We found kindred whitton the beginning of the year as our old nursery closed. In a desperate search I am so glad we found this nursery! Such a smooth easy transition, but this was all because of the love, care and enthusiasm from all the staff. Becky was amazing to talk when we first started. we will really miss the nursery and the staff, now my daughter is ready for school. The way that Josiah and the pre school team put so much effort into the children is really sweet. Thank you!

Becky and her team are most wonderful, my daughter loves every minute of it. We have noticed that since our daughter has been attending she has learnt many new skills, expressions and physicality. She's even more vocal and not afraid to express herself. Specifically, as parents we actually learn more about her when she starts interacting with others. It is probably the best decision we made amongst other nurseries in the area. She eats so well and loves all the food at the nursery and we really can't compete with that at home. This is a true little gem of Whitton and sincerely recommend to new parents or any parents who would want their kids to have plenty of fun and shine.
