Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our son has been going to Kiddi Caru Nursery since he was 9 months old. We have always been impressed with the staff, the level of professionalism and friendliness. The nursery offers a great curriculum of learning and play. We can see the vast improvement in our son’s development since joining Kiddi
Caru. The nursery rooms are hygienic, safe and modern environments. The food choices are healthy and nutritious covering all of the food groups. The facilities and outdoor area is well maintained. I cannot be more pleased that I chose Kiddi Caru Nursery care for our son.

Lovely staff and fantastic facilities. Our daughter has been honing to the nursery since she was about 9 months old and loves it. She is so happy when she goes and generally (dependent on tiredness, you know how it is) happy when she comes home.


Great place for your child you grow.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Four of my children have attended Kiddi Caru nursery.


We have found they have developed really well in this settling not because of the staff drill things into them but because they are always looking for ways to encourage the children to learn through creative play.


The staff are excellent and

supportive and I would highly recommend Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton for anyone seeking a nursery for their child.

Review from Carolyn S (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are wonderful and I don’t think my children would be where they are now if they didn’t go to Kiddi Caru. The staff have been trained to how to develop children. Both my children were potty trained very quickly and before a lot of their friends who didn’t go to Nursery were. My children are
confident, outgoing, seem to be more developed than their friends who don’t go to Kiddi Caru. Some of it may be down to me but I suspect a lot of it is down to Kiddi Caru. Some of their friends at Kiddi Caru have needed extra attention ie speech therapy - this was picked up by the staff as they know where children should be in term of milestones and they weren’t there so they highlighted it and the necessary steps were taken by the Nursery. When my son recently had an accident that meant he had to go to hospital the Nursery manager came with me which was greatly appreciated.

I am happy with the service provided by Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton and l would recommend every parent who lives near Wootton and Grange Park, who have young children to take their kids to this nursery. My daughter has been going to this nursery for almost and a year now and she can't wait each
morning to go nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Great opening hours and flexible with additional days where they can accommodate them. My son had additional requirements as he was moderately deaf and the team were great at ensuring they made adjustments for him. All the staff are very friendly, know all the children by name, and are willing to talk
about how to best help each individual child. His dietary requirements were frequently changing and they always kept up with our needs to reintroduce foods gradually as he got older. My youngest now goes there too, and I would always recommend them.

The staff are just wonderful! They can not do enough for our child and have a lot of patience.


As new parents, we were apprehensive leaving our child with strangers but they made us feel so comfortable and confident that our child would be looked after.


Our child has grown up to become a loving,

friendly and caring child and most of all given the guidance and care needed to personally develop.


We highly recommend this nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having moved our child from another nursery to Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, we have been overwhelmed by the care, attention and progress our son has received and made. We have nothing but praise for his immediate room staff and key worker. The nursery is run efficiently and staff from all roles
are friendly, professional, warm and caring. Our son's development has come on leaps and bounds. He is happy, settled in very quickly and all needs are met. He enjoys lots of activities and never comes home in clean clothes which is exactly what we expect! He loves going to nursery and the nursery has our full trust. Fabulous team.

Very happy with the way staff settled my grandson when he had never left his parents before. The staff made him feel safe and secure and reassured him at all times. By the time he left he was a very confident little boy who was ready for school. I couldn't praise the pre-school team in canal room more.

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.
