Overall Experience

My son has been going to Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Leighton Buzzard since he was a few months old in 2021. He settled immediately and his development has been so wonderful to watch as he grows up there. He's vegetarian and the meals are varied and delicious and the nursery itself is beautiful, safe & fun - he is so happy with the fantastic staff.

Overall Experience

We joined Kiddi Caru, Leighton Buzzard in October 2021. My son has settled so well into pre-school and loves going to play and learn with his friends and the wonderful, supportive teachers. My son is thriving, growing and enjoys his time there as they prepare for reception soon. The food/meals are varied and healthy and the setting is very convenient.

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery! My son really struggled with me leaving him at first but all the staff were brilliant at settling him in and comforting him. He now loves nursery and enjoys going to learn and seeing his friends. The staff are friendly and very helpful with any requests. I feel my son is safe and looked after at this nursery and I have real peace of mind leaving him there knowing he is happy!

Overall Experience
Fantastic nursery, members of staff are exceptional and all show real passion and care for the children. They faced a challenge settling in my youngest as he was born during lockdown, but they persevered and showed real patience and kindness whilst he settled in. My son started to really enjoy nursery and settled much quicker than I had hoped.
Great facilities, truly amazing staff and a lovely atmosphere.

My first son also attended this nursery and pre-school and he flourished too.

Overall Experience

My daughter started at the nursery in April 2021, she struggled to settle at first. The staff were so caring and reassuring making the settling in process a lot easier for both my daughter and myself. My daughter is now so happy to come to nursery. She’s benefiting so much from nursery and that’s a credit to the staff. The building work to the nursery was underway when she started at the setting and now complete it has transformed into a beautiful nursery. It has many new resources for the children and a lovely outdoor area with lots for the children to do.

Overall Experience

My little boy has attended the nursery for a year now, starting in the ladybird room and now in the bumblebee room. My son took a few months to settle into nursery life, as being a lockdown baby he found it very hard at first separating from mummy and daddy. The staff in the ladybird room were fantastic, very understanding and caring. My son now loves spending time at nursery, he is learning so much every day, he comes home talking about his friends and the main thing to me is that he comes home very happy.

Review from G D (Mother of Child) published on 27 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our little boy started at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Leighton Buzzard when he was 14-months old. In the beginning, he was anxious, tearful and unsettled in the mornings. However, after a couple of months, with the encouragement of his key person and other staff, he developed confidence and quickly got used to the nursery's routine and structure. Now he looks forward to going in each morning and doesn't even wave goodbye to me when I leave him! Through playing and singing, he's developing social skills and language. He seems really happy at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Leighton Buzzard which is a real relief for us as his parents.

Overall Experience

My daughter started at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Leighton Buzzard when she was 11-months old. All the staff were great and made the transition easy for us all. She is now two and loves nursery, she has progressed so much and is such a happy confident little girl. All the staff are lovely and everyone makes the effort to know all the children, regardless of what room they are based in, making it a very welcoming environment. I would definitely recommend it.

Review from S K (Father of Child) published on 27 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A fantastic nursery. Our little man, due to the pandemic, was struggling socialising and hated crowds. Since he started at nursery he has come along beautifully and is now extremely sociable. The staff are beyond fabulous - they are loving, caring and considerate. All the children in the class always seem extremely happy and there is always some craziness going on. The facilities have recently been refurbished and are state of art. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Review from Siobhan R (Mother of Child) published on 27 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Leighton Buzzard In October 2021. I was extremely nervous as not only was this my first child, who was born during the pandemic and therefore wasn’t very well socialised, but she also had an eating disorder and needed specialist support. The nursery went above and beyond to support my daughter. They took on advice from the specialist, put a care plan together and worked in partnership with my husband and I to provide consistency and help my daughter overcome her challenges. The team at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Leighton Buzzard are amazing, everyone I have met seems to have a passion for the early years and genuinely cares for the children. They are kind and my daughter has built great bonds with those in both the Caterpillar and Ladybird, which are the baby rooms and early toddler rooms. The nursery also puts on great events for parents and kids, such as a Mother’s Day garden party and a winter event too. This is an excellent nursery. I’m so pleased it close it for my daughter.

