Our 9 month old loves attending Kïdo Crouch End! He started in August and we've already seen him progress in his development due to the experiences he has had at nursery so far. He is an incredibly active boy and the nursery has so many opportunities for him to be free to do that safely that he can't
do at home. Before joining nursery, he was quite anxious of being around other children and now absolutely loves smiling and laughing with the other babies. The team in the Discoverers Room were wonderful during his settling in and have built such a lovely bond with our son, in particular his key person. All of the team are so excited to see him in the morning, he started nursery unable to separate from us without crying and now happily goes to everyone for a cuddle and is happy throughout the day.
They have supported us on our sons weaning journey and with his sleep at home. The team are knowledgeable, kind and caring and their passion for looking after children shines through.

My daughter comes home everyday excited to tell me about all of the fantastic activities that the staff in her room arrange for her and her friends. The staff provide detailed updates on my daughter's progress through their monthly stories, and I find the app very useful to check how long my daughter
has slept and how much she has eaten. Overall the staff and the setting itself are lovely and my daughter obviously feels safe, cared for and happy there every day.

Our son joined the nursery full-time, five days a week when he turned one (8 months ago) and he loves it. The staff are really friendly and loved by the children. The app updates on meals, sleep and nappy changes, as well as weekly photos and monthly observations, are so reassuring and useful. Our son
has a lot of fun doing all of the activities and using the indoor and outdoor play areas. Kido staff have been very good with his handling his multiple allergies. The nursery always seems clean, safe and secure.

Our daughter has attended Kido for nearly 2 years now. We have been very pleased with the care she has received. She is always so happy to attend nursery and runs in with a smile. The staff are kind and attentive and seem to care personally for each child. Our daughter has really developed during her
time at the nursery and the staff are always ensuring there are appropriate learning/activities for whichever stage she is at. Our son is due to attend in a few months time. We are overall very happy with our experience.

We’re extremely happy with Kido in Crouch End. Our daughter joined a year ago and she loves going into the nursery each day and spending time with her wonderful little friends. The staff at Kido are always warm, welcoming and patient with our daughter. Her language has come on a lot in the last few
months and I love asking her what and who she’s played with that day! It’s wonderful to hear about the different activities and if she can’t remember what’s she’s done I can look at the weekly activities uploaded onto the app to jog her memory! She happily walks through the door each morning with the ladies with a smile and a wave. I go about my day happy in the knowledge that she’s happy, safe and being cared for by great people.

We have been very happy with Kido. Our son started when he was ten months old and took a little while to settle. The Kido team were extremely communicative, patient and caring throughout. He now loves it and has created strong relationships with his teachers and friends. The Kido team work closely with
parents, and they were very helpful and accommodating with our son's nap transitions and weaning him off the bottle. Along with frequent photos and updates of his daily activities, we enjoy receiving his monthly report and hearing about his progress, what he has learned and what we can do at home to support his development. We have no doubt that the Kido team have played a key role in his physical and language development. We have since had our second baby, and we’re looking forward to her joining her brother at Kido next year.

I have two daughters attend the nursery, one who will soon be starting school and another in the baby room. The staff are super friendly, informative and are happy to address any question me or my partner may have. Most importantly, my children are safe and content, which is my main priority. I’d definitely
recommend.

We are thrilled with Kido. As first-time parents, we were apprehensive about leaving our son at nursery, but it quickly became apparent that he was in safe hands.
The staff have all been very friendly and helpful, and a pleasure to deal with.
A huge bonus for us was the app where we receive updates
on our son's activities, together with photos, nappy changes, what he's eating (and how much of it), etc. This is a really nice touch, and it's lovely to receive these updates whilst I'm at work.
Our son settled in very quickly and leaves the nursery full of smiles, so I'm pretty sure he's having a great time. The activities appear to be varied and fun for him. There also appears to be a good variation in the food served.
I wholly recommend Kido to other parents.
Thank you to all at Kido Crouch End.

