Our daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time at Kindred. The team are absolutely wonderful and always made her feel happy to go in and had great communication on her day and mealtimes upon handing back. The manager is lovely and very helpful with any queries. I would highly recommend this setting for your little ones. Amazing, large outside space and lots of exciting activities always going on. Safe and secure, I always felt happy to leave my daughter with this outstanding, caring, friendly team. Thank you Kindred ♥️ Charlotte & Scott

I couldn’t recommend this nursery more highly. Our eldest child has just finished to go to school having been there since 10 months old and our youngest child is currently there too. Kelly the manager is excellent, kind, caring and has been flexible and practical over the years. All of the staff are fantastic and show genuine care for the children as well as lots of energy and creativity. The facilities are very good with ample outdoor space which is well utilised. The nursery overall feels it is big enough to give the children a varied experience and social opportunity but still retains a personal family feel. Also to add one of our children has had a food intolerance during their time at nursery which was managed and catered for exactly as we’d have hoped. Thank you all

Both of our children have attended Kindred West Bridgford and I cannot praise the nursery enough. From day one they have shown so much love, care and genuine interest in the growth and development of the children. Kelly and the team are simply the best! I cannot recommend them more highly… we will miss them all.

Both of my girls went to nursery here, really lovely place, the staff have all been excellent throughout. The manager is brilliant, always been there to help us. I was surprised at how much my girls developed during their days at nursery, they took leaps forward under the care of the staff there. Couldn’t be happier, a big thank you to all the staff.
