Parent Reviews

  • "As my son's journey comes to an end at Kindred, we as a family cannot thank everyone at kindred nursery enough. Our son started in the baby room and worked all the way up to pre-school. He is a confident, happy, sociable child ready for his next journey to school. He has been cared for, encouraged and supported more than I could have wished for. When necessary his key workers identified area's of additional support and implemented straight away, helped ease transitions through the journey and always put his needs first along with his peers highly recommend!!"

  • "My niece really loves coming to nursery at Kindred Girton. My sister was very nervous about having to go back to work and the management team made sure both she and my niece were comfortable and settled. There really is a family feel and all the staff care. The children seem to have so much fun there and she's always telling me about what she's been up to with her friends."

    Niki H

  • "Really lovely nursery, where my son has continued to show growth in his development. Through songs and activities, the staff are great at making learning fun. These have been great building blocks for building my sons confidence, whether it be through circle time and talking about their weekends (social interaction), numbers and phonics (education) or garden time to free play. My son has made some lovely friends and has a lovely key worker whom he adores. Staff always friendly, professional and accommodate where they can. Had a really good experience here and would recommend."

    Francesca B

  • "We would highly recommend Girton Kindred! Our little girl has been there since she was one. The people are everything we could have asked for. There's a very low turnover of staff and the wonderful managers and room leaders go above and beyond. Our daughter is now two, she goes three days a week and she looks forward to seeing the staff every week. She natters on about the room leaders all week! She was a very clingy baby who wouldn't let others hold her, so it could have gone either way, but she's never looked back. The staff are accommodating of different family routines, cook delicious food for the children on site and are a wonderful group of genuine people. We feel we couldn't have found a more flexible, down to earth nursery."

    R F

  • "A brilliant nursery! We are so happy that we chose Kindred. The staff and management are so kind, helpful and knowledgeable. They care about everything they do with the children's happiness and overall well-being as number one priority. My child has come on so well with their education, skills and confidence since starting at Kindred and that is testament to the team. They love the food, playtime and have made many friends. Kindred is also great value for money which we are so thankful for. We look forward to their sibling joining soon too. Thank you for everything you do."

Hello, my name is Emma. I have worked in childcare for over a decade and have been at Kindred Girton since the beginning of 2022.

My childcare journey started as a student with me studying to become a Level 3 practitioner. Since this have achieved a Level 4 Advanced Practitioner qualification. 

I have worked in many roles throughout the years including keyworker, room leader, deputy manager and nursery manager. From the moment I began my study in 2010 I knew that I wanted to support every child in my care to develop a lifelong love for learning. 

I am passionate about an environment where all families feel supported, and all children thrive in their learning and development.

Sophie Smith

Throughout this time, I have become Level 3 qualified in Early Years, I am the ENCO representative (Equality & Needs Co-ordinator), MHFA, SENCO & DSL.

As my journey and career has blossomed over the years my passions have remained true to my initial ones in my early years of childcare - 'Ensuring all children feel safe, secure, and represented within our nursery enabling and supporting them to thrive in learning, development, natural curiosity, and exploration.

This diversity, combined with our focus on building strong relationships, ensures a nurturing and broad-minded environment for every child.

What links do you have with local schools to prepare my child for their next step?

We maintain key connections with local primary schools to support a confident transition. Our preparation includes:

School Visits: Teachers from local schools come into the nursery to meet and interact with the children in a familiar setting.

Information Sharing: We share school open day event posters and information to keep parents fully informed about the application and transition process.

How do your settling in sessions work?

We offer a structured three-session settling in process designed for a gentle transition:

Session 1 (1 hour): The parent stays with the child to meet the key person and complete the 'All About Me' book and necessary paperwork.

Session 2 (2 hours): The child is left for a longer period to build confidence independently.

Session 3 (4 hours): The child stays for an extended session, experiencing a substantial portion of the nursery routine.

If this structure does not suit your family, we are very flexible and can easily adjust and customise the sessions to meet the unique needs of every child and family.
