Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been very impressed with Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Burgess Hill, over the past 2 years that my children have attended. The staff are always polite, patient and happy, first thing in the morning and last thing at night. My children have been well cared for and speak very fondly of all the staff.
All staff make an effort to get to know each child, even if they don't work with them every day, making it feel like a big extended family.


Children get involved with lots of different things every day, adding to their personal development, and are always coming home telling me of the fun things they've been up to. Food is excellent and varied - my daughter eats better at nursery than at home! And they cater for dietary requirements very well - providing oat milk and dairy and soya free foods for my daughter who is intolerant. I have recommended this nursery to friends in the past and will continue to do so, we love it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a wonderfully friendly nursery where every member of staff knows my child by name and greets us cheerfully each morning. There is a fantastic array of activities every day and the artwork that comes home is always topical and cleverly done. I'm impressed with the menu varieties offered and often
surprised by what she has eaten. My child really enjoys her time at Kiddi Caru and has made some firm friends with both her peers and her carers. It is so important to know she is happy and well cared for while she's at the nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I love this nursery! From the staff members in the office to the carers. They are all wonderful!
From the first day I dropped my sons off at nursery I felt completely confident and assured they would not only be well looked after but have huge amounts of fun too!
My sons have both formed great bonds
with their key carers and have flourished in this wonderful environment.
I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery. In fact, I rave about it regularly to anyone who will listen!
Thank you all for taking such amazing care of my boys.

Review from Lauren D (Mother of Child) published on 1 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son is 8 months old and attends Kiddi Caru Nursery 2 days a week and adores being there, he has fantastic bonds with all of his carers and loves the social interaction of watching all of the other children too.
He is learning new things every day and this is down to the fantastic activities which
are on offer in the setting, I can tell that he has lots of fun because of the amount of mess he gets himself into and the fantastic photographs and artwork which get sent home of him covered in paint!
The staff are all so lovely, caring and were so understanding towards me as a new first-time mum nervous about leaving my child so young due to having to return to work and have always put me at ease.
If you want somewhere where your child will feel happy, comfortable and will thrive with the fantastic resources and outstanding outdoor environment then I couldn't recommend the nursery highly enough!

This is an excellent nursery with the best facilities. In comparison to other nurseries, Kiddi Caru is the best in all aspects. Staff have all been very attentive and listening to our needs and development focus areas. Food is cooked freshly in the kitchen by chef, outdoor space is plentiful in size
and activities to play (our son loves the outside). And the building is a modern purpose built facility great for kids of all ages. All staff and kids seem happy!

Kiddi Caru offers a great environment for children to learn and play in - lots of spacious and well-resourced rooms and a lovely large and green outdoor space. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and even though it has been hard leaving our little person for the first few months, we have always been
confident that he is in good hands and will have lots of fun.

Review from Louise R (Mother of Child) published on 19 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my sons have been to this nursery (my oldest is now at school) and have both had a brilliant time. They do lots of activities, learning and make lots of friends. The staff are always very welcoming and are encouraging in the pre-school room for the children to be independent in some areas, in preparation
for school. At the end of each day he is full of chat of what he has done that day.

An excellent nursery with wonderful facilities, for example, the sensory room. The garden is absolutely brilliant too.
All the staff go out of their way to ensure your children are happy and well cared for. I am delighted with the way my children have grown in confidence and progressed developmentally
since they started.

The nursery is excellent. Our son absolutely loves it and can't wait to go every morning and he sometimes cries when he has to leave!
The care is second to none and everyone there couldn;t be more kind and helpful.

Our son is now in preschool and has been in Kiddi Caru since he turned one.
we've been so happy with the care he has had here. The staff have always been wonderful and have helped to make our son the considerate, inquisitive boy he is. The range of activities on offer is broad and I have always had
full confidence that his days are interesting and aiding his development. The facilities are clean and well equipped and the food choices are excellent! I have recommended it to anyone who is looking for a nursery. Outstanding.

I cant rate Kiddi Caru in Burgess hill highly enough. My daughter is nearly three and has been there since she was nine months old. She only goes once a week but they have all been absolutely fab. All the staff are so lovely and I couldn't be happier to send my daughter there. When my daughter had just
turned one she had an incident when she choked on a piece of apple and it was down to the quick thinking and reaction of the staff that helped my daughter dislodge the apple quickly and efficiently with ultimately saved her life. Fantastic place!

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.
