I cannot rate this nursery highly enough!
All of the staff are so friendly and helpful, they completely put me at ease about sending my son to nursey during a pandemic!
My son absolutely loves going and enjoys the number of activates which they have available each day. He has been attending since
August and we have not had one day where he has not wanted to attend.
Well done Kiddi Caru, your all superstars!

Cannot recommend this nursery and the staff enough. They are all very personable and extremely professional but lovely and friendly at the same time. Very happy with my child’s progress since starting at the nursery a year and a half ago.

My little girl absolutely loves going. She has learnt so much! We really struggled to encourage her to say please and thank you but this is now a habit. She does various activities and is always happy to go into nursery. The staff are always helpful and bend over backwards to help wherever possible.
They really care about the children. Best decision to choose Kiddi Caru.

I love Kiddi Caru Day Nursery in Harlow and since my son started in August 2019, I was nervous as he had only been with my mum since. My worries were soon cleared up, as on my son's first day he came home happy. His speech is amazing, when I first put him in the nursery he wasn’t able to speak a word
in English and soon overcame this and I could honestly say this is due to the nursery. All the activities he does are well planned to help with development. The staff are extremely friendly and amazing. My son's confidence has increased with adults and other children and he has made friends and is always talking about nursery and how much he loves his teachers. It's also lovely to get details of what my son has done on a daily basis, you can also tell child safety is important and makes you feel safe knowing your child is in safe hands and everyone is so welcoming. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parents and wanted to say a big thank you to the nursery manager and team.

Absolutely love all the staff, they’re so friendly and put you at ease with any queries or concerns you might have. My, now 10 year old, also came here and 8 years later we’re back with number two baby and glad to say nothing has changed, best nursery ever, thank you!

Lovely staff and very accommodating. My daughter, after initially being very upset at being somewhere new, now absolutely loves it there. My daughter now runs in there to the staff without a second glance and this will stand her in good stead for further nursery and school.

We couldn’t be more thrilled with the care our daughter receives at this nursery! The staff go above and beyond to care for her every need paying the utmost attention to developing her social, emotional and physical development. I find all the members of staff an absolute pleasure to deal with and I
am looking forward to our second child also joining the nursery in the not too distant future!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of our children have been attending Kiddi Caru, Harlow, for a year now. They are both in different rooms but we are equally delighted with the care they have received from the staff. They are friendly and welcoming with clear communication between childcare provider and parent. Their relaxed and
nurturing approach makes it easy for us to leave them there – we know they will be safe and cared for exceptionally well. Their care is child-centred and fosters a love of learning. They are so excited to be dropped at nursery. The interactions, by all staff, with our children make it very clear how well they have got to know both of our boys individually. We are incredibly pleased with the level of care the nursery provides and we are certain that such a positive environment is helping them develop into confident children. The variety of experiences they get are helping them develop every day.

Brilliant staff, always happy and always keeping us informed of what is going on. The way they’ve dealt with the logistical issues of keeping the nursery safe and open has been amazing. Our children look forward to going to nursery and always come back chatting about their day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been going to Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Harlow in Church Langley since he was 18 months old. From his first baby room right up to his pre-school, he has loved every minute of it. The smile on his face every time I pick him up speaks volumes. Each member of staff that we have interacted with
feels like they are now part of our family. My son is particularly close to all his key workers and his new key worker starting was a breath of fresh air.
The lunch and dinners provided are extremely nutritious and vary from fish pie to couscous - all which my son claims he doesn't like when I try and make the same yet eats two lots every day at nursery. The nursery even puts some of the recipes on their websites!
During these tough times, the nursery has exceeded my expectations on handling the situation and the safety and wellbeing of all the children and staff. I am so happy that they are still able to remain open and give our children some stability during these uncertain times.
Would 100% recommend!

The Manager and her team are absolutely amazing and have been outstanding during the last year. They have not only provided us parents such strength and support but given our children such love and commitment. I see the whole team at Kiddi Caru more like family. Every single one of them have played
a huge role at caring for my daughter, teaching her and watching her grow. I am looking forward to spending more years with them once my son starts attending soon.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Even prior to my husband and I signing our eldest daughter up to Kiddi Caru Harlow I was impressed with their service as they were the only nursery out of four to follow up our initial visit. While the Ofsted recognition is excellent it was the people who made the decision very easy for us and who have
continued to fill us with confidence over the last two years. The management team are excellent and their communication is wonderful you always know whats going on and if there are any issues then they are always communicated in a transparent and professional manner. It appears that staff retention is very low at the nursery so there is always a familiar face for the kids and the parents and in every room that my eldest daughter has been placed the staff have always surpassed themselves and really do care about your child's development and happiness. I now have two daughters attending and I am extremely pleased with the care and attention they receive.

Kiddi Caru Harlow is a brilliant nursery. My eldest has been attending for almost 3 years and my youngest for a year now. The staff are absolutely fantastic. You can tell they genuinely care for the children and forge strong relationships with them. Everyone I’ve ever come in to contact with has been
friendly, professional and caring. My boys thrive there and look forward to attending. They also provide individual care and have always made the best decisions based on my children’s needs. The management are also fantastic. Caring, knowledgeable and ready to help. I would highly recommend Kiddi Caru Harlow.

My daughter was starved of oxygen at birth and we did not know what she would be able to do in the first couple of years of her life. Kiddi Caru Harlow has not only helped my daughter reach her full potential (and more) they have also guided and supported us, parents. The care and support go way beyond
"a job" the staff truly care and have the most amazing bond with my daughter. They have met our needs nothing is ever too much for them to do and the managements door is always open for any advice. By far the most outstanding nursery locally for me. I would recommend it to anyone. The only bad thing would be saying goodbye once school starts.

Excellent nursery and staff.
My daughter has been attending for over a year now and her talking and confidence has developed so much. Such a warm and welcoming nursery too and they always have time to talk to the parents if you have any concerns.

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.
