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.

Our daughter has particularly loved attending 'Forest school' learning and exploring the great outdoors.

My daughter has been coming to Kiddi Caru since she was 8 months old and she is now turning 4 and she loves it. The nursery has provided a safe, fun environment and I couldn't recommend Kiddi Caru enough. The staff are wonderful and have always made us feel welcome.

Kiddi Caru Writtle was everything I wanted from a nursery for my son. He attended from January 2020 to August 2023 (baby room through to graduating pre-school) and throughout that time received the best care possible. The lovely staff all knew him and seemed to enjoy his company, they catered to his interests and were keen to work with us if there were (rarely!) any problems. They were careful with food preferences (mild tomato allergy as a baby and vegetarian) and the food appeared to be tasty and nutritious. Far more so than the school he's at now! The Forest School and outside space was my main reason for choosing Kiddi Caru, and my son loved spending so much time outside. He also loved the fish in reception, all his key workers and he often asked to go to nursery on non-nursery days. I will remember his time at Kiddi Caru very fondly and am so grateful to all the staff for making it such a lovely experience for him.

Our little boy absolutely loved his time at Kiddi Caru in Writtle. We moved from South Africa in November 2022, and our boy started attending from the 2nd week after we arrived, until it was time to start reception in September 2023. The team did an amazing job helping him to settle in, given the upheaval of moving country, and he thrived. The forest school was his favourite, and he always had lots of stories to tell when he got home. Thank you to the Kiddi Caru Writtle team for their amazing work!
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's fantastic to hear that your little one loved his time here! The settling-in process aims to make children's transition to nursery as smooth as possible. They are supported and encouraged to go at their own pace so they truly feel happy, confident and secure in our nursery environment.
Also, when I do collect my child, all the other children in the class say hello, and it goes...
I love that the nursery is very child-led and encourages children to learn through playing, and they offer balanced healthy meals, which my child loves.

As a first time mum it was really important to me to find the right setting for my daughter when I returned to work when she was 9 months. Kiddi Caru was the place. After viewing multiple nurseries in the local area, I instantly fell in love with the setting. I love their outdoor area and the fact they use it in all weathers. I love the personalised care my daughter receives. She is known by not only the adults within her room, but other adults know her by name also, giving it that family feel. The facilities within the Dormice room are incredible and the activities the children are exposed to on a daily basis are enriching and engaging. The handover after each day is detailed and the information is also put on an app for both parents to see throughout the day. Overall, I’m very happy with the care, love and support the nursery provide my little one. I can rest easy knowing she is in safe hands whilst at work.

I think the nursery offers a great space for the kids to learn, with lots of different actives. The only thing I believe they could do better is now my little one is in preschool, they could help parents or inform parents if they want on areas to improve education, our nursery tells us what he’s been doing and learning, suggesting areas to improve would help me, I do except not everyone will like this!

Our little one has been with Kiddi Caru Writtle for 7 months. I am so impressed with the nursery. The staff are very friendly, helpful and dedicated. They helped our son settle very well. He loves going to nursery so I feel at ease when he’s there. Our little one has an egg allergy but the nursery has been absolutely brilliant with it which is very important to us. There is also ample parking making drop off and pick up very easy. The management team are fantastic, always professional but very understanding and friendly. I can very highly recommend Kiddi Caru Writtle.

The facilities and care are amazing, I feel rest assured having gone back to work that my child is cared for. I viewed a few nurseries and this was by far the best in all aspects. The staff are so friendly and supportive. Her development and progress with feeding has come on leaps and bounds with their practice. I love the app to be able to see what she’s eaten and changed and also photos of what she has been up to in the day. Again, it provides me reassurance. My only negative is, as parents are still expected to pay on bank holidays regardless of their child is in or not, If possible some flexibility would be good with regards to swapping a day for special occasions or circumstances, if there is space on those days. I was told that this is not something the nursery offer.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our team is incredibly passionate about helping children to learn and grow with fun, engaging activities and our specially designed education programmes, so it's great to hear that your little one is thriving with us! Thank you for your feedback, it will be passed on to the nursery team.
Kiddi Caru Writtle is great, with an inclusive mix of engaging staff that are very creative in all the activities provided to the children. There are large outdoor spaces in each of the rooms, chickens, fish and a doggy corner to keep the children entertained. I really recommend it!

We have been very pleased with the consistently high standard of care she has experienced whilst there. The staff are caring and enthusiastic, there is always a wide range of interesting and fun activities for the children to take part in. A highlight is the lovely garden areas and visits to see the chickens! I have been particularly impressed with the food, the menu is creative and has made our daughter happy to try a wide range of food which you wouldn’t typically expect in a childcare setting.
