What makes Kindred Little Learners Unique?

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.

Parent Reviews

  • "Our toddler was one of the very first to start in the baby room and the staff have been amazing at helping him settle in. We get regular updates that are linked to his development and he has a great time learning and playing. We knew from the open day that this was the nursery for us, such a warm welcoming feeling. The staff are experienced and friendly. Registering and communications have been very easy. Thank you for all that you do!"

  • "Outstanding nursery, management and team working there are superb. My son is happy, he is learning so many new things, he is constantly singing at home the song he learnt in nursery. I feel confident when I leave him that he has great care. He was attending a different nursery before and what a difference. Fantastic team and thanks to them for looking after little ones so well."

  • 'On starting our youngest at Little Learners, four years on from when our eldest daughter joined, we were very pleased to see that almost all the staff were still the same - a testament to how well the nursery is run and happy staff means happy children. Our daughter settled in very quickly and spends her time at home pretending she’s in ‘story time’ at nursery! The staff are very conscientious and attentive and it shines through their care. Recently our daughter had a medical episode and was given emergency medication in the event of a repeat episode. With no fuss the management took this on board, a clear plan was made for her care in the event of anything happening whilst under their care - as detailed as which member of staff would travel with her in the ambulance if required. I cannot fault their care, and trust them fully.'

  • We have two children at the nursery ages 2 and 4. The level of care the children receive is exceptional. The staff are well qualified and highly trained; they always behave in a professional manner towards the parents and children. All staff members are welcoming, from the kitchen to the room leaders to the office. They understand that each child has their unique ways and do their utmost to meet their needs and ensure they are happy. The daily activities seem well-organized, fun and educational. I believe my child’s individual needs are continuously met. A real stand-out quality of this nursery is that the management has a hands-on approach, they are fully aware of what is happening across all rooms. This is reflected in their presence across the classrooms and their relationships with the children and parents. This nursery has put my 4-year-old in good stead for starting school by providing her with a safe environment and the hard work of all the staff should be praised."

Kindred Little Learners Nursery and Pre-School FAQs

What are the designated parking and access arrangements for drop-off and pick-up?

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.

What is the unique ethos and philosophy of your nursery team?

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.

How do settling in sessions work?

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.

What are your staff-to-child ratios at the nursery?

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.

How often do children get to play outside at the nursery?

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.
