A wonderful nursery with a truly caring team. Our daughter settled in beautifully and genuinely loved her time there, thanks to the warmth and dedication of the staff — special thanks to Eva, Serife, Ruby, Leon, Sofia, Alisha, Ojona, and Aisha. We’re deeply grateful for the positive start they’ve given her.

Kido is a caring and supportive nursery that our daughter loves. We moved to Kido from another Crouch End nursery as soon as it opened and we like everything about it. The staff are friendly and cheerful, the facilities are brand new and rich in resources for the kids, and our daughter is making friends and learning new things every day. The curriculum is unique and is giving our daughter exposure to sign language, Mandarin, sport, and so much more. And we particularly appreciate how communicative Kido is with parents - there's an app that provides daily personalized updates, photos of your child, and other news - and staff communicate regularly with parents about events at the nursery. We really couldn't be happier and would recommend Kido to anyone in the Crouch End area.
