Our child has been at Kido for around a year (they are now 18 months old). The onboarding program was much better than we had experienced at a different nursery which we moved from. After a week of onboarding into nursery, my partner and I were very comfortable leaving our child there for the 2nd week.
Our child acclimated quickly and was also ready for this time when it came. Our child very quickly became excited to go to nursery and bonded with the staff in the 0-18 month room.
The staff are incredibly friendly, patient and caring. Almost every day, our child comes home and has learned something new from the staff in the room. She smiles when the staff comes into the entrance to bring her home in the morning and she is always in a good mood at the end of the day. We always get verbal and app updates to understand learning, food and sleep during the day.
We couldn't recommend Kido Camden more to any parents looking for a nursery!!!

Kido Camden is the best decision I made as a parent. My daughter has grown up so much since being there. Her development is exceptional and she loves going every day. The staff are warm, caring and diligent. I feel how they care for her everyday and I couldn't have asked for better people to look after
my daughter. I highly recommend Kido Camden to anyone.

My child has been very happy about the nursery, we sent him over at 1 yr for a full week, and he's always looking forward to go, and gets out happy. Excellent staff, always getting a live recap of the day from them.


A bit pricey and the fees are going up every year - but what else is news in central

London.

From the beginning, the amount of support and guidance provided by the admissions team to the nursery teachers has been fantastic. But above all, I leave my child in the care of some of the most caring people I have met. My son does not easily go to people. But he has formed bond with many of the carers,
and I can leave him with them knowing that he is being taken care of. He has a smile going in and smile coming out. Kido for me and my son has been absolutely the best gift. Thank you for everything you do.

Reply from Grace Taylor, Marketing and Advertising Manager at Kido Camden

Thank you so much for your review. We're so glad that your son has formed bonds with staff in the nursery and that you are both happy with Kido. Thank you for being part of the Kido family!

We highly recommend Kido Camden. We viewed several nurseries, even passing on one close to home because we preferred Kido. The staff were more personable, caring and affectionate with the children. We appreciate their security standards (phones not permitted on premises, kept in a box). I enjoy the
app which allows parents to receive instant updates on their children's sleep/feed/BM schedule and communicate directly with staff. Staff provided daily updates on the day's activities and how children were developing and feeling. I felt confident my son was not only being watched with competence, but that he'd also have fun and learn. His skill set and development improved once attending. We've built a lovely, trusting relationship with many of the staff. Sadly, we are forced to move to another town so our son will no longer be able to attend. This was a very difficult decision as we'll be hard pressed to find another daycare we love as much. Once leaving, you realise what a great establishment it truly is.

Kido Camden has been nothing short of amazing. The staff are very kind, and attentive and always have a genuine interest in helping our little boy develop.

Our son has settled in very well and clearly has a great time with peers and staff at the nursery. We’ve seen a big difference in his learning and abilities as a result of his time there and the care from staff in settling him and ensuring his naps are kept to has been great. Receiving photos and feedback
we appreciate is quite standard practice but having this on a daily basis we’ve enjoyed and felt reassured by. His recent transition to the next age group has seemingly gone well and we have a happy and healthy boy to pick up at the end of the day. We would definitely recommend Kido Camden.

Our son went to Kido and now our daughter. We have tried several nurseries and always find Kido staff much more personable. My daughter is in the baby room and loves to go in every day and comes out smiling. They do loads of stimulating activities for her kids. We are very happy with our experience
there.

It's been wonderful seeing our son grow up from the baby room to the biggest room in Kido Camden. I'm a big fan of the photo and food updates. The monthly updates with goals are really helpful too. It's also lovely seeing the strong bonds with the staff.

We have been with Kido since our little one was 6 months old. Two years from first joining Kido, we are still very pleased with their work. Staff are super warm and friendly with the children and they create such a good environment that we can see our children really bonding with the other kids in the
room. They introduce interesting activities as well, which our tot loves to proudly show us at home. But the priority for us was having an environment that gave our kid the opportunity to develop by playing and having nurturing relationships and Kido delivers this like no other nursery.

We highly recommend Kido Camden, our son has been going there for two and a half years and loves it. Their care and the love they show to my son is just amazing. They share pictures of my child and notes from the day so you know what they've been up to. Learning journeys have been outstanding in every
area since he started. It is difficult to say goodbye as he starts reception. I'll always recommend Kido Camden to my friends and neighbours.
Thank you all!

Kido is a great place for babies, toddlers or kids! We had such an amazing experience with our eldest son, that Kido was the only option that we considered for our second child. Kido has lots of activities for the children and they easily progress in everything. This is due to very professional and
dedicated staff. But overall, for us, the best thing about Kido is that both kids have been and are very happy there!

A great experience with Kido Camden. My son joined last year in November and I am so amazed at the level of detail and support. He loves it there and the staff are amazing. They always keep us informed on his daily activities and progress
Ready to work with us in achieving all his targets as my son
is a bit delayed.

From the nursery director to the room leader and key person, everyone has been so kind and gentle with our daughter.
We were immediately put at ease with the settling-in sessions and they even helped to create a transitional object for drop-offs - they send regular updates throughout the day and also
at the end of each week to let us know what themes and associated activities they have been doing as well as a quarterly personalised update on our daughter's development.
The fine balance between structure and freedom coupled with the open and warm environment gives our daughter the confidence and support to interact with her peers as well as encourages her continued development.
A big thank you to all of you!

Our daughter has been with Kido Camden from baby room up to the pre schoolers and the nursery is a second home for us. We started in Kido Camden when the nursery was new and witnessed all the developments and the greatest thing was when the nursery manager came along and made it a place with children
in mind where we felt all staff were aligned with this approach. We will miss the nursery very much as our daughter moves on to school and highly recommend this place where children thrive and parents have a listening ear and their feedback is instantly taken into action.

Reply from Katerina Karnavou, Head of Parent Engagement at Kido Camden

Thank you for your lovely feedback! It's been wonderful having your daughter as part of our Kido Camden community. We're glad to know that our child-centred approach made a positive impact, and we wish you all the best in your new chapter in school.

Our little one has been attending Kido Camden since October 2022. She has been happy to go there since day 1! She started in the baby room and now is in the adventures room and loves going in everyday. The team there is so warm, caring and gentle which has been so wonderful in terms of helping her adjust
in the early days and when transitioning to the toddler room. Kido really values childhood development but also emphasises the importance of allowing the kids to explore their world in a warm and loving environment. The staff are so attentive and engaged to the individual child and that is something that is so important. She also learns so many songs, reads books and gets outdoor play time which is great. I would really recommend Kido to anyone I know and I am so happy we have found a place that allows our daughter to thrive.

Our child has been here since they were a baby! I love the fact that it‘s so multicultural - celebrating all kind of international events. Upstairs, kids are learning how to make their own dessert and we are always excited to receive the weekly pictures through the nursery app. We‘d love to send our
child everyday to Kido Camden, but the yearly increase made it difficult (but of course that’s for all private nurseries).

They really care for my kid and shower him with love. They organise really nice events for the children and adults and feed them with balanced food. The only improvement I can think of is updates being communicated in a regular cadence.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.863)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.863) out of 10 for Kido Camden is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.863 for Kido Camden is calculated as follows: ( (260 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.863

  • 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 Camden is based on 25 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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2, which has been reached with 25 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.
