Review from T B (Father of Child) published on 18 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have two daughters attend the nursery, one who will soon be starting school and another in the baby room. The staff are super friendly, informative and are happy to address any question me or my partner may have. Most importantly, my children are safe and content, which is my main priority. I’d definitely recommend.

Review from Philip M (Father of Child) published on 17 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are thrilled with Kido. As first-time parents, we were apprehensive about leaving our son at nursery, but it quickly became apparent that he was in safe hands.
The staff have all been very friendly and helpful, and a pleasure to deal with.
A huge bonus for us was the app where we receive updates on our son's activities, together with photos, nappy changes, what he's eating (and how much of it), etc. This is a really nice touch, and it's lovely to receive these updates whilst I'm at work.
Our son settled in very quickly and leaves the nursery full of smiles, so I'm pretty sure he's having a great time. The activities appear to be varied and fun for him. There also appears to be a good variation in the food served.
I wholly recommend Kido to other parents.

Thank you to all at Kido Crouch End.

Reply from Katerina Karnavou, Parent Engagement Manager at Kido Crouch End

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're glad your son quickly settled in and enjoys his time at Kido. The app updates, friendly staff, and varied activities seem to have made a great impact. Thank you for choosing Kido Crouch End!

Review from A S (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has settled in very easily into Kido Crouch End nursery due to the warm and caring staff. They make a great effort to know each child’s individual needs and give them the attention they require. They have many stem activities throughout the day and my son always tries to replicate them at home. The food is very healthy and the nursery is always in a clean/tidy condition even towards the end of the day.

Amazing nursery! Staff are really friendly, informative and offer great communication. They listen and take the time to work with us in ensuring our sons development and care needs are met, alongside offering advice when prompted. Our son has flourished beautifully here and is very happy here.

Review from Emese T (Mother of Child) published on 26 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Is always hard to leave your child with someone else, but over the course of time this has proven the best decision. After trying out 3 very popular outstanding nurseries in the area and being super disappointed Kido was my last chance of trying again. Staff are great, we love the little outdoor and indoor space, my son had really good connections and he was very happy there. He is now off to school in September but if I had another child, I would not take him anywhere else. Best nursery in the area, in my opinion.

Reply from Katerina Karnavou, Parent Engagement Manager at Kido Crouch End

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback and we wish you all the best of luck for his new adventure in school!

Overall Experience
Where to start ... I’m a first-time mum and I was super worried about leaving my 11-month-old when I went back to work. I didn’t need to be, she has blossomed and changed so much in the last 5 months.
She loves going to see her friends and comes home covered in all sorts of paints and glitter from all the fun they have had during the day.
The Kido team are wonderful at keeping us up to date on how she is progressing and her speech and eating skills have come on so fast.

I can’t recommend Kido enough.

Reply from Katerina Karnavou, Parent Engagement Manager at Kido Crouch End

Thank you very much for the lovely feedback! We are glad to see how happy your daughter at our nursery is and how she develops within our care.

Review from Esme d (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at Kido for 7 months now, since she was 1, and has absolutely blossomed under their care. Seeing her walk in happy and excited for the day makes us feel really comforted and she always comes home happy and full of ‘stories’ about her day! The app is great for seeing what and how much they have eaten, when and for how long they have slept, and we always get photo updates of her day. I’ve been really impressed with the quality of the food and feel confident that she’s getting a balanced diet (especially important as she doesn’t eat meat). The staff are so welcoming, really kind and caring and also lots of fun. There are always loads of great activities going on and the team organise some great opportunities for parents to get together too. We have been super impressed with Kido and are so happy we chose it.

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! We are glad that you enjoy using the app and that you are happy with the quality of the food provided by the professional nursery kitchen. The team will be happy to see your lovely comments.

Overall Experience

We love Kido Crouch End. As a first time mum, I was very anxious at first but seeing my baby smile when I park the car to drop him off said a million words to me. He settled in very quickly and doesn’t even wait for me to wave goodbye as he is always excited to start his day.

The staff are very attentive and so kind. The building itself is modern and beautiful with loads of space and resources for the children to explore.

I would highly recommend Kido Crouch End.

A million thank yous for putting my mind at peace!

