Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders work together to ensure children identified as not making expected progress have support plans and interventions to help them progress towards clearly identified targets. The special educational needs and/or disabilities coordinator spoke to the inspector about how they support children with special educational needs.

Outdoor space

Outdoors, leaders ensure coaches expertly challenge children's good balance, coordination and core strength. Children persevere as they attempt balancing bean bags on their head and feet while travelling around obstacles, for example.

We viewed quite a few nursery’s in the area, this one stood out to us most and were my son instantly felt comfortable, they allowed us to view a few times before making our decision. And I’m so glad we did. My son is currently a few months into this nursery and thriving. The teachers are lovely. The way they have helped him settle and how happy and comfortable he is, is very reassuring. Moving nursery’s for us was very difficult but I know I made the best decision. Thank you so much and anyone looking to enroll I would highly recommend.

We've been with Kindred Bromley North (previously called Les Enfants) since our little one was just 10 months old (now 3 years old), and we're so happy with the care they provide. It's been great watching him thrive here. He's gained so much confidence, and he absolutely loves the friends he's made. The staff are brilliant at encouraging independence, always taking the time to help him with practical things, like learning to get his jacket on—which is a huge help for us at home, too! The updates are fantastic. We get detailed weekly emails, including photos, so we still get a lovely glimpse into what they get up to every day. Thank you!

After viewing a few nurseries in the area, the only one that put my mind at ease during the tour was Kindred. It's not the easiest decision to put your trust in other people to look after your little one, but the staff at Kindred put all my doubts at ease and proved every single childcare doubter wrong. I wish I could show every person that discourages nurseries how great an experience it was for all of us as a family. All the way through to their very last day in Preschool - we have always been reassured and our minds were at ease knowing that they're in the best hands away from us.

Our little one has attended Kindred now for 7 months and our family is so pleased with his experience. He was difficult to settle, but his carers were patient and open with us when he needed more support, until one day he ran in and never looked back! His transition into the 3 year old classroom has been seamless, and his aptitude for learning, exploring, and connecting with the other children is ever expanding. On non-nursery days he always asks to go. The passion and pride you see in the staff and their work is inspiring. They are attentive to the individual needs of the children while maintaining a developmentally appropriate and supportive environment for the class as a whole. Their emphasis on outdoor learning is a huge benefit and the garden is a massive, thoughtfully curated space which promotes gross motor play, creative exploration, and safe risk-taking. We are so happy with our choice to attend Kindred. If you’re considering this nursery, do it.
