Kindred Beeston
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Nottingham for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in February 2024. Open since 1996, with 40 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Nottinghamshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Nottinghamshire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
When children arrive at the nursery, they eagerly press the buzzer and await to be welcomed by staff. Staff show they care about each child individually. They take the time to stand and chat with parents at drop-off. This supports children to separate from their carer and confidently say goodbye each day. Staff encourage children to choose activities to explore and engage with from the environments they have planned.
Staff support children to behave well. They use praise to let children know what they expect of them. Children know to listen to staff's instructions. For example, what to do at tidy-up time. Staff support children to be kind and respectful. They ask who can help and how they can help each other. Staff consistently focus on children's learning skills, such as taking turns, sharing toys and being kind to their friends. Children demonstrate they understand boundaries and remind their friends of the nursery rules.
Staff encourage children to build self-confidence and show pride in their own achievements. Younger children enjoy singing familiar songs with the staff. As they finish each song, staff encourage children to clap and celebrate. Staff hang toddlers' names on their proud cloud to show their achievements that day. Staff choose a child to become the 'Star of the week' in the pre-school room. As staff present children with their certificates, children smile with pride. This helps children to recognise what they have done well.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support children to understand how to keep themselves safe online n strengthen staff skills when interacting with children to help them help children build on what they already know and can do.

Still missing for Kindred Beeston
- What it costs
- Funded hours
- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
