Since joining the nursery over a year ago, my child has come along and grown into a very clever little girl. She has learnt so much. The staff are very friendly and are very hardworking and they make sure all your needs as a parent and a child are met. The atmosphere is lovely and has a very relaxed
feel. The activities are amazing and they engage the children's attention to the maximum.

My daughter has only been at nursery a few months and loves it here. Every morning she will ask, " Am I going to my kangaroo nursery?". She loves all the staff and has to say bye to all of them in each room before she goes.

My child's experience at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte was amazing, she loved going in and seeing the staff and her friends. Staff members made a very big effort to make sure she was happy, always different activities out every day. I would always get good feedback at the end of her session. My
daughter was always clean and smart looking when I picked her up. She was always happy and content which made me feel confident in bringing her to nursery.

- Parents are kept up to date on child's experience during the day.
- Meals are well balanced and my son seems to like them.
- Nursery manager has been the most informed with any issues I have had. She is personable and truthful.
- Hand-overs could be better structured - staff need to be more engaged.

Kiddi Caru was my second choice of nursery for my son when I decided to move my son from a child-minder. Once I had been to the nursery and talked to the staff and manager, I knew that it is where I wanted to go. All staff are welcoming, friendly and have made my son so welcome.
After a few weeks I
could already see the difference as the teaching methods they use obviously agreed with him. Everyday my son comes home having learnt something new. Thank you Kiddi Caru Caldecotte for helping in my sons development.

Very well resourced, beautiful, well used outdoor areas. Lots of opportunities for children to experience the surrounding area (lake walks etc.)
Lots of staff changes in a short period was a little upsetting for our child.

While I have heard some negative feedback regarding the nursery, my family have not been affected too much. Staff attention can be an issue at times, but replacement staff have been great.
Staff working directly with my kids have been great and really spark my eldest's imagination.

I am working as a quality engineer, that is why I always think it is a place for improvement. The staff are friendly and respectful. My daughter goes there with pleasure and a smile on her face which makes me trust the personnel. When I first took her to the nursery, I specified what food I didn't want
for my daughter, from the menu (e.g. chocolate, sweets, juices from the market, pork) and the staff respected my request. I am very happy about the menu. I am pleased about the activities they do over the week - painting, building, playing with the water, with the sand, rocks, playing outside, swimming, bicycles ... I would highly recommend this nursery.

The nursery is fantastic. My son has had a bit of a delay with his speech and the girls have been amazing, giving my son lots of support and encouragement.
Also, the management have given lots of info, especially with a new nursery manager, she is brilliant!

My little boy started at Kiddi Caru when he was 12 months old, and when he was two and a half, his sister joined the nursery too (when she was 12 months old).
My children have flourished at the nursery and their development has astonished me and made me feel so proud of them.
The nursery has provided
a relaxed, supportive environment, which has encouraged and enabled my two children to develop into intelligent, outgoing, confident little people.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.868)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.868) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.969 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte is calculated as follows: ( (186 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.969

  • b) 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 4.899 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 89 number of registered child places is 17.8. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.8 = 0.899

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
