Over the past two years, we have had a very positive experience, with our daughter being very happy in attendance and have always found the staff to be warm, receptive and helpful. We would comment that the fees are generally quite expensive, but have found these to be of good value overall.

My partner and I could not be happier with our daughter's attendance at the nursery. We feel confident and happy going to work knowing that she is happy - when we tell her we are going to nursery, she gets her coat and shoes to wait by the front door. She loves all the staff, in her room and those who
work in other rooms, she is always smiling at the end of the day. We can't thank them enough for allowing us to return to work at what can be a daunting time for parents with babies, knowing that she is enjoying herself and is safe!

When my daughter started nursery I was worried about how she would cope. But after the first month, I just need to say that I'm well reassured to see that she has been very well looked after. I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all staff, especially Pre-School staff, and
a very special thank you to my daughter's key worker for her kindness and support well done Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Harlow!

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Firstly the nursery staff are very caring, there is a genuine love for the children, however, they are being very let down with bad management. They are therefore unable to provide the children with stimulating activities to develop the children's skills. Staff ratios are at a worrying level, regularly
being just over the safe/legal adult-to-child ratio and using loopholes to account for this lack of planning, using a 'building ratio' instead of physical adults in the relevant rooms. Many parents were being turned away at the door within recent weeks as they decided to 'cap' the entry of more children after 8:40. This has been brought up to management from parents and nursery staff alike. They are relying on bank staff, interns and agency staff due to bad planning and lack of care and ability to retain current, brilliant staff. This has meant children are very unsettled in their rooms as most staff members are on regular rotation, non-permanent staff or strangers/agency workers.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The manager of the nursery was very nice and polite lady. When I went to the nursery to drop off the application form, the receptionist stated that I should look for an alternative nursery as there are no spaces available. However, when I initially came in for a meeting with the manager, she confirmed
that there are spaces which is why she gave me the application form. The receptionist was very rude and unhelpful.

Good nursery, our only experience of one to be fair but no complaints and my child seems to enjoy the experience and develop well there. The parking can sometimes be an issue when picking up as the car park is small, with parents parking on roundabouts and yellow lines, making it less safe but this
is more an observation of the parent's behaviour and not necessarily the fault of the nursery themselves. There is ample parking on side streets that are a seconds walk from the nursery though, so you will never have issues parking when picking up, if you don’t want to endanger other children's safety with reckless parking.

I want to say that Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Harlow has been one of the best choices I've made in choosing a nursery for my baby. My child joined in 2020 when she was 5-months. Her milestones has been everything and more with the help of Kiddi Caru Nursery Harlow. The staff are wise, very friendly, informative

My daughter has been attending this nursery for two years and she absolutely loves it there. My youngest has also just started there and I have to say, I have got so much confidence sending her, knowing how much my eldest has learned and grown from being there. All the staff we have dealt with there
are really professional but also really friendly and welcoming. It really does feel like being part of a community and that the staff really do care. The manager is fantastic and always has time to talk things through and give help and advice where needed. Even though I know she's really busy, she never makes you feel like you are asking silly questions or taking up too much of her time. The nursery really felt like a fantastic fit for us, with brilliant facilities and staff that want to make things fun and engaging for the kids as well as supporting their learning of the more practical things like manners and toilet training.

After a lot of research into nurseries in the local area, I felt Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Harlow was the best nursery for my daughter. I loved how friendly the staff were and the rooms and garden looked amazing for little ones. The staff were brilliant at settling in my daughter, especially as due to
the pandemic she was only used to being with me. Now she walks in smiling, waving and excited for the nursery! The team have been fantastic at communicating with parents and keep us updated on monthly activities, changes due to the pandemic, and the development of my daughter. I really feel my daughter has developed so much from being at this nursery and this is down to the dedicated and brilliant staff at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Harlow. I only wish this had been my nursery when I was young!

The nursery is absolutely fantastic. The rooms and garden are spacious with plenty to keep the children amused, amazed and constantly learning. The sensory room is especially wonderful and a favourite of my son.
He always races off to whichever staff member (who are all so lovely, professional and
helpful) greets him at the doors as he absolutely loves it here. He always comes home with a story to tell in his own language and is very much ready for bed after such an exciting day at nursery!
He always naps well there during the day and the food they offer is varied to allow the kids to try different things. The activities are also varied each day.

All the staff at this nursery have been and are amazing! The way they have dealt with Covid-19 has been exceptional and not once was I concerned for my sons well being whilst he was in their care. My son absolutely loves going there and doesn't stop talking about his friends and the members of staff.
I would recommend anyone who is thinking of taking their child to this nursery to definitely do it as you will not be disappointed.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Kiddi Caru Harlow. The staff are not only friendly, caring and kind, making excellent bonds with the children but are also very keen on child development.

We are so happy with the nursery. From day 1 I have felt that my child is cared for and understood. He is challenged and encouraged. The staff are outstanding and led by an exceptional manager and her deputy. Their procedures during Covid have been excellent, they have always had the children’s safety
and the safety of their families at the forefront. The environment is conducive to open-ended play and the activities are well thought out. Ultimately I trust in the team and I know my child is in safe hands.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.478)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.478) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Harlow 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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 4.628 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Harlow is calculated as follows: ( (159 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.628
  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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Harlow is based on 17 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.85
  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.
