Our daughter has been at this nursery for just over a year now and really loves it. As a ‘lockdown baby’ she took a while to transition to being away from us. The staff were so so patient and supportive through the process, offering lots of extra settling in sessions and keeping us updated during her
first full days so that we knew how she was getting on. Our daughter has formed really good bonds with both of her key workers and other staff in her rooms and has gained a huge amount of confidence over the last year. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the nursery offers opportunities to ‘stay and play’ which we have really enjoyed - getting to see first hand how much fun she has there. The communication from the management is clear and helpful, and we have already recommended this nursery to family and friends.

My son is in pre-school. All usual staff in preschool left so by the day of the parents' evening there was none from pre-school to give a review of our son. Joke! Understaffed, asked to keep my children home due to staffing! Also, have a baby in the baby room. This happened twice in 3 weeks and the
first time on my very first day back to work from maternity leave. I'm disgusted by what you perceive to be a great nursery! I am finishing my son 2 months early this summer before he starts school and will be relocating my baby. This nursery has gone down in the past 5 years, with staffing resources and no support for the staff who have been there for ages and trying their best when you pay minimum wage. What is this £30 supplement fee each week for pre-school whether your child attends 1 day or 5?. Other nurseries charge per day.

Couldn’t be happier with our daughter attending Kiddi Caru in Market Harborough. Our daughter loves going and is always very excited on the days she goes. The team in the Bluebells room are wonderful and make us feel totally at ease leaving our daughter.

This is a great nursery for families with working parents. It is very conveniently located, a designated car park for easy drop off and collection and good hours. My little one has formed many great relationships with the staff there and has been encouraged to make friends with different children. The
management staff have shown sensitivity to specific requirements and were great at discussing ideas of how to address them. Where issues were raised, they were dealt with seriously and promptly. Overall, this is a great place for little ones and I'd recommend.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for the last year and a half. She loves going to nursery as each room has provided a range of exciting activities, with something different to do each day. Staff members have been excellent in encouraging my daughter to develop her independence from a young
age and her language and physical skills have blossomed in the last year. The staff have all be very friendly, welcoming and take the time to discuss your child each day upon drop off and collection. The nursery uses an online system to post photos and updates on what your child has been doing, which also allows you to make comments on the information provided and update them on what your child has been doing too. This has been a useful system to stay in touch in recent months. The nursery has also been particularly informative about the systems they have put in place to keep the children safe during the current Covid-19 pandemic.

A friendly, welcoming place with a safe and positive feel.
The staff are attentive and helpful.
The daily menu is healthy, varied and tasty.
Students are split into ability groups and effort is made to stretch children in numeracy and literacy. Would welcome further phonics work on one to one level.

My little boy has been attending Kiddi Caru for just over a year. He loves it there. His language, independence and other skills have developed quickly due to the excellent care, staff, and the huge variation of activities and the way he is allowed to choose what he wants to do etc. I would definitely
recommend to other parents.

My son started here at 11 months (during the middle of the pandemic) and is so settled and happy. He always walks in with a smile and has an amazing day. He is also learning to sign and just seems to get so much out of his time there. He loves it and loves all of the staff. We couldn’t ask for a better
nursery.

My child started at Kiddi Caru from 9 months old and, despite us being in the middle of a national pandemic, we could not have felt happier with the care she has received. My child always enters nursery with a smile on her face and that is down to the positive relationships she has formed with the staff
and the opportunities she has been provided with. Her development has flourished and her confidence has grown tremendously. The feedback we are given at the end of each day and through Tapestry is very informative and has been a real support when we are currently not able to enter the nursery as parents. The staff here clearly understand, respect and truly care for each child. Thank you.

Since being taken over by Kiddi Karu the nursery hasn’t been the same. The rooms downstairs are much bigger but there are large age groups mixed together which before isn’t what they had. The age split and focus on development for specific ages was why I originally picked the nursery. The personal touch
has been lost and the hours offered are not flexible for family life especially with shift work. Since my child now attends two different nursery settings I can see the downfalls of this nursery where I could not before. The staff in the baby room have helped my child settle in massively and bar some I have no complaints. I think the preschool isn’t good enough and I don’t get enough feedback digitally with what my child has done in the day. My child tells me they have done painting and drawing and yet no pictures are sent home which upsets them. I have spoken to several parents now and all have said they have concerns about the nursery, some say they are looking for an alternative setting.

When my daughter first started here still was very unsure and nervous but now she has been going for nearly 5 months and she loves it! She is always excited to go. The facilities are great and the staff are lovely and helpful. My daughter does come home from nursery saying she is hungry a lot of the
time which suggests to me to portion sizes are small. However, this might be that she doesn’t always eat everything given to her. Overall I am very happy with the service provided for my daughter.

My children have been really happy at Kiddi Caru ever since they started. All the staff have been lovely, caring and very welcoming. Their indoor rooms are nice, they have a great selection of toys and there are good sized outdoor spaces which are used regularly. The activities the children do seem
like good fun as well as being good learning activities. Learning and development is encouraged and monitored without being intrusive to the children playing. The children seem to like the food as well and nap happily. There is good feedback through daily reports from staff, online access to pictures and observations as well as parents evenings. All-round great for our family.

actions have been taken promptly to rectify things.

My daughter has been going to this nursery since February 2019 and my son since September 2019. I have nothing but praise for the wonderful staff there who nurture them emotionally and development-wise and genuinely care about the children. My daughter loves nursery and has really bonded with her
keyworkers (and all the staff) in both rooms that she has been in so far. My son found it hard to settle at first but the staff have been so patient and lovely with him and he is now full of smiles when I drop him off. The children are given lots of time outdoors (weather permitting) which both of mine relish and they are always kept entertained with a variety of interesting activities. The meals they offer are very balanced and so I can pick them up after work knowing they have both been entertained all day and well-fed and that is a great feeling!

A very well organised and professionally run nursery; that provides fantastic development with our children. All staff are a credit to the nursery and always willing to talk and update you on any activities and progress. The establishment is very clean and tidy compared to every other nursery within

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Market Harborough is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.873 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Market Harborough is calculated as follows: ( (287 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 323 Ratings = 4.873

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Market Harborough is based on 27 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 27 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
