Kindred Little Learners is a warm, traditional nursery set within the peaceful surroundings of Havelock Recreation Ground.
Our experienced and long-standing team provides consistent and nurturing care, building strong bonds with every child and family. We use basic signing throughout our nursery to support communication and help all our children feel included.
We take great pride in our traditional values, placing a strong emphasis on kindness and politeness. Children learn to say "please" and "thank you", take turns, and speak to staff using "Mrs", "Miss" or "Mr". This helps them develop confidence and respect for others, whilst also gently preparing them for the expectations of school life.
Join us at Kindred Little Learners Nursery and Pre-School for our Open Day on Saturday 11th October from 09:30 - 14:30.
On your visit, you'll meet our team, explore our spaces, and see the expert care we give every child, every day.
Every day at our nursery is a new adventure, filled with laughter, learning, and lots of time to play. We aim to create a rhythm that feels both comforting and exciting; children know what to expect, but there’s always something fresh to discover.

At Kindred Nurseries, the safety and well-being of our children, teams and families are our highest priorities. Safeguarding is woven into every aspect of our operations. We are dedicated to creating a safe, supportive and nurturing environment where children, staff and families can thrive. Read more about our commitment to safety and wellbeing.
Our nursery features a spacious, easily accessible car park located just off the main road. This dedicated parking area ensures a smooth and safe experience for parents and guardians, even during peak drop-off and pick-up times, when we can have up to 20 parents arriving simultaneously. This setup minimizes congestion on the main road and provides a secure environment for your child's transition to and from our care.
Our nursery is built on a foundation of traditional values, where we take immense pride in fostering kindness, respect, and politeness. We believe that a strong emphasis on good manners is essential for a child's development. Our team gently guides children to use "please" and "thank you," practice sharing and turn-taking, and address staff with "Mrs.," "Miss," or "Mr." This approach not only helps children grow into confident, respectful individuals but also provides a seamless transition by preparing them for the social and behavioral expectations of school life.
We believe that a positive start is crucial, so our settling-in process is a flexible, parent-led partnership. We invite you and your child to join us for an initial session at a time that works best for you. While we recommend a minimum of two sessions, we can arrange for additional visits if you or your child needs more time to feel comfortable.
During these sessions, we'll complete essential paperwork, like funding forms, and work together on an "All About Me" book. This helps us gather crucial information about your child and family, from their unique personality to their daily routines. Our goal is to accommodate the individual needs of each child and family, ensuring a smooth and happy transition into nursery life.
We are committed to providing the highest standard of care and attention for every child. Our staff-to-child ratios are carefully maintained to ensure a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment, and they strictly adhere to all UK regulations.
Our ratios are as follows:
Babies (Under 2 years): 1 staff member to every 3 children (1:3)
Toddlers (2-3 years): 1 staff member to every 5 children (1:5)
Preschoolers (3-4 years): 1 staff member to every 8 children (1:8)
This commitment to regulated ratios guarantees that each child receives the individual support and guidance they need to thrive.
We prioritize outdoor play as a core part of a child's day and aim to get the children outside as often as possible. Our secure outdoor areas are utilized daily, weather permitting.
To ensure the safety and well-being of every child, our staff conducts regular risk assessments, especially during periods of extreme weather. In the summer, for example, we are mindful of sun exposure and adjust our schedule to ensure children get ample outdoor time before and after the peak sunlight hours of 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This careful approach allows us to make the most of every season while keeping children safe and comfortable.
