Kindred Parsonage (Amesbury) Pre-school

When we first started looking at nurseries for our son, Parsonage stood out to us. They recognised the need to fit around the individual child and not for the child to fit into the setting. The staff team are friendly, approachable, and informative and always have the time to talk to you about any your child’s day. There is good communication between the setting and home with regular updates through the app and they always welcome any additional contact. There is a wide selection of activities on offer each session, a mixture of free play and some structured. The outside area appears quite small but is full of things to do and a firm favorite!

Absolute amazing playschool older sibling went never had any issues with anything there and so helpful and family-oriented too, very clean, staffs amazing, my child is always excited to go. Would highly recommend.

At pick up, I get told how her day has been, how she's behaved and interacted with everyone. They keep you updated on the website with pictures as well which is always lovely to see and they are very easygoing. I'd highly recommend this nursery.

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.

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.

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.

More recently the setting has changed ownership and I have witnessed a smooth transition in, minimal (positive) changes and consistent care from staff.

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?
