Day Nurseries Owned by Grandir UK in Essex

I'm impressed by so much there, including the menu and the info we can get through the connected app.

My first child went to Kiddi Caru years ago which I then followed on my second son with a lot of needs. I knew from his first day this nursery will be the world of good for him. My son has done 2 years here and although his progress has been slow he has learned so much with everyone who works here. I have had so much help and want to thank all the staff. I am very grateful for how much they actually care for my child

A note from our daughter who used to attend and is now in Yr2- the teachers are the best.

Pippins is such a special place and the staff are brilliant. The setting on the farm is amazing, especially Forest School and the woods and meadow. We feel so lucky our son is able to spend time there, supported by a kind, understanding team

Thank you to everyone there for the incredible work you do, it means a lot to our family.

I've also recommended my friends and they now send their babies to the same nursery. Overall I can't fault the nursery at all. One very happy mummy.

This nursery is the best we could of asked for. They have helped our child in every way possible. All the staff have gone above and beyond to help my child and keep us informed of the progress they make each day. Each person is so kind and caring, loving and nurturing that it feels like a second home. I cannot thank each person enough for what they have done for my child. 100% place your child here is you can.

Good experience overall had 2 children attending the nursery at some point! Happy with them. Staff are nice and managers as well. Convenient location for us. Only one slight issue was getting mixed messages from different staff about how happy or sad my 3 year old was when he was in preschool so felt that communication between staff might not be the best sometimes. Otherwise no issues at all.

Since joining almost a year ago, our 3 year old has excelled in speech, independence and growth! The staff had worked closely with us to bring out the best in our boy and he loves the days he goes in! The team are always very patient and makes the most of each day. The management are always welcoming every day and show genuine care of each child that walks through the door. Our child's key worker is fantastic and goes above and beyond and he loves going in the see her each day!

Our daughter has been attending this nursery for over a year now, in the under 2s classrooms and our experience has been stellar. She loves it there. Her key workers have been sensational and the entire staff is incredibly attentive. Would highly recommend it, can't fault it.

This nursery has been wonderful for our son. The staff are friendly, nurturing, and always take the time to understand each child's needs. We've seen so much growth in confidence and development since joining. It truly feels like a safe, happy place, and we're very grateful for the care they provide.

Thank you for all you do at Toad Hall !

My son only started Pippins on Monday but what I have experience so far is fantastic! All the staff are lovely and I am well informed of my son's day. I LOVE the app and all the updates I am getting. SUPER pleased my boy is with Pippins

I couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery for our daughter. From the moment you walk in, the environment is warm and welcoming, and it's always kept tidy and clean.The staff are truly exceptional - knowledgeable, caring, and genuinely invested in building strong relationships with the children. My daughter has developed lovely bonds with both the staff and her peers, which speaks volumes about the nurturing atmosphere they've created. The educational programme is varied and addresses all aspects of development with clear feedback from her key carer on individual areas.

The management team are efficient and well-organized, and their communication is always clear and prompt, particularly through the app which makes staying connected so easy.

Most importantly, my daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. She's happy, settled, and thriving there. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to other families

I'm very happy I moved her to Pippins as feel they have gone over and beyond to provide the best possible experience and support.

My child has been attending the nursery for over 2 years and they thoroughly enjoy their days there. We particularly like the outside space and education including forest school, trips out to the local area and extra activities like balancebility, which are all fantastic. All the staff have always been brilliant with my child and also keeping us informed/up to date with their development there. They have always been patient and understanding which we value, particularly when there have been changes at home (i.e. new siblings), changing rooms/key workers and when we have experienced challenging drop-offs. I have been told that the food is also better than the home equivalent too!

My daughter has been going to the nursery since 2023. Very happy with the staff at the nursery and the settings. Kiddi Caru have guided my daughter through nursery life in a structured way, I would highly recommend Kiddi Caru to anyone that needs a nursery in the area.

Our two children have attended the nursery. We have always had a great experience all round. Great facilities, especially outdoors and excellent and very knowledgeable staff. Great food offering and regular feedback is provided. Highly recommended!

My son loves nursery, he is happy and I can tell the staff really care about him and the other children. They always have great activities for the children, they always try to get them outside each day to play. The food is amazing, and one of the things that helped me choose this nursery was because their menus were so well planned, and they had a vegan alternative that considered the nutritional needs, and it was printed and available, which meant they had operationalised it already. They have always accomodated our dietry requirement and supported my son who is a picky eater, with safe foods they know he will eat plus offering him something to encourage him to try new foods still. The SENCO is warm and well trained, and all of the nursery staff are friendly and genuinly helpful. I know he is well cared for and safe every day. They are very consistent with applying policies around illness, and allergies etc and communications/updates are regular. My son trusts the nursery practioners.

We couldn't be happier with Kiddi Caru! Ever since starting here 9 months ago, our now 3 year old has thrived. His social skills have come such a long way & he always comes home saying he had a fun day playing with his friends and teachers. He has two food allergies and the nursery has excellent policies in place to ensure he is safe during mealtimes.

I noticed a review below saying that they stick children in front of the tv rather than active play and that is definitely not our experience. The only time I've ever seen a tablet used was end of day and the children were watching a yoga video actively participating in doing the poses (which I thought was adorable!). The nursery staff are great with providing a wide range of activities as well as free play time for the children. Would definitely recommend this nursery.
