Kindred Bournemouth Nursery and Pre-School

My little boy loves going to nursery here and has made some lovely friendships with the other children and staff members. I feel that he is in safe hands and well cared for here. We have recently started potty training and I felt he was fully supported with this and he has done really well.

The nursery is providing excellent care for our son. Staff members are very engaged and interested in children's development and in their welfare. A big plus is that food is cooked on-site and they meet even the most challenging allergy-related requirements. Very happy.

I am very happy with my child being at Kindred. They only started in January but have really come along in that short space of time. My child comes out happy when I pick her up so that’s the main thing for me.

The staff give excellent feedback regarding our child’s day and the number of observations shared has increased significantly which is so important to my wife and I. On arrival, the number of activities that are prepared for the day is clearly apparent as well which is always positive to see. The staff are always approachable and appear to have a really positive relationship with our child who, through her actions, clearly trusts. It’s an absolute joy to hear our child at the end of the day state “I’ve had so much fun at nursery today”.

My son loves attending nursery and even when he’s been upset about separation from me, the staff have always been kind, sensitive and inform me of how he’s been through the day. The outside space is lovely and I get some really lovely images of him and information of what he’s been up to.

Much more improvement than before, can see my son is starting to learn and improve in himself, improved staff and overall as well. Always happy to come and go to nursey with a big smile on his face which is good.

Kindred Bournemouth Day Nursery and Pre-School has been absolutely amazing with my daughter. She has come such a long way after attending Kindred. The staff have been brilliant. I cannot speak more highly of them. My daughter loves going to Kindred and even got upset when they were on break!

Other than that, we are very satisfied.

Lovely staff, always there with a nice welcome for my son in the morning. Have been very patient and understanding, giving him time to settle in and space when needed for him to decide when to join in etc.

We love Kindred Bournemouth Day Nursery and Pre-School and so does my little boy. Finding my little boy is really enjoying himself and loving all the staff in curiosity crescent. Encouraging him to grow in all areas. The nursery has been great in keeping me updated when my little boy has been struggling when being dropped off in the morning which really helps put me at ease

We feel the nursery has really improved in the last six months which is amazing to see. Our little girl has always been happy to attend Kindred Bournemouth Day Nursery and Pre-School and has loved all the adults that have worked in each room. She is always speaking about her friends which shows how settled she is there. The timings of the day are perfect for us and we wouldn't have chosen any other nursery.

Such a lovely environment, lovely size and very well apparated for all of the ages, the meals they supply are varied and on a weekly changeover which is amazing. My son is starting there and it is full of kind, caring staff that you can ensure are looking after your children the best they can.

Not long been with Kindred Bournemouth Day Nursery and Pre-School, very happy with the service so far. Child seems to have enjoyed his time with you and the place seems very well-organised and clean. Hope Ofsted finds it better next time they come.

My granddaughter has been so well cared for and it is lovely to see how happy she is at nursery. The app is brilliant and the team in drop off and collection are always very friendly and thorough with the information exchange and making sure my granddaughter has a seamless handover. Thank you.

The staff are always friendly at the beginning and the end of the day and keep me well informed of how my son is getting on.

Kindred Bournemouth Day Nursery and Pre-School has always been so welcoming to my little girl. They catch and understand her character. Always update how she is getting along and anything new that she learns. She’s been going for years and gets along so well with the staff and the other children. She has formed great friendships there. She also tells me how yummy the food is and likes the chef. It’s nice to go to work and know she’s happy at nursery.

Lastly, like to say thank you to all the team for the hard work you do.

Thank you for everything you do for my daughter.

My child appeared happy there which is why we stayed but I am feeling less anxious now they no longer attend Kindred which is also quite sad because as a parent you want to have lovely memories of nursery, not bad ones.

I have generously rated 3 stars as I find the nursery to be “satisfactory”. There are great benefits to this nursery over others such as being open from 7.30 am until 6 pm which suits my working needs. Others in the local area are only open from 8 am. I do have a few niggles. The app is never updated accurately in terms of what has been eaten. I do rely on this when the nursery is busy at collection time to understand what my child needs when back at home. I very rarely get an update/pictures posted to the app with activities undertaken during the 52-and-a-half hours they are there per week. The turnover of staff is disappointing. The nursery recently lost a very big asset to their team who children and parents adored. Not because they were changing their career, but because they went to another nursery which is concerning. They have gone somewhere else to do the same job. My child seems very happy and has built very strong relationships with other children which is what stops me from considering a move.
