Can't speak highly enough of the people at this nursery. It's universal too - obviously a positive culture is established and good example set by the leadership. Our son has some special needs and the staff care so obviously about his progress and well-being. They welcomed external support and embraced
the opportunity to extend their knowledge as a result, we feel safe and confident, and supported. We always speak highly of the team at Kiddi Caru.

My son has been attending Kiddi Caru Nursery at Grange Park, Northampton since May 2015 when he was 15 months old. The nursery staff was and still is the best that I could imagine and wish for my child. He's there full time during the week and the care and attention he is given is extraordinary. Their
development plan is tailored for every child and my son has been nothing but striving in his steps as a toddler and now as a 2.5 year old. I know that a lot of this is due to the expertise in the field that the nursery staff have got behind their belt. A lot needs to be said about the facilities - rooms are bright and colorful, spacious and light. The garden is a great and safe place for any child to play. My child cannot wait to go there every morning to meet with his friends and play.

We have two children who have been cared for by Kiddi Caru. We have always been extremely pleased with the care the children receive and how the nursery have encouraged their development. Our eldest has a diagnosis of autism which we received while he was at the nursery. The nursery have gone above
and beyond to support us all during this difficult time. Our son has flourished with the love and individual support he has received and he has undoubtedly benefited greatly from being at Kiddi Caru. We couldn't have asked for more. It's been the perfect setting for our children and we will be very sad to say goodbye!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.790)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.790) 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.790 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Grange Park is calculated as follows: ( (321 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 396 Ratings = 4.79

  • 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 33 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 33 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.
