It is an absolutely super nursery. All the staff care for your children like they are their own. They have done an amazing job of teaching my daughter how to share, to write, to be herself and to accept others even if they are different. The staff always participate in dress-up days and keep the children
engaged with various activities. My daughter is always happy when I pick her up.

Best nursery and staff. They helped us so much with the kids. The staff are well trained and nice that we are so sad to leave due to moving.
Highly recommend this nursery to everyone.
Management helped us so much to move kids to another nursery and all went smoothly, thanks to them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter attended a different nursery to begin with but after her first year, I decided to relocate closer to home which meant she could attend Kiddi Caru Walnut Tree. My daughter has been there since September 2020 and she has loved and adored every single minute. The staff in her classroom are
so lovely and inviting, especially the manager of the nursery. She took me and my daughter around the nursery on our very first visit and I was sold instantly. The manager was very understanding and extremely down-to-earth. Straight away I knew my daughter would thrive at this nursery and she honestly has. I have never regretted sending my daughter here and I am forever grateful for all the staff in their continued support. It will be sad when my daughter has to leave to go to big school but I know she will miss it very much. A truly brilliant nursery!

My son joined the nursery in September 2020 and has absolutely loved every moment of being there. He has come on leaps and bounds while being in the butterfly room and looking forward to the transition to pre-school. Each member of staff we have come into contact with have been amazing, polite and informative.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication over the last few months.

Very friendly and caring staff, great facilities and happy kids and babies. My little one’s been very happily engaged since late summer and genuinely loves it at nursery. The food variety and quality is really good too. Daily feedback on the parent portal, food, sleep, nappies, anything noticed, minor
accidents, observations essential and reassuring. I can’t recommend enough! Thank you!!!!

Review from Robert H (Father of Child) published on 12 February 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We swapped my daughter to the Kiddi Caru Walnut Tree nursery partly due to personal reasons and partly due to her sister starting at the local school and so her sister would be able to make friends that should, in theory, go along to the school with her. Our 2-year-old started back in June 2019 and
she, and us, have enjoyed every single minute of the nursery. She has come along in leaps and bound. Her confidence has multiplied and her speech has exploded extremely rapidly. She loves to talk about her friends and carers when at home and there is so much on offer for the children to get stuck into. Literally every aspect of the EYFS is covered. There is plenty of opportunity to use the garden as well. The staff have been incredibly helpful and friendly since our arrival and my friend's daughter now attends through our recommendation. Once or twice recently our little one has even told us to hurry up so she can get to nursery which really does amplify how much we all enjoy this nursery.

So impressed with this nursery. Our little boy has been attending for about 2 weeks and he is already so different. He has already picked up a few new skills and loves going to nursery and being there. I go to work knowing my little boy is safe and happy and it gives me peace of mind. He even got a
little certificate for his first week which my husband and I thought was adorable! Thank you Kiddi Caru baby room, you’re amazing!

I really appreciate the effort given by staff to our daughter as she learns something new every day. Due to staff confidence and qualification she is learning English quite well even though she had never heard this language before, she learns numbers, letters, shapes and colours very quickly, she comes
home singing new songs and pretending to be calm nursery staff members once telling stories to doggies.

This Nursery has been absolutely fantastic at settling my son in. My son found it hard to settle in the first few weeks due to not being apart from me for too long before. However, the staff at the nursery worked hard to settle him in and have always been so supportive and welcoming. The minute you
walk through the door the staff greet you with the warmest welcome and are always so friendly and approachable. I would highly recommend this nursery to parents looking for an outstanding nursery in the area.

We are very pleased to have chosen this nursery for our boy. It is a fantastic nursery setting with caring and professional staff. Our son has gone from strength to strength and his confidence has come a long way too. As parents to such a lovely and inquisitive boy, we could not have chosen better than
this. He is very happy there and loves his nursery. I have no hesitation to recommend it to anyone, in fact, it is the best nursery he has been to and he had previously attended two others. This one is by far the best and the winner. Thank you.

This nursery has been nothing but accommodating towards our family's needs from settling sessions, helping my child’s weaning journey, ensuring she gets the most from her nursery experience every session and helping to care for my child last minute. The nursery staff are extremely caring and thoughtful
towards my child and her progression and development on a daily basis and would not hesitate to recommend their services.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.468)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.468) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Walnut Tree, Milton Keynes is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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 4.593 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Walnut Tree, Milton Keynes is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.593
  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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Walnut Tree, Milton Keynes 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 69 number of registered child places is 13.8, which has been reached with 15 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.
