About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Absolutely fantastic nursery and preschool, they have an interest in the children in their care. They are very supportive of special requirements for children, with dietary requirements and also health care. This is when things needed like creams, whether that is normal cream or specialised prescription cream. My little one decided on which preschool to attend, and she absolutely loved being at Kiddi Caru. She loved all the activities and learning about different things and playing outside. This preschool is amazing at helping when families are going through difficult situations, including separations.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our passionate teams work incredibly hard to provide exceptional childcare and education for all our families. We're glad your little one had such a great time with us!
Our daughter loved it going there.
There is amazing team and management.
We would recommend it to anyone looking for a daycare nursery in the area as they really go beyond everything.

Kiddi Caru staff have always been amazing, and our children have always enjoyed their days at nursery. The food is varied, and there are always activities planned. We look forward to the reintroduction of parent's evenings, so great we can discuss our children’s development in more detail.

My son loves it there and has since day 1 they do so much in the form of fun that is helping the kids learn on so many levels.
Staff always seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs and the children too.

We really like our experience so far after putting our child into this nursery. All the staff are very nice and helpful. The facilities are great and the food menus look great. The outdoor space and equipment look like great fun for the children. I would highly recommend it.

The staff are very attentive and caring, making you feel at ease when you leave your child. They keep me up to date on what my child is doing via the app online. They also take more time to understand Boran as English is his second language. Definitely recommend.

I could not be happier with Kiddi Caru. My daughter loves going there, and it's plain to see that her time there has done wonders for her learning and development, far beyond what I would expect of someone her age. The staff are all so pleasant any time I go there, and my daughter always says what...
When Covid shut everything down, I was so impressed with everything Kiddi Caru did to ensure everyone's safety once they were allowed to reopen. Times have been challenging for everyone, but the nursery always managed to exceed expectations to keep providing continued care while other places had to remain closed.
I would recommend Kiddi Caru to anybody in a heartbeat. I feel they have played a massive part in giving my daughter the absolute best start and foundation for her future education.

My daughter currently attends Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Basingstoke, and she is so happy. My older son also thrived here. The staff have been nothing but amazing, despite challenges thrown their way by the pandemic. The fact that the children have felt safe throughout speaks volumes.

All staff are very helpful and considerate, and always have the best interests of the children at the heart of what they do. Our daughter often comes home telling us what she has done that day and how the staff took part. All issues are raised sensitively and staff are happy to give advice if asked.

Kind, compassionate, and caring staff - what more could you want from the people looking after your child. I was so nervous about my little girl starting nursery but they gave her and me so much reassurance and time. I cannot thank them enough.

A really wonderful nursery. All the staff are friendly, they really care about your child and their progress. We are always kept up to date on how our child is doing and what they have been up to during the day. My daughter absolutely loves her carers and loves going to nursery. It is so nice to take her in and know that she will be well looked after. It’s always hard to leave your baby but it makes it easier knowing that a lovely team of people are looking after them. I highly recommend this nursery.

I was nervous about going back to work and leaving my 5-month-old in a nursery, but he absolutely loves it! The sweet pea room is educational and fun for the young ones. A special shout out to two members of staff who made me feel at ease and clearly really care for the babies in their care.

I currently have two children at the nursery, and I am so happy I chose Kiddi Caru. My son has always struggled with separation from me, but I am so happy with how the staff at Kiddi Caru have helped him - this helped with my decision for childcare for my youngest. I am impressed with how much learning they do and the variety of food, and I love the new parent app where you can see what they get up to. Thank you, Kiddi Caru Basingstoke.

The staff are always so friendly. My child enjoys her time in the nursery with so many toys around. I feel secure putting her in their care during the day. They always tell us how the day went. Most days, it's a good day with no meltdowns at teatime. Excellent.

He only goes a couple of days a week but you can tell the difference, he is learning more social skills and some of the artwork we get is super cute.
COVID has hit us all pretty bad the past few years but Kiddi Caru has managed to keep things operating as smoothly as possible for us parents.
Would highly recommend!

My daughter started nursery in March and after settling in sessions struggled to settle as this was her first experience in a childcare setting. The staff went above and beyond to make her feel safe and help her to settle into the nursery. We have noticed her development progress after a few short months at the nursery in terms of social skills, concentration on tasks, and drawing. We cannot thank the wonderful staff enough. Would definitely recommend Kiddi Caru Basingstoke.

Since my daughter started nursery a few months ago I've had a huge amount of support from the team who looks after her. I was very nervous to be leaving her and returning to work as little one is a contact napper and was breastfed and refused bottles, but the team have been amazing and helped little one settle within about a week. They give excellent updates at the end of every day and keep you informed if things do go off track.
