She doesn't want to leave. My little ones started going here a month ago. Cue tears on arrival and total separation anxiety, fast forward 4 weeks and she loves it. The staff are brilliant, clearly enjoy and learn each child and their personal abilities. There are lots of smiles and little one has plenty
to keep her engaged. They also, support my preference for cloth nappies. Great nursery run by warm and fun staff.

My child has settled very well and loves the nursery. This is all because of the wonderful staff and care that is given to the children. She looks forward to going to nursery. All the activities she does are well planned to help with development. Her confidence has increased. I would highly recommend
this nursery to any parent or carer. Thank you.

We have our two children at Abington Park Day Nursery and very are happy with it. The staff are caring, loving and really interested in the children. The office staff are competent and respond quickly to queries.
Both of my children enjoy coming to the nursery and have formed deep relationships with
their key workers. Tapestry is regularly updated with progress and we are actively encouraged to contribute and adopt an aligned approach to teaching the kids key things (for example we are working on boundary setting with our 13 month old, in conjunction with his key worker). I feel reassured when I leave my children there, and wouldn't want to put them anywhere else.

Abington Park Day Nursery has had its ups and downs but since the manager at the nursery has taken over, things have improved considerably. The staff listen to the parents/guardians of the children and try to improve on anything suggested. The building is going through a big renovation at the moment
and is being updated. It is going well from what I can see and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished result. I would like to say a special thank you to the staff as they have been amazing.

My daughter loves Abington Park nursery and that’s the most important thing to us.


The staff that have looked after our daughter are all very caring, clearly love the job they do and enjoy having fun with the children.


She has learnt so much since she started and the team are really keen to develop

the children’s learning and abilities. As well as spending lots of time to chat and update us on our daughter's progress, they also share photos and summaries on their online tool for parents, it’s great to see what she gets up to during the day!


The manager is also very visible and often with the children and is open to listening to feedback and concerns.

I have one son who goes here and I had one daughter who previously attended.
Both have picked up so much.
The staff are always friendly and informative.
My children are always happy and have made some great friends in other children and staff.
I would highly recommend this nursery and believe
they are one of the best in Northamptonshire.

What a fantastic nursery, the staff are enthusiastic, caring and encourage development. Every day it seems that my children are trying new experiences. We get regular updates and monthly goals set. I have never had a single tear when dropping off the children. The meals provided have exceeded my expectations
and the staff encourage both my children to taste new things.

Since joining in October, we have noticed a tremendous difference in our son. Initially struggling to walk, a month with the nursery he was walking. Seeing regular updates and hearing how they were helping him really helped.


Since then, his speech and actions have also improved dramatically and I

put a lot of this down to the work from the nursery.


Initially reluctant to be left, my son quickly adjusted to the staff and seems to love his days there. The key worker initiative really helped, and you could truly see this on parents evening.


The Christmas Grotto was quite brilliant for both kids and parents, and clearly displayed the above and beyond attitude the workers have towards the kids.

I love the nursery and so does my son who has been there since he was 9 months old. He loves being out in the garden and doing lots of creative things on his days there. All the staff he’s been in contact with have been wonderful and we leave him there knowing with 100% confidence he will be ok and
as a parent that’s all you need. The only thing I feel it’s missing is the facility to check in on him online throughout the day as I personally would love to do that; but, the staff are more than happy for me to call as many times as I like which is great.

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.
