Kindred Wanstead
Good★ 4.4 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 August 2022. Open since 2009, with 80 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 Redbridge
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Redbridge 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
Children at this setting have warm and secure relationships with staff. Children and families receive a welcoming greeting by friendly staff at the entrance door. Staff demonstrate a genuine interest in children and their families. This helps children to feel a sense of belonging and supports their personal development.
The managers and staff have ambitious plans, structures and routines in place to support children's learning. The special educational needs coordinator works effectively in partnership with outside agencies and parents to ensure that all children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive good support. In addition, the key-person system supports children's continuity of care. This has a positive impact on the quality of education that all children receive.
Older children confidently speak to the inspector, explaining 'we like to play with our friends, playing racing cars'. Staff kindly help children to understand how and why it is good to share toys with their friends. This approach has a positive impact on how children respect and treat one another. Children share resources and take turns in their play. They behave well and staff set clear expectations.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- allow children more time to reflect and respond so that they build on their thinking and problem-solving skills n build staff's understanding of the importance of using children's home languages and extend their confidence in explaining this to parents.

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.
