A really positive experience. Staff are super lovely and accommodating, and I feel comfortable and confident leaving my child in their care. This nursery is super thoughtful from a community, eco-friendly and inclusive perspective, which I love. My child has lots of fun when at daycare and participates in a variety of activities. They also provide progress reports on the development of the child, which I find super helpful as it lets me know the type of activities and learning going on in the nursery. The only minor thing I wish was a little better was more regular picture updates of my child day to day. I strongly recommend this setting.

The events they run are amazing and I don’t know of another nursery locally that offers these opportunities to see your child in the setting.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's so great to read that your little one is thriving with us! We strive to build strong, supportive partnerships between home and nursery, and maintaining regular and informative communication is such an important part of this.
Can't speak highly enough of the team that help and support our son during his early years. He thoroughly enjoys his time here and knows all his key people by name. They always come up with new and engaging ideas to help him nurture and grow. They go above and beyond, their care and consideration make learning fun. I would happily recommend this nursery to any new parent looking to enrol their child.

Brilliant nursery and preschool. Always friendly and make all children feel welcome. My child has certainly benefited from going to Kiddie Caru Day Nursery Bedford. I would recommend Kiddi Caru to anyone looking for a nursery. It is quite sad that this is the end of this era.

My son has joined Bedford Kiddi Caru since September 2022 and he’s had a great time so far. The simple logic is happy child = happy parents. Thank you for keeping him engaged in a healthy way. He’ll be spending extra days starting next week and I am hoping he’ll be encouraged to toilet train during this continuous stay before the next term.
