What parents say

Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection

how well staff helped their child settle

Parents like the daily communication from staff, so they know about how their child's care routines are managed throughout the day

their children make in relation to their confidence and how they are learning to share and take turns

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

Outdoor space

Children who have fewer opportunities to play outdoors benefit from walks to the local park, where they begin to learn about nature and develop their physical skills and stamina. The inspectors observed the quality of education during a variety of activities, inside and outside, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.

EAL / language support

Overall, children who speak English as an additional language have their home language valued and staff help them to learn English. However, there are some inconsistencies in how well these children are supported.

Great nursery! My little one has been attending since 2. The staff are lovely and we love the curriculum the nursery has. My LO has come on leaps and bounds and I receive comments regularly about her nature and how social she is. I think this nursery has contributed to that. I love the HYGGE approach. They have recently also started doing forest school sessions

My son has been attending Kiddi caru Rushden since he was 11 months. I cannot recommend the nursery enough. My son loves it. All the staff are fantastic with the children. They are caring, knowledgeable and professional. We love that they do activities and go on little outings often. Thank you to all at the nursery.
