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.

My daughter has recently started nursery at the beginning of the year. She has settled in amazingly and has come along development wise really well. I enjoy the app and being able to see her observations and what she has been up to, especially when I am away with work. She always comes home happy.

My daughter has settled into nursery amazingly and loves coming to nursery. Staff keep me well informed about how she has been throughout the day, couldn't ask for much more. Good range of activities set daily, my daughter especially enjoys the messy activities and being outdoors. I love to see what
she has been doing through the Famly app.

This is a wonderful nursery. My son has settled so well here. The staff are all so welcoming and friendly, and they clearly care so much about the children which makes all the difference. They have been especially great over the past 6 months which have been difficult for everyone. Thank you Kindred
Salisbury.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We love Kindred Salisbury. Both of our children attend here and from day one we knew it was the right nursery for us. The staff are fab and really take the time to get to know the family as a whole. The key worker system works really well and the communication is great. Especially through these current
uncertain times, the whole staff team have been so reassuring throughout settling the children back in and doing an amazing job!
We would like to say a big thank you, our children adore the staff and get up to all kinds of fun activities! The environment is always clean, fun and stimulating and the staff are always smiling! A big thank you from us to you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending the nursery for 12 months now and with the support and attention she receives there she has blossomed into a lovely caring, sociable little girl. The staff are incredibly attentive and dedicated to making each day interesting and stimulating. The environment feels safe,
secure and welcoming, with lots of little areas outside for exploring. Mealtimes are well structured. My one and only criticism is that there is no holiday allowance. However, saying I like the flexible and accommodating ethos of the nursery and I always highly recommend the nursery and lovely team there to anyone who asks!

My son really enjoys going to nursery here. He gets to take part in a wide variety of activities, with lots of time spent outside in the forest garden. The inside space is always very clean and well looked after with a great range of play equipment.
We really enjoy seeing updates and photos on the
Famly app, as well as getting updates in person when we see the staff at pick up. We have confidence in the staff and feel they are very supportive and take any concerns we have seriously. We have always felt very happy leaving our son in their care.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.699)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.699) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.849 for Kindred Salisbury Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.849
  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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred Salisbury Nursery and Pre-School is based on 14 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.85
    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 14 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.
