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.

Our two-year-old has been attending Kiddi Caru 2-3 days a week for the last six months. He loves his Nursery days and they have been so good for his development. The staff are kind and obviously really care about every single child they look after. The activities are varied and creative and he eats...
He is our first and I took extended maternity leave so we were quite nervous about putting him in nursery - but Kiddi Caru were so reassuring, we are so relieved to know that we are leaving him in such good hands.
I would definitely recommend this nursery. It is great for the location, our daughter loves it there and the staff are very friendly.

Two of my children attended Kiddi Caru, Chelmsford and they thrived in the nursery environment. Staff are extremely attentive, approachable and well trained. Nursery staff and management truly care for the children and it shows! Both my children formed lovely relationships with the carers and always enjoyed spending time at the nursery. Thank you - it was a pleasure to be part of the Kiddi Caru Chelmsford family for five years.
My son has really enjoyed his time at the nursery and learned so much! We love the variety of activities offered. The staff are lovely and supportive.

My son has been going since just before his first birthday. He is now 3 and his little brother now goes too. In my opinion, the experience becomes less good the older they get. I don't feel that my 3-year-old gets as much out of it as my 1-year-old. My 3 year old tends to do the same activities...
However, the place is clean and the sensory room and garden are brilliant. Also, the food offered is very good and the management is very responsive. Some of the staff are amazing, however, I get the feeling some don't really like adults!

Providing outstanding childcare, in all age groups, is our top priority so if you would like to raise your concerns further, please speak to your Nursery Manager or contact us at Head Office on 0800 208 4500.
The nursery seems excellent so far, it's early days for us but my daughter seems to enjoy it and the staff are lovely. Only comments for improvement I would say are on cleanliness and food. I've noticed parents often wear outdoor shoes in the Snails room and also bring buggies in, although I...
Overall very pleased though.
Thank you for taking the time to review us and we are happy to hear that your little one enjoys nursery. We are sorry to hear your concerns about the cleanliness in the nursery as ensuring that the facilities are clean and hygienic are a top priority, so we will certainly pass your comments onto...

I’m so pleased I chose this nursery for my daughter. I couldn’t be happier. Every morning my little girl (1.5 yrs) runs in and can’t get to her room fast enough! Everyone is so friendly and knows her name and she’s comfortable going to any member of staff. I’m so pleased with her progress and all...

I really couldn’t recommend this nursery more!
My son loves going to nursery and has learnt so much from going. The staff have been great with him and have helped him come a long way.

My little girl has attended Kiddi Caru Chelmsford since she was 9 months old, in this time her interaction with the carers and staff has prepared her well and given her a solid footing in her future education in an environment that is both friendly and structured to each individual child's needs.
She has made many friends that I'm sure she will keep in the coming years, and it is directly because of the environment that the nursery promotes with both the children and carers that has allowed the children to build on these relationships in and out of the nursery.
Overall her time at nursery has prepared her for future education in the coming years excellently, and her confidence to adapt to most situations due to the environment that the nursery promotes has been nothing short of amazing!
Very few complaints to make and any we have had in the past have been dealt with in a professional manner with my child's needs always at the forefront of everyone's minds.
I really like everything about the nursery other than the limited outside space. The kids seem to love it and my son has learnt a lot since he's been there.

My child has been a Caru for the best part of four years and has just celebrated his graduation with his friends and teachers/carers. He loves his time in nursery and continues to learn new things daily. His key carer, in particular, engages him in his interests, often bringing in personal items to discuss with him, whilst continuing to push him to discover new things. The graduation at the weekend was lovingly executed and watching the children you could see how much they all enjoy being at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Chelmsford. I'm sure they shall all be sad to leave.
My son adapted to the school very well and has enjoyed his time there. The school and teachers are very professional and caring towards the kids. I would certainly recommend them to others.

Thank you for being so flexible and also providing us with a space at such short notice.
My daughter is very happy at the nursery and misses her friends and staff when she is not there. I wish that I had known about the nursery so that my eldest daughter could have attended.

It's wonderful to see him having a connection with his key carer, which allows me to get on with my day knowing he is happy!

Attendance at Kiddi Caru had been nothing but educational for my son. Starting from 9 months, he has learnt so much from the basics like crawling and walking through to being a nearly-two-year-old who is learning the intricacies of sharing, taking turns and becoming a little chatterbox. Thank you...

The main positives are a varied selection of activities, especially the crafts and messy activities, a great daily menu and the friends she is making. This combined with an excellent location for pick up and drop off, and very caring carers, for us means there are no negatives.

Our daughter (12 months old) has been attending Kiddi Caru for 6 weeks now and we are so happy with them! The staff are brilliant with the kids and our daughter has really taken to all of her Kiddi Caru carers. They made the transition to nursery so much easier for us as they encouraged me to call during the day to check on her as often as I liked, and every time I call they are so lovely and helpful. The management have also been brilliant to work with, we have found them very thoughtful and considerate in responding to our questions and requests.
Bottom line: our daughter is thriving at Kiddi Caru and we would highly recommend them to anyone!
