Review from Gemma C (Mother of Child) published on 27 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff show a genuine interest in my child and his development and make sure to tell me of new things he has achieved either face to face and online via the app. There seem to be new activities regularly, and I like that they encourage sports by bringing in people from outside organisations to do
football and other games. I also liked that they have a library bus, which comes to the site. I think it’s a shame that there isn’t more outdoor space with real grass, trees etc, but that can’t be helped because of the location of the nursery, and I know my child still has lots of time outside. There is plenty of opportunities for parents to be involved in the nursery if they wish through stay and play sessions, meet Santa evenings and family days. Transition for room to room as my child has gotten older; has so far seemed pretty smooth with settling in visits for child and parent!

We are thrilled with all aspects of KiddiCaru Day Nursery. Our daughter has been attending for a little over a year and has developed in every aspect. Most notably her confidence, she was very unsettled at her previous nursery; but since moving here has really come out of her shell. This is down to
the amazing effort every member of staff has made with her, to help her feel settled and secure. She loves attending and comes home full of all the exciting things she has done each day.

All the staff are friendly and welcoming. My little one has an allergy which has been accommodated for by the nursery; which has been so reassuring and helpful.
Any concerns or queries I have had, have been listened to and addressed.
My little one has progressed and developed so much with the help
and encouragement of the staff. He loves coming to nursery and regularly talks about the staff at home.

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery is a lovely setting. My son has been going there for just over year now and his development has been amazing, his speech is absolutely fantastic compared to when he first started. The staff and management at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery go above and beyond to meet my son’s needs daily
needs. In the room my son is in there are fantastic activities for him and the other children to access throughout the day, when my son comes home with a new change of clothes on due to messy play, it means he’s had the best day to me! The garden is well equipped with lots of different bikes, a climbing frame and there’s also a mud kitchen... not forgetting the undercover sand area where children can play outside in all weathers. Overall I would definitely recommend this nursery, it’s like a home from home and all the staff are so caring and friendly.

Our son really enjoys his time at the nursery, the only thing we would like is a bit more of a review of next steps once they have been achieved. Monthly progress on how he is doing towards his latest goals.

Review from James M (Father of Child) published on 25 March 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
We've had a few cases now where I have been forced to "keep the peace" by my wife.


A few times I've felt the need to contact the nursery to complain over staff attitude, my daughter coming home with illnesses and various other concerns.


Given this chance to voice my opinion is a blessing for me.


If

it was solely my choice our daughter wouldn't continue to attend this nursery at all.


Either its reputation is a false illusion or its standards have dropped from our recommendation.


Either way, I hope it improves quickly.

My daughter always receives a warm welcome and is happy to go to nursery. They are always thinking up great learning opportunities for the children and she has a lot of fun. The nursery is clean and has a fantastic garden area. The staff are friendly and clearly care for the children.
The food is nutritious
but not always child-friendly, so it is often reported that my daughter does not eat.

I have 2 children at the nursery. Both are extremely happy, every member of staff is happy, caring and welcoming to the children.
Each day they have different activities they can join in with making each day fun and interesting.
Meals are varied so they have the opportunity to try different foods.
Parking is very convenient making it safe an easy to get in and out.

My daughter has been coming to this nursery since she was 10 months old and she absolutely loves it. She will be leaving to go to school in September and it fills me with sadness that I won’t get to see the team every day, they are amazing. Happy, professional and I have every trust in all of them.
The food menu is fabulous, healthy and varied. The activities they lay on for the children are second to none. I always have done and always will do speak very highly of Kiddi Caru Market Harborough.

My daughter runs into nursery which is such a great sign! She knows all of the names of the carers! We really appreciate all of the notes and the pictures that we are sent to keep us up to speed on all of the amazing things that she is doing at nursery. The team always manage to capture what she says
too. For parents not able to be there during the day this is a lovely way to stay connected, especially the daily updates by form.
We are always greeted with a friendly smile, and you really feel they care.
The events they put on are great!
The variety of tasks and creative play are so inventive and teach the children so much in a fun way.
I would recommend the nursery very highly.

Welcoming, friendly atmosphere - allowing you as a parent to feel supported when you leave your child in the care of the nursery.


Great updates via tapestry to enable you as a parent to keep up to date with your child’s activities throughout the day.


The staff seem to genuinely care for our child

and want to help her develop and feel happy.


Our daughter loves being in the company of the other children and the staff and her being in this environment has enabled me to see how much she is developing and growing with all the things Kiddi Caru offers.


I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.


Thank you-you have made our daughter happy and us as first-time parents!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.544)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.544) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Market Harborough is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 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 4.844 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Market Harborough is calculated as follows: ( (145 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.844
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Market Harborough is based on 14 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. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.7
  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.
