Kiddi Caru Whiteley, a GrandirUK Day Nursery

Our little girl loves going to nursery here. The staff are great and seeing the updates on Tapestry of their activities is brilliant. The menu is varied and healthy. The outside space is amazing and one of the main reasons we were interested. Would highly recommend.

My daughter loves going to nursery every day, she gives her nursery worker a big hug every time she goes in, without a backward look. She gets to do lots of fun developmental play and enjoys the Nursery experience.

When our second child came along we looked at other nurseries but did opt for Kiddi Caru purely for convenience, due to dropping and collections at school and nursery. I know we are in strange times but there is no personal feel to the nursery, no care it seems as if you pay for what you get. The app has only just been updated with months worth of input, it seems to have been forgotten about. No real updates are given besides “they had a great day!” Written days notes are sparse. I am glad we have chosen to place our child elsewhere from age three as Kiddi Caru do not seem to bring the children on as well as they advertise, like the French advertised! I would not recommend this nursery to anybody on my dealings recently.

We would just like to thank you, every one of you, for everything this year. My child enjoys coming to nursery so much every day, and she is learning and developing into an amazing little girl (albeit with a few off days!) but it is down to your care, education and support of her, so thank you. We are also grateful for the support you have given us during this difficult year.

I would highly recommend Kiddi Caru in Whiteley.

My daughter loves her time at kiddi Caru. The staff are fantastic with her. She has some medical needs and they always look after her amazingly!

I find I need to prompt on what I believe should be pretty basic care sometimes i.e. twice in the last month on collecting my son have I pointed out that children have their shoes on the wrong feet. Every day my son is in I have to expressly ask for cream to be put on patches of red irritable skin around his mouth (where he dribbles or eats) if I don’t ask, staff don’t think to do it themselves and he gets really sore. My biggest frustration is that I get such limited information on what my son has done all day on collection, all I hear is “we’ve played in the garden”. And if I probe for information I get met with blank faces. I’d like an actual update on what he’s done all day but I never get any information. I’d like to know what activities he’s done, what he enjoyed or didn’t show interest in, what targets or themes they are focusing on this week etc. this issue is further aggravated by the fact that I was promised a parent app would be implemented in August 2017......still waiting!

I would prefer a little more of an update at the end of the day about what activities he is doing. For example, I have noticed his counting is very good, but I wasn't aware he was being taught or how they do this.

My son loves nursery and they do such a great job at Kiddi Caru. I never worry about him on his nursery days and he learns so much - they work hard on various skills for the children in a fun, safe environment. The staff are amazing, my son has loved all of his key workers and all staff in each of his rooms. I really recommend Kiddi Caru Whiteley!

The people make this Nursery great, my little girl loves one staff member in particular and you genuinely get the feeling this member of staff (and the other staff) love her, the smile on my little girls face when she sees her makes it worth taking her there.

Really appreciate the staff in Dolphin room.

Outside term time it's great that you work 7 am-6.30 pm, perfect for our needs.

Great nursery with lovely staff who makes children’s time there lovely. My little one loves coming in and is always happy when picked up.

I am happy that I chose this nursery for my daughter. I could not made a better choice. She has developed so much and she is so happy here.

My little one loves attending nursery and has learnt so much. All staff are lovely but especially her key carer who we know she loves and is happy to go to her in need. We know she is in safe hands.

Lovely place for my children to be looked after and develop. Staff are friendly, supportive and helpful.

I would definitely recommend this nursery to all parents looking to choose a nursery.

My little girl is always happy to be dropped off in the morning. Staff is always friendly and helpful, happy to answer any questions. It’s great to see that my little one has been enjoying every day since starting the nursery in September.

Excellent nursery, with caring staff that my little boy really enjoys attending. The range of activities, both indoor and outside is well balanced.

Both of our children attend Kiddi Caru, Whiteley and we could not be happier. All of the staff are happy, caring and knowledgeable. Nothing is too much trouble. Both of our children have developed both socially and academically since starting. We honestly couldn't recommend them enough.
