Review from Alex O (Mother of Child) published on 9 November 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Great place so happy with all so far. My son started attending nursery last year in July and I was so scared and felt terrible to leave him with strangers. All that fear is gone now, my son loves his teachers and the nursery. He is learning so much and so fast! Amazing people, great place for any child.

Review from Julie N (Mother of Child) published on 12 October 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a great nursery. We sent our daughter here in 2011 and had no hesitation in sending our son last year. The staff are friendly and the surroundings are clean with stimulating toys and experiences for little ones. They have a secure outdoor play area with bikes etc and sometimes the children go
on an outing to the garden centre next door. It's open 7.30 - 6pm all year round and it's not too big like some nurseries. It has a homely feel. Staff retention is very good too, which says a lot.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.966) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Leighton Buzzard 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.966 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Leighton Buzzard is calculated as follows: ( (312 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 323 Ratings = 4.966
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Leighton Buzzard is based on 27 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 95 number of registered child places is 19, which has been reached with 27 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