Review from Philippa T (Mother of Child) published on 27 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Kiddi Caru since November 2020 when she was 11 months old. She absolutely loves going to nursery and has come on leaps and bounds developmentally since she started. We were initially worried about her starting due to her spending most of her early months in lockdown, but the staff at Kiddi Caru have been so caring and supportive and really put us at ease. They do so many activities with the children and you can tell they are really passionate and enthusiastic about what they do. I go to work every morning knowing my child will be well looked after! It has been a wonderful childcare and learning environment for my daughter, I cannot recommend it enough.

The staff at the nursery are so lovely and communicate well with what my son gets up to every day. They ring me if he is upset or unsettled. They do good activities with the kids and I believe my son has excelled massively since starting there, he is always so excited to go!

Overall Experience

I can honestly say as a parent I was initially worried about sending my child into another person's care - (trouble letting go I suppose...) but the staff at Kiddi Caru Leighton Buzzard have been nothing short of amazing. My son who is now fast approaching 2 years old is always excited to go to nursery and I can tell he always comes home happy and trying to tell us in his own words how amazing his day has been (bear in mind most of it is his own language!). His confidence and development have come along in leaps and bounds and I couldn't be happier with the nursery and all its staff for taking care of my son and helping him grow into the person he is today.

Overall Experience

My daughter is perfectly happy. But there’s been a lot of movement within the nursery in recent months so I feel as soon as you build a rapport with someone they change. The drop off and collection also need a bit of attention as it can often lead to very long waits or chaotic entries or exits.

Overall Experience
My daughter has attended Kiddi Caru, Leighton Buzzard since November 2021. Due to her being a “lockdown baby” she was very attached to me, my husband and other very close family members. So for her to start nursery was a big thing for her and us as we knew it would be difficult leaving her. It was hard in the beginning leaving her in tears but we knew it was what she needed. The staff were amazing at drop offs which I dreaded at first. But now only a few months on she gets excited as we pull up to the nursery and practically leaps out my arms to go to her nursery teachers, which is so lovely to see.
She has a newfound confidence and she absolutely adores all of her nursery teachers.
I can’t thank all the staff at Kiddi Caru enough for all their support and the care they show for my daughter.
I drop my daughter off knowing that she’s going to have the best time playing, learning and in the safest of hands.

We love this nursery! Thank you Kiddi Caru!

Overall Experience

My almost 3 year old little boy absolutely loves going to Kiddi Caru in Leighton Buzzard. He always comes out with a big smile on his face and it's lovely to hear what he's been up to and how much he is learning and progressing. I would highly recommend this nursery. The staff are all really friendly and have helped my son grow in confidence over the last 9 months. He happily chats about the nursery staff at home and is excited on a Monday to go in and see them!

I have two children that attend the nursery. One almost is almost four and one almost two. They both love it. One of them is constantly telling me stories about her lovely teachers and friends. She genuinely cares for her teachers so much. Both children have developed so much from attending the nursery.

Overall Experience

My daughter came to the nursery from July to December and I was really happy with the facilities and the way it is run. We only left the nursery to start preschool. All the staff are really friendly, helpful and most importantly, kind and loving towards the children. They always give me an update on how the day has gone and what she has eaten, which is really helpful as a parent. My daughter was always coming home and showing me what she had learnt. It wasn’t just childcare, it was learning too. The management are always striving to improve things too which I like. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery.

Overall Experience

When looking for a nursery, I knew this was the right place for my son, just the friendliness of the staff, it felt very homely. The staff have been great with my son, always keeping on top of his allergies which is always something an allergy parent worries about. He loved going there, his speech has come on so much and he loves the different activities. Highly recommend.
