Review from Sophie C (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son was a very shy boy and wasn't very keen on venturing to far away from me and playing with others. After being at Kiddi Caru a while now, he has come out if his shell and happily plays with other children. His speech has come on leaps and bounds and I do believe that the staff at Kiddi Caru have
helped with this due to there support alongside a speech therapist.
My son comes home happy and looks forward to going back.
Thank you so much for all your support. Best nursery in Wellingborough. My only downside that it is a bit more expensive than the other nursery in the area but you pay for what you get and worth every penny.

My 9 months old baby loves being at Kiddi Caru. She is always happy which means I’m not worrying about her. The key workers are fantastic in the baby room and are very friendly and approachable. I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone.

A lovely team of staff who are always ready to welcome my boys in the morning and make their day as fun as possible! Always smiling, always friendly and always helpful and caring! I love the effort to involve us as parents at this stage of my boys learning and we’re always up for the latest homework
challenge!

Review from Sarah (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Friendly staff who genuinely seem interested in my children's development. Listen to my perspective and fully supportive of changes or trying new things e.g. pull ups. Range of indoor and outdoor activities and the staff try and use their favourite things to help them learn. My boys love cars so the
staff would count them and encourage conversations with colours. Room transitions are generally good with enough visits in the run up to help the boys although less obvious when some may take place. I have found the food very varied and the children are encouraged to try everything and self serve as they get older. I love the little things here like place mats for mealtimes with their photo on and if you mention a family birthday coming up they will sit with the child to make a card. Very happy with the care and ethos of this nursery.

My little boy thoroughly enjoys his 3 days a week at nursery, he has so much to occupy and entertain him that sometimes it's a struggle to get him to leave!
The ladies who look after him are lovely.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter had a very distressing experience in another setting that left her scared of interacting with children. The staff at Kiddi Caru worked closely with my daughter, slowly building her confidence. Now, she is a very happy confident child who can deal with different situations. I can never thank
all the staff enough for all the hard work, care and love given to my child. Amazing nursery.

Our daughter has been attending Kiddi Caru Wellingborough for 3 days a week for 2 years. She loves her nursery and has a close affinity to it. The staff are excellent, attentive and caring towards her - she classes the staff as her friends. We are lucky to have found this nursery where we feel safe
in the knowledge that our daughter will be cared for and happy during the day. We look forward to him telling us stories of her exciting day each evening when we pick her up, assuming we can drag her away.

Review from Katie (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can not recommend this nursery highly enough. From our very first visit with our son, we all felt at ease and comfortable. Staff are attentive, informative and caring. Our son has additional health needs and we were immediately put at ease that the staff recognised this and were responsive to us as
a family. As our son has progressed through the nursery rooms he has become confident, and although he has at times been wary with the change all staff have responded appropriately and warmly to both us as parents and him too.
We will miss our visits to Kiddi Caru in September when our son goes to ‘big school’ but with the skills and knowledge he has been given during his time at the nursery we know he will continue to flourish. Thank you.

My daughter is now 2 & 1/2 years old and started attending when she was 10 months. The whole time she has been there, the staff have been amazing, caring and approachable. My daughter has so much fun she sometimes would rather stay there than come home. I trust the staff fully with my daughter and my
9-month son will be starting his adventure with them in the next couple of weeks. I feel very reassured knowing that they will both be safe and be having fun while I am at work.

My daughter started at Kiddi Caru at 10 months old in the baby room and has been there since. She is no 4 years old and will finish in August 2018 ready for school. I will recommend this nursery to all family and friends as is it an outstanding nursery, very clean, tidy, food prepared on site and of
a very high quality with the menu changing for all the children on a daily basis. Staff are very friendly and give so much attention to the children. My daughter has developed so well within this nursery, she has become confident and very intelligent. I have so much trust in the nursery and their staff knowing my daughter will be taken care of on a day to day basis. Seeing my daughter look forward to going nursery, making friends, being happy and learning new things is the most important factor for me. This is exactly how she has been throughout her time at Kiddi Caru. She will certainly miss attending the nursery and miss all the staff when she leaves for school.

Overall it’s a good nursery as I can see my little one growing nicely. When we are concerned about our child or nursery, it’s a good thing that the staff listen and management takes notice also. Especially I’m thankful to the main staff member who looks after my child. The help and support I’m getting
from her for my child’s speaking and development, it’s beyond my expectations. Many thanks to her especially.

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.
