20 April 2026
Hugo has been at Kindred in Harlow for around two years, and the difference from his first nursery is amazing. He used to dread going, but now he loves it and constantly talks about his day. Every teacher is "his favourite," especially Annet, which shows how caring the staff are.
The activities
are both fun and educational, and he always comes home excited to share what he's done. He's built great friendships, and the food is fantastic, nutritious and varied, and has encouraged him to try things he'd never eat at home.
He also loves the garden, which is perfect for his energy. We even added extra hours not just for convenience, but because it's so beneficial and great value for his development. We couldn't recommend Kindred in Harlow more.

I was so worried about sending my little one to nursery but that all changed on collection day after his first full day. He was laughing and playing in the garden and left happy. He's been happy ever since!
The staff genuinely care and always offer a positive update or story about his day.
He
also somehow sleeps better than at home and eats like a King!

I cannot recommend Kindred Harlow Pre-School enough. From day one, the team has been incredibly caring and attentive with my child. They take the time to understand her needs and always make sure she is happy, well-fed, and engaged.
The food provided is nutritious and she genuinely enjoys it-which
as a parent is such a relief! Beyond that, she absolutely loves the games and activities they plan throughout the day. It's clear the staff put real thought into making every session fun and enriching.
What stands out most is how well the team works together. They are kind, professional, and clearly love what they do. My daughter has thrived here, and I'm so grateful for the joy and confidence she's gained. Thank you to all the colleagues at Kindred Harlow!

Great nursery and are very supportive with my child's needs. He struggles with illnesses a lot and Irene and all of the staff have been so understanding. It's a great environment and the children are always busy doing fun things. Also want to say that my sons key worker goes above and beyond for my
son as he has difficulties leaving me and his dad, she makes sure he feels safe and has a good time. Thank you to all of the staff and management at Kindred for their unconditional support.

This nursery has been brilliant! My son was at another nursery before kindred and he was petrified but as soon as we moved him to kindred he settled in so well. He even found a best friend. This is definitely one of the best nurserys in harlow. Irene and Billie and all the staff are very welcoming.
I couldn't be more happier with the services provided.
23 March 2026
I really want to give a huge thank you to Irene and all Kindred Nursery in Harlow. They welcome us as a family, they've been always kind and attentive with my son Leonardo. I'm feeling safe as mum when he goes to nursery and this is really important for me. I really recommend this nursery to
everyone!!!

We have had a very positive experience with the nursery. The staff are kind, supportive, and clearly care about the children's wellbeing and development. Our child has become more confident, happy, and engaged since attending. We are grateful for the nurturing environment and the dedication shown by
the team.
23 March 2026
From day one Irene and the staff have been amazing. They are very friendly, caring and dedicated to the children. My son has been loving it since he has started. I can truly see a massive development in his self confidence and interaction with others, thanks to the teachers. We are always informed
of everything in reasonable time which shows how professional they are.
19 March 2026
My daughter has been here for 2.5 years now. We have seen the management and staff change. Introduced by an almost whole new team. The transition was handled so well, there was no upset and went incredibly smoothly from my parental perspective. The nursery always keeps me up to date with what they
are doing each day and each week. I love the pictured updates on the app to see the learning along the 0-5 curriculum. There is a menu that is easily seen a you can take a leaflet home to know what they're eating whilst here. The team is so friendly and have a genuine care for the children, their growth and learning. My daughter thrives here, such a positive and warm environment. I could not think of a better nursery to send a child to. Warm and nurturing.
11 March 2026
I am extremely happy with the nursery and the wonderful care our child receives. From the very beginning, the staff have been welcoming, friendly, and genuinely attentive to each child's needs. It's clear that they are passionate about early childhood development and creating a safe, nurturing
environment.
The activities are well-planned and engaging, supporting learning through play while encouraging creativity, confidence, and social skills.
Thank you Irene for your dedication, support and passion in what you do.
You have a wonderful team who together do great things.Well done!!!
Highly recommend!

