The staff members feel like family to us. They have been so supportive of our daughter's SEN and of our journey as a family. They have gone above and beyond to care for our child and reassure us of their support. We are so grateful to God for their provision. Thank you to all staff for everything you

My daughter has been attending the nursery for nearly two years now. She absolutely loves it and is very happy to go everyday. The nursery has a lovely, warm and inviting culture, all the staff are incredibly caring and loving towards her and have a great deal of patience when providing feedback and
respond well to requests. My daughter has grown and developed extremely well since coming to this nursery. I would highly recommend Kiddi Caru Caldecotte Nursery to other parents.

Review from R H (Mother of Child) published on 31 May 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very happy with this nursery so far, settled my child in well and have been very accommodating. My child was a little upset for the first few weeks on drop offs but they were very helpful and kind and did everything they could for a smooth transition. Pleased with the food menus, and frequent nappy
changes. The facilities there are great, and our child really enjoys her time. Would love to see more day to day updates on the app as its always nice to see! However, we have a daily book that's written in of how her day went, which is nice to read. Would love to be able to go inside and drop her off in the near future, just to see where she plays and who she plays with, and her favourite areas etc. But I guess with covid that had to stop temporarily. Thanks.

My little boy has been at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte for just over a year and absolutely loves it. It’s so comforting to know he’s so happy throughout the day and made going back to work so much easier for me. The staff are friendly, and welcoming and are always going above and beyond their roles
for their children and parents.

We are very happy with the nursery. Our eldest son was there from 1 - 3 and a half and he really thrived there. Our youngest has now settled really quickly as well. The staff are polite and helpful, always taking time to answer any questions or queries. They clearly care about the children and their
well being. Would recommend the nursery.

We have always had a pleasant experience with Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte. The staff are brilliant, they go out of their way to know the children and build that rapport with them. The rooms are clean and tidy with plenty of activities, well-planned menus etc. We know that our child is happy in
the setting and receives the best care. The resources they have are excellent, lots of space for the children to explore and play outside, regular updates are received showing progress and evaluation of milestones being met.

I absolutely love this nursery! Friendly, helpful staff, great facilities and the telling sign is my little one is always so happy to go. They have a wide range of activities, toys and games and the staff really gets involved, which adds enthusiasm for the kids. I really love the updates and photos
that get uploaded onto the Tapestry feature. It’s a wonderful addition and gives you a little insight into their activities whilst at nursery. The confidence in my child since attending here has been very noticeable, both verbally and socially and he’s made some lovely friends. I’ve also been really impressed with the food menu and the great variation of nutritious options, which are made on-site. I couldn’t be happier that we chose this nursery, I highly recommend.

An amazing nursery. Wish my daughter had joined sooner. As a parent, I have loved taking her and picking her up and hearing about her day. My daughter has enjoyed making new friends, and the staff have been amazing to help her settle in. Keep doing what you are doing.

My little boy loves coming to nursery each morning and gets excited when he is dropped off in the room.
I feel happy when my little boy is at nursery as I feel all of his needs are being met while he is there.
I love seeing all the wonderful observations they do.

I feel the staff successfully provide a high level of care to my child, that is specifically tailored to his needs. My child’s development has come on leaps and bounds since he started attending this setting and the nursery is brilliant at keeping me up to date about my child’s progress. I have no doubt
that with their support, he will continue to hit his developmental milestones.

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte is a wonderful nursery. Both my children have attended and they have been fantastic. All the staff know the children’s names and even though my oldest is now in school, they always say hi and make a fuss of him. The nursery staff really do create amazing bonds with
the children. They have gone above and beyond to help them, both have been under Speech and Language therapy and their key workers have spent time one on one to help. I will be sad to see my youngest leave.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.781)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.781) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.994 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte is calculated as follows: ( (166 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.994
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.787 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 89 number of registered child places is 17.8. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.8 = 0.787
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
