What makes Kindred Cambourne unique?

Kindred Cambourne is a warm nursery setting with a big family feel. Our approach centres on ensuring our children learn through exciting and diverse experiences.

Parent Reviews

"Since day one Kindred felt like an extension of our family and have shown him (and now his sister) love and care consistently. I particularly wanted to do this review now that he has transitioned to reception class and wanted to acknowledge how beautifully that has happened and Kindred have been hugely important in making it so. In terms of giving them right social skills, personal resilience and academic head start, Kindred Cambourne worked so hard to prepare the children for the next exciting steps and it has paid off as he has transitioned with ease. We are so grateful to all of the kindred staff from curiosity crescent to learning lane who have all made their mark on his development. We are so lucky to have them as part of "our village" and cannot recommend them enough to look after our most precious little people."

Gareth D
"Excellent nursery - we looked at 8 nurseries and found this one to the best. It is safe, secure, has lots of space and staff are knowledgeable, approachable and friendly. Facilities are modern and clean and the food supplied is of great quality and very varied. Excellent value for money and will be sending any future children here."

Lisa Z
"My son has been going to Kindred Cambourne for three years and he absolutely loves it. The staff have been brilliant with him at every stage - kind, supportive and dedicated. They do such a great range of activities and lots of outdoor and active time, and have really helped support his development, particularly as he approaches the transition to primary school. I can't rate them highly enough."

S D
"Our daughter has been at this nursery since she was two years old and has always loved it. She moved through three rooms, from toddler to preschool room. All the staff are fantastic and dedicated to looking after the children and making their day fun. The children are busy doing messy/water play outside, baking, cooking, dancing, singing and so much more. The nursery celebrates festivals of all cultures and teaches the children the meanings of each of them. Our daughter is always looking forward to her nursery days and spending time with her friends."

Julia V
"My daughter has been attending Kindred for a few months now following being at a different nursery. She has come on leaps and bounds in the time she has been there and is always so happy to go in! I'm so happy with her progress and the relationships she has formed with the staff."

Kindred Cambourne Nursery and Pre-School FAQs

Yes, we love getting the children out and about. We go on weekly woodland walks where they can explore nature.

We have our own private car park, so you can drop off and pick up your child safely and easily.

We are one big family. We’re a loud, busy, and energetic team that loves to have fun; you’ll often find us dancing, dressing up, and coming together as a whole nursery as much as possible. We support each other every day, and we really, really love cake!

We keep you updated constantly through our app with photos and news. We also love to get families involved through craft days and donation drives, like bringing in veg to make soup together. We are a very diverse nursery, and we encourage our parents to share their own celebrations and cultures with us so we can all learn from each other.

We have great links with local schools. Teachers come in to meet the children, and we use photo albums of the schools to help the children get used to their new surroundings. We also have donated school uniforms and book bags for them to play with.

We usually run three sessions in the days before your child’s official start date:

Session 1: You stay with your child to meet their keyworker and fill in the "All About Me" book.

Session 2: Your child stays with us on their own. We’ll send you frequent updates and pictures through the app so you can see they are doing okay.

Session 3: A longer session to help them get used to the full nursery routine.

If your child hasn't quite settled by then, don't worry we are flexible and can offer more sessions until they feel at home.

We work closely with the Cambourne Children’s Centre, where we often donate our toys to help other families. We also organise foodbank collections for the local community through our links with the local church.
