A fantastic nursery with great staff. Really takes care of my daughter and provides regular updates on daily activities and also on the learning /development. My daughter thoroughly enjoys going to nursery each day she is there. I can’t recommend it enough.

We moved our daughter to Kido in January having recently moved to Crouch End from Islington, where she was at a different nursery. We were naturally nervous about the move, but our daughter settled in very quickly with the help and support of all the lovely staff. We've never felt anything other than
positive when dropping off/picking up/discussing activities and care. Our little girl now likes nursery so much that she acts out parts of her day there at home with us!

Thank you for the lovely feedback! The settling time is a really important step for us in order to provide the best possible experience for the children and we are glad that you felt supported.

We couldn’t be happier with our choice to register our son to Kido Crouch End. The staff really go beyond our expectations. The everyday activities are amazing and super engaging. But most importantly we can feel that all teachers are genuinely and deeply caring about our son’s physical and emotional
wellbeing. Our son is so happy and excited to go there every morning and loves his teachers and friends.

Kido is fabulous. We moved our daughter to Kido after 10 months at another nursery due to a location change. This was a really daunting process for us but the team made it a seamless transition. Now 7 months on, our daughter has come on so much with her speech and social skills. We are so happy we picked
Kido.
The team are amazing, so friendly and attentive. The nursery is a beautiful space to drop your child off each day.

Thanks for your kind words, Leah. We really appreciate it and are glad to hear that your daughter is thriving in our care.

Kido is a wonderful nursery, with warm and caring staff, excellent facilities and a great ethos. My son started a Kido in the summer just after the first lockdown. He has loved it from day 1 - come on leaps and bounds in all areas including speech, writing, etc but also made some really good friends.
Couldn’t recommend this nursery more!

I can’t speak more highly about Kido Crouch End. The staff have been incredible at helping my daughter settle in. They are brilliant, everyone is so helpful and caring, they know the children very well and will do anything to make them happy. My daughter loves all the parties and events they are having
regularly, the STEM class, the crafts and learning Mandarin. Her social and communication skills, even her manners, have improved a lot since she started. She chats about her friends and teachers and she is always smiling and happy when I collect her. The rooms are very well organised, lots of wooden toys and books. The outdoor space is not big but they are making the most of it. Children can play football and basketball, they also have bikes. The food is good (not organic) and the menu changes all the time, they take care of fussy eaters like my daughter. I am extremely pleased with Kido Crouch End, it’s a wonderful place.

We had to move our son from the previous place he was at due to neglect. We found Kido. Had a tour of the place before it had officially opened and fell in love with the place. It was a few months before we made the decision to start. Due to the pandemic, he was at home with us for a while. Once the
settling in started it just felt right. Now 4 months on we can see such a positive difference in our son. We love and look forward to the weekly updates. We feel it’s a good balance of education, activities and nutrition. We could not recommend this place more even if we tried!

Kido is fantastic! Our daughter attends and loves being there. She is learning and has made friends with both other kids and staff. The team are amazing, thoughtful, and kind. There are also lots of things for her to do and play with as well as facilities that are clean, well managed and safe. It really
has exceeded our expectations!

Wonderful new nursery in Crouch End with excellent and spacious facilities. Lovely staff at all levels and engaged and hands-on management. Our son walks in happily and confidently every morning. Having moved our son from another local nursery that we were no longer happy with, I’m pleased to say our
very high expectations have been met and we are very impressed with the philosophy and curriculum at Kido. The company works hard to do everything right. The food is excellent, healthy and nutritious. The secure app provides real-time updates throughout the day and it’s lovely to see photos and helpful to see accurate info on his naps and mealtimes. Thank you to all the staff and management for looking after our son so well!

My child started in the nursery when they were 8-months-old; they are now a year old and have come on leaps and bounds. I have seen my child grow and develop in many different ways, I am confident and happy with my choice of nursery and happy to recommend. The team are so amazing and are always ready
to answer questions.

Lovely nursery with great facilities. Starting at a new nursery at the end of the lockdown felt a bit daunting but my sons loved his time at the nursery, and can't wait to get in every day. He's formed a great relationship with all of the staff, which is really nice to see.

Our two-year-old daughter recently started at Kido and is absolutely loving it!
Having never attended a nursery before we were quite concerned that it would be a tough transition but within a couple of days, she didn’t want to leave! The staff are so warm and welcoming, we get live updates on her day
and the nursery itself is so clean and well-kept.
Would highly recommend.

Kido has gone above and beyond to make my child’s journey into the nursery as easy and seamless as possible. The facilities are exceptional with lots of light, outdoor play area, a huge common area and all wooden toys and furniture. We are updated throughout the day on our child’s activities through
the easy to use the app and have built a good rapport with all the team there. Our child is happy there, being developed, building friendships and going from strength to strength. Really pleased we chose Kido.

We've been sending our 3-year-old to Kido Crouch End since it opened this summer and have been really happy with how well he's settled in. Being so new, the space is fresh and clean and there's a fantastic variety of fun and educational toys. He loves the book corner, the outer space toys and outdoor
garden space where he can tear around. His numbers and letters recognition has significantly advanced since starting there and they're also teaching him a bit of mandarin and British Sign Language which is a cool bonus! With COVID, we've been particularly concerned with hygiene and safety and have been reassured by everything Kido are doing to keep the nursery, kids and staff as safe as possible. Would highly recommend this place for anyone considering whether or not to use childcare again.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.605)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.605) out of 10 for Kido Crouch End is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 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 4.855 for Kido Crouch End is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.855
  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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kido Crouch End is based on 15 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. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.75
  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.
