My two children have recently joined this setting and settled very quickly. It is nurturing and provides lots of opportunities for development. My daughter loves the weekly ballet lesson! The staff are wonderful and the office team are great at communication too. Highly recommend.

Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery! Every day we get great feedback on her day and loads of photos of all the fun activities! The staff are all kind, warm and friendly and know her so well. She's made some lovely little pals and plays outside lots, which she loves! The staff have always
been great about her allergies, and we feel safe and happy knowing she is well looked after every day.

Both my children go to Kindred Salisbury and they are so happy there. The staff are all so lovely and friendly and keep us updated daily on what they have been doing that day. Both children took a while to settle and would cry on drop off but they were immediately taken off me for a hug and it didn't
take long before they skipped in. I couldn't recommend the nursery enough.

Kindred Salisbury Day Nursery has been so warm and welcoming since my twin boys started at the setting. The communication has been excellent with regular updates and efficient responses to emails that I have felt reassured and confident in their care. Staff are always so friendly and approachable which
has really helped with settling my boys in to the setting.
The nursery is definitely child-centred and focuses very much on individual interests to aid development. My boys get very excited about their days at nursery which is lovely! The app is brilliant for keeping parents informed. I would strongly recommend this nursery to anyone.

We have had a wonderful experience at Kindred. Our twins started here last October after a move down from Manchester. I was a little worried about them settling as they were 20 months and used to their old nursery but they took to everything as if they’d always been there thanks to the wonderful staff.
They keep us really well updated, we get lots of photos and information about their day, they do lots of different activities, have plenty of outdoor play and the staff are really kind, caring and you can see the children love being with them. I would recommend the nursery to anyone, the setting is also so lovely and full of interesting things, and a perfect size. We are very happy indeed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little one has been going to Kindred for nearly a year. The staff have all been really friendly and made it easy for him to settle in (they were very happy to keep his nap routine which was a relief). I love how they update me with photos and comments of what activities he's been doing and its always
a nice mix of outside play, singing, painting, sensory etc. The facilities always look clean and he comes home clean and tidy and dressed appropriately for the weather. Their communication is always quick and clear. He also must enjoy the food as he always eats everything! I honestly have nothing negative to say as its been a really great experience for our little one and us!

We started looking for a nursery for our daughter, and nowhere had the “wow” factor or felt like the one. Then I came across Kindred and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! Everything about Kindred is just what you want in a nursery, they have really helped my daughter blossom and I’d 100% pick Kindred
again for when my son goes to nursery! Staff are lovely and so friendly too which is an added bonus.

Our child has been attending Kindred Salisbury for the past 8 months. We are so pleased we chose this nursery. It has a home-from-home feel and the staff are wonderful. We are sent regular communication about progress and weekly pictures where we can see all the varied activities he gets up to. He spends
lots of time playing and exploring outdoors and comes home having learnt something new most days! Would highly recommend.

We love everything about Kindred Salisbury. Our daughter loves going to nursery and settled incredibly quickly. The staff are all so warm and caring. They know and understand her so well, it’s very reassuring. The communication we get from her key worker and the wider team is also great. We love seeing
the little updates on what she has been doing, from ballet class on Mondays to the little problem solving exercises they do.

We love Kindred Salisbury Day Nursery and Pre-School. The staff and management are so friendly and have really helped our son to settle in well to the nursery, he loves going, seeing his friends and doing all the great activities like identifying bugs in nature, science experiments, painting and walks
to the Forest School. The staff always communicate really well with us about how his day has been and what he ate for lunch and they are so approachable. We could not be happier with our choice of nursery. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have had two children attend Kindred Salisbury Day Nursery and Pre-School since they have been small babies and they have settled and transitioned between rooms and staff really well. The nursery have always been happy to accommodate extra hours around my work too, which has been incredibly helpful.
The staff are really friendly and give me a good handover of the day, as well as regular posts on the app. They cover a really good range of outdoor, indoor, musical, crafty, messy and 'learning' activities. My children always look forward to going in and always come home happy, which I think speaks volumes.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have one daughter in The Nest Baby Room and one in The Swans Preschool Room and I can't recommend the nursery enough. Both settled very quickly at Kindred Salisbury Day Nursery and Pre-School from the age of eleven months and absolutely love it. They spend a lot of time outdoors, are encouraged to
be creative and explore activities they really enjoy. There is a great range of structured learning and open-end play. As a smaller nursery setting, the children all have a lovely bond and the staff really care for and nurture the little ones. Both of my daughters have thrived at Kindred Salisbury Day Nursery and Pre-School, both developmentally and socially. Being able to interact with children their own age has been especially invaluable during the pandemic and the staff have provided a safe and happy environment for them. Both girls are always excited to go into the nursery and often ask to stay longer, they also love the food provided!

We have two children at the nursery, aged two and four. They both love spending time there, no tears at drop off. The staff are friendly, welcoming and professional. They take great care of both our kids as well as supporting them in their development and keeping us informed of their progress. We get
photos and stories shared with us daily through the app, so we always know what is going on and they have been incredibly flexible and professional in their response to the pandemic.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.870)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.870) out of 10 for Kindred Salisbury 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.870 for Kindred Salisbury Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.87
  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 Salisbury Nursery and Pre-School is based on 13 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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8, which has been reached with 13 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.
