Review from Rosie A (Mother of Child) published on 18 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with this nursery. Our child is so well cared for-he literally runs in every morning with excitement. The management team creates a warm, well-organised and child-focused environment. We love getting daily updates and photos that show how happy and engaged he is.


The staff

are incredibly professional, kind, and clearly love what they do. They work long, demanding days with so many moving parts, yet always show care and patience. When we had concerns around biting, the management handled it with sensitivity, working with us on a positive plan.


There's always something fun going on-Spanish lessons, fancy dress days, photos, and trips. It's a joyful, enriching place and we feel very lucky to be part of this community.


[Note: I gave 4 not 5 stars for outside space because the outdoor area might be smaller than other nurseries but with the park so close its never been an issue].

Lovely nursery with lovely staff. Our daughter truly enjoys spending time there. She started nursery 6 months ago and I feel she came long way. Settling period for us was a bit longer, but staff was so positive and supportive along the way. Now she absolutely loves going to the nursery and with no hesitation
she goes to her teachers arms every morning. She loves her food and I love to see all the different food options they have everyday. Also it is super helpful that we get all the updates on how their day has been through the App and we can't wait to see photo updates we get twice a week. Facilities are nice, new and clean. Outdoors space is ok and they are fully using everything they have. Having looked at few nurseries in the area I think Kido has one of the better facilities around. Overall we are super happy with this nursery, staff are lovely and they really care for our little ones.

My daughter has been attending Kido Battersea since she was 11 months old, she's now 2.5 years and absolutely loves it! She comes home everyday brimming with smiles and chatter about her friends and what she's been doing throughout the day. The staff and management are absolutely fantastic, they're
so kind and caring towards the children and they're always happy to answer any questions I have. The facilities are great, the classrooms full of great resources for the children and the nursery is beautifully clean everyday.

Best nursery in town! My son loves going to nursery and he is always happy. He is progressing a lot in terms of personal growth and showing his character.
They push him a lot to come out his shell.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 2-year-old son has been attending Kido since he turned 1, and from the beginning, we have felt that he is very happy going to nursery. What we like most about Kido Battersea is their commitment to transparency and collaboration with families. Being able to enter the room at any time (for example,
when you pick up your child) and see how the teachers interact with the children, in a natural and friendly environment, gives us confidence and relief. They keep you constantly updated on how your child is doing, which I find important because it helps keep the child's progress aligned between the nursery and home. The staff are lovely, and you can see how passionate they are about caring for the children. The management team does many activities to involve families, allowing us to get to know the teachers and other parents better. We are very happy with our decision to send our son to Kido, and we highly recommend it.

We are extremely happy with the nursery. It took our daughter a few weeks to settle but all staff including management were super supportive. Our daughter now runs in and waves us off. Her development has been incredible from walking, communicating, etc.. The nursery staff are all so friendly and caring,
it has a really family feel which makes the overall experience amazing.

I have been sending my twins to this nursery since 2023, and I couldn't be happier with our experience. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. The curriculum is well thought out and provides a balance of play-based learning and structured activities. I am constantly amazed by how much they have
learned and grown since starting at this nursery.
The staff are always available to answer any questions or concerns I may have, and they provide regular updates on my children's progress. But above all, what truly makes this nursery special is the genuine care the staff have for the children. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my children are in such good hands when I am not there.
Overall, I could not be happier with this nursery and the care they receive here. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing and educational environment for their children. Thank you to the staff for all that you do to make this nursery a wonderful place for children to grow and thrive.

We chose Kido Battersea because of the location and stayed because of the teachers working there. My son is looked after and cared for, he has enjoyed every day there and is making great friends. The warmth of his key worker towards him made me leave nursery every day feeling at ease. The venue is nice
and clean and he enjoys a lot the garden. I would highly recommend Kido Battersea!

I’ve recently moved my daughter here from another nursery and she is unbelievably happy. The staff are really kind and we’ve seen her progress really quickly from a developmental standpoint since joining. She is constantly smiling as a result of the kind teachers and has settled in really well. Couldn’t
be happier.

My son has been attending for a year and we have had only good experiences with Kido. The staff are warm, friendly, and enthusiastic, and the facilities are new and well-maintained. I feel that my son is very safe and provided for while he is attending and he looks forward to each morning. When he is

The team at Kido Battersea are excellent. They are kind, caring and nurturing. Every month, I can see such jumps in my daughter’s development and it is wonderful to see.
You can clearly see the staff are picked very carefully and are well trained.
Another big plus for us is the nursery is always
clean - even with all the mess babies, toddlers and children make.
I would recommend Kido to any prospective parent.

Kido Battersea was the closest location to us and I was so happy with the location, quality, introduction and settling in sessions that occurred in July 2023. As the nursery is one of the newer locations, the classes aren't full just yet and even when they will be, the amount of children to carers is
amazing and I feel my daughter is looked after, cared for and understood. My partner and I have a wonderful relationship with our daughter's key worker, as well as the other carers in both her room and others. The venue is always clean, the facilities great and the food choices are wonderful considering I find it hard to figure out what to give my baby! I really love the updates on the app and look forward to seeing what my daughter gets up to every day. I would highly recommend Kido Battersea.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.902)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.902) out of 10 for Kido Battersea 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.902 for Kido Battersea is calculated as follows: ( (197 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.902
  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 Battersea is based on 18 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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 18 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.
