Everyone I’ve met has been friendly. My daughter loves them all. Peter the Rabbit is a firm favourite, as are the fish. Very helpful when needed advice.

All the staff show genuine interest in my child. The active play is always planned and educational, not to mention fun! My son loves going to school and has developed socially, his speech and motor skills have also improved. I would recommend Kiddi Caru for any parent without hesitation.

We have just recently enrolled our little toddler into the nursery and so far have been extremely satisfied. All the staff, along with the management appear very friendly, organised and helpful; always smiling and this shows as all the children appear happy, content and cared for. Our little one has
settled in very well, interacting with others and enjoying all the delicious meals he has. So far so great. Keep up the good work everyone and thank you.

My daughter attends full time and she loves it. I absolutely recommend to my friends and family and everyone who looks for an amazing place to care for your children. Great value for your money too. All staff is very friendly. Kiddi Caru (Walnut Tree) is an amazing nursery and despite not having huge
outside space they do their best to make most of it for children. Thank you all for the care and education you are providing for my daughter!

Review from Laura C (Mother of Child) published on 12 October 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son really enjoyed his time here. After moving from Liverpool, he fit in really well and made loads of friends (that he now goes to school with) he loved his nursery nurses who were amazing, spent one on one time with him as well as group activities.


He was always talking about nursery and still

asks to go back and see everyone. One nursery nurse, in particular, was his favourite and I thought it was brilliant that they had a male nursery nurse (as my son comes from 2 families full of women) he really listened to all the stories he had.


I couldn’t have found a better nursery for him to attend. They really love all the children in there and I felt that my son was safe there. Thank you so much for all the work you do and tantrums you deal with, I couldn’t be more appreciative of everything you all do. Thank you.

Review from Konstantina T (Mother of Child) published on 22 May 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We came to the UK two years ago. At the time my daughter was 15 months old and I wanted her to learn the language as soon as possible. However, I was also hesitant as I had never left my child in anybody else's care before and was not sure which nursery was best for her to attend. I enrolled her
at Kiddi Caru in Walnut Tree, still unsure if it was the right nursery.


After two years of my child going to this nursery, I can say with certainty that the work the staff are doing is fantastic and my child has learnt skills that I would not have imagined she would have gained at that young age. She learnt how to function more independently, learned the language and became more social. The staff are friendly and supportive and actually do activities that help children develop skills. Last but not least, the manager has always been by our side catering to our needs. I would most definitely recommend this nursery.

We are happy and satisfied with this nursery. Our son does always look very happy there. The only negative is, that morning staff seem to be very busy so they don't look welcoming enough for kids.

It has been a very positive learning experience for my son since he entered Kiddi Caru Nursery, Walnut Tree. All the staff are very caring and attentive to the needs of the children under their care. My son loves to come to this nursery as he gets to play in their garden, has a lot of toys to choose
from and he enjoys the play activities. Overall, my son has improved a lot because of the care, support, and dedication of the nursery staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've got 2 kids, one of them is 3 months and the other is 3 years. I am working full-time. When I was thinking of going back to work and leaving my little baby with someone else, I was scared. What would be my choices? nanny or babysitter. Then I made a visit to Kiddi Caru Nursery. I was very hesitant.
How can I leave my kids in a nursery? but I made the decision. I can't explain, how do I feel? I am very happy. They take care of my sons better than me! Clean, food with different types, etc. Very good education is provided to my older boy and a lot of care to my little one, he is now 9 months. I highly recommend Kiddi Caru for every family who is concerned about their kids.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.212)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.212) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Walnut Tree, Milton Keynes is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.542 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Walnut Tree, Milton Keynes is calculated as follows: ( (120 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.542
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.67 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Walnut Tree, Milton Keynes is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.8
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 69 number of registered child places is 13.8. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.8 = 0.87
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
