Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I really liked the nursery from the moment we looked around. The staff are genuinely friendly and warm. The whole team obviously work very hard to maintain excellent standards in all aspects of the service given.
The food is plentiful and good quality. It changes regularly so they don't get bored.
The displays/play areas are also changed frequently to stimulate the children and there are many activities to hold their interest.
It is clean and has a very great outdoor space to play in. It isn't cheap but I feel that the price is very reasonable for what you receive. I am really happy with their care.

My child has settled in really well and always talking about what she's been doing and has a very strong bond with her key worker. The staff and especially her key worker has helped her and developed her speech and language further as before she started nursery, she had speech and language delay.

My child is very happy to attend nursery and has settled into his room easily due to the loving staff.


My child's needs are met and staff know him really well.


Office staff have accommodated extra sessions when needed and this supports both me and my child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son recently joined the nursery. He is settling in very well and seldom cries when I leave him there. I find members of staff at the nursery to be very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The quality of care is excellent and I know of other parents who also feel the same. So far so good and well done

Fantastic nursery. I have no worries at all with the care given. I am sure my son enjoys his time at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte. The staff are caring, friendly, professional and happy to help with any issues/requests. Variety of activities, the sensory room, walks to the lake and many more activities
to help with learning and development. My little one settled in very quickly and every morning happy to go there and all thanks to the fantastic and friendly environment. Thank you Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte for taking such great care of him!

The hungry Caterpillar focus week was enjoyable for both our son and us. The activities given to do at home meant we could also be part of his learning. He also loved the daily fruit!

The ladies are amazing with the kids, but even better with the parents. It's hard to leave our kids anywhere but the ladies are great with all the kids but excellent at communicating their daily routine and helping with their development. All my kids will be coming to Kiddi Caru.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.679)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.679) 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 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 4.961 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte is calculated as follows: ( (172 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.961
  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 4.718 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte is based on 15 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.875
    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. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.8 = 0.843
  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.
