My older little one has been to seven different nurseries because we were relocating numerous times. So I feel I know what I am looking for in terms of a nursery for my younger little one. And when I found Safari Kid, it really ticked all the boxes for me - the serious attitude towards pedagogy, cleanliness,
facilities, quality of programs etc.
But above all that, what I found best about Safari Kid is the quality of the caregivers and teachers. Everyone was passionate about their job and treated it as more than a job. I can trust them completely to give their best to my child. I love it that it is a place where the kids and the staff feel very much at home and they truly work as a team. Sometimes the higher management that do not work on the ground and deal directly with the children and parents can feel rather aloof and unsympathetic, I often find that can be overlooked in light of quality of the direct caregivers.

I did find this nursery the most suitable for my baby. For me, it was important not just to tick the review box but to have an actually bright, well ventilated and full of light facilities. They have really nice facilities that have been run by nice and what is important, really responsible staff. My
baby is learning a lot in the days she attends and suprises us in evenings with dances and songs she have learned.

Our toddler has been attending nursery at Safari Kid Clerkenwell for a few months on a part-time basis. He is loving it there and throws himself into the arms of the staff (the ones he knows) at drop-off time in the morning. Super happy with the setup, especially the well-managed, fast and easy drop-off
and pick-up.

My boy started going to Safari Kid from 14 months. I’ve also accompanied him for the settle-in session. I think the nursery has good space, is generally clean, teachers are warm and kind to kids. They run various activities each week. They have a Mandarin teacher which is particularly helpful because
Mandarin is my boy’s first language.
Although babies occasionally lose pairs of socks I still think it’s a very good nursery and definitely recommended to my friends.

Fantastic nursery with wonderful teachers! The best really in Islington (I’ve been to many before we chose Safari). Everyday activities are thoroughly planned and very stimulating/educational for the kids including music, foreign language classes and many more. My boy absolutely loves coming to Safari
and I love it even more. Many thanks!

First and foremost my child is happy to go to Safari kid every day. She really likes the teachers and what she does there. From a parent point of view, the nursery is very good. The activities that are proposed and the teaching are excellent. Children are positively stimulated.

We are very happy with Safari Kid nursery and my son loves it here. After moving countries, the Safari staff has been a great help making my son feel at home in London, from the settling in phase to transitions to other groups, and resolving his picky eating habits. Doesn't matter who I talk to, the
staff members are all friendly, communicate clearly about any upcoming changes, and are listening to feedback. We couldn't be happier.

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.