My son has settled in very easily into Kido Crouch End nursery due to the warm and caring staff. They make a great effort to know each child’s individual needs and give them the attention they require. They have many stem activities throughout the day and my son always tries to replicate them at home.
The food is very healthy and the nursery is always in a clean/tidy condition even towards the end of the day.

Where to start ... I’m a first-time mum and I was super worried about leaving my 11-month-old when I went back to work. I didn’t need to be, she has blossomed and changed so much in the last 5 months.
She loves going to see her friends and comes home covered in all sorts of paints and glitter from
all the fun they have had during the day.
The Kido team are wonderful at keeping us up to date on how she is progressing and her speech and eating skills have come on so fast.
I can’t recommend Kido enough.

Is always hard to leave your child with someone else, but over the course of time this has proven the best decision. After trying out 3 very popular outstanding nurseries in the area and being super disappointed Kido was my last chance of trying again. Staff are great, we love the little outdoor and
indoor space, my son had really good connections and he was very happy there. He is now off to school in September but if I had another child, I would not take him anywhere else. Best nursery in the area, in my opinion.

Our daughter has been at Kido for 7 months now, since she was 1, and has absolutely blossomed under their care. Seeing her walk in happy and excited for the day makes us feel really comforted and she always comes home happy and full of ‘stories’ about her day! The app is great for seeing what and how
much they have eaten, when and for how long they have slept, and we always get photo updates of her day. I’ve been really impressed with the quality of the food and feel confident that she’s getting a balanced diet (especially important as she doesn’t eat meat). The staff are so welcoming, really kind and caring and also lots of fun. There are always loads of great activities going on and the team organise some great opportunities for parents to get together too. We have been super impressed with Kido and are so happy we chose it.

We love Kido Crouch End. As a first time mum, I was very anxious at first but seeing my baby smile when I park the car to drop him off said a million words to me. He settled in very quickly and doesn’t even wait for me to wave goodbye as he is always excited to start his day.


The staff are very

attentive and so kind. The building itself is modern and beautiful with loads of space and resources for the children to explore.


I would highly recommend Kido Crouch End.

Kido Crouch End has exceeded my expectations of a nursery. I was apprehensive at the thought of leaving my little one at a nursery when they were so young, but Kido Crouch End has been wonderful. The staff seem competent, professional, organised and friendly. They have a good routine/flow for the day
with breakfast, snacks, naps, lunch and nappy checks/changes. I was only really focusing on my child’s safety, care and happiness on choosing a nursery but Kido organise a variety of wonderful activities focusing on child development and play - puzzles, books, drawing, modeling clay, sand and other sensory play. They are aware of my child’s different areas of development and those areas that need a little encouragement. The food seems great with some good healthy meals. The venue is newly decorated and is a fresh, nice looking environment. I’m very pleased that I found Kido and would certainly recommend it.

We are delighted with Kido Crouch End. Our son started at 1 year old and has been there for nearly 5 months and we feel extremely comfortable with everything.
We got a great feeling as soon as went to look around; it wasn't pushy and the communication was good.
Our son took a while to settle in,
which we expected, but has grown to love it.
We love the mobile app which lets us see what he's been up to during the day and we get regular messages from the staff with lovely photos and stories of his progress.
We would certainly recommend it to anyone.

Kido Nursery is a really friendly, welcoming environment with a lovely community of parents! Our 20 month old started at the nursery around 1 year and has grown in character and developmental abilities significantly in that time. She also absolutely loves the staff and the other children and gains so
much from her time at nursery. She has developed strong bonds with the lovely staff as well as personal relationships with the other children. Her development has also been significant and the activities and environment Kido offers has really helped to encourage her in all types of activities and skills.
The nursery itself is a lovely play environment with outdoor space and is immaculately clean and well presented.
Mostly though, as a parent, it’s a joy to drop her off each morning with her smiling and rushing in to see her friends. The staff are always super helpful, very professional in accounting for allergies and the updates on the app are really appreciated.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.367)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.367) out of 10 for Kido Crouch End 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 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 4.867 for Kido Crouch End is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.867

  • 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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kido Crouch End is based on 10 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. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.5

  • 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.
