My child is always so happy to go and start the day with some breakfast. The staff have been fantastic with his special meals and care plan. We are so happy with everything they do. The parent app is fantastic, giving a full run down of his day. Special thanks to two members of staff, in particular,
they seem to just know when an extra cuddle or distraction is needed.

Brilliant staff. My son has been going since he was 9 months, he's now 2 years old now and always happy there. I can see how the care worker genuinely cares for him.
My eldest went here too and the staff were great, potty trained him and helped get him out of his shell - he was quite shy.

My daughter started at the nursery age 1, and has just left to start school at age 4, in that time I have not once had any issues with this amazing nursery! The staff know all the kids so well, they are friendly and so kind. My daughter has done so well whilst being in their care. I recommend to anyone

My little boy's been attending Kiddi Caru Grange Park since the beginning of the year. He's settled in really well into baby room and always smiles when he sees the building. The girls in the baby room do a fantastic job of caring for all the children. I feel at ease leaving him knowing he will be well
looked after and that he will have lots of fun.

The staff at Kiddi Caru are exceptional. From the chefs to the office, everyone is friendly and happy and nothing is too much for them. Our daughter adores everyone and is so happy. She is thriving and becoming such a clever and independent little person and a huge portion of that I credit to the wonderful
team at Kiddi Caru Grange Park.
From the moment we walked into Kiddi Caru we knew it was the place for us. Throughout these unprecedented times the staff have been nothing short of amazing and I am so grateful to each and every one of them for continuing to provide a safe and fun environment for my child.

Kiddi Caru has been amazing for my daughter. She always goes in with a smile on her face and gets excited to go and see everyone. I do believe that she has made a great impression on the people that she is around too.
If you can afford to send your child, you definitely should.
The only struggle
we have found is with the cost of sending her there.

Both myself and my husband have been extremely happy with the care that our son has received at Kiddi Caru Grange Park over the last 4 years. The staff in all the rooms have been very caring towards our son and very supportive to us as first-time parents. Our son is excited to go to nursery and runs
towards the building as soon as he gets out of the car and knows that all the office staff will say hello to him in the morning. We would definitely recommend Kiddi Caru Grange park to all of our friends .

I cannot recommend this nursery enough! My child has additional needs and the teachers are absolutely amazing with him. He loves going in and always has a great time. I especially like the feedback I get from his teacher when I collect him.
They have put all they can in place to keep the children
safe from Covid-19.
Everyone is so friendly here and all children come out happy.

As a first-time mum, the decision to choose this nursery was an easy one. The baby room staff are so reassuring and caring. They look after my little boy so fantastically. I am happy to leave him, knowing he's going to get the best care and be in a great learning environment to help his development

My daughter started at the beginning of the year. Over the past eight months, I cannot praise the nursery enough. The girls in the baby room are very caring and made leaving her with them so much easier. In there, she started to learn new signs to help her communicate and this has continued since moving
into her new room recently. She is a little explorer and loves being out in the garden, so this nursery is just right as they have a lovely big garden for her to let off some energy in. All the staff around the nursery are polite and greet my daughter with a 'Hello' and engage with her on the way into her room. She absolutely loves nursery and I’m very happy I chose this one for my daughter.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

We have been very happy with the level of care our daughter has at Kiddi Caru Northampton.
The rooms and garden area are of a generous size with lots for the children to do.
The food is varied and healthy. Our preferences are also catered for.
Our daughter is very happy attending nursery and has
made some good little friends.
They are always keen to discuss her progress and are happy to undertake ad-hoc parents evenings at our request.
What I would like to see more of is an understanding of what she has learnt each day - i.e. what writing/drawing she has done on her own, what numbers/shapes she has learnt, what sounds she has learnt.

Reply from Rosie Cartwright, Marketing Assistant at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Grange Park

Thank you for recognising how essential well-qualified, enthusiastic staff are required to delivering outstanding childcare to progress your little one’s continuous learning. We will pass your kind feedback on to our team at Northampton.


When you have a moment, please ask the nursery management team how they can inform you of your child’s day; we have available a daily sheet, day book and also the development folders which are readily available to view at any time and highlights all the education and learning activities that have taken place.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.797)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.797) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Grange Park 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 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.797 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Grange Park is calculated as follows: ( (333 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 408 Ratings = 4.797

  • 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 Northampton, Grange Park is based on 34 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 118 number of registered child places is 23.6, which has been reached with 34 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.
