I now have my second child at Kiddi Caru, having already watched my oldest daughter start at 9 months and then graduate this September and start school. I couldn't ask for anymore from the nursery. Every member of staff is supportive and gives/has given my children what they need whether that is additional
resources for development, emotional support or brilliant fun! As a family we feel part of the nursery family, which is very special.

We have used Kiddi Caru Northampton (Wellingborough Road) for both of our daughters and the service and care has been outstanding. Our 2nd daughter has been there since she was 11 months old and has enjoyed every room and her learning is progressing very well with the support of all nursery staff there.
Thank
you for the continued, outstanding teaching, support, and service to our family!

Caring and friendly staff, my 2.5-year-old child goes in happy and comes out happy and has done so since joining at age 1. I feel there is genuine interest in his well-being and progress through his milestones. He is kept occupied and entertained throughout the day as there is plenty of variety of activity
in the room/outings to the garden, and I am sure he feels safe and cared for. Staff and management have gone the extra mile to help me with reaching certain targets for his speech development in and outside of the nursery, making extra observations, and I feel the nursery is as flexible and accommodating as it can be if I've needed extra days at short notice. The app is helpful for info about food/toileting hand in hand with in-person handovers which I appreciate. I find parking outside no problem, handy location.

Very pleased with this nursery, our child has been in two different rooms to date and the staff in both rooms have been exceptional.
She is always happy to go in and has bonded with a number of staff there.
The rooms offer a lot of variety for the children and I feel my child is safe and well looked
after.
She always comes home happy.
The management have been very supportive with any questions we have had and it feels like everyone there really cares.
Am very pleased to have our child attend this nursery.

My daughter has loved going here, she has bonded with different members of staff and is always excited to go in and see not just her friends but her favourite staff members. They have really got to know her and have encouraged her with activities she enjoys as well as helping her develop the skills
she needs for a good start to primary school.
Glad to have found this nursery, would definitely recommend it from my experience. Thank you to everyone at Kiddi Caru Abington.

My daughter grew and learnt a lot in this place. She was very happy here. She had her first speech here. She began to mingle with other kids and found her happy space. She sought and found comfort with her teachers. If I have more children I would want them to start here.

I love the nursery personally, everyone is so nice and supportive when it comes to anything, also it's a very secure safeguarding place. Whenever I have some sort of concerns, there's always someone to listen to them regardless of what they may be when it comes to my little one. Also, they are wonderful
with referrals to other institutions when it comes to supporting my little one.

We have had really positive experiences with the nursery and found the staff have always put the children first. The team all really care about each child and have their best interests in mind. If I have ever had any questions staff and the manager have always answered them and given guidance.
I think
nursery has supported my little one to develop his skills and learning immensely!

All the staff at the nursery are amazing and so caring to both my children that go there. From the moment my eldest started right up until now, they've taken us in and treated us like family and have supported us through some hard situations. Can't wait to enrol my third this July/August!

Deeply unhappy that the management of this nursery is unprofessional, cares more about money than the children, do not promote breastfeeding whatsoever after the age of two! Actually, go as far as stating a mother should have stopped breastfeeding when a child reaches the age of two.
They do not follow
correct complaints procedures and I would never recommend this nursery to any breastfeeding mother.

My son has been at this nursery since he was 14 months old and is now nearly three. His development has been incredible, and his experience at this nursery has been nothing but positive. As a first-time mum, it was daunting knowing I’d be leaving him to go to work; however, the staff, app updates and
nature of the nursery supported this change, and knowing he loves attending and doesn’t look back once the door is open is so heartwarming. Not only that, the things he is learning and doing there are invaluable to his progression. We look forward to his little sister starting there in the next few weeks.

Through the process of choosing a nursery for my little girl now going here, the staff have been incredibly supportive, helpful and understanding, and as a first-time mother, you want to make sure your child is going to the best place, and for us this was it.

Kiddi Caru Abington Park is an excellent nursery. We moved my son from another nursery due to lack of care. It is the best decision we ever made regarding our son, who we felt was behind his peers at the time. The fantastic nursery setting, along with the amazing staff providing excellent care, is what
any parent would want when they leave their child at the nursery. From the moment we first met the manager at the nursery, we knew we were at the right place. She put our fears at rest and assured us of the quality of care. What I most like about the nursery is that so far I have dealt with so many members of the staff and every single one of them has been excellent. I would praise them all for their dedication and hard work. They actually care about my child and are aware of the issues when you raise them. I know that my son is in good hands and I no longer need to worry (which I did a lot of before). We'll continue to stay with them as long as they will have us. Thank you all-we cannot appreciate you guys enough!

Had to take my son out, he was there for 4 months and would not settle, screaming and shouting when we dropped him off, standing outside in the rain waiting 10-15 minutes for them to collect our son.
When we collected our son he wasn’t wearing a nappy as they didn’t put one on him after they told us
earlier that he had loose bowels though out the day.
Had cuts and bruises and when we collected him and they never notified us about them on handover as I had to point out to them why he had a cut on his face and no accident form was filled out.
We mentioned to the staff multiple times about these issues but nothing was resolved.
I wouldn’t recommend you sending your children to this nursery.

My son has been coming to Kiddi Caru Day Nursery for a year now. He looks very happy when I drop him off in the morning and when I pick him up. He seems to learn lots of things here because I can see him at home when he surprises me with new things that I have never shown him before. I love the parent's
evening where we discuss if I have any concerns about my son so the staff can improve it and work more on these needs with my son. Last but not least, I do appreciate that is a clean nursery and I can tell this was the first thing I have checked when I have visited the nursery on the open day.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.720)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.720) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Abington Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 29 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 4.720 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Northampton, Abington Park is calculated as follows: ( (298 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 346 Ratings = 4.72

  • 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, Abington Park 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.
