Parent Reviews

"We love Kindred for our child. They are caring, supportive and genuinely make your child feel special. Nothing feels like too much trouble and our child has thrived in the environment, no matter what room they’ve been in."

A J
"This is a wonderful nursery with truly caring, children-focused staff who help and nurture every child's development focusing on lots of fun and making each day thoroughly enjoyable for the children. My son has flourished at this nursery and loves his time there."

Nichola D
"When choosing the best nursery for my daughter it had to be Kindred St Neots Nursery and Pre-school, they made going back to work a lot easier for me, knowing that she is looked after to the very best and always has the best time, the app is brilliant for keeping parents up to date, love seeing posts come through while I’m at work knowing she’s having a lovely day.
The staff are so lovely, the garden space they have is perfect so much room and activities for the kids."

Laura L
"Both of my children have attended this nursery (11 year old girl and 4 year old boy) the youngest of which has just started school. They still talk about how much they miss their time and the staff there. We always felt it was such a safe and educational space for the children, the things they have learned and the social skills they have picked up have been invaluable in making them who they are today. The staff always went out of their way to cater for each of the children's needs and to organise events, trips and visits from the local firemen, animal experts (along with the various animals) etc. The food is also of a very high standard, we've often had some brought home to us and we have even stolen the fish pie recipe for ourselves! I genuinely couldn't recommend Kindred St Neots Nursery and Pre-school enough!"

Leon M
"Our little girl is thriving at Kindred St Neots Nursery and Pre-school and I could honestly write forever about how wonderful all the staff are. They make you feel like part of the family and truly care about the children, always looking for ways to enhance what they do. They take time to get to know the children and do what they can to personalise their experiences when in their care. In addition, they go above and beyond to help! Not long after starting, we had concerns about our daughter's development (nothing to do with the nursery!) and arranged a meeting with the team, I can honestly say they were incredible, ensuring she got the support she needed. Not only that, but they continued to help even after the initial meeting and provided us with both the practical, and emotional, support we needed! Kindred St Neots Nursery and Pre-school are amazing and we are so thankful for everything they do."

Rebecca O
"Our son attends the nursery and he has come on in leaps and bounds in terms of physical and social abilities. He seems to have a great time in the sand pit and with all the activities that the nursery set for him to do.
The staff clearly work so hard to create variety and fun and they go on day trips outside of the nursery which is one of the big reasons we picked this nursery as not many others in the area do that."
