Brilliant staff at the Nursery, my children have been here since babies and are now in Pre-School with them. I would highly recommend Kiddi Caru in Rushden.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was really worried about my 2-year-old starting nursery as she’s never been away from me. After 2 months of going (one morning a week), I can already see a difference in her confidence. She loves the staff and enjoys all the activities, and she’s doing new things every week like helping to get her
shoes and coat on and off.

Review from Charlotte (Mother of Child) published on 23 August 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little boy has been at the nursery since he was about eight and a half months old. We have loved watching his development and the bonds that he has made with the other children and the staff. He is always excited to go to nursery and starts bouncing up and down and waving when he realises where
he is going.
The staff have always been very friendly and happy to chat to us about any issues that may have arisen or to give us advice on something. The nursery room itself has always been lovely and laid out with lots of interesting toys. We have loved that the children are encouraged to go outside as much as possible and that they are also encouraged to get involved in messy play, cooking etc.
It has also been great as a parent to hear what he has been up to each day and to see the photos and developments on the online journal.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both children love coming to nursery, the staff have always given their full support and reassurance to both me and the children with each transition (ie starting nursery and moving to the next room). The children are always talking about their KeyWorkers and other staff who help/have helped. They actually
now look forward to coming to nursery and you can see the developments that they are making each week.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending since May 2018, prior to this, my other daughter attended the nursery in the pre-school room. It has to be said this year I have been very pleased with the room my youngest daughter is in-the staff are professional, kind, caring and always give sufficient information on
what my daughter has been doing during the sessions she attends. The activities that are provided are of a good quality and the resources used are always age appropriate. The staff are well equipped to extend activities where appropriate to develop and strengthen my child’s learning opportunities and experiences. Tapestry is regularly updated with observations to keep me updated with her progress in relation to the EYFS.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.655)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.655) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Rushden is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 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 4.922 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Rushden is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.922
  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 4.733 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Rushden is based on 16 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 + 0.025 = 3.9
    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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.833
  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.
