Review from K T (Mother of Child) published on 2 October 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dropping my little 6-month-old baby off at the nursery for the first time and heading back to work was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, I wasn't sure I would ever make it! From the very beginning, our experience with the nursery and its staff made us feel at ease and comfortable and now
over two years later, we think of it as a second home.


Our son has developed positive, caring relationships with the staff. We are very thankful to Kiddi Caru and its staff for giving us a great place for our son to be nurtured, educated and loved while we are at work.

Review from SR (Mother of Child) published on 21 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am really pleased with the nursery. The plus for me is that it opens at 7:30am and closes at 6:30pm. No other nurseries I looked at had these times and it is perfect for my work pattern. I like that there is a chef that prepares all the meals and they can easily accommodate my baby's milk and soya
intolerance with alternatives. The security is good - they ask for passwords and pictures of my contacts. Most nurseries do not do that.

Can't speak highly enough of the people at this nursery. It's universal too - obviously a positive culture is established and good example set by the leadership. Our son has some special needs and the staff care so obviously about his progress and well-being. They welcomed external support and embraced
the opportunity to extend their knowledge as a result, we feel safe and confident, and supported. We always speak highly of the team at Kiddi Caru.

Review from Agnieszk L (Mother of Child) published on 9 August 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Kiddi Caru Nursery at Grange Park, Northampton since May 2015 when he was 15 months old. The nursery staff was and still is the best that I could imagine and wish for my child. He's there full time during the week and the care and attention he is given is extraordinary. Their
development plan is tailored for every child and my son has been nothing but striving in his steps as a toddler and now as a 2.5 year old. I know that a lot of this is due to the expertise in the field that the nursery staff have got behind their belt. A lot needs to be said about the facilities - rooms are bright and colorful, spacious and light. The garden is a great and safe place for any child to play. My child cannot wait to go there every morning to meet with his friends and play.

Review from Sarah C (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have two children who have been cared for by Kiddi Caru. We have always been extremely pleased with the care the children receive and how the nursery have encouraged their development. Our eldest has a diagnosis of autism which we received while he was at the nursery. The nursery have gone above
and beyond to support us all during this difficult time. Our son has flourished with the love and individual support he has received and he has undoubtedly benefited greatly from being at Kiddi Caru. We couldn't have asked for more. It's been the perfect setting for our children and we will be very sad to say goodbye!

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.
