Head Start have been amazing with my son. He loves it there so much and has become so much more independent since starting a year ago. He does 3 sessions a week but really wants to do more and doesn’t want to come home! All the staff are brilliant and very knowledgeable, they can always tell me how
much he’s eaten and what he’s been up to that day! Highly recommend!

My son has attended Head Start Day Nursery since he was 18 months old (now 3.5years).
The staff have been great with him and he's built really good relationships with the staff.
The record book they keep on his progress and activities is great to see - I really think they do an amazing job and thank
you for taking care of my son.

My two children love attending nursery. My eldest really looks forward to her session, and loves telling us about it afterwards. My youngest isn't talking yet, but always goes willingly and seems very happy.

Good nursery offering a high standard of care and a strong emphasis on education and activity. Our children got involved in a wide range of fun arts and crafts and loved the outdoor play space. We feel it offers a solid preparation for starting school.

Head Start is amazing! my two children are so happy and settled there. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and have been great with my son's fussy eating and on going toilet training. I am so glad we chose Head Start for out children and can't praise them highly enough.

This is the beginning of my daughter's last year at Head Start. She has been at this nursery full time since she was six months old. The building is lovely and traditional and covered in colourful seasonal displays of the children's work and photographs of what they have been getting up to. They
get to play out in the large enclosed garden whenever possible which is a great facility to have as well as play with indoor toys, books and iPads. I cannot praise the staff here enough for their commitment, enthusiasm and professionalism; My daughter learns new things every day and comes home full of tales about things she has done at nursery that she has loved (reading, cooking, sports, arts and crafts, music but most importantly playing!). The thing we like best (and what made us choose this nursery in the first place!) is that the staff really care and take the time to get to know the children (and not just the ones in their immediate care but all the kids) my daughter is looked after by people who have known her since she was a baby and who are constant positive figures in her life. The team seem to genuinely love kids and whilst they will quickly address any disciplinary issues they are also equally as quick to praise a child who has done well and give affection to a child who is upset. I have recommended Head Start to many local parents and my daughter has made some great friends here. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a home away from home atmosphere where their child is cared for as an individual.

Both of my children have attended this nursery and have always been very happy here. The staff are very friendly and supportive and provide a stimulating learning environment for the children. The outside area is great for the children to explore and learn within. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

I have had my 1st Child with the nursery since 2012 and have continued to have my 3rd child in the nursery (inclusive of my 2nd who is currently still at the nursery) and very happy with many aspects and the staff as well as my children's developments. Where there have been areas of development this
has been highlighted and managed through ourselves and the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.607)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.607) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Daventry is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.607 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Daventry is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.607

  • 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 Daventry 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 61 number of registered child places is 12.2, which has been reached with 14 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.
