Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall, this nursery is great. The hours are very suitable and the nursery is very flexible with how we use them. The facilities are great, however, I do wish there were more resources for the children to learn with.
I feel they lack slightly in encouraging a child to use their drawing skills to
learn to write, and some staff use favouritism over children, which is quite rude and unfair.
The outdoor space is amazing for the children, but again, I wish there was more climbing facilities for the children to explore with.

I cannot give enough credit to the staff here, my daughter absolutely loves going to the nursery, and all the staff are warm and friendly. I love that we always get a debrief of the day when picking her up; she has come on so fast with her speech - thank you all so much. I also love that she gets time
outside, as she is definitely an outdoor child, even when it’s cold or wet.
Reply from Jessica Lawrence, Marketing Executive at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery DaventryHello, we are so pleased to hear that your little one is thriving at our nursery and your family have had a great experience with us.

Always there to help out, our children always come out happy and excited to speak about their day! Activities are brilliant, always so attentive in the morning and pick up they’ll tell you about their day, even if there is a lot going on. The staff won’t just hurry you along always feel like we are
treated as equals and like nothing is ever too much even on bad days. Our youngest has a lot of allergies and he is treated so well and so much care goes into the planning of the menus.

Review from A C (Mother of Child) published on 23 December 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kiddi Caru has been a choice I have never doubted.
When our baby is there, we feel safe, we know he's well looked after, he loves all the educators and only after one and a half months in, he completely stopped crying when being dropped off, as he is just happy to be there.
This is more than we could've
asked for.
It's an absolutely amazing nursery, in fact, we have nearly completely dropped any other kind of childcare in the daytime and from January he will be going in practically full-time, as nothing makes us feel comfortable as Kiddi Caru does.
They provide you with updates, photos and reviews of how your child is doing, on top of providing the kids with very high-quality childcare and amazing food (we always joke our baby eats better than we do!).
I could not recommend Kiddi Caru enough and if you're thinking of enrolling your child, trust me, you won't regret it!
Reply from Charlotte Whyatt, Marketing and Communications Executive at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery DaventryHi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's so lovely to hear that you and your family have had such a fantastic experience with us. We are proud to have such warm, knowledgeable and passionate nursery teams who provide such exceptional care.

My son has recently graduated from the Daventry nursery and we have been so pleased with our experience over the last 3 years.


The nursery have coped well with changes with management and with covid. My son thrived in the environment and has been prepped amazingly for school.


The food was always

good and my son would compliment the food on a weekly basis. We loved this nursery so much that we have enrolled our other son without hesitation.


The nursery uses a parent app which works brilliantly to inform you of what's been going on during the day. It's lovely seeing pictures throughout the day.

The staff are brilliant, they are like a second family to our three children, have taught them so much and they always come home excited to tell us which staff they have played with that day and what happened. My daughter will be sad to leave in September, but thanks to nursery, also excited about school!
They always take an interest in the children and what they have been doing outside of nursery and take the time to talk to us if we have any concerns with anything. I can’t thank them enough for all their help and support.

My little boy loves going to nursery, I am always pleased with the daily updates online. All staff in curious caterpillars are welcoming and friendly. I have always got a lovely vibe from one member of staff. When she does the drop-off or pick-up, my little boy often leaves and says her name.

My son loves nursery. I have found the staff team kind and supportive of my child’s individual needs. They engage the children in fun activities that support development. They have a lovely outside space which is used daily. The management is very good. They have managed the pandemic very well and supported
the needs of working parents too.

My daughter has attended this nursery for a few weeks now and absolutely loves it. She settled in straight away and is always bursting to tell me what she has been up to when I pick her up. All the staff are very friendly and show a lot of love and care to my daughter. They give me a very detailed report
of how her day has been and are easy to talk to about any problems or concerns.

From day one, Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Daventry have been nothing but supportive for my daughter. To begin with she struggled with separation and was distressed at leaving me, however the staff were always amazingly kind and encouraging. Her key worker in particular has worked so hard with her and she
will now skip in happily My daughter loves her key worker and quickly became attached to her and speaks very fondly of her at home too. She really enjoys the vast outdoor space and the outdoor equipment. The staff have made a real effort to play to her strengths and encourage her creativity. I know when I am leaving her for the day she will have a fantastic time. You know you are in good hands at Kiddi Caru Daventry.

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Daventry have gone above and beyond for our son Jacob. He’s greeted every morning by a friendly face and despite being in a lockdown, they take the time to tell us exactly what he’s been doing, what he’s eaten and how he’s been. Despite lockdown, they’ve carried on trying to keep
things as normal as possible for the little ones and they’ve achieved just that. Thank you to all the team for letting our little boy grow and get ready for his first days at school. We cannot thank you enough.

From the moment I stepped into this nursery when we first looked round I knew that this was where my daughter was going to go. All the staff are lovely, bubbly and clearly love what they do. Instantly both myself and my daughter were comfortable and she happily mingled with other children, while staff
explained to me how things worked and other information I needed to know. On her first day, of course I was a little nervous, but was immediately put at ease by the incredible staff. It has been a tough year with rules and restrictions being changed and updated and this has been carried out seamlessly by the nursery, never once affecting the children. She is always so excited on nursery mornings and I feel this is a true reflection on how she is cared for and encouraged whilst at nursery. I have and will continue to recommend this nursery to others. Thanks to all for all your hard work!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.630)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.630) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Daventry 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 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 4.805 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Daventry is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.805
  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 4.825 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Daventry is based on 13 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 = 3.825
    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 61 number of registered child places is 12.2, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
