Everyone at the nursery from the reception to the staff in the personalised rooms is super friendly and are always on hand to help with any questions you may have. The teachers have helped my little one to settle in and find her feet here at nursery and I feel comfortable to leave her, knowing that
she is in safe hands. They have really helped to develop my daughter's speech and confidence.

This is an exceptional nursery where the staff have gone above and beyond to support my child and myself as a parent returning to work. I would always recommend this nursery as I have had an outstanding experience with them to date. My child although very small loves the nursery and has built an incredible
bond with the staff there. I have no mum guilt when leaving my child due to the staff and I will always be thankful for this.

My children have attended Kiddi Caru Nursery at Grange Park for the past 4 years and they all love it here! They are well cared for and enjoy the open space, sensory room and other activities. The staff are brilliant and take great care to look after the children and aid their learning and development.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the nursery to other parents.

I have been using Kiddi Caru Northampton for seven years now. Currently, my second daughter is there and is due to leave at the end of this year. I feel sad to say that as Kiddi Caru has been a big part of my life and taught me a lot about parenthood. I would highly recommend the place. My girls have
loved it from day one and my eldest still loves going back and seeing everyone. The staff are attentive, caring and so friendly. They make the day fun with lots of different activities and good onsite cooked meals.

As a family, we couldn't be happier with having our son at Kiddi Caru! They take all health requirements seriously and have continued to support my son's needs without making him feel left out in any way. He loves all the staff and we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery in the area!

Excellent nursery overall. My two children have both been very happy there from day one. Well structured preparation at pre-school means you can really see your children developing the skills needed for school in a caring environment.

Professional and take good care of my little one. He has been there since he was nine months and he will soon turn 3. They inform me every day of what he has been up to. Excellent standards set by this nursery. Well worth the money.

We love Kiddi Caru! My one year old has adapted very well since the first day and it was no wonder. The staff is very friendly and very helpful and they always have a smile on their face, even on a Friday at 6pm.

I feel overall happy to send my child to the nursery but I feel the environment/surrounding could be vastly improved, as the place looks very tired and does not a give a good first impression.


This I feel does help stimulate the child's enthusiasm and wanting to learn.

Our little one settled from Day 1 and this was down simply to the individual relationships the primary carers had with the children and subsequent positive engagement and communication with parents from key carers (i.e. me and my wife). We've never experienced any problems and our little one will have
been here for over 3 years come September 2018 before she leaves to start school. She misses nursery on a 2 week holiday, so not sure how it'll sink in when she moves to school, but she will have been well prepared...

As a first-time mum, it was a difficult decision picking a nursery when returning to work - I visited Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton and immediately knew it was the one for us! My daughter absolutely loves it there; the staff are friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and very good with all the children.
The sensory room and outdoor facilities are great and there are always a wide range of activities and toys in the rooms, as well as relevant themed days and other planned activities such as sing and sign and language lessons.


Its total peace of mind for me that my daughter is in good hands when I'm busy at work!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.802)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.802) 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.802 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Grange Park is calculated as follows: ( (345 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 420 Ratings = 4.802

  • 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 35 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 35 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.
