The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 3.544 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddie Kloud Day Nursery is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 = 3.25
Target of 6.8 positive Reviews (34 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 2 Reviews ÷ 6.8 Target = 0.294

My daughter joined Kiddie Kloud Day Nursery when she was 6 months old, now 10 months, she can crawl, stand, walk around furniture, wave, clap hands and say four words (mama, dada, hiya and ta). I feel that all the above is possible due to the staff at Kiddie Kloud encouraging her on a daily basis. My daughter is full of smiles for the staff and is extremely content when dropping her off.

My daughter has settled really quickly into this lovely nursery and the staff have put a lot of effort into establishing a routine from early on.
The food is varied and the staff seem to put a lot of effort into different activities for the children to do.
Although the nursery have no outside space, as such, they take the children out on long walks each day to get fresh air, see the horses and have a walk around in their wellies.
There is also an indoor garden room and wet/muddy play area which is ample.
As the nursery is fairly new, all of the facilities are clean, modern and also very spacious.

Our daughter has settled really well at Kiddie Kloud and mainly due to the lovely, caring staff. I like that they take the children for a walk regularly and the indoor "outdoor play area" is great as it ensures the children can always let off steam whatever the weather.
Our daughter has a great time at nursery and I am confident that she is receiving excellent care.

This nursery is truly fantastic. Our daughter has been coming for a few months now, and she is always smiling when we come to pick her up. She clearly has a lot of fun! We have got to know each of the carers quite well, and they are all incredibly friendly and welcoming. The facilities are excellent, especially their sensory room, and "all weather outdoor area". I am particularly fond of the fact that they are so close to a large park, where they regularly go for walks, especially on bright sunny days.
We are very happy to send our daughter to Kiddie Kloud, and are thankful to all their staff for looking after her so well.

My two youngest grandsons belong to this nursery and I couldn't be happier and more confident with the staff and the opportunities social, play and educational, they provide. My elder grandson has blossomed and is so happy and confident as he races in every day. He had been unsettled with previous childcare. The youngest reaches out to go in. The homemade food and facilities first class with a large special indoor "outdoor" space and outdoor walks everyday making up for no outdoor facilities.

My two youngest sons have been here since July and I couldn't be happier. The staff are enthusiastic, friendly and warm. The elder of my two boys has struggled to settle elsewhere and yet not once has he cried or been upset to be left! In fact sometimes he doesn't want to leave!
I feel confident leaving my boys here and it makes going to work that little bit easier. The lack of outdoor space is not a problem at all, in fact the staff turn it into a positive by talking the children out to fun places every day. My boys are becoming confident, sociable little people and the staff here have really helped.

My daughter started at Kiddie Kloud Day Nursery at the age of 15 months. Within days of attending, she was settled and happy to see me go and that made me know she was at the right nursery. The staff are all lovely. They attend to my daughter's needs and help her to explore and develop. I would highly recommend the nursery. The equipment they have is great. There is so much to do and learn and to see. My daughter is so happy when she is there. It is so lovely.

Everyone at the nursery has been so welcoming and encouraging to my daughter. After worrying about putting her into childcare, they have made it so much easier. They are very accommodating and flexible. Brilliant toys and activities from birth to preschool. A great range of food and snacks are provided, they even take the children to the local farm for a walk. I highly recommend and want to say a big thanks to everyone at Kiddie Kloud.

The nursery is a wonderful place, safety is number 1, freshly prepared food daily to a high standard, wonderful caring staff, many play/educational toys, books, spotlessly clean environment, a great testimony. My granddaughter wants to stay when it is time to collect her. We are incredibly happy.
