The staff at Brights Stars/Kindred I cannot thank enough, all the staff are amazing. They are amazing with my child, they are always making fun educational things to do, he has such fun at nursery and he has a lovely selection of food to eat as well which is great. I would recommend it to everyone.

This nursery (Cheshunt Kindred) has been a true blessing for our family. The staff is incredibly helpful, friendly, and dedicated to our child's well-being. They've always assisted with scheduling activities and holiday dates or child well-being. Highly recommend!

We moved my daughter here from another nursery and it was the best decision we could have made. We noticed a difference in her straight away. The staff here are great and they always have different fun activities for the children to take part in. The garden space is lovely and a good size and it was
nice to know they can spend a lot of time outside. They have a great app which provides a lot of information and is very easy to contact the staff on. Overall we were really happy with this nursery and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff and management are so friendly. The staff in two to three, where my twin boys are, are so nurturing and understanding. My boys were very unsettled leaving at first, as it was all new. But, the ladies here have done loads to make them settle in and they love it now. Always coming back saying
what they have done, singing little songs they have learnt, and the pictures they make are amazing! They always keep me updated on what my boys are doing, eating, toileting, and as a parent you need that. Overall, lovely nursery, loads of stuff for them to do. Staff are kind and friendly. A really good nursery.

Our little boy loves the nursery. The staff are brilliant. The app is excellent, I know exactly what our little boy has eaten, how long he has slept, toilet trips, activities, his progress etc. and it’s easy to communicate with staff on there too. Easy to drop-off/pick-up as they have a car park. Fees
stayed the same when they changed hands which was good. Only downside would be they don’t have the option of term time.

Our daughter is so happy in the nursery! Mornings are an easy time for us, as she loves attending her nursery and playing with her friends. She has made many friends over time and, with such enthusiasm, she runs towards the door. If the nursery could try to have staff on a permanent basis, the environment
would be even better for the kids. Overall, we are happy with the services.

I cannot express how amazingly thankful I am to the wonderful staff at Kindred Cheshunt for the years my girls have spent with you. Staff are spectacular - kind and thoughtful and go out of their way to make your child feel at home and loved. Communication is brilliant, and meals for the kids are fab
- my extremely fussy three-year-old raves about the food! The two ladies are fantastic leaders and are never too busy to keep you up to date on your child’s progress. My family cannot recommend Kindred Cheshunt enough.

Best nursery ever! My son started 2 months ago (he is 13 months now) and it affected his development in a positive way. He started to walk, he started to use a spoon. His teacher is very nice. Two of the ladies are the best teachers ever seen in our life. We visited other nurseries but the Kindred group
is very good, especially the Cheshunt branch. They have a really really nice garden and separated for ages. Really nice and welcoming when you enter the nursery.

Both my sons attend the nursery, the older one since 2021 and the younger one since 2023. The staff are great with the kids and work hard to build bonds, especially thankful for this since my oldest was a covid baby and he still finds it hard to be around people he is unfamiliar with. They genuinely
care about the kids and that makes a massive difference for parents who need to work and can't be with their little ones.

My children (twins) have been going to Kindred Cheshunt for the past three years. They started in the baby room and have just graduated from pre-school.

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.
