Lovely staff and very helpful in answering all queries. The place looks very nice and neat, the new buggy room has a lot more space.
My child since it started has improved her communication skills a lot.

I love my daughter's nursery, they have supported me and my daughter in many ways, to make her settling down a success. She loves her teacher and I'm so grateful for the love she shows my daughter on a daily basis. The nursery is very clean and tidy. She has learnt a lot from her nursery since she started.

My daughter has been at Kido for nearly 3 years now. Whilst the nursery looks a bit odd from the outside, the nursery is modern and well-designed inside, with lovely roof gardens for outdoor play. The nursery chef provides delicious home-cooked food that my daughter loves.
Most importantly the staff
are all absolutely wonderful, my daughter started at 9 months and has moved from the baby room up. At every step of the way, in every room she has been so happy and well cared for. The staff have also helped her progress with language, numbers and social skills, so she will be very well prepared for starting school next year. I couldn't be happier with this nursery and would highly recommend it.
Reply from Jessica Dono, New Launch & Brand Activation Manager at Kido Elephant ParkThank you for your kind words. We are so glad to hear that your daughter has had such a positive experience at Kido and that she is thriving in all aspects of her development. It's wonderful to know she is well-prepared for school, and we are grateful for your recommendation!

A very good nursery with an excellent environment that meets a child's needs. Most of the staff are highly experienced, qualified, devoted and passionate in what they do. They engaged my daughter very well despite her disability. Supported us throughout the process of her EHCP. Good job. Keep it up.

My son finished nursery in July 2023 and he went to Tigers for about two years. It helped him first in speech development and during the years to be ready for Reception. I am so thankful for the hard work and the devotion the whole staff puts into making our children feel confident, happy and ready
for their future.


Thank you for everything Tigers. My son is missing you and from time to time he talks about the teachers and the place! Keep up the good job!

A delightful, well-appointed and well-run nursery. The staff are wonderfully caring, and they've taken pragmatic decisions regarding the pandemic, which has been a relief. It feels like a little family. Would gladly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife and I consider ourselves lucky to have the possibility to send our daughter to Tigers. The teachers are all wonderful and our little one, despite having a shy personality, feels very comfortable around them.
They have a nice range of activities, cultural awareness events, sustain charitable
causes, expose children to different languages and cultures, we can really see the impact on our daughter development, where she comes back home learning skills and words we did not teach her.
There have been few minor issues here and there, but a simple talk with the manager always sorted them out promptly and politely which speaks volumes on the quality of the service provided.
The food variety and quality are also very good which is a reassurance.
The building is fantastic as well, they used to have an open-door policy, unfortunately, because of covid, we are not allowed to enter the building to pick up our child, as we loved to go in their room.
Reply from Tosin King, Manager at Kido Elephant ParkThank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We really appreciate your constant support throughout. We are delighted that you are happy with the service we provide, and it is has been great watching your daughter's developmental growth.
Hopefully, with the government's new open-up phases, we can start looking into welcoming parents into our building.
Warmest regards.

Our 14-month-old daughter started nursery in January 2021, and like most of the children, the settling-in period was not easy, however, the staff at Tigers were amazing in helping us going through this tough time. After a couple of weeks, our daughter settled-in nicely and is now enjoying Tigers so
much that she walks in on her own smiling. The kindness and professionalism of the staff, together with the number of activities that our daughter is able to do there, make Tigers an amazing place for her to be in and develop.

My son loves this nursery and all its staff from the very first moment he walked in for our tour. He and I were welcomed, and he didn’t want to leave when we came away from the tour. Since he started 3-months ago, Tigers management and staff have continued to impress me. The settling in process was
a breeze for both of us, no easy task during a pandemic. They are wonderful with the children and take care to keep the children safe and interact with them on many levels. My son loves it so much he wants to go every day of the week. We couldn’t have chosen a better place for him.

This is one of the best nurseries I have ever witnessed. The way the staff approach you with your concerns and the way they empathise with your concerns about your child is so reassuring. I am really happy my daughter attends this nursery. My daughter has completely changed she is happier, more interactive
and she is now more eager to explore new things. This is one best decision that I have done for my daughter to attend Tigers day nursery.

We love this nursery! And especially our little one who's telling us every day at pick up time, she had a really good day. Indeed, the whole team is very professional and kind. But moreover, they are listening to the child and their needs. No absurd rules, like we experienced in my little one's former
nursery, where it was based on ages and not on the individual child's development. We are so happy we changed for Tigers and also happy that my daughter is enjoying her time learning and playing there. Another nice thing about this nursery is the overall infrastructure. It's clean, bright (thanks to the big windows), and spacious. The area we loved most is the lovely outside terrace.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.773)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.773) out of 10 for Kido Elephant 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.773 for Kido Elephant Park is calculated as follows: ( (259 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 331 Ratings = 4.773
  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 Elephant Park is based on 28 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 28 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.
