Both of our children have attended this nursery. The staff are friendly, attentive and really get to know the children. Our second struggled to settle but their communication was fantastic and the support was practical and within a couple of months she adored the staff and her time there. The barn is
a great asset, they use the outdoor spaces as much as they can, and I love the different things to explore in the rooms. They're also great at picking up great resources and ideas across the different age groups. Both of our children are happy, sociable and progressing as a result of their time at Kiddi Caru Hitchin.

We've had such a wonderful experience with this nursery. From day one, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, kind, and attentive. Their communication is excellent - we're always kept updated on what our little one has been doing throughout the day, which is so reassuring.
Our child absolutely
loves coming here and is always full of smiles when we pick him up. The activities are amazing - from creative arts and crafts to outdoor adventures and lots of messy play (his favourite part!). It's lovely to see how much fun he has while learning new skills and growing in confidence every day.
The nursery has such a warm, nurturing atmosphere, and it's clear that the team genuinely care about each child's happiness and development.

My daughter joined Kiddi Karru in December 2024 as an Otter. In the beginning, the first couple of months were really difficult - she struggled to settle in, and as a parent, it was really hard to watch. However, the upside of this experience was the incredible support from the Kiddi Karru team. They
worked tirelessly with both of us to help her feel comfortable, and I will forever be grateful for the love and care you showed during those challenging times.
Now, she is a fully fledged Hedgehog. What can I say - she absolutely loves it, and it's amazing to see how far she has come. The Hedgehog team has helped her grow in leaps and bounds, and it is wonderful to watch her thrive.
I'm excited for her next adventure as she moves into the Squirrels soon.
I have nothing but kind words for the entire team - they are truly exceptional!

Our son started in Otters at 1 year old, and from day one the team have been incredibly helpful, friendly, and supportive in helping him settle in. They have always been amazing - he absolutely loves being there, and it's such a comfort as a parent to know he's in safe hands, having fun, learning, and
building confidence every day. We couldn't be happier and are so grateful for the wonderful care he receives!
The app is also really helpful to keep up-to-date with everything you want to know about their day.

My daughter has been at kiddo caru hitchin since she was in hedgehogs, to squirrels and now pre school. She enjoys it a lot. The staff are perfect and very friendly and she loves spending time with them. Even if she can be teary she seeks attention from the staff members and they are more than accomadating.
It's lovely they do parties for certain events- Christmas, Halloween etc. she comes home with lots of arts and crafts. Tara x

Our little girl has had such a wonderful time at the nursery. She has made a lot of friends and feels very safe here. I feel like the staff do a lot for the children and activities like the phonics etc. Help get the pre schoolers ready for school.

Both our daughters love being at nursery. Despite some high staff turn over recently (like all nurseries), the new staff have welcomed our second daughter brilliantly who has just started. Our older daughter says she loves the food and phonics sessions!

Both our children have gone to Kiddi Caru. The biggest asset of the nursery is the staff - They genuinely care and look after your children. This makes it easier to go to work each day. Settling for both children was difficult, and the staff worked with us to make sure the children learnt it was a safe,
fun and loving place to be. Going up through the rooms, the teams develop the activities and learning - We've seen our little girl grow in confidence and she really enjoys learning, and the team match where she is at and what she enjoys. The outside space is on the smaller side, but they make the most of it going out lots when possible. And the soft play barn is a great addition, allowing them to get active in any weather. The app is good for communication on the children's days and also to receive photos of what they have been up to! Both our kids enjoy their nursery days and come home happy.

The nursery staff have been very welcoming and did their best for my son to have a smooth settle in the nursery. They have been attentive and supportive and ensured it was a great environment for him. He is now well settled and leaves with smiles at the end of the day.

We are very happy with the staff at Harpenden Day Nursery. My kid came back this week from nearly a month off, and he was super happy and smiling to his teachers! He is my second kid going here and we are very satisfied with the way they learn and develop. The nursery keeps improving year after year
and it is also a delight to see the staff grow alongside the kids. Strongly recommended.

Our son started at the age of 9 months, settled in very quickly. Staff are very helpful during setting sessions. He loved to be at nursery and appears happy with the day routine. Staff are very helpful with providing regular updates on the app. Thanks for all the support.

We have had our boys at the nursery (one has just recently left for primary). Couldn't speak more highly of the staff within the nursery, they have a lovely ethos, team spirit and are understanding. The team really works with parents if there are any issues or concerns and my boys have been really happy
there.
