The Golders Green is an Ofsted Outstanding nursery (awarded November 2021) and is located within a few hundred meters of the Golders Green underground and around the corner from Golders Hill park and its petting zoo. The nursery features large open spaces, an art studio and a beautiful garden with sandpit and mud kitchen available for the little ones to explore. The babies can also have fun in their special walled-off area in the garden. What makes the nursery most unique is the indoor slide that links the mezzanine with the ground floor.

They have created an innovative curriculum that is inspired by the best teaching philosophies, like Montessori, Reggio Emilia and the theory of Multiple Intelligences. The curriculum is created by an international team of specialists and is in line with the EYFS.

They offer multiple language instruction, daily nutritious and healthy food and snacks and all the nappies and wipes that your little one will need.

I highly recommend Kido to anyone, especially preschool room pathfinders. The staff are great, very knowledgeable and caring. The setting has a good staff retention too. They really pay attention and work on each child's development. Our son was fully supported by the teachers during his brother's arrival
and us moving houses. Also, their curriculum is very strong compared to other settings (i.e. reading, writing, languages). Thanks again for everything!
Reply from Katerina Karnavou, Parent Engagement Manager at Kido Golders Green (West Heath Drive)We're glad you have had such a great experience at Kido Golders Green and that your son received great support during important life changes. Your feedback is much appreciated!

My son has been so happy at Kido. We have had to leave, due to logistical issues sadly, but our experience has been an amazing one. The staff have remained the same throughout, they are kind and patient and have gone above and beyond in their teaching and care of him and the environment is happy and
warm. Highly recommended!

My daughter who is currently at school now used to attend Kido and my son currently attends the nursery. Both of my children have thrived being in the care of Kido staff.

Pathfinders are learning all the time. My son comes home and tells me all about his day at nursery and has come so far with learning and recognizing his letters, phonics and adding numbers together using his fingers.
I am very happy with his progress. Outstanding nursery. Very happy and would definitely
recommend Kido Golders Green.
Reply from Katerina Karnavou, Parent Engagement Manager at Kido Golders Green (West Heath Drive)Thank you very much for the lovely feedback! We are glad to see that he learns so many things at Kido Golders Green which will help him with a smoother transition at reception class.

When I collect them, my child tells me how much fun they’ve had, taking part in different activities every day. They even request nursery on the days they’re not attending, so that’s a good sign. All the staff seem to be really friendly and caring. I feel they try to be as accommodating as they can
to any special requests you might have for your child. The app is very useful for communicating with the nursery and seeing what your child has been getting up to, including meals and some pictures.

Me and my husband are very happy with Kido Golders Green nursery and the way the caregivers look after our son and the support they provide to us. Most importantly, our son is very excited to go there each morning. He has made a lot of friends and we are so grateful to see all the new things he is learning.
In this, of great help has been the weekly newsletter and observation. These bring us such joy and we are very grateful that the caregivers understand how much it means to us to see the evolution of our child through their eyes, in an environment away from home.

Very warm friendly environment, with great transparency in operations and great visibility over child’s learning and development as well as daily activities. Very happy with management as well. Special mention to the head of Kido nurseries, who really won over parents’ hearts by the way he conducted
the nursery management and operations during the pandemic. And a special mention to the lead worker who was is and will always be the most radiant, energetic and engaging lead, that any child would blossom under! Great staff, warm nurturing environment and huge gratitude to the extra care in assisting children who take a while to settle in (like my son!).

Would highly recommend Kido to any parents who are looking for a warm place for their children, the staff are so lovely. Always smiling and I really believe in the power of a smile to a tiny child - it shows him how beautiful the world is. My son comes home every day so happy and in the mornings he
can’t wait to go to nursery. The academic level is very good too, the kids get so much. They're always busy exploring and learning new things. Two years in Kido and overall, we are very happy.

My son has attended Kido for two years. He asks us regularly why he can’t attend nursery on Saturday and Sunday! That says it all. He is curious and has a love for learning and that’s accredited to the teachers positive energy.


Kido Golders Green is a warm, home away from home environment for the

children. I’ve already secured a place for my second child!
Reply from Katerina Karnavou, Parent Engagement Manager at Kido Golders Green (West Heath Drive)Thank you for your lovely feedback! It's funny to see that the children are asking to come to the nursery even on the weekends!

Kido is the most fantastic nursery.
Since joining almost two years ago my daughter is thriving and is so happy to go in the morning and comes out giggling when I collect her.
It is a happy, safe environment where the children are looked after by excellent carers and taught an array of interesting,
diverse and stimulating activities. She loves the food and comes home singing songs in all different languages.
The parent app is amazing and keeps parents informed about what the children do all day at nursery. The staff send pictures and the system is brilliant for relaying information between nursery staff and parents.
I couldn’t recommend this nursery highly enough. It’s wonderful!
Reply from Katerina Karnavou, Parent Engagement Manager at Kido Golders Green (West Heath Drive)Thank you for the lovely feedback! We are glad to see that the children enjoy the language classes and sign the songs for you when you get back home!

Our daughter has been attending Kido Golders Green for almost two years and we can definitely see positive changes in her development - both academically and socially. And we do believe that the nursery plays a major part in it. We love receiving regular updates about her day and progress at nursery

My son has been attending Kido Golders Green for over two years now and we are really pleased with the progress he has made to date and especially in the pre-school room. The teachers in this room are amazing! They are true professionals and really care about and engage the kids in educational activities.
They also teach them French and Mandarin. My son can sing five songs in French and he says he understands them. I am really glad I found Kido and would highly recommend it.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.846)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.846) out of 10 for Kido Golders Green (West Heath Drive) 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.846 for Kido Golders Green (West Heath Drive) is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.846
  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 Kido Golders Green (West Heath Drive) is based on 20 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 89 number of registered child places is 17.8, which has been reached with 20 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.
