So happy with Kindred Cheshunt. Everyone there is so attentive and kind towards the children, and definitely go out of their way to make sure every child is settled and happy in their environment away from home. There's always a variety of meals on offer throughout the week & my sons appetite seems
to have improved loads since starting there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a mother, I couldn't be more grateful for the care and attention my child receives at Kindred Nursery and Preschool. From the very beginning, the staff have made us feel completely welcome and supported. The environment is warm, nurturing, and full of positive energy - exactly what I hoped for in
an early childhood setting.


The teachers are not only experienced but also genuinely kind and attentive. My child has grown in so many ways since starting at Kindred - becoming more confident, expressive, and socially engaged. Every day is filled with meaningful learning, creative play, and gentle guidance.


Kindred Nursery and Preschool has become a second home for my child.

My son has just finished in curiosity crescent and the staff have been so kind and lovely. This is my first child and I felt nervous leaving him for the first time but the team made me feel so at ease and kept me up to date with all his fun activities. He has now gone down to learning lane and is so
confident now and loves being with the staff and other children.

Our son absolutely loves attending Kindred Nursery. All of the staff there are lovely and amazing with the children, and we know he is in safe hands and having a great time for every minute he is there. They do so many activities with the kids to help them develop, all while having great fun. Regular
pictures and updates on the app help us to keep track of his developmental progress, what he has been doing every day, what he ate, naps, and of course the good old bowel movements!
I wouldn't want to send him anywhere else

My son with additional needs started at Kindred this January and I've not seen him so comfortable and happier in a nursery. My son was always so keen to get out of the old nursery but in kindred he does not want to leave. The staff are so supportive, professional, honest, compassionate, and caring towards
the all kids. Both the manager and deputy manager are so lovely. I'm gutted I did not start my son's nursery journey in Kindred but I'm grateful he is in a position place he is accepted and not judgemental. Such a brilliant nursery, will 100% recommend it to all moms. Thank you Cheshunt Kindred for all your support.

My daughter is so happy at Kindred Cheshunt. The staff are all lovely and really go the extra mile to make sure she feels happy and safe. She eats better at nursery than she does at home.

My son started his adventure with the nursery at the age of 10 months. He loves the nursery and his caregivers. Every day he literally runs to his room and immediately starts playing. He doesn't get bored because they always have some cool activities. Communication is very good, there are a lot of posts
on the app about what children are doing. Choosing this nursery was one of the best decisions.

My son is very happy going to nursery. This is the most important thing. He started when he was 11 months old and now he is 2,5 years old. Our house is a little far from the nursery and I preferred this nursery even though there are nurseries closer..
If I had only one criticism to make, it would
be that I used to receive weekly photos when my son was in the before 2-3-year-old class (baby class), but unfortunately, I can't get weekly photos in the 2-3-year-old class. We would be very happy if we could see more videos and photos of children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kindred Cheshunt have been, and continue to be such an amazing nursery for our two children (4 and 2); they have helped both kids settle in well and provide lots of fun activities for the kids to do. My daughter has autism and the team at Kindred have been extremely helpful in helping and advising us
along with supporting our daughter - I can not thank them enough for their support. The nursery is clean and the staff are all lovely, they really get to know the children well and genuinely care so much about them. I feel content leaving my children in their care and comforted with the updates you receive daily via the app. A very important aspect is that our children really enjoy going there. Would 100% recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.945)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.945) out of 10 for Kindred Cheshunt Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.945 for Kindred Cheshunt Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (224 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 237 Ratings = 4.945
  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 Cheshunt Nursery and Pre-School is based on 20 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 93 number of registered child places is 18.6, which has been reached with 20 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.
