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.

We are so pleased you are happy that you can see the difference Kindred Bournemouth is having on your child in such a small space of time. We like to make sure we are getting to know each child's interests so we can plan activities to provide those amazing awe and wonder moments that help your child to learn and develop. Thank you for your lovely review.

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”.

Building relationships and getting to know each individual child is always key to ensure we are meeting their needs and they are happy and experiencing lots of awe and wonder moments. Thank you for choosing us!
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.

Thank you so much for your kind review. We work in partnership with parents to ensure you are kept up to date with all the amazing awe and wonder moments your child has had throughout the day, especially if they have been unsettled at drop off, it is reassuring to know that they have settled and are ok as some children take longer with the transition from home to nursery. The team will continue to support your child and you during this time. This is why our app is great as you can receive instant messages and pictures to keep you updated. We love the outdoor space too, the children really enjoy being outside and it enables us to create wonderful learning activities both inside and out.
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!

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 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.
We are so pleased to hear that you can see the wonderful improvements the team has made here at Bournemouth and that you would not have chosen any other nursery for your little girl to attend. We love that she has built relationships with her friends and the staff in the room. Thank you so much for your kind review.
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.

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.

Myself and my wife were nervous about her attending a nursery as we are first time parents. However, it was the best decision we made for her.
The staff are wonderful and caring people who will brighten up your day. Whilst at work, we receive daily updates including naps, mealtimes and nappy changing during her day. If any concerns, we are updated throughout by phone calls or messages through the app.
We get a thoughtful note every evening to say what she has been interested in whilst enjoying her day. The observations are wonderful, including photos/videos of her playing in her nursery life.
Meal times are freshly home-made by the chef which she loves.
The management team are very supportive and approachable. When asking about enquiries or our booking pattern, their admin is helpful and quick to communicate with us.
Lastly, like to say thank you to all the team for the hard work you do.

We understand how difficult it can be to hand your most precious little person over to someone else, but rest assured we are one big happy family at Kindred Bournemouth and your little girl is cared for like she was one of our own. We love our app and how it allows us to communicate with our parents and let us show you all the moments of awe and wonder your child is creating helping her to grow and thrive whilst she is on her early years journey with us. We shall pass your compliments on to our chef and let our staff read your kind words.

My 6-year-old went to this nursery previously before she went to school and she blossomed in the nursery.
I agree they have had a lot of change of staff but they always made sure the children was the heart of the care at all times. Now the nursery have a new manager and staff settled in each room. My daughter loves her key worker who gives me updates of her day throughout the day via the app.
Thank you for everything you do for my daughter.

I have noticed a huge turnover of staff, some lovely staff left and since then I have definitely noticed a change in the way the nursery was run.
Children run about and get into accidents which I am well aware of but my child had a couple of big accidents whilst there which made me quite unsettled. I don't believe the safeguarding is up to standard at all.
I don't want to put the nursery down entirely. There are some lovely people who work there, who I am sure try their best. However, I paid a lot of money for my child's needs to be met and when they are not met it does make you worry about their safety and wellbeing when at nursery.
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.

Naturally, we feel disheartened to receive this review and we are so sorry about the experience your family has had. We have been working diligently with our Bournemouth team to enhance the quality of care and we have an unwavering commitment to continuing to improve our delivery of high-quality care and education throughout the nursery.
We have implemented significant enhancements throughout the nursery recently. One notable change is the appointment of a new, highly experienced management team. This team has and will play a pivotal role in reinforcing our dedication to continuous improvement and unparalleled quality.

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.
Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased to hear your child is very happy in the nursery and has built strong bonds with our other children.
