Since my son started at nursery a month ago they have been extremely helpful and helped him ease in to being at nursery. They have given us a lot of additional support due to my son being disabled and have shown us they are giving him the additional care he requires. He has improved so much in the short
time he has been there. I am very happy that i chose Kiddi Caru for my sons nursery and would recommend them to anybody.

We have had our 3 year old son at Kiddi Caru since he was 9 months old and never had any issues with this nursery.


Management can never do enough for you & there's always someone in the office at key points in the day if you have any concerns.


The range of activities and range of food is really

good and there's always something for everyone!


The staff are friendly and really care for the children in the rooms.


I would highly recommend this nursery to families who are wanting to send their child.

I can't rate kiddi caru enough. I've had previous experience with a local nurserys and worked in nursery settings. From the moment you walk through Reception staff are warm and welcoming. Every member of staff in all classes knows my child and always make efforts to acknowledge her making her feel welcome
and safe which puts my mind at ease they definitely go above and beyond to familiarise themselves with the children. I'm kept informed throughout the day on exactly what she's doing, eating, what kind of nappies she's had and when she is sleeping. Staff always make time to hand over at the beginning and end of the day. My child is always fed really well and always clean and dry when I pick her up. Staff go above and beyond with the huge range and variety of activities they put on for the children through out the day to keep them happily engaged and occupied. All the children in the room are occupied and content when I pick my child up. Very clean very organised. Amazing nursery.

Our daughter has been in the nursery since she was 8 months old and is now about to turn 2. She really enjoys going to nursery and always has a smile on her face at pick up. She is always learning new things at nursery which amaze us. I love the fact she eats things we do not have at home so always
gets the chance to try new foods. She loves the outdoor area as well as all the different toys inside. We have never had an issue with any members of staff at the nursery and find everyone we come into contact with approachable and helpful. I recommend this nursery to everyone,

I really do rate this nursery! The staff are so welcoming and brilliant with children. I only really know the Bumblebee staff, but even when walking through all the staff say 'hello' and acknowledge you - which is lovely. You can really tell they care about the children and their welfare and wellbeing
always comes first. I feel reassured and relaxed leaving my daughter here when I go to work.

The new addition to the team has definitely made a major positive change. I refer to the new ideas brought, activities and most importantly parents being updated almost daily with pictures, descriptions of certain activities or games. Also, I like that new staff has been assigned in the room bringing
warmth, compassion and positive vibes, making transition for my little one much easier and enjoyable.

My daughter has only started Kiddi Caru Nursery beginning of May, she is 17 months, she seems to enjoy it, quite bubbly for most of evening at home after, full of energy too. The nursery seems nicely presented with the different areas for different children ages. Clean, friendly staff. Good play area
outside for children too.

Overall the facilities and staff are good. Some staff are particularly caring and ensure that all the children’s needs are met. I really like the social interaction and learning that takes place. Food is satisfactory, but there could be better choices.

My toddler has been with Kiddi Caru since she was 7 months old and has always loved nursery and the practitioners. Despite historical staffing issues the ladies who run the rooms all seem to genuinely love working with children and my toddler has developed really lovely relationships with her regular
carers. The nursery has been really helpful in assisting with multiple allergies and done well to assure me as a mum that my toddler is well taken care of at meal times. My toddler is always happy to see different activities set up in the morning and loves the outside space and occasional trip out of the nursery. We're really happy with our choice of nursery and whilst costs for childcare are high they are very transparent about costs and their standard of care is worth it.

My son has only been there for two months and I’m already not happy with the setting. Every time I’ve gone to pick him up, I have had the nursery staff complain to me that he hasn’t been listening and keeps running in the room, bearing in mind he is only 2 and doesn’t understand what he’s doing wrong.
I have also felt judged as a parent as I had been told that they think I’m not telling him to stop when he’s at home which is completely wrong of them to think that. I just feel the staff are very negative when it comes to feedback and I don’t enjoy picking him up as I’m worried of what I’m going to be told on collection. My son has also come running up to me with a wet top on which I feel they could have changed his top on a few occasions. I have to ask the staff what my son's had at meal times as sometimes they haven’t put them on the app which is what it’s meant to be there for.

All of the staff at Kiddi Caru are exceptional. Our daughter has truly thrived at the nursery, and become a more confident, capable person due to their care and expertise. The only possible improvement I would like to see is more photos on the app.

My daughter always goes happily to all the practitioners at drop-off. Always happy to see familiar faces. At pick up always happy, and smiling, and practitioners always say what happened throughout the day. Really appreciate the use of the app. You can see all the updates as soon as they happen. I can
definitely see the positive change in my daughter after coming to the nursery. She has learned a lot from the practitioners and also from other children.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.615)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.615) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Peterborough is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.615 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Peterborough is calculated as follows: ( (227 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 309 Ratings = 4.615

  • b) 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 Peterborough is based on 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 114 number of registered child places is 22.8, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
