Amazing! All my experiences with Kiddi Caru have been extremely positive. My daughter attended a couple of years ago and my 2-year-old son now attends. I have always felt comfortable with all staff members and both children did/do really enjoy their time at the nursery. My son's current keyworker is
nothing short of amazing, she works so well with my son and has so much patience, great communication and makes us feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend Kiddi Caru to anyone who is looking for a nursery.

Over the past 3 years, I can not ask any more form this nursery. Both me and my partner are civil servants so we have had to work through this pandemic and they have been so supportive to us throughout. The needs of our daughter are always the most important thing to us and this is what this nursery
does they are amazing for the development of our daughter.

We are happy with the care and learning experience our little boy receives. The staff are always friendly. He only attends one day a week but always comes home happy. Times are difficult at the moment with the restrictions around Covid19 but I feel the nursery could have done more to support more in-depth
feedback at the end of day and in my child's learning in general. At the moment, it feels too rushed. I hope it changes soon.

I have found Kiddi Caru an extremely lovely, friendly and happy environment. The staff are lovely and polite making you feel totally at ease that your child is in safe and experienced hands with all staff holding childcare qualifications. Their safety policies to ensure full safety and protection of
your child is excellent and they keep you well informed with everything including your child's development. Day to day activities and also offer a great range of activities and learning opportunities. My son has a great, fun time there. Couldn't fault any aspect of the nursery. A fantastic efficiently and professionally run establishment.

The nursery is very professional and yet you also feel like family. Every member is very friendly and you can approach very easily. You can ask for advice and they are always able to help. Especially in these difficult times, they have been amazing and understanding. The food is a good variety.
My
son loves his time there.

Amazing nursery, my little boy loves it. Staff are absolutely amazing and genuinely care for each child. Social distancing is also taken seriously. I feel safe leaving my son at the nursery and always keeping us up to date with my son's progress.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved from Egypt back in January. I was worried about finding a good preschool for my little girl. I was lucky enough to come across Kiddi Caru. From the moment I stepped into the reception I knew that this is the place I would want my daughter to be in. Her teachers are amazing, they welcome her
with a warm smile in the morning and always make sure she leaves with a big smile and loads of daily stories to tell. Now, as we are leaving for school, I know we will miss Kiddie Caru so much. It is a bittersweet feeling. Well, the good news is I know where I'm going to be sending my future second child to nursery.

My son has been attending since a year old and from day one loved the setting, staff are caring, stretch the children's imaginations and skills, offer them learning opportunities and encourage the all-round development of the child. All staff know my son and welcome and greet him, they are invested
in his development and work with us as a family to mirror what happens at home. We're so pleased we chose Kiddi Caru.

My daughter has progressed a lot since joining Kiddi Caru in June 2018. You can see that most of the time she is happy there, every day she comes home with a new song or a new experience in the garden. They also have lovely books and toys for the kids and a big variety of food.

I wouldn’t want my little boy to be anywhere else. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I needed for my little boy to start nursery 6 weeks earlier than planned. Everyone at Kiddi Caru we’re amazing and did everything they could to accommodate the change. Since starting, my little boy has come on
leaps and bounds in his confidence and no longer gets upset when I leave in the mornings. All the ladies in Bumblebee’s are absolutely lovely and always greet my little boy with smiles, cuddles and breakfast - which is always a winner.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been welcomed with such kind, genuine and enthusiastic members of staff.
Having relocated from another wonderful nursery that he had been at for two years he has felt even more comfortable and happy from the moment he stepped foot at Kiddi Caru. It has been commented on how well he has
settled but this has been with the assistance of all the amazing staff here. It is so lovely watching my son develop into a kind smart child knowing he is well looked after while I am at work as they seem to really pay attention and observe everything. There are so many activities and fun outside areas where the children can mix. I love the Willow room for 3-3.5-year-olds as this has been perfect for my son and made a huge impact on his confidence rather than jumping straight to pre-school.
The office team are so informative and the staff are incredible - I couldn't recommend the nursery more!

Staff very welcoming to parents and children. Very supportive of the children, and seem to have a genuine interest in their lives and development. All staff seem to know all the children by name, through seeing them in the garden or doing shifts in other rooms which is lovely.
Various daily activities.
Meal plan is varied and cooked on-site fresh.
Both my children are very happy here.

Wonderful and caring staff. It's always about building a bond with the child. I feel like my children are appreciated and valued at all times. The pre-school programme is good and ensures that children become ready towards reception. My kids not only attend the nursery, but they're also part of it.

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.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 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
  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 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:

    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 114 number of registered child places is 22.8, which has been reached with 24 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.
