We have a fantastic experience of Kiddi Caru in Whiteley. The staff are always friendly and kind and always make us feel so comfortable to leave our child with them. Our little boy is thriving at the nursery and he enjoys coming in to see the three key workers in his room. The nursery displays are always wonderful to come in to in both the entrance and the rooms. My child enjoys eating the food at nursery and there is always a variety to chose from. I have also been impressed with the amount of extra activities that he gets to take part e.g world book day, pancake day etc. He also comes home with some lovely things that he has made for Xmas, Mother's Day, Easter. Thank you so much to all the staff at the nursery especially the key workers in starfish room. Our boy is doing so well and we are so happy with his care. Thank you so much.

My daughter started when she was very young and we have had nothing but praise for this nursery ever since. The baby room staff reassured me so much during the settling in stage and were such lovely genuinely nice individuals. Every room the staff have been amazing and made us feel so content and happy when we send her in knowing she is well looked after and enjoyed. The resources are great and we have even copied some ideas for home. My daughter loves going to nursery, and is always doing something fun there. I am in constant communication with staff and get updates whenever asked. I feel so reassured and trust them with her everyday needs. Every room she has learnt so much and we have build such nice relationships with the staff.

My son's confidence has grown so fast since being at Kiddi Caru and he's so excited every day to go to nursery. The range and quality of meals they provide reassure me that my child is not only getting the nutrition he needs, but also the experience of trying new foods. Communication from the staff has been faultless and I feel confident dropping my son off every day.

Both of my children have attended Kiddi Caru since they were six months old and I have always felt very happy leaving them there. My son is now at school and loved his time at nursery - which I think stood him in good stead for his first year in Reception. My daughter has now spent a year there and walks in without turning back! All of the staff members are lovely and the menu is so varied. The facilities always seem clean and modern, and the place is always decorated brilliantly. There is always a new celebration going on and something different for the kids to engage in.

Didn't settle. Would scream going in, be sobbing before I've picked him up, hysterical when he saw me. Always hungry after nursery. Would scream if he knew he was going to nursery. Was mute at nursery. Been at his new nursery has never once cried going in. Is chatty, has friends, so much...
Didn't settle. Would scream going in, be sobbing before I've picked him up, hysterical when he saw me. Always hungry after nursery. Would scream if he knew he was going to nursery. Was mute at nursery. Been at his new nursery has never once cried going in. Is chatty, has friends, so much confidence. A completely different child as to what he was at Kiddi caru. Google reviews won't accept my review. Likely other parents have seen the light and complained. I feel guilty that I left him at that place. Taking him out was the best thing I've ever done.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool in Whiteley. We are genuinely sorry to hear how difficult the settling-in period felt for both you and your child. Throughout his time with us, our team worked closely with you both to support him in his transition to nursery. While he did take longer to settle, we were pleased to see some positive moments where he began to engage in play and interact with the environment. We observed that he consistently ate well with us and enjoyed many of his meals. However, we do appreciate that our High Tea is served at 3.30pm, which is why we suggest our families continue to offer dinner at home afterwards. If you would like to discuss anything further, please don't hesitate to contact us on 01489 57194.
