Parent Reviews

"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."

"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."

"My son started this nursery because we moved to another house and city.
It has not been easy for him to settle in, but after a couple of weeks, he settled in perfectly. Now he's going to nursery with a smile. Thank you all staff for helping him settle in."

Edita S
"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."

Sharon Parnell
Nursery Manager

Hi, my name is Sharon. I have 30 of experience working in Early Years.

I am a qualified Level 5 in Early Years Management and have also completed my Level 3 in Forest School training. I have a deep understanding of early childhood development and education that is required to lead a successful team. AS a nursery manager I utilise my knowledge and experience to create an enriching and nurturing environment that caters to the unique needs of each child.

I am passionate about fostering a positive learning environment and take a personalised approach to understand and appreciate the distinct personalities of the children in our care so I can ensure that every child receives tailored support and encouragement.

When not in the nursery, I am a busy mum who enjoys time with my husband and twin girls adventuring and making special memories. I am also a keen baker, love gardening and love being out in nature.

Georgia White
Deputy Manager

Hello, I'm Georgia, the Deputy Nursery Manager at Kindred Hauxton.

I began my journey in childcare back in 2018 after transitioning from a career in Adult Care. My previous experience ignited my passion for helping children reach their full potential. and I'm thrilled to bring that enthusiasm to early years education.

I firmly believe in nurturing young children's mental wellbeing to give them the best start in life, which motivated me to achieve my Level 2 qualification in Children's and Young People's Mental Health. You will often see me participating in lively dance sessions or getting hands-on with messy play activities alongside the children.

Alongside being the deputy manager, I am also the setting's SENCO, ENCO and DSL.