My son absolutely loved coming to nursery. There were a lot of changes towards the end of 2024 beginning of 2025 in which needed to happen due to the poorly run management and staff issues, but since the change of management Irene has completely changed that place around, we didn't want to leave in
the end. Irene personally got to know all the children on a deep level, and in particular my son and was genuinely a warm person. I noticed a massive difference in the nursery and also my son's behaviour. Few other staff members really helped Wren along his journey too and everyone was so lovely, the activities provided were so much better and Wren enjoyed trying different healthy hot meals.
Thank you so much

Both of my children attend this nursery, one in the baby group and the other in preschool, and they are both very happy. I can clearly see how much progress they are making thanks to being around other children their age.
The staff and teachers are wonderful - caring, professional, and truly
dedicated to the children. The new management is fantastic and has made many positive changes, which really shows in how well the nursery is run.
The meals are great and very varied. My children always eat everything, and there are plenty of snacks, fruits, milk, and water provided, so parents don't need to bring their own. They also provide nappies, which is a huge help.
I really appreciate how well they handle allergies - it's very clear who has allergies, and they have proper safety procedures in place (including allergy pens), which gives me great peace of mind.
The observation and updates are excellent. Every few weeks, we receive detailed feedback about our children's progress and develop

My daughter has attended Kindred Harlow since August 2023. We moved to Harlow in a hurry and the staff were very supportive with allocating a place for us at very late notice. As parents we noticed a period of time during 2024 when there was a lot of staff turnover and standards seemed to slip. But
in the last year it's back to being a fab environment. Saying that, my daughter has enjoyed going to nursery throughout her whole time. The staff in the babies room are caring and professional and the environment is nurturing and safe. Now she is in the preschool room and she loves all the activities, especially the ones from external visitors such as football and dance pop. We have seen her develop and grow and make great friendships with the children and nursery staff alike. She'll be leaving to start school in September 2026 and I know she'll be completely ready and be at the right developmental level to thrive.

We have changed nursery about 5 months ago when are son was just under 2 worrying how he will adjust but took him only about 2 days and he absolutely loves it, all staff and management are great, would definitely recommend!
24 February 2026
I have had my son at Kindred for 2 years already. With new management, everything changed in the past year. I see a lot of improvement; there are lots of activities, and the stuff is amazing. My son is now happy, and he enjoys the nursery every day.
24 February 2026
My son has been at kindred nursery since September 2024 and the staff have been brilliant helping him develop from learning to walk to his communication skills.
The nursery has supported us with things we are implementing at home such as less naps and easing the dummy off him. Would 100% recommend
this nursery to anyone who is considering it.
All staff go above and beyond from the key workers, kitchen staff and cleaners.
24 February 2026
My son recently started at this nursery, and I honestly couldn't be happier with our experience so far. From the very beginning, the manager, Irene, has been incredibly warm, professional, and genuinely caring. She runs the nursery with such attention to detail and heart, you can immediately tell
how passionate she is about creating a safe, nurturing environment for the children.
Safety was my absolute top priority when choosing a nursery and this environment truly gives me peace of mind. The nursery is always clean, secure, and well-organised. I feel completely confident leaving my son there each day knowing he is protected and cared for at all times.
Irene and her team truly go above and beyond. Choosing a nursery is such a big decision for any parent and I feel incredibly grateful that we found this one. I would highly recommend it to any family looking for a safe, fun, caring environment for their child.
20 February 2026
Every member of staff are incredible and very friendly!
Couldn't ask for more.
They have a great app that has updates constantly, which allows you to know what your child is doing, eating, going toilet and more.
All in all, brilliantly run organisation!
Thanks for making us feel
welcome and comfortable.

There has been such a positive change in the nursery over the past year. My son loves his teachers and friends in the preschool room and they're always doing lovely activities. If I ever need to speak to staff about anything I know I can message via the app or call the nursery which gives me peace
of mind.
15 January 2026
My Little boy has been going here since May 2025 and I am so grateful for the support and care they gave to help him and me when he settled into the nursery. They are understanding and provided lovely updates about his day and update the app promptly to update about meals and naps. The children are
provided with many fun activities alongside educational resources and I have seen him flourish!
