Our son has been at Burgess Hill Kiddi Caru for 2 years and loves it. All his carers have been amazing with him, really getting to know him and going out of their way to make sure he is stimulated and happy. He has developed hugely with their help all in an incredibly friendly and supportive atmosphere.
Thank you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm immensely happy with how my child is cared for and encouraged to learn at Kiddi Caru. Their staff are enthusiastic, attentive and caring, as well as well educated and trained about children's developmental needs. My child is encouraged to engage with a well-rounded approach to educational development
as well as social skills and personal hygiene, with a wide variety of activities to engage in, including art, the natural world, singing, dancing, story telling, numeracy, and basic writing skills. The parent evenings hosted by Kiddi Caru on a regular basis provide high quality information on how my child is progressing with aspects of development and an opportunity to see examples of artwork and writing undertaken. The seasonal weekend events the nursery runs are well run, well catered and well attended. The kitchen at Kiddi Caru also does a great job of catering for my child's (quite difficult!) food intolerance's. I know my child is in good hands when spending time at the nursery.

All three of our children have attended Kiddi Caru, where they have each received personal, individual care from every staff member responsible for their care. Each have / do love going and the experience they have there. We also note that our children are very well-developed in their social, eating,
play, health, fitness and learning skills, which prepares them well for life outside, at home and at school.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. The girls have done an amazing job of looking after my daughter and alleviating any worries or concerns I may have. The staff pull out all the stops to accommodate my child when I ask for a slot last minute and try to fit her in if possible.
What makes me happiest
is that my child enjoys the food and eats well and when we pull into the car park she has a smile on her face and is obviously excited about going to the nursery that day.


Well done ladies on doing such a great job of looking after our children when we can’t!

Our daughter has been attending the nursery for the past year and looks forward to going every week, always talking about her keyworkers and her friends. Any small issues we have had, have been rectified immediately with no fuss and I would recommend Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Burgess Hill to anyone that
asked.

I couldn’t recommend Kiddi Caru enough. We moved my son to Kiddi Caru after we became unhappy with his previous Nursery and I only wish we had done it sooner. My son is now a different child to 6 months ago. He’s is so much more confident, is bubbly, happy and now loves going to Nursery. He used to
cry every time we even mentioned the ‘nursery’ word. Since moving him to Kiddi Caru, he asks when he next going! We couldn’t be happier!

I’m really happy with Kiddi Caru, my son took a while to adjust as he only comes one day a week but his Key worker in Geese and the other girls have done such a great job getting him settled in, he loves it now! I really feel like his key worker really cares about him and he’s always happy when we leave.
I would recommend the nursery to others and have done to friends already. Thank you for all your hard work and looking after my boy so well x

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When my daughter started nursery she was obviously a little apprehensive and would cry when being left but once the day got started would be fine. She was always fairly confident and happy but over the last few months the change in her has been amazing and that has mostly been down to the brilliant
staff. Not that my daughter was ever naughty, fussy or unhappy but she has grown into becoming very focused, kind and caring as well as eating so much better. That's the way my wife and I try to bring up our kids and that is being replicated at the nursery. My daughter absolutely loves the staff and the way they interact with her, she's doesn't stop talking about them and her friends at nursery, which is very pleasing to hear. All this was highlighted when I went to her parent's evening and spoke to her key workers who I can't praise highly enough for the job they do as I know they go above and beyond to make my daughter happy and enjoy the whole experience. Thank you!

We are extremely happy with Kiddi Caru - our little boy loves it there and enjoys it immensely! He also learns a lot about many different things and is always excited to tell us what he has learnt. He loves the food and enjoys playing with all the books and toys. The staff are wonderful with him and
are always happy and helpful, we couldn't recommend it highly it enough.

I cannot recommend Kiddi Caru enough, wonderful staff and facilities. Both of my children are so happy there, they both love going and have very fulfilled days. I know both boys are looked after emotionally and mentally and will certainly be ready for school! It's like being part of one big family.
Keep up the great work everyone! The chef must get a mention as well, as the food that is provided is wonderful and very nutritional.

Kiddi Caru provides a safe and nurturing environment for my child. He has thrived under their supervision and loves to attend preschool. His days are varied and full of fun. He has made many friends and learnt skills that will provide him with confidence when he transitions to school. The nursery takes
great care in meeting the child's individual needs and addresses any problems working with the parents. The facilities are excellent and children make good use of the great outdoor space.

My daughter has been attending this nursery and preschool since she was 9 months old. I cannot express how wonderful all the staff are, the activities provided and the overall running of the nursery. My daughter loves coming here. The nursery does a wonderful job of encouraging the children to find
their passions and gives them so many opportunities to learn and grow. We chose this nursery initially as my husband worked nearby, however even when his job took his commute much further away there was no doubt that we would keep our daughter here until she left for school, even though we live in Eastbourne. The children are provided with fantastic food, outstanding care and a huge range of fun and educational activities. It really is the best.

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery (Burgess Hill) is a fantastic place for my son. He joined the Swan room in November and fully in January of this year and he absolutely loves it. From the warm, friendly and caring staff to the food to the activities he's involved in. He's happy when I drop him off and when I
collect him. The staff in reception are happy welcoming and friendly and always make time to help/answer any of my questions. I have complete peace of mind leaving my son in the caring hands of the Kiddi Caru team. I am so glad I selected this nursery for him. Thanks to everyone who works so hard to make this a great place for children!

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.
