Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I absolutely love this nursery. The staff are amazing and it is just so child friendly. Both of my children attend here and I am so grateful we got a space!
Every room has seen my child develop new skills and I really feel like staff know my child when they are giving feedback. It is invaluable to
leave your child knowing that they will have fun and be well cared for. Thank you all so much!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are excellent and my children are very happy! The staff show interest in my children and I feel confident leaving my little ones in their care. They seem experienced and confident in their roles and this is very reassuring for me as a parent. The staff are always friendly, professional, empathetic
and show kindness to my children. My little ones are always smiling at drop off and pick up and this is everything for us! Thank you.

Absolutely outstanding staff! They understood both my kids and managed to encourage and challenge them according to their needs. Every day they seem to do something new and exciting with the kids be it construction, set up a play or crafts.

Review from Kat M (Mother of Child) published on 29 October 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
All in all we are very happy with how our daughter has been treated at Kindred Girton. She enjoys her time there and comes home keen to show us any new skills she has learnt that day.


The children of Buttercup room always seem friendly and happy whenever I come in to pick up our daughter which I

am sure speaks volumes.


However, one area for improvement is reporting. It would be good if staff could use the functionality of the new app to report to parents on all the basics (eating, drinking, sleeping and any issues etc) rather than parents having to draw it out of the staff at pickup.

Absolutely love this nursery, I cannot say enough good things about it. My oldest child attended a few years ago from age 15 months and now my 2-year-old has started there. I have always felt that my children are in such good hands here and in the care of the most professional and caring people. Great
facilities and play areas and everything just seems so well organised.

Review from Peter G (Father of Child) published on 17 August 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my children have been at this nursery over the last 4 years and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff are fantastic, very attentive, and caring towards the children. They build really strong bonds with the children and provide excellent feedback as to how their day has been. The facilities are
excellent, in particular the large outdoor play spaces that all the children enjoy. There are lots of different activities and fun things to do. Additional activities like the forest school and monkeynastix are also very good. The children enjoy a good variety of food options which are cooked on site. In the pre-school year, they do a really good job at the beginning to get the children prepared for school and the nursery is particularly helpful at accommodating transition days at school. Overall this is an excellent nursery and I would highly recommend it.

Review from Emily K (Mother of Child) published on 6 August 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I originally chose for my son to attend this nursery because from our first visit it had a small and friendly feel.
He is now 2 and has been attending (on and off due to Covid) since he was 10 months.
Everyone is always attentive and friendly and he enjoys going and does a variety of activities
every week.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.997)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.997) out of 10 for Kindred Girton 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 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 4.947 for Kindred Girton Nursery and Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (90 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.947
  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 4.05 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred Girton Nursery and 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.65
    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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.4
  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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2016

Hello, my name is Sophie Smith, and I am the Nursery Manager here at Kindred Girton.


I have been working at Kindred Girton since 2016, when I joined as a young apprentice. Over the last 7 years, I have grown and travelled through all roles within the nursery from a key person to room lead, and now deputy manager. Throughout this time, I have become level 3 qualified in my Early Years, I am the ENCO representative (equality & Needs co-ordinator), MHFA, SENCO & DSL.


As my journey and career have blossomed over the years, my passions have remained true to my first years of childcare – Ensuring all children feel safe, secure and represented within my nursery enabling and supporting them to thrive in learning, development, natural curiosity and exploration. I am passionate about children exploring the natural world around them. My love and understanding of outdoor learning is something I take pride in here at Kindred Girton - so you may see me in the main office or you may find me with my wellies on in our garden allotment.
