Kiddi Caru Abington Park, Northampton, a GrandirUK Day Nursery

My son has been at this nursery since he was 14 months old and is now nearly three. His development has been incredible, and his experience at this nursery has been nothing but positive. As a first-time mum, it was daunting knowing I’d be leaving him to go to work; however, the staff, app updates and nature of the nursery supported this change, and knowing he loves attending and doesn’t look back once the door is open is so heartwarming. Not only that, the things he is learning and doing there are invaluable to his progression. We look forward to his little sister starting there in the next few weeks.

Through the process of choosing a nursery for my little girl now going here, the staff have been incredibly supportive, helpful and understanding, and as a first-time mother, you want to make sure your child is going to the best place, and for us this was it.

Kiddi Caru Abington Park is an excellent nursery. We moved my son from another nursery due to lack of care. It is the best decision we ever made regarding our son, who we felt was behind his peers at the time. The fantastic nursery setting, along with the amazing staff providing excellent care, is what any parent would want when they leave their child at the nursery. From the moment we first met the manager at the nursery, we knew we were at the right place. She put our fears at rest and assured us of the quality of care. What I most like about the nursery is that so far I have dealt with so many members of the staff and every single one of them has been excellent. I would praise them all for their dedication and hard work. They actually care about my child and are aware of the issues when you raise them. I know that my son is in good hands and I no longer need to worry (which I did a lot of before). We'll continue to stay with them as long as they will have us. Thank you all-we cannot appreciate you guys enough!

I wouldn’t recommend you sending your children to this nursery.

Good facilities for children to learn on speech and interaction with other kids. Good care is given to kids, very friendly and caring staff. All communication with management is very good. Child is always looking forward to attending classes as they’ve made friends.

My son has been coming to Kiddi Caru Day Nursery for a year now. He looks very happy when I drop him off in the morning and when I pick him up. He seems to learn lots of things here because I can see him at home when he surprises me with new things that I have never shown him before. I love the parent's evening where we discuss if I have any concerns about my son so the staff can improve it and work more on these needs with my son. Last but not least, I do appreciate that is a clean nursery and I can tell this was the first thing I have checked when I have visited the nursery on the open day.

My daughter enjoys nursery and the very friendly manner.

The high-quality location and facilities.

Every little thing is thought about, the key workers know my little girl inside and out and I trust them implicitly with her. They are fantastic with me when I have questions I love the updates through tapestry.

Would highly recommend this nursery as the staff are so caring and warm to the children. My daughter has come on so much since joining and is constantly coming home and showing us different things she has learnt.

I would happily recommend this nursery.

Our child has been attending since starting in the baby room and has progressed so well. Staff are so friendly and I know that he is really well taken care of from the moment at drop off till collection. The nursery has great outdoor space and keeps us well informed. The team all work hard and I have noticed our child develop so well since attending.

Such care and concern when my daughter is poorly. Very professional in checking on her attendance and how best they can help her once she returns. Phone call received early and genuine concern for her well being was shown.

They really are a lovely bunch!

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery has been amazing since my daughter started in October last year. She took a while to settle but the staff have been so caring and helpful in her time there. The updates we receive every day are a great piece of mind knowing she is being well looked after. She comes home every day full of beans, chatting away and never hesitates when we drop her off.

The staff are so kind and fun, my little boy always goes in with a smile on his face and dances when I come to pick him up. They feed him well, make sure he has lots of activity time and keep in touch with me about anything going on through the day that I need to be informed about. My only complaint is the sheer amount of dirty clothing that comes home but that’s because he does so much messy play which he adores. Smiles all round! I would definitely recommend.

My child has been attending this nursery for almost two years and has experienced every room and most of the staff. He is always welcomed with care every morning. He is so happy to go and so happy when he's collected (apart from when he wants to stay). He has absolutely thrived here and even though we have just moved across the other side of town, I won't be moving him as he absolutely loves it. I trust this nursery with my son as much as I would my family members.

Most importantly, I know she has a lot of fun and is well cared for!

I also feel that for the significant cost of the nursery, far more updates should be given about next steps, current/planned learning activities and how specifically my child is progressing. I do not feel that I know anywhere near enough how well my child is progressing.

Lastly, there appears to be a significant staff turnover which is unsettling for a child when his key worker is constantly changing

My little boy loves it here and he has a genuine connection with those he is looked after by. He’s always smiling when he leaves and his development is coming on so well, his social skills particularly. He’s made so many friends.

My son is in his final few months at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Abington Park and he has thoroughly enjoyed his time here. His sister also came through this nursery and progressed to school 2-years ago. The carers have, on the whole, been excellent and the children have had good relationships with them. The nursery is a safe and fun environment with good outdoor spaces.
