The nursery itself has good facilities, including a great little playground which they loved to ride around on their bikes. Both have come away from Kiddi Caru as independent, sociable children well ready to start school.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Every staff member I have spoken to has been friendly and taken an active interest in my child even the ones from different groups and admin teams.
The nursery itself has a sensory room and an excellent range of activities. My little girl comes home with a full tummy and a lot to say. Her days are always varied and I get a full lowdown of her day when I pick her up. I trust the staff completely and think they do an amazing job!
My second son started there in September last year, and he loves going to nursery. The staff are wonderful, warm and caring, with a great attitude, they created a nurturing atmosphere, and you can tell that our little ones are well looked after. It was the perfect introduction for my son to the nursery setting, for which I am very grateful.
I would recommend Kiddi Caru Chelmsford to anyone looking for a nursery. My girls start school in September and I am going to miss Kiddi Caru so much.
Thank you for the amazing care, love and fun you have all provided to my children over the last 5.5 years. You are all amazing!
Brilliant nursery attended by both of my children. Staff are friendly and attentive and have bonded really well with my daughter.
The nursery has good facilities and works well within its city centre location. The nursery has a strong leader that runs the nursery and this leadership filters well into the rooms and staff.
The staff retention levels are high having had a child at the nursery across the last 4 years this helps with the friendly atmosphere and high standards they maintain.
It is not the cheapest nursery but the location and quality of care are probably the best in local area and worth paying for.
Kiddi Cary Chelmsford is a kind, warm and caring learning environment. They are great at getting to know the children they care for and are genuinely interested in those they care for. It’s a wonderful feeling having a child so eager to go to nursery to learn and play because of the people that work there.
Very friendly stuff. This nursery has every different program for kids. My daughter loves it, that’s important for me.
This was the first nursery my son went to and I was a bit nervous about how he would cope. I needn't have worried, they took a lot of time to get him (and me) settled and now every day he's raring to go and get there to spend time with his friends.
The nursery is well run with friendly and helpful staff. Since my daughters joined they have both settled in well and developed a great rapport with the staff.
This is a really great nursery with lots of care and attention paid to the children and their individual needs, even as they grow older and the staff ratios change. All of the staff know my child and she is happy and well settled here. She does lots of messy play and is growing into a lovely child, in large part thanks to the staff here and the time they devote to her. She loves the food and eats vegetables better since she started attending. Every time we have had an issue, the nursery staff have been really open and supportive. They seem to have seen it all before and know how to support the parents as well as the children. As a bonus, they also supported our use of cloth nappies and early potty training of our daughter.
I am happy that I met and chose this excellent team. I saw great progress in my child who surprised me every day with something new that they had learnt! Thank you and we will gladly recommend!
My daughter has attended Kiddi Caru in Chelmsford for the past four years. Within this time she thrived, developed and became such a lovely little girl. They say it's all down to the parents but most of her days were spent at nursery. As parents, we could not have asked for a more dedicated, nurturing and supportive team. For this, we are truly grateful.
The one complaint I do have is the buggy room. Could this somehow not be monitored? Parents are not collapsing buggies at all, making an already tight space practically impossible.
Thank you for your feedback on the buggy store. When you have time please remember our nursery management team’s door is always open. If you would like to discuss this further with any suggestions and recommendations.
The menus vary and the team, especially the Manager, seem to genuinely care about the children.
Our only criticism is that sometimes the activities appear so wild the clothing is ruined by paint/foam etc.
When you get a chance please speak to our nursery management team about suitable clothing for little ones at nursery, as they do tend to take part in lots of messy play, which is great for so many educational benefits.
Flexible hours, friendly staff and great location. They have flexible hours and in general have been very helpful to help our child settle. I would recommend.
My child really enjoys her time at nursery at Kiddi Caru. She enjoys playing with sand, blocks and playing with dolls. The carers give me a little report of what she has been up to during the day which I always look forward to.
The staff are brilliant! Really friendly and appear to genuinely care. They’re organised and professional. My son comes home clean and well fed, he appears to love the food!
They do plenty of fun activities with the children, from messy play to cooking to playing outside in the garden (and lots more!). A generally fun environment for the children!
The nursery is very well run and all management staff are friendly and approachable. I highly recommend!
My little boy has loved attending Kiddi Caru for the last 3 years. Highly recommend the great team in Chelmsford.
Very happy with Kiddi Caru. They are very friendly and accommodating and do so many activities with the children. My daughter loves going there and she made so many friends. I would highly recommend this nursery.
