The staff at Kido Crouch End are caring and friendly and we feel safe leaving our little one in their care. It is a warm environment with a focus on family, and she has shown great development within herself and her friendships in a short space of time due to the focus and encouragement of her carers.

Reply from Philippe Sachs, CEO, UK at Kido Crouch End

Thanks Alana. We really appreciate the lovely sentiments and above all strive to create a warm environment where children can thrive.

Kido was the first experience I ever had with a nursery and I was, of course, nervous and apprehensive above sending our first baby there at 7 months but the experience has been brilliant from start to finish. The staff are great and the facilities lovely. Our baby boy has already learned so much and
is much more outgoing and inquisitive since being there. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Kido is an absolute dream, from the centre itself, the staff, activities they provide, the Kido app which provides real-time and valuable updates daily, etc. I’ve really enjoyed listening to my daughter recite her day, whether that’s about baby yoga, Spanish lessons, making play-doh. The list really
is endless. They encourage her to be creative and explore which is exactly what we wanted. They have always been flexible and accommodating to my work schedule too which is an absolute bonus. I cannot recommend Kido highly enough.

We have found Kido to be an incredibly kind, nurturing, and accommodating nursery both on a practical and emotional level. We have been really overwhelmed by the supportive nature and the inclusivity of parents. All staff within Kido are incredible, and the management team are very responsive and supportive.
It was very important to us to find somewhere for our daughter to thrive, somewhere she could learn through play but also develop and grow with a great sense of values and skills from the outset, which is exactly what Kido provide.

A lovely nursery with a great team. My 15-month-old son has been going here since July - it took him a while to settle in, being a Covid baby with minimal social interaction initially, but the staff have been patient and amazing. He's happy, thriving, and looks forward to nursery every time he's there
now. When it comes to dropping off/picking up/discussing activities and care, it's always positive.

We have been so happy with Kido. Our little one loves coming here, and really loves his teachers and carers. It was such an important decision to make the right choice of nursery given that there are so many in Crouch End. But we have not been disappointed at all. We especially love the outdoor and
indoor play areas, and the additional activities that are put on from time to time for additional excitement!

Kido Crouch End came to our rescue after a bad experience (safeguarding issue) with our previous preschool, where my son was attacked by another child. After moving to Kido he settled in right away and has made friends with other children and staff. The setup is lovely, they are consistent with app
feedback and make a real effort to involve parents in everything they do. Couldn't recommend the preschool enough!

Reply from Katerina Karnavou, Parent Engagement Manager at Kido Crouch End

Thank you for the lovely feedback! I am sorry you previously had a bad experience with another nursery and we hope that Kido Crouch End will change all the memories to happy and positive experiences!

We moved our daughter to Kido in January having recently moved to Crouch End from Islington, where she was at a different nursery. We were naturally nervous about the move, but our daughter settled in very quickly with the help and support of all the lovely staff. We've never felt anything other than
positive when dropping off/picking up/discussing activities and care. Our little girl now likes nursery so much that she acts out parts of her day there at home with us!

We couldn’t be happier with our choice to register our son to Kido Crouch End. The staff really go beyond our expectations. The everyday activities are amazing and super engaging. But most importantly we can feel that all teachers are genuinely and deeply caring about our son’s physical and emotional
wellbeing. Our son is so happy and excited to go there every morning and loves his teachers and friends.

Kido is fabulous. We moved our daughter to Kido after 10 months at another nursery due to a location change. This was a really daunting process for us but the team made it a seamless transition. Now 7 months on, our daughter has come on so much with her speech and social skills. We are so happy we picked
Kido.
The team are amazing, so friendly and attentive. The nursery is a beautiful space to drop your child off each day.

Kido is a wonderful nursery, with warm and caring staff, excellent facilities and a great ethos. My son started a Kido in the summer just after the first lockdown. He has loved it from day 1 - come on leaps and bounds in all areas including speech, writing, etc but also made some really good friends.
Couldn’t recommend this nursery more!

I can’t speak more highly about Kido Crouch End. The staff have been incredible at helping my daughter settle in. They are brilliant, everyone is so helpful and caring, they know the children very well and will do anything to make them happy. My daughter loves all the parties and events they are having
regularly, the STEM class, the crafts and learning Mandarin. Her social and communication skills, even her manners, have improved a lot since she started. She chats about her friends and teachers and she is always smiling and happy when I collect her. The rooms are very well organised, lots of wooden toys and books. The outdoor space is not big but they are making the most of it. Children can play football and basketball, they also have bikes. The food is good (not organic) and the menu changes all the time, they take care of fussy eaters like my daughter. I am extremely pleased with Kido Crouch End, it’s a wonderful place.

We had to move our son from the previous place he was at due to neglect. We found Kido. Had a tour of the place before it had officially opened and fell in love with the place. It was a few months before we made the decision to start. Due to the pandemic, he was at home with us for a while. Once the
settling in started it just felt right. Now 4 months on we can see such a positive difference in our son. We love and look forward to the weekly updates. We feel it’s a good balance of education, activities and nutrition. We could not recommend this place more even if we tried!

Wonderful new nursery in Crouch End with excellent and spacious facilities. Lovely staff at all levels and engaged and hands-on management. Our son walks in happily and confidently every morning. Having moved our son from another local nursery that we were no longer happy with, I’m pleased to say our
very high expectations have been met and we are very impressed with the philosophy and curriculum at Kido. The company works hard to do everything right. The food is excellent, healthy and nutritious. The secure app provides real-time updates throughout the day and it’s lovely to see photos and helpful to see accurate info on his naps and mealtimes. Thank you to all the staff and management for looking after our son so well!

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.
