My daughter has been at Kiddi Caru almost a year and will soon be going up to the next stage. She has thrived since being there. Very engaging, entertaining and well fed. She loves the outdoor area and is regularly changed due to all the fun and messy activities they carry out. Although it seems like
a large and 'industrious' nursery, once they are within their rooms it is personal and has a more inclusive feeling. The benefits of being a larger nursery is they cater extremely well to dietary requirements, they have a very large, well equipped and varied outside space, and in addition, they have access to a large pool of staff whom have many creative ideas and fun activities for the kids.

Both of our kids have been to this nursery. It is more like a family. Our older one still loves visiting and sharing his school experiences with his nursery time carers. Love the outdoor space they have and fun activities they arrange for kids. Highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our child started in the baby room and progressed up to the 2yr to 3yr old room.


The staff were always very friendly and helpful, even when she was under the weather. The first two rooms were excellent and provided fantastic care, since moving up to the larger age group, we felt there has been

less structured learning within the room and too many children in a smaller area.


Overall Kiddi Caru is a nice nursery and we were very happy with the service they provided.

My daughter has attended the nursery from April of this year and I have been extremely happy with the care she has received. My daughter has some medical issues which the staff in the Swan Room have been amazing with. Every time I pick her up she is happy and I’m sure if she could talk she would say
so herself! The nursery is also very very clean and they have an in-house chef which is amazing as my daughter eats all her food! The Swan Room have their own baby garden which is great, they get to take part in sing and sign and they have a great sensory room! One other thing to top it all off, she never comes home dirty! They clean their clothes when necessary and wipe their hands and faces. The best nursery I’ve experienced so far.

Both my boys love Kiddi Caru! They go off happily in the morning without a backwards glance and when I pick them up in the evening it takes ages to get away from playing. One of my favourite aspects is the amount of outdoor space and time the kids spend outside. All the staff are wonderful and have
made really strong connections with them both and I am amazed by the progress they are making.

Such lovely staff, my son took to them all straight away. They comforted him when he started and was unsettled and by the time he left he was sad to go. He’s learnt so much and has come on with play and speech in leaps and bounds.

Review from Carly B (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My partner and I are over the moon with Kiddi Caru. As most parents are, we were very nervous about leaving our precious son with anybody but the staff here soon put us at ease. They are all so friendly and genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. We are lucky to have a very chilled out little boy but
I have friends whose children are more anxious but even they settled well.
The activities throughout the day are varied, as is the food. We never worry about our son's safety and are always informed if he bumps his head etc. Kiddi Caru are able to administer Calpol which is a massive help as some nurseries don't. Their opening times are brilliant and the Newsletter and Parents Evenings really help keep us in the loop. The facilities are wonderful and I can't ever imagine the children getting bored!


Overall I would rate this nursery 10 out of 10. A big thank you to all the wonderful staff. You certainly have a tough job but you do it so well!

The excellent caring attitude shown by the staff has impressed me very much alongside the impressive outdoor facilities which are so important to small children. The overall impression is very good with lots for the children to do, both on their own and together with the staff either on an individual
basis or in groups. My son only goes to Kiddi Caru one day a week and almost always seems to have enjoyed his time there at the end of the day when he is collected.

Staff are very attentive to those children settling in either to the nursery or a new room within the nursery. Staff are always bright eyed and bushy tailed with the children which is so important! In both rooms we have experience of the children are stimulated by a wide variety of activities and seem
very happy.
We love that the children go outside every day and the outside space is excellent. The inside spaces are bright and clean and our daughter looks forward to her time there so a thumbs up from her!!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.619)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.619) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Burgess Hill is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.619 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Burgess Hill is calculated as follows: ( (273 Excellents x 5) + (82 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 381 Ratings = 4.619
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Burgess Hill is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
