The staff are welcoming and we are confident that our daughter will be looked after, and her learning and development will be challenged and encouraged. Our daughter loves going to nursery to see her friends and carers.

I am very pleased with Kiddi Caru Harlow Nursery - the nursery is run efficiently, the staff are very friendly and always willing to help make life easier. My son is so happy to arrive at nursery, he loves being there and I can tell he is developing a lovely bond with his carer. I receive regular updates
on behaviour, eating habits and activities. I couldn't ask for a nicer environment for my son to be in unless it was at home with me.

My little girl loves going to nursery. She is always so excited to tell me what she's been up to when I pick her up. She has learnt so much since starting nursery and adores all the staff there.

This nursery is one of the best in Harlow (and trust me we did our homework first). The teachers are caring and show a lot of support to the children. The outside play area is the best we saw. The children's security is of the highest priority and is extremely good. Even though this is one of the more
expensive nurseries, it is worth the extra money.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter started at Kiddi Caru Harlow as her first nursery from the age of 1. We really like the nursery and feel she is in a very safe and caring environment. We visited a few different nurseries before selecting Kiddi Caru and as parents both felt this one provided the facilities, cleanliness
and care required. Since her first day at nursery we have never been disappointed with the service. Even if her key worker isn’t there all of the other staff in the room know her and her traits. She has developed well and it is clear that she is learning different skills and progressing well. We would highly recommend the nursery to friends and family. We have a local nursery minutes from our house and chose this one over it as it was by far more superior.

I respect that choosing a nursery is a personal choice however, I have to say we made the right choice 12 years ago when we chose Kiddi Karu Harlow for our daughter and we definitely made the right choice last year with 1-year-old son. Before making a choice, I visited 9 day nurseries in the local area!
They all lacked what Kiddi Karu instinctively had; a homely, imaginative and enthusiastic environment. Each day, I measure my son's level of fun and learning at nursery by how dirty his bath water is! Most of all though I think the communication and respect the Nursery Assistants have for parents is outstanding. The amazing team put in so much effort and time, that always makes me feel so grateful for their kindness and professionalism.

Our experience of Kiddi Caru Day Nursery has been fantastic. Our child is extremely happy at nursery and well looked after. The staff are excellent and we can leave our toddler there in the knowledge that he will be cared for and happy. Although we pay a lot of money for the service in our opinion it
is worth it. Our son is provided with meals cooked on site, opportunities to learn and development mentally and physically, also to have fun!

We were very pleased with Kiddi Caru as childcare for our one-year-old son. He settled very quickly into the baby room with the help of all the lovely staff and the settling in sessions. He loved every day at nursery and getting involved in all the fun activities. The food options were fantastic
and varied which helped wean my son and offer a healthy, varied diet. Excellent nursery!

Our son, who recently turned one, has been at Kiddi Caru since 9 months, 5 days. He loves coming to school each day. The nursery has a wonderful array of activities covering all aspects - sensory room, arts and crafts etc. Our son has blossomed so much since being here and it's noticeable across all
aspects - the way he eats, the way he plays, words etc. He's bonded extremely well with his key carer. We couldn't be happier.

We have been extremely happy with the care and support my child has received. All staff have been excellent in their communication and their kind, caring nature towards our little boy. A special mention to his key worker for her professional and energetic attitude as she has been a wonderful service
of confidence when communicating his needs. Thank you for all your outstanding work.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Pretty good that my child gets a variety of activities, stimulation, exposure and learning at the same time. Blending in and interacting with others, learning to share, alphabet, toilet training has been learnt hand in hand with her experience at home. But at nursery, she experiences more variety. The
experience would hopefully prepare her for school. Excellent garden facilities and sensory cabin. I notice other nurseries don't compare with the facilities with Kiddi Caru garden.

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.
