Our child is so happy and thriving at Kido. He loves his friends and teachers, they really understand who he is as a person. WE are so happy we brought him here. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery and have no doubt they have his best interests at heart every day.

I have been a parent at St Patrick's for over 6 years. My eldest is now at school and currently, my 2 daughters aged 4 years and 21 months attend 4 and 3 days respectively.


All 3 started around 5 months old, and from day 1, their every need and more has been met. The teachers go above and beyond

to make the children in their care feel safe and secure, whilst also providing exciting, creative and educational activities. They learn about the world around them, ranging from the environment and how they can help by recycling, through to exploring different scents and smells, making their own tea, learning about lots of cultural holidays and significant religious events such as Ramadan, and everything in between!


No 2 days are the same, with regular music sessions in Spanish, yoga classes and football to name but a few! In the outside area, the children can have fun on the slide and explore nature. Meals are home cooked by the wonderful chef!
I highly recommend this wonderful nursery!

We've had a wonderful experience with Kido St. Patrick's since our child started in the baby room in January. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and nurturing, which has made the transition smooth and reassuring. There's a fantastic variety of activities that keep the children engaged and help
them develop new skills. We've been really impressed with the warm and welcoming environment - it's clear the team genuinely cares about the children's well-being and happiness. Highly recommend!

Honestly, we couldn't be happier with Kiddo! It's not just a nursery, it's like a little family. The way they care for the babies is just so lovely, you can tell they genuinely adore them. Our little one is always beaming when we do a drop off.


What really sets Kiddo apart is all the amazing stuff

they do - way more than other places we looked at. For example, early language exposure is a brilliant addition, sparking curiosity. We've seen our child thrive socially and intellectually.


Kiddo's commitment to each child's well-being is evident, making it a standout choice. Highly recommend for a holistic and enriching start!

Good -
Really happy with the staff and engaging activities for the kids - my child loves going in and on some days, doesn't want to leave at the end of the day. There is a community feeling with the staff being super friendly and many parents knowing other kids.


What could be better -
- weekly

reports don't always have pictures of my child.
Storage space for keeping strollers is tiny and not well organized. At the end of the day, many strollers are lying on top of each other making it time consuming and also damages the strollers

We started my daughter at Kido when she was 9 months old, so that I could start my master's degree. My anxieties were quickly quelled by how well she settled in and was embraced by the staff. Now, she can hardly wait to get out the door in the morning, and she is visibly excited every day when I drop
her off. Developmentally, she has thrived through the incredible variety of activities, interaction with other children, and loving support from her teachers. We love Kido so much, and we are so grateful for my daughter's time there.

Leaving your child in someone else's care is difficult so seeing him excited to be dropped off every morning is a testament to the genuine care the staff here give. They have many initiatives to promote each child's culture and have staff that encourage our bilingual son's language development. There
are always fun relevant activities planned as part of the curriculum and everything is well communicated to parents ahead of time including updates as to meals, naps and regular photos.

Kido St. Patrick's have played a key role in developing our daughter into the bright young girl she is today and I can see the same positive effect the nursery is having on our son. I can speak on the activities, the facilities and many other outstanding parts of the nursery but I want to highlight
the genuine care provided by the staff, both new and old. I get the sense that they give their best every day and really care about their work in nurturing the kids. We couldn't ask for much more!

Kido St Patrick's provided incredible care and unmatched education to my son. The staff's dedication played a crucial role in his development.
From teaching essential skills to nurturing an interest in 3 languages to fostering compassion, his horizons were surely broadened at nursery.
The app is amazing,
providing detailed updates. The only area where I see a scope for improvement is the lack of outings.

Our daughter started at St Patrick's a year ago. It was amazing how fast our 2 years old settled in. She adopted and loved her key worker and the wider team from day 1. Our daughter always comes home with a big smile telling us all the great things she did or they did for her. Recently we told them
about her French favorite song and they played it for her. She was over the moon and talked about it for days! She also regularly brings home some very beautiful artwork. As parents, we feel that the team of St Patrick's is on top of everything. They communicate extremely well and are friendly, professional and thoughtful. They never hesitated to try to help us with personal challenges when they could. The experience of St Patrick's doesn't stop at their door, our daughter took a little teddy on holiday and has brought books home. They organise events for parents to meet the team and other parents during which the kids are proud to show us around. I strongly recommend this nursery, you won't be disappointed.

I toured nurseries in the area when I was pregnant and selected a spot a St. Patrick's knowing I would have to take my 6-month-old there at the end of my maternity leave. Even though as an expectant first-time mother I didn't know what to look for, enrolling my son there was, in retrospect, an incredible
decision. Both the baby room lead and my son's key worker were key in ensuring a smooth transition into nursery. My son was able to form a really meaningful attachment to his key worker, which left me in peace knowing that if he were ever upset or in need of anything, he would have her to rely on. I appreciate that they replicate the routine we had at home, and partnered with me in tweaking the routine as his needs evolved. Their curriculum seems really well thought out and my son finds it stimulating. He has truly thrived since joining. The team at St. Patrick's has my full trust and I recommend them without hesitation.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.700)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.700) out of 10 for Kido St Patrick's is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.825 for Kido St Patrick's is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.825

  • 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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kido St Patrick's is based on 14 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.875

  • 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.
