Surrounded by peaceful green fields, our setting offers two large outdoor areas; one even has views of the neighbouring cows, a daily delight for our children!
Our gardens are designed for adventure and creativity with climbing frames, a sheltered canopy for calm moments, and plenty of open-ended resources to spark imaginative play.
We understand how important flexibility is for busy families, which is why we're open from 7am to 6pm, ideal for parents commuting by train or working at the local hospital.

A little about me...
I've been told my laugh is infectious, and I love being outdoors, never afraid to get a little mucky and fully embrace every adventure.
What is one of the most important things you should know about us? That’s easy: our fabulous teams! Pure and simple.
Dedicated to being the best that a family could ask for, our team are constantly developing themselves through our training program run by childcare and EYFS experts.
It is not just our little ones who are the passionate lifelong learners here at Kindred! It’s all a testament to their love of what they do, and what makes Kindred the incredible, loving place that it is.
Our doors open from 07:00, where you and your little one will be greeted by a member of our friendly team who will strive to ensure that the transition from home to nursery is a smooth and happy one. Wave ‘see you soon!’ to your child in the knowledge that they will be safe, well cared for and having endless amounts of fun as they settle in for the day ahead.
Our children start their day off correctly with a healthy range of options to choose from, such as cereals, fruit and toast for breakfast from 07:00. For weaning babies at all mealtimes, a specially curated weaning menu is prepared by our trained chef and can be mashed, chopped or pureed depending on your child's individual needs.
Fuelled with a yummy breakfast, children enjoy a range of enrichment activities, adult-led learning linked to focus topics and child-led play experiences. From loose parts exploration and sensory activities to creative arts, imaginative role play and cosy reading corners, there is truly something for every child to enjoy. Outdoor play also forms an important part of the morning, allowing children to build confidence, develop physical skills and explore through active play. A healthy snack is available in the mid-morning to keep everyone energised.
From 12:00, we enjoy lunch, freshly prepared by our on-site chef. Mealtimes provide a wonderful opportunity to socialise with friends, develop independence and explore a variety of flavours and textures. Our seasonal menus offer plenty of choice and are carefully adapted to accommodate individual dietary requirements and preferences.
Following lunch, our younger children can enjoy a well-earned nap or quiet time. For our little sleepers, we create a calm and comforting atmosphere using soft lighting, soothing music and cosy bedding to support rest and relaxation. Children who are not sleeping can enjoy quiet indoor activities, stories and gentle play, helping to create a peaceful transition into the afternoon.
Children continue their learning journey through a balance of indoor and outdoor experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity and independence. Whether exploring open-ended resources, engaging in imaginative play or enjoying active time outdoors, every afternoon offers opportunities for discovery and development.
To keep little ones fuelled and ready for all the awe and wonder their days hold, we offer a healthy mid-afternoon snack, including fresh fruit and vegetables alongside other nutritious options. From 15:30, our children enjoy a delicious evening meal before settling into a relaxed period of child-led play, giving them time to unwind and enjoy activities of their own choosing.
As the day draws to a close, children enjoy relaxed play with their friends before being collected throughout the evening. Families are kept up to date through Satchel during the day, and at collection time your child's key person will share highlights of their learning, achievements and wellbeing, along with any important information. Nursery closes at 18:00, when we wave our final goodbyes and wish everyone a safe journey home.
This is just an example day that the nursery follows, each day is subject to variation depending on activities and the needs of the children.
Our nursery provides a secure and convenient experience for parents with a private car park and clearly designated drop-off and collection points. These dedicated areas are located just outside the main entrance, ensuring a smooth and safe transition for your child to and from our care.
Our nursery's ethos is centred on creating a genuine home from home environment. We pride ourselves on providing a nurturing and personal touch that ensure every one of our children feels safe.
Looking to the future, we are transitioning to become a more outdoor-led nursery. We are placing a big emphasis on outdoor play, as we believe that connecting with nature is essential for a child's development, curiosity, and well-being. This shift will allow us to offer even more opportunities for exploration and active learning in the great outdoors.
We work hard to build strong relationships with local schools to ensure a confident transition for your child. During the transition period we invite teachers from our local schools into the nursery to meet the children in a comfortable environment.
Our keyworkers meet with school staff to share important information about each child's development, personality, and progress ensuring a seamless continuation of their learning journey. We also coordinate closely with the Special Educational Needs (SEN) teams from local schools to ensure a smooth transition for children with additional needs.
Our settling-in process is designed to be a smooth transition consisting of three one-hour sessions.
During the first session you'll join your child in the nursery to meet their keyworker and spend time together. This is a great opportunity to fill out the 'All About Me' book, which helps us learn about your child's personality, routines, and preferences.
The following sessions are for your child to gradually get used to the nursery environment. We'll arrange one session for an hour in the morning and the other for an hour in the afternoon, where you can drop your child off. This gentle separation allows your child to build confidence in the nursery environment.
Yes, we are directly connected to The Family Hub, located at the back of our building. This partnership allows us to offer an exclusive 5% discount to parents who are part of the hub.

“The staff and Kindred Huntingdon are amazing, they have been welcoming from the start and everyone is always so friendly and willing to give their time if you need anything. They have given advice and suggestions with our food challenges, and have been patient and understanding when needed as well. We could not recommend the nursery enough. Our daughter loves going there, and speaks frequently about all her friends, both staff and peers.”
“Drop offs are seamless, both boys have dietary requirements that the nursery adhere to without question. The staff truly love my boys as if they are their own. I love the management staff - you can go to them with any issues and they are resolved quickly and smoothly. My eldest is in the pre-school room which is fantastic. They are doing an excellent job preparing them for school. Outside space is fantastic and the classrooms are well set up.”
“Every member of staff is incredibly kind, caring, patient, and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing and development. It's clear they build strong relationships with both the children and their families. I can't recommend this nursery highly enough. It's a wonderful, nurturing environment, and we're excited to watch our son continue to grow, learn, and flourish”
