Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

As a parent from an Asian country, it's uncommon for families to send children to daycare before age three. When I decided to enrol my 10-month-old at Kido Tooting, I faced family pressure, with grandparents even coming to the UK to express their concerns.
Choosing Kido Tooting was the best decision
I made in 2024. I regularly use translation software to update my family about my child's well-being, sharing details about nutritious meals and attentive care for allergies. The dedicated staff promptly communicate any issues.
I often tell my family, "You don't have staff member's experience, patience, or ability to connect with children." The team is professional, patient, and compassionate. As a first-time parent, their support has been invaluable, from answering my questions to providing monthly progress reports.
Returning to my demanding job was possible thanks to Kido Tooting's exceptional team. I am grateful for their care and the independence it allows me.

The Kido Tooting team really care about the children who attend their nursery.
This is shown by the affection and knowledge they have of my own children.
The nursery brings all the ages together which creates a lovely community feel.
They create special moments to bring us all together and enjoy
time with our children and their friends.

An all round great nursery, staff are amazing and friendly. Management are so efficient and keep us up to date via the app and in person. I have no concerns about my daughter being here. She comes in happy and leaves even happier. She has formed many bonds with peers and her carers and I can honestly
say it is a genuine bond. Kido Tooting is honestly a great nursery, and the positivity radiates throughout the environment as soon as you step into the building. Thank you Kido Tooting for ensuring my daughter is safe, secure and happy.

I want to express appreciation for the excellent care and attention my daughter has received at Kido Tooting. Every time we enter the nursery, we are greeted with smiles and a warm welcome. The staff members are genuinely caring individuals. They have formed strong bonds with the children and go above
and beyond to meet their needs. My daughter comes home excited to tell us about the various activities she participated in throughout the day. From arts and crafts to outdoor play, it's clear that the nursery provides a diverse range of stimulating experiences for the children. I appreciate the regular updates and communication from the nursery staff. Whether it's through reports or informal chats at pick-up time, I always feel informed about my daughter's day and any important developments. Overall, I am delighted with the care and education my daughter is receiving at Kido Tooting. Thank you for your dedication and hard work in providing a fantastic environment for children to learn and grow.

Lovely staff, very kind and patient and seem to get along well. Management is also very friendly and helpful. Facilities are clean and roomy, with lots of natural light and a nice garden at the back. Nursery is in a quiet residential area and close to a park, away from the noise and pollution of the
main road. Overall, our experience with this nursery has been very positive thus far.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since it opened, and I can confidently say that she has thrived, grown, and learned every day. The staff are highly attentive and it's clear that they have a genuine love for working with children, which is heartwarming to see. The management team is excellent,
with an open-door policy that allows me to bring up any concerns. They are lovely and always focused on the children. It's wonderful to see them actively involved in the classrooms, getting to know the children instead of being stuck behind a desk. Overall, the experience at Kido for my child has been fantastic, and I highly recommend it.

We've tried out three nurseries in Tooting over the last few years and Kido is simply outstanding. Management and teachers are brilliant, forming relationships quickly, the building has been completely redone and the rooms are beautiful, and the thing we really appreciate is the extensive feedback on
our son's progress. We get detailed reports on his progress every month, weekly updates with dozens of photos, and daily chats at pickup. We could not be happier.

After looking at lots of different settings we chose Kido for our 2-year-old son and we've been so happy with the nursery!
Since starting he's increased in his confidence and independence.
The staff are lovely and so helpful, they've helped him transition into nursery life really smoothly.
He
does lots of different activities such as painting, dancing, sports, messy play, imaginary play and sensory play.
The Kido app gives us updates throughout the day on how he's getting on. At the end of the week, we get photos of the children playing together in the nursery and we get given daily schedules of different activities the children will be doing and what themes they will be learning about for example colours of the rainbow.
We get a monthly feedback review of how he's getting on and the goals they are working on with our son over the next month.
They also organise events for parents to meet and to have different teaching sessions i.e. sleep training.
We can't recommend Kido enough!

An amazing atmosphere with friendly and conscientious staff, couldn't ask for a better nursery to send my baby to. We loved Kido from day 1 and hope to continue the journey.


They use the latest technology to help us keep track of them during the day, and give us meaningful updates at the end of the

day. For the first six weeks, they give us weekly updates followed by a monthly one. It's so nice seeing photos of them growing and interacting with other children. Staff in his previous class and in their current class (not to mention staff who have moved to a different class) have been so amazing. We have never regretted sending him to Kido. Thanks to the team for the great work!

A great start to my daughter's journey with the nursery. All the staff are so warm and welcoming, children and parents get the chance to build a great bond and anything asked is always delivered.
So sad my daughter is leaving, we will really miss it, but so happy Kido Tooting has kicked started off

Our son loves Kiddo Tooting. He is always pleased to see his key worker and has learnt loads since he started going five months ago (he was 11 months old when he started). As parents, we get regular updates through the app, along with detailed progress updates. The administration of day-to-day activities
such as early drop-offs and changing pick-up times is easy. We couldn’t be happier with the service we have had so far with Kiddo Tooting.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.999)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.999) out of 10 for Kido Tooting is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 8 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 4.755 for Kido Tooting is calculated as follows: ( (73 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.755

  • 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 4.244 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kido Tooting is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.444

  • 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.
