Of all the nurseries we looked at, we knew straight away this was the right one for our boy. Lovely staff, made the boy feel comfortable and us in settling him in. Good communication, polite and very helpful, can tell that it’s not just a job to the staff.

From initial registration to settling my little one into nursery, the entire team at Kiddi Caru Writtle have been fabulous! The food options and their nutritional content is great, the indoor/outdoor facilities appear to be of a good standard and the care taken within the classroom including the variety of educational activities is fantastic. I couldn’t recommend the nursery enough!

Good nursery with lovely, friendly staff. Great communication with parents and carers through their new app. Only fault is that I can't always leave my child there for extra sessions. But that's not unusual.

Overall Experience

Writtle College has been perfect for my little girl, she jumps out of my arms when we arrive in the morning. The staff are kind and caring and will make sure your child is made to feel extra special. They keep you updated with all the things they’ve been up to and how they’ve eaten and slept throughout the day. I wouldn’t want my child to go anywhere else.

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

As my son was born during Covid, everything has been an uncertain and stressful experience. Nothing was normal and we just expected the worst in every situation. Since starting at Kiddi Caru Writtle, it’s the first time I’ve not had to worry or second guess my decision. Even since the first tour with the manager around the nursery, I knew he would be in safe hands and they delivered. All the staff made our son feel like one of their own and completely put me at ease with how they have been with him. It’s the best nursery in the area and I haven’t stopped raving to everyone about it.

Review from Hayley B (Mother of Child) published on 25 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our child/children have been attending the nursery since 2019. Throughout lockdown and beyond, the nursery staff have been amazing. They work hard and are dedicated to their children. They always try to accommodate if we need extra sessions, and I feel so comfortable leaving my children there. The nursery has great outdoor space and play facilities. The food is always varied, and they get fed well during the day. I would highly recommend this nursery; the staff really do make it special. We are always greeted with a smile, and all staff know the children's names.

We joined Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Writtle after an upsetting experience at another nursery, so we came in hesitant. However, the whole experience has been wonderful. It feels like one big happy family and that everyone takes pride in their work and genuinely enjoys being with the children which means so much to us. When she comes out, our daughter is always so happy and energised, it's amazing to see.

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Writtle, Chelmsford has an excellent management team, always keeping me up to date with any news and activities within the nursery. My child has always enjoyed attending and learning lots every day for the past two years. I particularly like the large amount of outdoor space and forest school. I have always found the staff to be friendly and accommodating, should there be any concerns. The food and nutrition are also excellent, with a variety of good healthy meals cooked daily, which my child loves.
