loves it, all the staff are welcoming, the menu is great and the activities and communication are spot on. I have full confidence my son will grow and develop in the nursery setting and would recommend it to anyone.

Our 9-month-old has recently been settled into curiosity crescent and we couldn't have had a better experience - even despite him getting poorly and needing a lot of extra attention! The staff are all lovely and reassuring, including management who made me feel not quite so silly for crying at leaving
him and offering lots of tissues. The staff keep you so well updated via the app and are just so helpful. Could not recommend them enough as a provider.

Since my daughter started the nursery nearly a year ago, she has come on leaps and bounds. She's treated like family and we get a good handover each day.

I love how the staff in the baby room are so caring and how my son’s key worker always greets him with a big smile on her face. It’s very reassuring to know that he is being looked after by someone who has built a great rapport with him and who now knows him very well.
As well as giving the children
plenty of food each day, they also do other activities such as painting and colouring. I also like how the staff can easily update you as parents through the app as to how your child is progressing.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.974)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.974) out of 10 for Kindred Durrington 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.974 for Kindred Durrington Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.974
  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 Durrington Nursery and Pre-School is based on 16 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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 16 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.
