Kindred Bournemouth Nursery and Pre-School

My son has attended Little Hen's since he was 14 months old - he is now 3 and in pre-school. Throughout this time the quality of care he has received has been excellent. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and approachable and have helped me through some tough potty training times!! I will continue to recommend this nursery to all of my friends and family and there is no other nursery I would trust to take care of my 8-month-old baby when I return to work later this year.

We are really pleased with our child's progress. At first, she was very unsure and upset but the staff were very good at reassuring us both. She now says she loves school and looks forward to going each time. The activities they do seem varied and interesting. I like the food they offer.

My daughter is very happy at the nursery and always participates in a wide range of activities. Her key worker has built an excellent relationship with her and her mental and social skills are developing all the time.

A happy, stimulating, safe learning environment. You get the impression the staff really care for the children.

It took my son a while to settle, the staff are great with him and settled him to his needs. He now goes into nursery happily. I would recommend Little Hens to anyone, great nursery. His key worker is brill as all the staff are.

Had my two children attend from 6 months up to preschool. Great team, little turnover of staff and my children really love their key workers. Always friendly and helpful. Indoor space and outdoor space really good.

Fantastic nursery for both my children who attend 2 days a week. The pre-schooler is always more chatty than usual after attending and very keen to go. He has attended for over 2 years. My youngest in the Little Chicks comes back very lively and most weeks comes home having learned a new skill.

There is lots of outdoor space for them to run around which is partially covered so not weather dependent and the addition of the new forest school is fantastic.

Overall a lovely, friendly nursery which I would defiantly recommend.

We are really pleased with the care our son receives when he attends Little Hens. The staff are all professional and very caring. Our son has had some hearing and speech problems and all the staff has gone to great efforts to help him develop especially his key worker. It is always clean and our son loves the outdoor areas. The management team are also really helpful and efficient.

As a hugely fussy and arguably over protective Mum, choosing a nursery was a MASSIVE 'issue' to me. I only wanted the best for my little girl! Well, she has been happily attending the nursery now for almost a year and I have only have great things to say - so much so that my little boy will be following in her footsteps in the not too distant future! The staff are fabulous. Highly recommend.

My Son attended Little Hens before starting school and my daughter currently attends the pre school, she absolutely loves it and has formed a close bond with her key worker along with all other staff in her room. I always get a full report of her day, what she's eaten etc. My favourite aspect of the nursery is how the outside space is used, the children are outside all year round which is a huge plus. My daughter will be sad to leave in the summer.

Previously collected my Grandson from Little Hens before he started school and now I collect my Granddaughter(s) regularly. The staff, the rooms, the environment are first class. I feel the children are truly cared for in every way and it's always a pleasure to collect and witness children happily engaged in whatever they are doing inside and outside. I am always given a full rundown of what they've been doing, the food they have eaten etc etc. My Grandchildren speak fondly of the nursery and the staff alike which speaks volumes.

My daughter has been at the nursery for the last year and I am very happy with it. the nursery staff are absolutely excellent and feel like a second (more fun!) family for my daughter. There is a good amount of outdoor space which is currently being worked on to make it more stimulating. Each week I receive an email memo to tell me about what my daughter is working on and any general nursery news, I went to see a lot of other childcare settings before deciding on this one and I can honestly say that the motivation of staff, their caring/fun/educational attitude and the services offered are unparalleled locally.
