My daughter enjoys her time in this nursery. She's always excited to come in. She has learned a lot while in this nursery and we are grateful to all the staff members. They are all kind and friendly. Their communication and the app is great as well.

I cannot fault the staff at Kindred Orpington. No question is too silly and no request is too much. They are so attentive with the children & you can see the bonds each child has with the staff. I am quite a worrisome parent, and the care my children receive & the updates throughout the day put my mind at rest. All the staff, from the nursery teachers through to the nursery manager & deputy managers, genuinely care about the children. They take their time to get to know the childrens personalities individually helping them through every obstacle and milestone.

Kindred Orpington is a wonderful nursery with a caring, diverse team that work hard to make sure the children are always happy. They plan daily fun activities as well as special events to ensure the children are always reaching their full potential. Their communication is great, and you never feel out of reach for support and reassurance when leaving your little one with them.

I'm happy with the level of care however I was very concerned by the lack of air con/ cooling facilities when it was hot. The air con unit in the entrance does not work and there is nothing in the rooms, I felt bad leaving her there for the day. Something needs to be done about this. However the staff are lovely, my child enjoys the toys, food and leaders on their room

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery at Kindred. Always comes home looking like shes had a great day playing and exploring. She eats well there and as parents we are kept well informed of all her actions throughout the day. I know all the staff are lovely but if I had one bit of advice it would be to introduce all the staff who would be in the room with her as i see faces I don't know a lot, but as I said they are all lovely. They've also been really accomodating with job changes and emergency pick ups by another member of our family. Couldn't recommend them more.

Fantastic nursery. Everyone cares for the kids so well. They are happy and stimulated. They form close bonds. Nothing is too much to assist parents. Thank you for all you have done for our children, it is appreciated

We absolutely love Kindred nursery. Our child has been attending for two years and is learning lots and has come on leaps and bounds. The staff and management are great and really care about the children. Would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been attending Kindred Orpington since March 2024 when she had just turned one. Overall she is very well cared for and enjoys her time there. She often comes home saying or doing things we haven't taught her at home. She has formed a strong bond with her key worker from the Baby Room who still goes above and beyond for her, despite her now being in Toddler Room. There have been a number of staff changes in Toddler room over recent months, however, the long term staff are excellent. I look forward to our second baby starting there later in the year.

Our daughter has attended the nursery since they were 12months old. She is now 20 months old and attends 4 days a week. Every morning she is so excited to attend, she loves the food, her friends and most importantly the staff. She has formed lovely and close relationships with all the Kindred staff, they are caring, thoughtful and great communicators. The activities they arrange are varied and garden facilities are great. I'm so pleased we chose Kindred as her nursery as she is thriving with their support!

Our daughter has been attending Kindred Orpington since April last year and she absolutely loves it, the staff are all super friendly and she has really bonded with a number of them. She has great fun every day doing different activities and often coming home very messy, which in my eyes is a sign of a day of fun! It has made our nursery experience very easy and we are very happy with it.

My 2.5-year-old has been here for 2 years. They're fabulous. The staff are all so friendly and caring. My 2nd child has been welcomed at pick-up times and everyone has been so excited- really felt like family. They do lots of activities. Appear to eat well. Most staff know his name even not in his room. Recommend.

Excellent staff members, I love that they update us by sending photos and a list of what my child has or hasn't eaten. My child comes back home every day with a smile and explains how much she's enjoyed the different activities that were available.

Our son has been attending since mid-January 2024 and has settled in very well. They give us regular updates via their app, with lots of fun activities they have been doing. The staff are very friendly and our son has bonded well with them.

My granddaughter goes to this nursery and is very happy. When I pick her up she is always smiling and enjoys her day. The toddler room staff are chatty and friendly and she has lots of fun, the garden is lovely and nice to see her running around with her friends.

My daughters have been attending this setting since they were two and have been very happy here. The staff are lovely and very helpful. Two particular members of staff have been a constant source of stability and are firm favourites.

My child has been attending Kindred Orpington (Babies Room) since September 2023 and is very happy there. The nursery has a large outdoor space with lots of activities, which was an important factor for us in choosing it. The children do plenty of organised developmental play as well as free play. Immediately after Kindred took over running the nursery the staff were in a state of flux, with quite a few agency workers, but this has now resolved. The staff who have been recruited are kind & on the ball.
31 January 2024
In early 2023, Kindred took over this nursery, after the transition they hired a new nursery manager to manage and lead the nursery, working together with a long-serving staff member (deputy manager who everyone loves). Their dedication to making sure the children have a safe and friendly environment, whilst adjusting and aligning to new ownership values and ways is admirable. The staff in the preschool room are amazing at helping the children learn and gain their trust in a fun environment. Three other staff members are great at ensuring babies and toddlers have an organised calmness, working together across rooms to suit the children's needs. This is so important at such a developmental age for our children. Through the teamwork illustrated in recent months, the ladies are really building out a fun safe environment for the children to thrive at such an impressionable stage in their lives. Well done ladies.

My son, who is two, has attended since he was seven months old. I really like Sunnyfields. It was the most homely and welcoming of all the settings we looked at. The permanent staff are wonderful. He has formed strong bonds with his room carers. The site managers are a pleasure to deal with. The menu, especially lunch (the main meal), is varied and reasonably healthy. I appreciate the effort that goes into the “extras” Sunnyfields provides - highlights being the parents’ Cluedo night and summer fun days. One of the staff built the wooden garden train with her dad - an example of the commitment that goes into making it such a lovely place. There have been issues with staff retention and central comms, particularly around the takeover, but the former is, I think, just reflective of the state of the childcare industry, and the latter will hopefully improve with time. What really matters is I am very happy to leave my son here. He is learning and having fun.

I am pleased with the nursery; they are caring and organised and provide a safe and interesting environment for children with a holistic approach to childcare. My son, age 3, enjoys his time there and has grown in confidence, and I feel reassured he is looked after very well.

Really good. Staff polite. Great playground. Good size rooms for the children. No complaints. Staff have been very informative in telling me, as a father, how my child has been doing in the nursery and also building confidence and learning skills.
