On arrival to nursery, the staff are very friendly towards myself and my daughter. They spent time going through things with me and put me at ease from the start. My daughter really enjoys coming to the nursery and talks about the day with her staff.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My little one has attended Kiddi Caru since she was 1 and a half years old. I can truly say it was the best choice I have made for her. She has learnt so much and every day, she is still bringing home something new. Staff are very helpful and friendly.
They can prepare your kids for school. Nice big
garden with lots of toys. If I have another one, I will definitely send him/her to this nursery.

Review from Emily B (Mother of Child) published on 25 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I took my 11month to Kiddi Caru Day Nursery where she started in the "Koala Room", she has now progressed as a Kookaburra. I have always been very pleased with the level of care and think all the girls/nursery nurses do a great job. At the end of the day you get a review, what she has eaten, nap times
and what they have played with that day. My little girl loves it there and gets so much out of the 2 full days in which she goes. She learns so much and I am so pleased with my choice in choosing Kiddi Caru Day Nursery I wouldn't have her anywhere else. They do a top job!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.902)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.902) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Bedford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.902 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Bedford is calculated as follows: ( (439 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 480 Ratings = 4.902
  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 Bedford is based on 40 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 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 40 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.
