Overall Experience

We are really please with our daughters progress. Naturally leaving your child with strangers to start with is so hard however that quickly changed. Everyone knows our daughters name even if they do not work with her immediately. She loves nursery, has made great friends which we was worried about,

we are kept very well informed, always something new and exciting going on whether its activities or events. We love the nursery and all the teachers/assistants and whom support her

from Claire R (Mother of Child) published on 1 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at this nursery for 2 years now, and has such a lovely bond with the staff. They take really great care of the children and always have smiling faces, even when they must be exhausted from long days of keeping young children entertained! This for me is a sign that they really love

their jobs. When I had an issue, the management team dealt with it straight away, took positive actions and gave me clear feedback on the changes they made, without making excuses.
We have had a lovely experience at Kiddi Caru Writtle.

from D N (Father of Child) published on 11 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter is currently in the Squirrels room and i can't express how happy she is to go in everyday! She has been with familiar staff since rabbits and her key worker Holly is amazing. She goes above and beyond to create interesting activities and educational opportunities for her. There are 4 staff

members in her room but there are only 2 that stand out for their endless work. Holly and Amber run the room and are always thinking of new exciting experiences for my little girl. She comes home everyday asking to go back the day after!
Thank you so much girls!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to Kiddi Caru since she was 9 months old and is soon to turn 4. From day one the staff couldn't be more helpful and friendly. Each key worker that she has had has really taken the time to get to know her and help her thrive throughout her development. Our daughter has particularly

loved attending 'Forest school' learning and exploring the great outdoors.

Review of
Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Writtle, Chelmsford
from E A (Mother of Child) published on 24 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Management- there is always a issue entering the nursery around 5pm. With no management being available to answer the door causing ques and delays. More staff needed.
HR- hard to follow invoices with no mathematical calculation present so you are able to track how your bill is calculated
Payment-

payment for bank holidays and holidays the child takes even if you give nursery months ahead notice. Cost of food is too high- we are charged 260 per month for full time food and we only spend 350£ for 3 of us at home.
Staff- often have lost child belongings and wore his shoes without socks and act as if they haven't noticed. There was an occasion we had to wait 30mins for the team to find his shoes so he didn't walk home with just socks on.
Often in actives our child gets injured due to lack of supervision e.g. our child now has a permanent scar on his eye lid from falling over in water play.

from A S (Mother of Child) published on 21 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter really enjoys her time at nursery. She has built great relationships with the team. And her experience, activities and development has come on leaps and bounds.
However I do feel that for the activities we are being charged a lot more than the value of the activities themselves, and feel

that the costs can be more fairly set.
My child loves her experience, and had grown so much, but the cost is far higher than needed.

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Chelmsford, City Centre
from Scott W (Father of Child) published on 20 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Kiddi Caru Chelmsford ! From the very first day, the staff made us feel completely at ease. They are incredibly caring, patient, and attentive to every child's individual needs. Our little one has grown in confidence, independence, and communication since

joining.

The nursery provides a warm, welcoming environment where children are encouraged to explore, play, and learn through creative and engaging activities. We love receiving daily updates and photos that show just how much fun they're having - from messy play and outdoor adventures to story time and art projects.

The team clearly puts a lot of effort into planning enriching experiences and fostering a sense of community among families. It's wonderful to see how much our child looks forward to going each day!

We can't recommend Kiddi Caru Chelmsford highly enough. It's a truly special place where children are nurtured, supported, and inspired to thrive.

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Colchester
from G F (Mother of Child) published on 20 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Honestly would rate 0 if I could. My daughter attended for all of 6 weeks before I removed her due to staff neglect. Within that 6 weeks she came home with nappy rash on more than one occasion, even though the nursery had been advised she had eczema and needed additional nappy changes, they were often

leaving her unchanged for between 3 and 5 hours, I have evidence of this from the app they use. Additionally on the last day she was there they ran a water play activity where the children got wet and then they left my under 2 year old in wet socks all day resulting in blisters in 4 places across both of her feet. I've been at the nursery and seen children crying and the staff ignoring them to chat or spend time with their own children who are in the same room. They also stick the children in front of the tv rather than engaging in active play. Absolutely appalling place, do not recommend, send your children elsewhere!

Overall Experience

Kiddo Caru Chelmsford has been our nursery for our two children over the past 5 years, and we cannot fault it. The care provided is beyond reproach and we have witnessed both of our children grow socially and in their learning. Our older son left with such a thorough grounding to prepare him for school

and we are witnessing the same with our younger daughter. The support is personalised, with every member of staff knowing the children as individuals and providing specific support for their needs. Highly recommended!

Overall Experience

Kiddi Caru have been amazing with daughter. She can be quite shy and I was worried about moving her from a nursery she was familiar with but wasn't giving the best for her. Since being at Kiddi Caru her confidence has blossomed! She is always excited to go and doesn't want to leave!

The staff have

been amazing through out her time, including the settling sessions. I'm kept up to date on her day through their app and I receive an in depth handover when I go to collect her.

They also do some lovely activities to mark special occasions such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas etc. They even include a day for grandparents to come and visit too.

I would highly recommend Kiddi Caru Colchester to anyone looking for child care

We have seen significant development across all areas since our son first started attending Toad Hall. Without a doubt, this is due to the kind nature and attentiveness of the wonderful staff.

My little boy has been at the nursery for approximately 9 months and he absolutely loves it. The staff are so kind and friendly. It's clear they really love the children and give the best level of care. They provide a range of nutritious and adventurous meals. He gets to engage in a huge range of activities

(arts, baking, gardening), with trips out and they have extensive outdoor areas at the nursery. He even got to have fun in the pool last week! I'm really glad he attends this nursery and would highly recommend it to anyone :)

from C S (Mother of Child) published on 25 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

When I found this nursery last year for daughter who was being ng tube fed this nursery got a number of staff together so they could be trained so when my daughter joined she could still have the fluids : nutrition she needed they were amazing. If they didn't know something they would contact me for

an answer instead of just guessing . The nursery and the staff are amazing with the help and support myself and my daughter have had from them. Since my daughter has had her ng tube removed they have been ensuring to let me know if she hasn't drunk or eaten enough throughout the days she is there. If any accidents when in nursery they contact you immediately. Can't fault the nursery or the staff,

They make transitions easy for the children by giving them a couple of times in the bigger room instead of just putting them there.
