Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending here for around 1 1/2 years. This was the first nursery setting we looked at and instantly knew this was the one. The staff are all great with the kids, they learn so much and do all kinds of activities you'd never even think of. Her communication skills have come on leaps
and bounds, and thanks to Kindred Parsonage Pre-school , even though my daughter will be one of the youngest ones starting school, she is most definitely ready. I would never choose a different nursery.

Well, what can I say, amazing Pre-school, wonderful staff, great fun, lovely and caring place? My daughter has enjoyed every moment at the Pre-school and learnt so much. Wonderful happy place. She will miss all her friends and all the lovely staff and their happy faces. This is a great location and
easy to park for drop off and pick up.

The nursery is small regarding outside play but my children (boys) don't really take notice because they enjoy themselves and the staff go far and beyond for the children. I have had no problems at all with regard to any concerns. I am always well informed regarding their learning through the app and
staff are always approachable to speak to about how the day has been. My boys love all their teachers and I am happy that they attend this nursery. Thank you.

We moved our son to this nursery in September. Since his arrival there, he has thrived. Every morning he runs in without a second glance back - a testimony to how happy he is here. The staff are really friendly and genuinely have your child’s best interests at heart. The staff are well trained and experienced
and are ready to learn and respond to your child's individual needs. They adopt a learning environment that enables your child to be more independent, giving them great foundations to eventually facilitate a positive transition to school. The contact from the nursery via an app is regularly updated with your child’s activities throughout their day and each activity is tailored to your child’s ability. A fun, safe and welcoming environment for your child, you simply couldn’t ask for more.

I have had all 4 of my boys go to this school and every boy loved going. They learned so much at playschool. The staff are so welcoming, it's like a big family, the boys have loved being there. Also, love that you can see your children's learning and see what they do on the app. Amazing nursery.

I have a nearly 3-year-old daughter who attends Kindred Parsonage and can't ask for better care than she receives. All of the staff are caring, professional and approachable. My daughter has allergies and I am extremely confident that she is safe here. The care has always been amazing but has been even
more amazing following covid 19. Outstanding measures are in place. My daughter had a long break due to Covid 19 but has settled amazingly and on her first day smiled until bedtime.
Previously my eldest daughter attended this setting and again, the care was amazing. I knew this would be the place for my children from the moment I spoke to the manager upon enquiry. As a former nursery manager and childminder myself, I would not hesitate to recommend this setting to others.

My son has been at this playschool for the last two years and he’s really enjoyed it. It took him a long time to settle as we now know he has a diagnosis of autism.
All the ladies at Kindred Parsonage Pre-school have been amazing and so supportive with us and our son at playschool. Everyone has gone
above and beyond to make sure he feels safe and has fun whilst playing there.
I would highly recommend anyone to put their child’s name down for this playschool, they are such lovely people and will make you feel so welcome, and your child will get the best care there.

Kindred Parsonage is a brilliant nursery, my son absolutely loves going there and is always full of stories from his day when I pick him up, all the staff have been brilliant returning to nursery after reopening due to COVID-19 and have always made sure the children are safe whilst being there and dropping
off at school.

I have had two children attend this Pre School and never had any issues or concerns and both children have never had any issues when leaving them there. The management and staff are all very warm and welcoming, the communication has always been brilliant, and even more so during lockdown! It'll be
bittersweet when my daughter leaves next July!

I moved my little girl to Parsonage Pre-school after a negative experience at another setting. I was in turmoil over the ‘best thing to do’ for my child. As soon as I made contact via the phone my mind was put at ease. The manager was kind, understanding and reassuring, she suggested a visit and my
little girl showed more confidence with her amazing key worker than she ever had at the previous setting. The setting took her lead and never pushed her into a situation she wasn’t comfortable with. After a few settling in sessions, my little girl was able to say goodbye. The staff are outstanding and genuinely care about all aspects of the children’s well-being. My only regret is not moving her sooner.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended Parsonage Pre-school since he was two years ten months and is now almost off to school. He has a fantastic bond with his key worker and all the staff and most days runs in and doesn't look back and on the rare days he doesn't settle, his needs are met. There are fantastic activities
provided daily and great communications through his online learning journal. It offers freeflow throughout to give the children a variety of learning spaces. The setting has two family socials a year and these are a big hit along with festive celebrations. The setting offers perfect hours and flexibility to meet my childcare requirements.
My son has just returned as lockdown eases and having not been in since March (now June) he ran in not looking back. The setting also kept up communications throughout this time with activity ideas and advice.
More recently the setting has changed ownership and I have witnessed a smooth transition in, minimal (positive) changes and consistent care from staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has loved every moment of her two years at Kindred Parsonage, the staff are amazing and there is a real family environment.
I feel at all times that my daughter is well looked after, well educated, safe and happy. The support the staff give with things like potty training is fantastic
and they are willing to go at your pace.
I am notified quickly if there is ever an issue/illness and feel the communication between key workers and parents is extremely good with regular updates and photos. I have always felt that I can ask any question on drop off and collection and it is never an issue. I like being able to ask how my daughter is getting on in certain areas and them taking the time to tell me where some nurseries make you feel as though they don’t have time.
As a family we have really enjoyed the Christmas shows and the family socials which really make you feel part of the “ Parsonage Family”. The nursery's best attribute is the incredibly devoted and caring staff.

Very pleasing atmosphere. My child has been anxious lately but the staff have been happy and comforting to my child, encouraging play, learning and development which I can track on Tapestry frequently. Encourage reading with book bags and books to take home and read. The gate needs a secure repair to
car park - very flimsy, maybe a new one? More space for changing/coat hooks - some are broken? More space for drinking bottles - some hanging off edge, very packed! I have text message at times and had no reply, once being told text hadn't been received?

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.611)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.611) out of 10 for Kindred Parsonage (Amesbury) Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.811 for Kindred Parsonage (Amesbury) Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (77 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.811
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred Parsonage (Amesbury) Pre-school is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 8 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.
