The staff are very welcoming and have a fabulous demeanour around the kids. This is my second child to attend and my first child loved it too. My son with multiple food allergies is catered for fantastically and I have absolute trust that they all look after him so well. The organisation of the nursery
including all their paperwork procedures and policies they put in place are second to none. My only gripe is that they don’t do half day sessions anymore!

Kiddi Caru Wellingborough, in my opinion, is the best nursery in town. It's safe, secure, well managed with polite, professional staff. They have a caring attitude to the children of all ages that are in their care. I have no hesitation of recommending them to friends, family or anyone that asks. Well
done to the management for their direction. The staff are a credit to the organisation. Thank you.

The Wellingborough nursery is a credit to all the staff. They show great delight in their work and all the staff including those in charge of the meals, talk to the children and know their names. Everybody smiles and says Good Morning and opens doors for the children and the parents. A happy, pleasant
welcome is ensured and teaches the children good manners. Activities are planned in advance and help stretch the child's imagination. They are encouraged to "do" things, make things and importantly there is lots of reading. All the carers are extremely conscientious even when they have had a trying day and it is clearly vocational work for them and not "just a job". They take pride in the child's development and their part in that. A major part for us is the outside play area and regularly getting outside in the fresh air and playing and exploring. Well done to all concerned and the management team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Kiddi Caru Wellingborough from 9 months old she is now just over 2 years old and I have been lucky to see her flourish in her character and speech due to Kiddi Caru Wellingborough. All of the carers address her with a good morning and a smile, and lots of cuddles which
she loves!
I have been happy with the activities they do in order to help them grow through play and also to just have silly fun! Any concerns I have emailed have been addressed within a few hours and I’ve been put at total ease. It would be very difficult to even contemplate another nursery for her. From her food diary, I would say she eats better than many adults(!) and there is lots of variety for her each week.
The outside area is large and there is an abundance of things to keep them occupied.


It would say it would be great if they could stay open till 6:30 pm. I have rated them satisfactory for value for money as my daughter is FT and £1000 a month is eye watering but that is no one's fault.

My daughter attends four mornings a week and really looks forward to her times there. She has a wonderful relationship with her key worker and addresses the other staff members. She has really grown in confidence since attending and has made some good friends who will be with her at school later this
year.


As her parent, I can't stress enough how fantastic the staff are. They understand my daughter's personality and have encouraged her to develop into a quietly confident young lady.

The staff and in particular her key worker fully grasp my daughter's personality, strengths and weaknesses and have helped her to grow into a quietly confident young lady. She adores her time at nursery and has developed some truly beautiful friendships with a small group of like-minded children.
The
staff are excellent, always ready to listen and also ready to help her grow and develop her skills and confidence in readiness for school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter loves coming to nursery now and to be honest we do not have to put her here owing to the fact we have grandparents constantly telling us they will look after her but our little princess loves the staff and interaction of other children so I personally can not take that enjoyment away from
her. I also see she is learning from this group which is all contributing to my little one's confidence and social abilities.
I have always praised the nursery to others, the staff are always polite, the premises are very secure which is great for an overprotective mummy.
All I can say is thank you to all.

The team at Wellingborough are excellent!
They are always so helpful in the office. The team in the diamond room are fantastic. They made my little boy feel so welcome.


They always go above and beyond to accommodate. My son was really slow on his speech but has come on leaps and bounds.


Thank

you all!


Highly recommend.

I know she will be very missed when she leaves in August and both she and myself will miss everyone here. I would just like
to thank everyone and myself. We will miss you all. Thank you for the memories over the last three and a half years.

Both of my children have attended this nursery and have enjoyed their time there. My youngest still attends. The staff are friendly and approachable. The nursery is efficiently managed and there is good communication between them and me.


The children take part in some wonderful activities and

the garden is a fantastic space for them to play and explore.

My little boy loves being at Kiddi Caru. He’s now moved into the preschool room and he’s getting used to more structure and routines that will stand him in good stead for school later this year. The ladies are doing a great job at helping him to express himself and learn things in a way that works for
him.

My little one has been attending the nursery since she was 8 months old and she’s come on leaps and bounds with her learning and general social skills. Now being 2 years old she's grown with confidence and every day I’m still amazed by what she’s learnt. From the songs she sings to actions or dance
moves, I know she is having fun while making friends. The staff are very attentive and really do care for the children. They are also incredibly understanding and always put themselves out to make things better.

From the moment our little boy started at Kiddi Caru Wellingborough we have been nothing but delighted with it. He has been cared for so thoughtfully and his individual needs have been carefully considered at every point. He has just moved into his new room and the great transition process has meant
this has been very smooth for us all. The staff have always gone above and beyond to ensure he is safe and happy.

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.
