Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter only started in February and since then her words have become more clear and she’s learnt so many more that we didn’t even know she knew! She’s becoming a proper little person and we couldn’t thank anyone but this nursery and the carers in her room. We looked around this nursery once and
we could tell it was the place to enrol her too, she enjoys it so much that when we go to pick her up she doesn’t even realise we’re there because she’s too busy playing or singing along.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
They have a very good service, and our daughter is very happy there, and she has made visible progress with her communication skills. The only point we want to suggest to the management is to analyze the possibility not to charge for the meals when the children are absent, for example travelling on
a short vacation, and the management can be informed, for example, one month in advance. Thank you very much.

Going into the Diamond Room has given my daughter so much confidence learning from older children. She is cared for greatly and there is mutual respect with the key workers.
I do look at other Kiddi Caru’s social media posts, who tend to get involved with much more fun activities so I’d hope for more
from them, especially when she goes up to 3 days a week.

My son attended Kiddi Caru Wellingborough from when he was 9 months old until he joined the school in September. He was very happy there. He has learnt a lot and was always very happy to go to nursery. He (and I) liked all the carers of the different classes and levels. I feel that he is now ready to
go to school and Kiddi Caru played a big role.

My little boy joined Kiddi Caru at nearly 11 months old and stayed until the week before he started school, so for just shy of 4 years. From the moment we viewed Kiddi Caru we knew it was the right nursery for us, it felt like a home. The staff have been amazing all the way through and have made both
him and me feel part of the Kiddi Caru family. Would highly recommend Kiddi Caru to anyone.

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Wellingborough provides a wonderful nursery experience for our son. The staff are friendly, welcoming and professional. Our son goes in happily and comes out equally happy, excited to tell us about what he’s been up to during his session. The team are always responsive to our
needs and queries whatever they may be about. We also appreciated the support and care during the Covid pandemic. All the team have worked above and beyond to make sure that the care and well-being of the children there is the number one priority, as well as supporting the parents during what has been a tough and scary time for everyone.

I was concerned about my child being left in the hands of others. You hear horror stories but overall the nursery has been really good. My little one is generally very happy to go in and enjoys playing with friends. Overall, a solid nursery and one you can feel safe leaving your child.

Review from Georgia N (Mother of Child) published on 26 November 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at Kiddi Caru in Wellingborough, in the baby room in September 2021. With her only being 4 months at the time, I was naturally worried/sad to leave her. However, the staff at the nursery, especially the baby room staff, are exceptional at what they do. She settled in straight away
and always greets the staff with a huge smile when I drop her off which is so lovely to see. She is always happy and smiley when I pick her up too! I feel 100% comfortable leaving her at nursery knowing her time there is so enjoyable for her and the staff care about her just as much as I do. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone.

Currently seeing our second child attend Kiddi Caru Wellingborough, it’s a wonderful ‘family feel’ place to leave your children. The staff are each dedicated and caring for the children that attend. We take great comfort in knowing our children can and have flourished there. Noticeable developments
after most visits. Excellent care of our youngest who has food allergies! Always know she’s in good hands!! Particular thanks to Amethyst and Diamond Rooms! Our son has been left 3months and still talks about the staff most days!

My son started in May 2021 in the baby room, the staff have been amazing. He took to them very much and they helped him so much with his development. It’s come on so much since starting. He is now in the next room and still continuing to do so well. Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. Their care
is brilliant! To see him come home with smiles on his face each day tells me he loves it here.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.433)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.433) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Wellingborough is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 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 4.704 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Wellingborough is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.704
  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 4.729 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Wellingborough is based on 14 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.729
  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.
