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.

Both my daughters attend this nursery and are both excited to come.
The girls that look after my daughters have a lovely relationship with them and always welcome them when they come in. In the evening when I collect them, I get a hand over talking about their day and they always do so many different activities, paint, garden, jelly play, dressing up, water and sand. The food is always varied and the girls love it.

My son has really enjoyed his days at nursery and he always comes home happy due to the excellent care given to him by the staff especially his key carer. There is always a range of activities provided for him to develop his learning through play and a wide range of sensory/messy play. He has opportunities to play outside in all weathers and also to access the wonderful sensory room every week.

My daughter started going here at 8 months and has only just left for school. She enjoyed her time there thoroughly and being a working mum, it made me feel better knowing that she was being cared for so well.

This is our second child to finish their nursery/pre-school experience at Kiddi Caru Whiteley. She has attended since 8 months old and we have been incredibly pleased by her time there. She has loved each key-worker and they in turn have become friends. Cannot find anything negative with our experience. After a total of 6 years of using this nursery we are sad to be parting company with them as our child starts school.

We have 2 boys that attend Fareham (Whiteley) Kiddi Caru (20 months and 4 1/2 yrs). The oldest is leaving shortly to go to "big school". The staff are very dedicated and professional yet caring, friendly and conscientious. They cater for all our sons needs in the warm, welcoming and safe environment. There is never any problem in the mornings when we drop them off, which just shows that they really do love their time there. They are getting a really great start in life and it is lovely to see their confidence, knowledge and experiences growing so quickly. The facilities are fantastic and are appropriate the age range in the rooms.
The outdoors space is also fantastic and our boys love it when the meet up with each other outside.
They will miss Kiddi Caru greatly when they leave.
You all have our thanks!
