About this day nursery

Kindred Durrington, registered in 2013, provides childcare for children aged 1 to 4 years old, operating year-round from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays. The nursery is located on School Road in Durrington, Salisbury, SP4 8HJ.

The setting has a strong understanding of its community, particularly the needs of military families, with leaders making thoughtful decisions to provide flexible and responsive care, including stay-and-play sessions and adapting attendance patterns during parental deployment. Children benefit from a warm and nurturing environment where staff prioritise their welfare and well-being, helping them to form secure attachments and a strong sense of belonging, especially during periods of change.

The curriculum, based on the EYFS, is well-sequenced, with a focus on communication and language development, as well as physical development. Children enjoy a range of outdoor activities that promote healthy lifestyles, and staff adapt their teaching to support children facing additional barriers to ensure full participation.

The nursery effectively supports children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), working closely with external agencies and utilising additional funding to maximise their learning impact.

What it's like

Children arrive with confidence and settle quickly into this warm, nurturing environment. They form trusting relationships with staff and play happily alongside their peers.

Children benefit from staff who understand the unique needs of the community they serve. The setting's thoughtful approach ensures that military families feel well supported and that their unique challenges are accommodated.

Fantastic nursery. My 11 month old daughter settled in well thanks to the staff being so kind,patient and loving. The facilities are great, with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for the children to explore. The nursery offers various enrichment activities like the baby sensory class, which my daughter loves. Everything there is just wonderful,we are very happy.

Kindred Durrington is my child’s home away from home. Every morning we get ready and they excitedly wave goodbye to go to the baby room at nursery. They have a close bond with their care providers giving me peace of mind that they are cared for whilst I’m at work. My child is always encouraged to develop their skills at Kindred Durrington with clear communication between myself and their care provider to ensure we reach their potential. Lastly, my child loves the meals Kindred offer to the extent that they eat better in Kindred Durrington no matter how hard I try to maintain the same standard. Going to collect my child to find them sat around a table enjoying a meal with their friends warms my heart. Thank you Kindred Durrington for giving my child the best start in the wider world.
