We could not be happier. The team are brilliant and so kind - they care so much about your child's happiness. They helped our daughter settle in when she was nervous and each day they do great activities - with lots of craft for you to take home. The food is very varied and they spend lots of time outside.
We could not recommend Kido tooting more highly.

My son has been at Kido for almost 2 years now and he absolutely loves going every single morning. From going through all of the rooms into his current room experimenters he enjoys every second. My son has gained so much confidence since being at Kido and I know that is a testament to the amazing work
from the staff. The staff at Tooting are also so lovely engaging with me as a parent and easing any concerns I have about my son's development and supporting us just as much as him.

The staff at Kido are incredible, our baby loves attending - seeing her run in to greet them each morning with a big smile is so heartwarming.


Our baby joined Kido in Tooting a year ago when she was just 6 months old, we were really anxious about leaving her and returning to work but the whole Kido

team just made us feel so welcome from the outset. It's a huge decision to decide who to leave your child with, especially as she was so young and our first. She couldn't even sit up so we were terrified with how she'd be around other babies who could crawl and walk about. But honestly the Kido team have done everything they can to help and care for our baby - we wouldn't change them for the world.


The spaces are great, the app is useful but most importantly the staff are always on hand to tell you about your baby's day and answer any questions. It really puts your mind at ease knowing the team genuinely care.

Our child has been at the nursery for six months and loves it. She settled in straight away, which was reassuring because she started at only six months old. The staff were really caring and she really loves her key workers. As we were only just starting her weaning journey when she started, the team
have been integral in helping us to progress with eating solids. They have also developed her interests in painting and music and go above and beyond in making her happy and developing her skills. The whole team put in so much effort for the children and parents which makes Kido Tooting such a warm, welcoming place - we couldn't have picked a better nursery for our little one.

We couldn't be happier with our daughter's nursery experience! It has exceeded our expectations in so many ways, especially compared to our son's previous nursery. This is definitely the best in the area.
While the onboarding process wasn't great at first, the team quickly turned things around and
has been amazing ever since. The staff is absolutely lovely, and it's clear they genuinely care for the children.
Our daughter loves going in every day, and we've been so impressed with the engaging activities and well-organized events. Another aspect we really appreciate is the open and welcoming environment-being able to pick up our daughter from the classroom or garden and see her in action is a wonderful touch.
Overall, we're extremely happy with this nursery and highly recommend it to other parents!

Review from Chelsea L (Mother of Child) published on 26 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a parent from an Asian country, it's uncommon for families to send children to daycare before age three. When I decided to enrol my 10-month-old at Kido Tooting, I faced family pressure, with grandparents even coming to the UK to express their concerns.
Choosing Kido Tooting was the best decision
I made in 2024. I regularly use translation software to update my family about my child's well-being, sharing details about nutritious meals and attentive care for allergies. The dedicated staff promptly communicate any issues.
I often tell my family, "You don't have staff member's experience, patience, or ability to connect with children." The team is professional, patient, and compassionate. As a first-time parent, their support has been invaluable, from answering my questions to providing monthly progress reports.
Returning to my demanding job was possible thanks to Kido Tooting's exceptional team. I am grateful for their care and the independence it allows me.

The Kido Tooting team really care about the children who attend their nursery.
This is shown by the affection and knowledge they have of my own children.
The nursery brings all the ages together which creates a lovely community feel.
They create special moments to bring us all together and enjoy
time with our children and their friends.

I want to express appreciation for the excellent care and attention my daughter has received at Kido Tooting. Every time we enter the nursery, we are greeted with smiles and a warm welcome. The staff members are genuinely caring individuals. They have formed strong bonds with the children and go above

From arts and crafts to outdoor play, it's clear that the nursery provides a diverse range of stimulating experiences for the children. I appreciate the regular updates and communication from the nursery staff. Whether it's through reports or informal chats at pick-up time, I always feel informed about my daughter's day and any important developments.

Lovely staff, very kind and patient and seem to get along well. Management is also very friendly and helpful. Facilities are clean and roomy, with lots of natural light and a nice garden at the back.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since it opened, and I can confidently say that she has thrived, grown, and learned every day. The staff are highly attentive and it's clear that they have a genuine love for working with children, which is heartwarming to see. The management team is excellent,

We've tried out three nurseries in Tooting over the last few years and Kido is simply outstanding. Management and teachers are brilliant, forming relationships quickly, the building has been completely redone and the rooms are beautiful, and the thing we really appreciate is the extensive feedback on
our son's progress. We get detailed reports on his progress every month, weekly updates with dozens of photos, and daily chats at pickup. We could not be happier.

After looking at lots of different settings we chose Kido for our 2-year-old son and we've been so happy with the nursery!
Since starting he's increased in his confidence and independence.
The staff are lovely and so helpful, they've helped him transition into nursery life really smoothly.
He
does lots of different activities such as painting, dancing, sports, messy play, imaginary play and sensory play.
The Kido app gives us updates throughout the day on how he's getting on. At the end of the week, we get photos of the children playing together in the nursery and we get given daily schedules of different activities the children will be doing and what themes they will be learning about for example colours of the rainbow.
We get a monthly feedback review of how he's getting on and the goals they are working on with our son over the next month.
They also organise events for parents to meet and to have different teaching sessions i.e. sleep training.
We can't recommend Kido enough!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.693)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.693) out of 10 for Kido Tooting 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 4.860 for Kido Tooting is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.86
  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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kido Tooting 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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.833
  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.
