My child goes in happily every morning, which gives me real peace of mind that she's well cared for. She enjoys the meals, and it's great to see such a healthy and delicious selection of food by the chef. The staff are super friendly, and we couldn't be happier with the level of care they provide.
She loves the outdoor space, has made wonderful friends, and always comes home happy. The app updates are a big help too, I really appreciate the detailed information on her day.
It would be great to see things like day trips, quarterly parents' evenings, and a larger indoor space for the 2+ group, but I understand improvements are already planned. Overall, a fantastic nursery and highly recommend!

My son started at hauxston nursery and he absolutely loves it. All the nursery workers are lovely and made him feel part of the family. They engage in so many activities and come home with lovely pictures too. He's settled in so well and really enjoys going
26 March 2026
We really like this nursery. I especially appreciate that the children spend a lot of time outside and have plenty of messy play, which is something that isn't always easy to allow at home.
Every time I pick my child up, he is happy and it's clear that he enjoys being there.
Thank you to the team
for taking such good care of the children.

Our daughter runs happily into nursery each morning. As working parents this gives us such peace of mind that she is happy there. The staff are warm and friendly, it is clear they know our child well. Staff plan great activities for the children and we feel our child is being well developed here. We
are going to send our second child here too because we are pleased with the care. It offers Term Time only. The downside is the lack of space for preschoolers inside but this is compensated by the huge outdoor meadow in the summer time. Management are very responsive to queries. Would recommend if local.

We are so pleased we found Kindred Hauxton for our little girl. I couldn't imagine being happier with the staff looking after her or how she spends her days at nursery. I have complete peace of mind that she's having a great day, being exposed to different experiences daily in a safe, genuinely
caring, family-feel environment. Staff are inventive, kind and really communicative. We love the personalised individual updates we get explaining what she's been up with pictures and the astute comments on her development.
She is always so happy heading out the door each morning to go to nursery - we couldn't ask for more!

My daughter loves going to Kindred Hauxton where she has been going for nearly a year. Sometimes a bit hesitant in the morning, but once she is in her room, she is very happy & made to feel very welcome. The staff are very attentive, positive, have great communication & she has developed a
lot since she has been there. I would recommend Kindred Hauxton to anyone looking for a local nursery.
13 March 2026
My son has been there almost 12 months and the staff have really made an effort to comfort and support him and to get to know him. They have also taken an individual approach and have been on board with 'early potty training' as this was the norm for him at home and I am really grateful for this!
Also lots of outdoor space and outdoor time. Would (and have) recommended the nursery.
12 March 2026
This is a lovely nursery and its greatest asset is the staff. Our little one likes every single one of them, and they are the reason she feels safe and happy there, which gives working parents real peace of mind. I was extremely anxious about leaving my little baby, but she is always well looked
after and they simply know how to work with babies and toddlers.
23 January 2026
We love this nursery! The staff have been so helpful, flexible and friendly. Our little girl has such a great time there and they helped her settle really well. They do messy play, lots of reading and provide lovely updates and observations. We would highly recommend!
24 March 2025
The nursery has lovely staff who care so well for the children. They are always doing fun and exciting new things, which my child loves! I've been really impressed with the food, there is always such a good variety!
24 March 2025
Our son loves nursery and happily goes in each day. They have regular focus weeks, at least once every 3 weeks, and this gives us specific feedback on how he is getting on. He has made friends and loves the nursery staff. We appreciate that there is plenty of outside space which is being constantly
improved and adjusted for the children in the nursery based on their interests. He has such variety to his day and is always keen to tell us something he is proud of or enjoyed from his day.
17 March 2025
Couldn't be happier with the staff and vibe at kindred. My son loves going in to nursery everyday and I struggle to get him to want to leave most days. Staff are brilliant and very polite and considerate. Thanks to everyone that makes my son's day so easy and engaging. Awesome job.
10 March 2025
We couldn't be happier with this nursery. Our daughter goes in happily waving goodbye to us. They do so many activities with the children and keep parents well informed. They listen to what's going on in your child's life and genuinely care about giving a good service. Would highly recommend the
nursery.
10 March 2025
I am so pleased my daughter attends this nursery. She was very clingy and apprehensive for the first few weeks, however, all the staff and especially her key worker have made her so comfortable and happy to attend in such a short space of time. I love seeing the picture and written updates that are
always so detailed - you can tell the staff really care about children.
13 February 2025
We couldn't be happier with kindred. The staff are truly exceptional kind, and patient in every child's well-being and development. My daughter absolutely loves going each day and always comes home super happy.
The activities are creative, educational, and very fun. The nursery also does a
fantastic job of keeping parents informed with updates and photos, so we never feel out of the loop.
The facilities are clean, safe, and perfectly suited for little ones. We've seen such growth in our daughter's confidence, social skills, and curiosity since she started.
We highly recommend Kindred to any parent looking for a stimulating environment for their child.
13 March 2024
My baby is really happy at this nursery. He has been going for a month now and never cried at handover, even putting his arms out to the staff. The staff update me using the app letting me know when he has slept, eaten or had his nappy changed.
13 March 2024
Our son started at 12 months in January. I was really nervous about him starting nursery, but I shouldn't have been! His keyworker has been fantastic since day 1 and really helped both him and us settle into nursery.
The whole team are hugely responsive and caring to the individual needs of each
child, and has been fantastic with communication. The staff will happily message us as parents if we have any concerns (e.g. to reassure that my son is ok after a teary drop off) and the app is fantastic for keeping me up to date with what my son has been doing, seeing some photos etc.
My son has done plenty of outside play and messy play and generally had fun since he joined - we are really happy with the nursery.
24 November 2023
My son always has a lovely day when attending, the staff are attentive, helpful and caring and always offer a range of fun activities for him to get stuck in too. The outside area is wonderful, especially for my son who is very much an active outdoorsy child! They have a sheltered outdoor classroom
and an open green area with a great range of toys.
28 August 2023
My daughter has been attending this setting since 2020. She absolutely adores exploring the outdoor area. Staff encourage and support her in making dens and making role-play scenes out of loose parts. I have thoroughly enjoyed feeling connected to the setting and updated on her learning and
development through the regular updates on their online system. The staff greet my daughter daily with so much compassion and warmth - allowing her to start her day feeling happy and safe. I receive feedback on how much she eats and she always enjoys her food that is cooked fresh on site. I always have a washing machine load to do at the end of the day which I personally find fantastic, as I know that mess equals fun.
23 September 2019
My daughter attended SNAP! for a few months before starting reception class.
The staff were always really nice and approachable. The on-line Tapestry system provided some nice progress reports.
She was happy there and made lots of friends. The outdoor area is probably the nicest feature, the kids
can run around, play safely, challenge themselves and form relationships. She always came back home covered in mud or paint, which shows they've been actively engaged.
The food and menus are very good, and she always complimented the lunches provided.
In short, we were really happy to entrust her there.
