The staff has been wonderful with my son. They have helped him develop his speech and gain confidence. He is always very happy to go. The staff also communicates very well with the family letting us know what he needs to support with. We are also able to track his progress through the app and monthly
reports from his key worker. It is a very nurturing environment.

We are so happy to have chosen Kido Clerkenwell for our son. He started when he was 10 months old. I was quite worried about the adaptation because it was the first time I had left him since he was born. But everything went wonderfully well. The staff were so understanding, following our son's habits
at the start. He adapted very quickly to his new environment. They regularly give us news of how the day went, send us photos and videos thanks to the application on which we can follow everything, which is incredible! The garden is a huge asset! There are many activities on offer (Spanish lessons, painting, cooking lessons, etc.) and our son loves the meals that are offered. Our son really feels at home at Kido. He is very close to the staff who take great care of him. Every day he can't wait to go back to the nursery. Thank you to the entire Kido Clerkenwell team.

My son enjoys his time at nursery so much so all I get is a wave goodbye and runs in eager to start his day! Kido staff have set him up with a great indoor and outdoor routine that has developed his skills. Manager and staff have been fantastic and supportive since the start and can't thank them enough.
I appreciate the daily update after pick up on how his day was and through the parent app. I'm so glad I found this nursery.

We love Kido Clerkenwell. I was nervous about leaving my baby at first but I feel so happy knowing he's been taken really good care of. I love that staff always try to get the kids outside and the nursery organises a lot of activities e.g. animal visits and a bouncy castle. My favourite thing though
is how caring the staff are. I really feel like they're a lovely team and they seem to genuinely like my son so I feel very grateful.

Our experience with Kido Clerkenwell has been overwhelmingly positive since our daughter started when she was two. The team is passionate, well-prepared, and genuinely caring. They have played a significant role in our daughter's remarkable development, both socially and cognitively, far exceeding our
expectations in terms of support.
The nursery boasts a large, well-equipped outdoor area that the children enjoy throughout the year. This space includes a mud kitchen, vegetable garden, and plenty of climbing equipment, all of which contribute to a rich and varied play experience.


The feedback we received on our daughter's progress has been thorough and insightful, and any questions we had have been promptly addressed by the attentive management team and teachers.


We highly recommend Kido Clerkenwell to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their child. We feel incredibly confident and happy with the care and education our daughter received here.

We have been sending our daughter to Kido since September 2020. We are very happy with the nursery and much appreciate the bespoke support, interest, kindness and care shown to us and our child over the years. Management and teachers are rapidly responsive to any questions and feedback on our daughter's
progress is tailored and thorough. We have never deliberately "taught" her anything and she is clearly thriving and accruing knowledge and ability across the very varied curriculum offered by Kido. The effort, thought and preparation of materials for activities is of a very high standard and the focus on values of kindness and inclusion is particularly notable. Meals are healthy, no desserts and no juice which we welcome. Outside play is great with a huge area including mud kitchen, veg patch, and climbing equipment. Most importantly the teachers are very caring and genuine and our daughter has formed strong attachments. I am very confident and happy leaving my child in the care of Kido.

My son has been very happy at Kido Clerkenwell. Since starting he has been supported with each transitional stage in his development and I have seen him flourish into a happy, confident and engaging little boy. The staff regularly update the app so I’m aware of his meals, naps and nappy changes so when
I come to collect him I’m up to date with how his day has been. The weekly round-ups of the themes and activities along with photos are always a joy to read along with monthly updates on my son's progress as assessed alongside the early years framework. Overall, I am very happy with Kido Clerkenwell and would very much recommend it.

We had the most positive experience at Kido Clerkenwell. The team is passionate, prepared and caring. Our daughter's development of both social and cognitive skills have exceeded our expectations and we felt she was supported throughout the journey exactly when and as needed. She created very strong
bonds with staff and other kids, which was lovely to see. At 2.5 years of age she has a rich English vocabulary despite we don't speak any English at home. The nursery has a large, well equipped outdoor area, which is widely used throughout the year. We very highly recommend Kido Clerkenwell.

The team at Kido Clerkenwell is amazing. From my first interaction with the Parent Relationship Manager, I knew this school was for my child. The kindness and patience shown from everyone is comforting. My child entered at 2 and a half years old not knowing a word of English and now (4 months later)
can express himself with ease. I am grateful for the support given to me and my family since day one and recommend Kido Clerkenwell to any parent who is looking for a kind, nurturing, and stimulating nursery for their children.

I'm so happy to have found such an amazing nursery for my little one. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable and maintain the children's best interests at the forefront of all their programmes and decisions. They're also quick to react and find solutions when items are raised by the parents.
You can tell they spend a lot of effort developing their annual programme and provide decent size progress reports for the development of your child. My little one was never bored at this nursery and was always eager to tell me all he had accomplished during the day. In all this setting exceeded my expectations and my little one formed incredible attachments with many of the staff, most importantly his key person. The graduation play at the end of their time at nursery was a joy to watch.

Kido is an outstanding nursery, my daughter has been attending their baby room since she was 5 and a half months old! Nearly a year has gone by and she has progressed amazingly, she reaches all her milestones, loves all the staff in her room, loves coming into nursery and most importantly, her social
skills are great for a 16-month-old!
It has been great seeing how well she is doing and will continue on to preschool at Kido Clerkenwell. Definitely recommend!

Our 18-month-old loves his days in the Discoverers room at Kido. We were nervous to send him to nursery when he was 10 months old, but there's such a warm, nurturing atmosphere here that our fears were quickly put to rest. Our son is clearly thriving. His key workers are kind, caring and enthusiastic.
We love how much time he spends outdoors in the babies' dedicated play area, which has everything a toddler could wish for - bikes, balls, soft play, picnic blankets, water games etc. His confidence has grown massively and we're happy to see him developing both social and cognitive skills.

Kido Clerkenwell is an amazing nursery. We have been so lucky to find this place for our baby daughter. As first-time parents, we were scared about leaving our daughter when she was 10 months old but we cannot recommend enough this place for the amazing teacher and the entire staff. Communication works
perfectly which makes everything smoother and everybody is really caring about babies and toddlers. I never picked up or left my daughter without seeing a smile on her face and I can see that also the other kids are always happy. This is invaluable and it shows how the ambience is genuinely healthy and the best place for a baby and toddler to grow up.
Thank you to the amazing Discoverers room team!

Our daughter has been at Kido since she was 11 months old, moving through from Discoverers to Pathfinders (Pre-school room). We are so happy with Kido: they communicate well with parents, have kind and nurturing teachers, excellent room leaders and many learning opportunities. I feel my daughter has

Our baby daughter has been lucky to be part of the discoverer's room since she was 4 months old.
She always had loving, caring and experienced care. It is such a relief to be able to leave your baby at nursery worry free. She has the biggest smile when she sees her key holder in the morning. It really
is priceless.
She has also grown so much and so quickly through all the activities they do daily.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.993)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.993) out of 10 for Kido Clerkenwell is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.993 for Kido Clerkenwell is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.993

  • 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 Kido Clerkenwell is based on 12 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 12 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.
