Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have recently moved to the St Ives branch from another nursery. The staff have been excellent in the transition of moving my little girl over and the start of nursery for my little boy. They have made us feel very welcome and relaxed with the transition. My little girl, who would get very upset about
the old nursery, now runs into her room and really enjoys coming!


Thank you very much for the service you are providing! Very happy!

My son has been at Kindred St Ives for nearly 9 months and has really settled in well. He is looked after really well and always appears to have had a great day. The staff are very friendly and give you the level of update/detail required. The nursery is managed exceptionally well and the communication
is excellent. It was recommended to me by 2 other people and I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending it to others. The attention to detail as well by some of the staff is remarkable, remembering my name as well as my son's and not just calling me mummy!

My daughter has attended the St Ives nursery for nearly a year, full time for the last 4 months. She has flourished and loves attending every day. The staff rotate toys and activities daily to keep her engaged as well as doing lots of singing and dancing which she loves. Communication was a bit of an
issue but they have now introduced an app which will be fantastic once they start utilising it more regularly. I loved seeing a photo of my daughter drawing with chalk part way through a tough day at work, it really lifted my spirits.

I have two children who attend this nursery and it’s the most fantastic setting, with wonderful management and staff!


The detail to attention to the rooms, the care and attention of the staff and the learning and development that my children have in the setting is second to none!


I have two extremely

happy children who are thriving at the nursery!


The secret garden and outside spaces for all ages are a big bonus! So glad to have found the nursery and been using it for over two years! Have recommended it to many many people!

Very happy to have found this nursery for my youngest. The staff, without exception, have always been very welcoming and approachable. The nursery itself is bright, and engaging and my son has thrived since starting here. Honest daily feedback is always given, and every child is seen as an individual.
Communication is good between transitions of rooms. The nursery are extremely flexible when it comes to nursery hours as often my work hours change therefore my son's hours need to change, and there is never a question. The manager is the core of the nursery and she makes it what it is. I am never in any doubt that my son is left in extremely capable hands who show as much dedication to him as I would at home.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.411)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.411) out of 10 for Kindred St Ives 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 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 4.811 for Kindred St Ives Nursery and Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.811
  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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred St Ives Nursery and Pre-school is based on 12 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.6
  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.
