My child has been at this nursery for a few months and had settled in well. I feel the staff have created a pleasant and fun environment for my child to enjoy. They have also created a great relationship with my child which makes the process of going to nursery stress free and fun. Nursery is also good
at communicating to parents about their child and about general things.

My daughter has been at the nursery for nearly 2 months now in the ducklings room and the team have been brilliant in welcoming her into the room and making both me and little one comfortable. I get regular observations which we love to see that shows she’s having fun and getting good 1-on-1 time with
her key person. I am always confident that she will have nutritious meals from a wide range menu throughout the day too. The team are always happy and welcoming during pick-ups and drop off and more than willing to answer questions about her day. Would definitely recommend!

Spoken to by manager in a hostile manner over a misunderstanding. Regardless of the matter I am a paying customer and don't appreciate to be spoken down to condescendingly.
Never had virtual parents evening to discuss child progress at nursery, unlike friend's nurseries. I understand the nursery uses
an online journal, however, it isn't the same as talking to a staff member working with your child. I also could have addressed these concerns.
Price being increased - for what? Again when approaching friends their nursery prices have not increased. No explanation of what this is actually going to be spent on. Mentions staff therefore are you employing more staff?
Events always on a Friday therefore if your child doesn't attend Fridays like mine they won't be able to be involved.
Staff working with my child appear friendly and my child attends nursery with no concerns and appears to enjoy the time.

Really nice nursery and excellent staff. I would recommend this nursery to family and friends. They are really caring and polite people, they are great with the activities that they do. My son comes out and tells us all about his day in nursery and what he has done. He enjoys it and enjoys making new
friends.

It gives me comfort and joy to see my daughter excited about going to her nursery. She loves almost everything about the nursery. The teachers, activities and playing with her friends. She cannot wait to go back to nursery when she is not in nursery. Well done to the Swans!

I can't preach the good works of this amazing nursery enough. Genuine care, compassion, commitment, excellence to name but a few are the attributes of Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Abington Park. My son has been attending for two years now and it's been such an amazing journey for him and all
of us. The management team is brilliant and so friendly, always willing to help in whatever way they can. Teaching staff are fantastic, they genuinely care for your child and it's centered to the child's individual needs. The staff to child ratio is such that, the teachers are able to dedicate a good amount of time to each child. The rooms are spacious, the children have big play areas to explore and learn, whilst having fun. The curriculum is fantastic and my child indeed has learnt so much and continues to learn even more here at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Abington Park. As a parent, you're always updated with and included in the progress of your child and any future steps planned for them. Excellent place!

My son has been going to Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Abington Park, for nearly 2 years and we are so pleased we chose this nursery. We had a good feeling when we looked around, everyone is lovely there. I’ve watched our son grow in confidence since being there, from learning to communicate with
others to forming great friendships. They do so much there each day and it’s great that they are starting to do things to get them ready for school. All the activities look and sound fun. The food is great. The staff are always friendly & happy. I couldn’t recommend it enough.

My child has been going to this nursery for nearly 2 years and I have never had an issue with the staff, they are always helpful and my child absolutely loves going. He has developed loads with his speech and understanding of things, along with him feeling confident with toilet training - it's brilliant
to see.
We always receive updates and photos of what our child is doing and what next steps they are going to be taking to help him further. Brilliant staff and very helpful.

The staff at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton (Abington park) have been incredible throughout our 2-year journey with them. My daughter started at 10 months and they were so supportive of our needs and ensured I was looked after as much as my daughter (as I found it very tough leaving her at first
after having had a long maternity leave with her!).
We were kept up to date regularly with daily on-line accounts which had photographs of what my daughter got up to in the day. My daughter created wonderful bonds with all staff and other children at the nursery and always looked forward to going. I can't recommend this nursery enough for any parent!

I wholeheartedly recommend Abington Park Day Nursery which surpassed my expectations on every level.
My daughter started during the summer of 2020 and has thrived from day one. She instantly made strong connections with the engaging, friendly and loving staff and had genuine feelings of admiration
for them. The variety of activities the team organise is excellent with themes and plenty of learning opportunities. My daughter always has lots to talk about and looks forward to her time at nursery. Each day we are sent pictures of her day, weekly observations and monthly development objectives.
The nursery is efficiently run by the excellent management team who are on hand to help and support both the nursery staff and families.
I will be sad when the day comes for my daughter to leave to start school but I know she and I will have many fond memories of her time here.

I have been very impressed with the nursery and the hedgehog team since my daughter started a few months ago. The nursery is well led and a warm, collaborative and caring culture has been established. The nursery were flexible in their approach to help my daughter settle during the pandemic and demonstrated
a high level of knowledge and experience in child development and attachment.
My daughter is cared for by a fantastic team of practitioners who are confident, skilled and clearly love their job. She is making excellent progress and is excited to go to nursery each session. What more could a parent ask for?
I would highly recommend any new parents looking for childcare to book a visit to meet the team and explore the nursery.

My son joined the nursery in January after a few Covid safe settling in sessions that took place in December. I had concerns about sending my son to nursery following the various lockdowns and restrictions during 2020 as I was concerned how he would settle after little social interaction outside of
the family however, I need not of worried. The staff in ducklings room are so caring and helped my son settle into his nursery routine with ease.
Each day he is cared for, eats a variety of foods and enjoys various activities and lots of messy play! They indulge his interests (reading, musical instruments, sensory play etc) and I can tell how much he enjoys spending time there. The nursery use Tapestry to share photos and write-ups about your child’s day so you really feel included as to what their day was like.
I, without a doubt, wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend this nursery and the staff in ducklings room.

My daughter loves coming to nursery, she always has a big smile on her face when one of the staff from ducklings comes to the door to get her.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.764)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.764) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Abington Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.764 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Abington Park is calculated as follows: ( (223 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 263 Ratings = 4.764
  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 Park is based on 21 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 21 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.
