Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy started at Kiddi Caru when he was 12 months old, and when he was two and a half, his sister joined the nursery too (when she was 12 months old).
My children have flourished at the nursery and their development has astonished me and made me feel so proud of them.
The nursery has provided
a relaxed, supportive environment, which has encouraged and enabled my two children to develop into intelligent, outgoing, confident little people.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son enjoys coming to nursery. He took quite a while to settle due to being 12 months old and because he only attends 1 day a week but the staff were very understanding and let us have extra settling in sessions at no cost. He gets to be involved in lots of different activities and likes telling us
about songs he has learnt.
I would like more of his artwork to be sent home for us to see.

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.