Review from L B (Mother of Child) published on 21 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Kido Crouch End has exceeded my expectations of a nursery. I was apprehensive at the thought of leaving my little one at a nursery when they were so young, but Kido Crouch End has been wonderful. The staff seem competent, professional, organised and friendly. They have a good routine/flow for the day with breakfast, snacks, naps, lunch and nappy checks/changes. I was only really focusing on my child’s safety, care and happiness on choosing a nursery but Kido organise a variety of wonderful activities focusing on child development and play - puzzles, books, drawing, modeling clay, sand and other sensory play. They are aware of my child’s different areas of development and those areas that need a little encouragement. The food seems great with some good healthy meals. The venue is newly decorated and is a fresh, nice looking environment. I’m very pleased that I found Kido and would certainly recommend it.

Review from Richard C (Father of Child) published on 16 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are delighted with Kido Crouch End. Our son started at 1 year old and has been there for nearly 5 months and we feel extremely comfortable with everything.
We got a great feeling as soon as went to look around; it wasn't pushy and the communication was good.
Our son took a while to settle in, which we expected, but has grown to love it.
We love the mobile app which lets us see what he's been up to during the day and we get regular messages from the staff with lovely photos and stories of his progress.

We would certainly recommend it to anyone.

Review from Katie L (Mother of Child) published on 5 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Kido Nursery is a really friendly, welcoming environment with a lovely community of parents! Our 20 month old started at the nursery around 1 year and has grown in character and developmental abilities significantly in that time. She also absolutely loves the staff and the other children and gains so much from her time at nursery. She has developed strong bonds with the lovely staff as well as personal relationships with the other children. Her development has also been significant and the activities and environment Kido offers has really helped to encourage her in all types of activities and skills.
The nursery itself is a lovely play environment with outdoor space and is immaculately clean and well presented.

Mostly though, as a parent, it’s a joy to drop her off each morning with her smiling and rushing in to see her friends. The staff are always super helpful, very professional in accounting for allergies and the updates on the app are really appreciated.

Overall Experience

The staff at Kido Crouch End are caring and friendly and we feel safe leaving our little one in their care. It is a warm environment with a focus on family, and she has shown great development within herself and her friendships in a short space of time due to the focus and encouragement of her carers.

Thanks Alana. We really appreciate the lovely sentiments and above all strive to create a warm environment where children can thrive.

Overall Experience

Kido was the first experience I ever had with a nursery and I was, of course, nervous and apprehensive above sending our first baby there at 7 months but the experience has been brilliant from start to finish. The staff are great and the facilities lovely. Our baby boy has already learned so much and is much more outgoing and inquisitive since being there. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Review from Robert M (Father of Child) published on 14 October 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Kido is an absolute dream, from the centre itself, the staff, activities they provide, the Kido app which provides real-time and valuable updates daily, etc. I’ve really enjoyed listening to my daughter recite her day, whether that’s about baby yoga, Spanish lessons, making play-doh. The list really is endless. They encourage her to be creative and explore which is exactly what we wanted. They have always been flexible and accommodating to my work schedule too which is an absolute bonus. I cannot recommend Kido highly enough.

Review from Caoimhe F (Mother of Child) published on 14 October 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have found Kido to be an incredibly kind, nurturing, and accommodating nursery both on a practical and emotional level. We have been really overwhelmed by the supportive nature and the inclusivity of parents. All staff within Kido are incredible, and the management team are very responsive and supportive. It was very important to us to find somewhere for our daughter to thrive, somewhere she could learn through play but also develop and grow with a great sense of values and skills from the outset, which is exactly what Kido provide.

Overall Experience

A lovely nursery with a great team. My 15-month-old son has been going here since July - it took him a while to settle in, being a Covid baby with minimal social interaction initially, but the staff have been patient and amazing. He's happy, thriving, and looks forward to nursery every time he's there now. When it comes to dropping off/picking up/discussing activities and care, it's always positive.

We have been so happy with Kido. Our little one loves coming here, and really loves his teachers and carers. It was such an important decision to make the right choice of nursery given that there are so many in Crouch End. But we have not been disappointed at all. We especially love the outdoor and indoor play areas, and the additional activities that are put on from time to time for additional excitement!

Overall Experience

Kido Crouch End came to our rescue after a bad experience (safeguarding issue) with our previous preschool, where my son was attacked by another child. After moving to Kido he settled in right away and has made friends with other children and staff. The setup is lovely, they are consistent with app feedback and make a real effort to involve parents in everything they do. Couldn't recommend the preschool enough!

Reply from Katerina Karnavou, Parent Engagement Manager at Kido Crouch End
