Our two boys have had nothing but excellent care at Kiddi Caru in Grange Park.
A few members of staff deserve a mention - 4 in particular.
Our two boys are always excited to see these members of staff and often talk about them when at home, which shows they have a nice connection with them.

What an amazing setting for my daughter. She absolutely loves it and can’t wait to go. The staff are all friendly, caring and will take the time to not only care for my child but also to speak to me. The staff from the whole nursery knows my daughter by her name. They spend a lot of time outdoors which
is great and the activities they do inside are fun and helps them learn through play. Cannot fault it here!

My son has been at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery for almost a year, and he has truly blossomed during his time at this nursery! Everything from his social skills to his vocabulary has come on faster than I ever imagined. The staff are so welcoming to both parents and children, and it is easy to address any
queries or questions about my son's day-to-day learning. I can't praise all this staff enough for all their work with my son! Not a day has gone by that he hasn't wanted to go to nursery, and we look forward to seeing how he grows in the next year!

Kiddi Caru, Grange Park is a lovely nursery and has been amazing for our son who has been attending for nearly a year now.
He absolutely loves going to the nursery and we can both see how quickly he is picking up stuff thanks mostly to the hard work and dedication of the amazing nursery staff.
Everyone
is very welcoming and provides lots of love and care to all the children. The nursery is super inviting with plenty to keep the kids entertained. The staff are very informative when we pick him up, giving us a good breakdown of his day and the things he has been up to.
Would highly recommend this nursery!

Since moving my daughter to Kiddi Caru Day Nursery in January, I have been very pleased with the care and stimulation she has been given. The teachers provide me feedback every day about what she did and what she ate. I have a happy 3 year old who loves going to nursery. My only comment would be that
I would like to get more photos every week of what they have been up to.

We are very grateful for such an amazing team that took good care of the growth and development of both of our daughters during the last 4 years at Kiddi Caru Grange Park, Northampton. Although in school now, they still talk about so many pleasant memories they made in the nursery, learned to share
their feelings, being empathetic with other's emotions, building strong friendships, cooking and enjoying fresh yummy food, writing and painting, playing in turns, sharing, having fun with lots of outdoor play and so many other activities! There was so much trust and love our kids were growing in and for this we say Many Thanks.

This nursery is amazing. The management team and all the staff are happy and welcoming. The nursery environment always looks amazing every time I come. My godson is so happy when I come to collect him and he tells me about all the amazing activities he has done throughout the day. I love seeing the

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.716)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.716) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Grange Park 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 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 4.784 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Grange Park is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.784
  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 4.932 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Grange Park is based on 22 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 118 number of registered child places is 23.6. 22 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.6 = 0.932
  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.
