Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I really love how well they take care of my child, they all go above and beyond to make sure that the parents and child are okay, they include parents a lot in activities. I would like to have more updates on how well my child is progressing with her development stages but overall I am happy with the
choice I made to send my child to her nursery she loves being there and I feel comfortable knowing that she is safe and secure.

My daughter loves the teachers and she is really happy at this nursery, especially after a bad experience with a previous one I can see many improvements. I am happy that she is having friends and the staff are really empathic and friendly with the kids. She loves the chef's food.

The team at Kiddi Caru AG have been wonderful since joining a year ago. We initially had a few hiccups, but that was promptly resolved and taken care of. They have never fallen short of making sure my daughter was well taken care of! A year on now, my daughter loves the staff and adores them and enjoys
going to nursery to be with her friends. She has learnt and grown so much and I’m so happy with her development. Thank you to the team at AG Kiddi Caru.

The nursery is good. The staff are excellent. They update you when fetching kids on how they were doing during the day. They are really friendly. The management team is also very good. They do have a garden where kids play. The school also update us on what the children were learning especially when
playing with toys. The nursery allows us to borrow storybooks for our kids.

Good afternoon. Everything is fine and I thank the staff and educators. My child doesn't really speak English but he understands it as much as possible and I would like to ask the staff to deal more deeply with children who are new.
Thank you.

Very friendly and welcoming staff, explanations are very clear and detailed. All questions are answered too. One of the big highlights is that staff are making sure that they have appropriate information of the child such as food preferences and what child is enjoying to do in order to help them grow
and develop at the same time when having fun and making sure that they have food that is healthy and nutritional. Also staff are amazing with the children, children are going to them mostly without crying and having fun. That is amazing to see, as a mother of a child.

Overall very good nursery, with lots of children's activities, great management and lovely caring teachers. My child progressed wonderfully at the nursery. He's become an independent young boy and improved his vocabulary and communication skills. Great Parents-teachers communication. The atmosphere

Both my 3-year and 1-year-olds absolutely love coming here. The staff are very friendly, warm and supportive and will answer any enquiries I have.
My youngest had an operation which required a bit of delicate aftercare and both his key workers did brilliantly at taking care of him. I have absolutely
no concerns and would recommend this nursery to my friends.

My son currently attends two mornings a week. He always seems to enjoy himself and the staff inform us what he has been up to during the day. He loves the food there and often has two portions! The approach that the nursery takes towards child development and attachments are in line with my own beliefs,
that learning is best done with creative play within safe environments with secure attachments. The staff are always friendly and cheerful too. My son's language and skills have come on leaps and bounds since starting too.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.887)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.887) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Abington Grove is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.887 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Abington Grove is calculated as follows: ( (245 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.887
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Abington Grove is based on 23 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
