Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Writtle, Chelmsford

I feel that the nursery has really helped his development in all areas and it's been really beneficial for him to be around other children. They are always up to something exciting and are always outside which he loves too.

Our daughter loves going to Kiddi Caru Writtle. She gets on very well with the staff and is cared for. The learning is good but they have great fun and learn life skills. The rooms are spacious and clean; outside is also extensive and interesting for the children. Recommended.

Thank you.

My daughter has attended for 5months (since 1year). Facilities excellent - especially the outdoor space, which there is free access to most of the time. She bonded well with her key worker - note key worker initially assigned wasn't the person she ended up bonding with best - nursery noticed this without prompting and changed her designated key worker accordingly. Accommodated individual requests (eg encouraging the use of signs in absence of words) and routines (initially her nap times were different from those of other children in the room - they facilitated her routine for her/us) without complaint. She is always smiley and full-of-beans when we collect her - lots of changes of clothes reflects how much fun she's had! (Painting/sensory play/romping in the garden). The nursery itself is clean and well kept. Staff friendly and approachable. A wide variety of food offered - children are encouraged to sit at the table, assisted in feeding themselves, and encouraged to try new things. Could not recommend more.

We have sent both our sons to this nursery and have always been very pleased with the quality of childcare.

Our eldest son was given excellent support for specific learning needs.

Incidents have been dealt with professionally and taken seriously.

I have seen other nurseries investing in apps which allow parents to keep in touch with their children during the day. This is a 'nice to have' for us and I think on balance I'd prefer the money to be spent on enhancing the child's experience and support while they are there.

My boys always seem happy when I pick them up, they have lots of fun and educational play.

I like the fact that children can get messy and play in the garden.

The staff are all friendly and happy to help.

My son loves his nursery. The staff are so caring and knowledgeable and he is so well looked after.

Both of my children have thoroughly enjoyed attending Kiddi Caru in Writtle. The Staff are friendly, enthusiastic, caring and nurturing. They are always looking for creative and imaginative ways for the children to learn through play and you could not ask for better preparation for the transition from nursery to school.

The outside area is what I think sets it apart from other outstanding nurseries. There is so much space, nature and wonderful activities such as Forest School, to help the children learn and explore.

We are on the countdown to leaving the nursery for school in September and I will be sad to close that chapter of my children's childhood but I could not have asked for more from all the staff at Kiddi Caru.

Both of my children have loved Kiddi Caru, they have always been happy to go and have enjoyed the variety of activities and the caring staff. The outdoor space is amazing and so important, the majority of their time has been spent outside and they have loved 'Forest School.' Thank you Kiddi Caru, Writtle!

I also believe Kiddi Caru has helped my boy to develop in group situations but most importantly he always has a great time there (even if he cries every day when his mum drop's him off)

I find the food is not to my standard, I have friends that attend nurseries with video and picture facilities taken during meals and they are far better from what I have seen at your nursery.

I am also not happy with pudding being served at every meal as this is not a healthy habit to give children. I know you have the option to opt out but it's not really enforceable as the child will see the pudding given to the others and will feel excluded and upset and that's not the point.

Excellent for our child he has progressed so well but are looking forward to him moving into the preschool class.

My daughter (4 years) and son (2 years) both attend Kiddi Caru in Writtle. We have been very happy with the level of care and support they have received there. They really enjoy their days and are supported in their learning by the staff.

Staff interested and involved with my boys development. A really caring atmosphere.

All the staff are lovely! Pre-school is doing great activities with my daughter and her phonics are really improving quickly. She has great fun there and loves going. A fantastic nursery!

My daughter loves attending Kiddi Caru nursery in Writtle. She has been happy there from when she initially started. The staff are all very friendly and really put the needs of the child in their care first. We are always very impressed with the nutritional food, as well as the amount supplied throughout the day. My daughter has really progressed since being at Kiddi Caru Writtle and is very sociable and confident which I believe has a lot to do with her time at nursery.

I would highly recommend the nursery.

Fantastic Nursery, my little boy absolutely loves attending, and always goes in and out with a smile.

Excellent nursery with good standards as per my scoring. I would recommend this to anyone looking to put their children in childcare in Essex.

We moved to the area recently and were worried by the change of nurseries, home and everything for a 4-year-old. The staff at Kiddi Caru have been amazing and made sure that my daughter was included, time spent with her ensuring she was ok, and that she felt like it was a home from home.

My daughter has thrived under the guidance of the teachers on site. She constantly talks to us about them and what she has done throughout the day and even when at home. She likes to pretend that she is one of the teachers teaching us about things that she has learned in the preschool.

The preschool is very well laid out and includes spacious rooms, and most importantly, they are not afraid to go out in cold weather. My daughter loves mixing with the younger children. The food is amazing and even I'm jealous when she tells me what she has had to eat each day!

I would highly recommend this preschool to anyone looking to move to the area.

When you go on holiday for 3 weeks, all the children talk about is missing nursery and their friends.
