Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Amazing nursery. Very loving and caring staff. Never worry about my little one as I know she will be looked after and she will be safe and well fed. Only suggestion is I think there should be someone to meet and greet first-timers, as when we started attending nursery for the first time, I had no idea
where to go, where I could leave my little ones bag etc... I think it would really help if there was someone on day one. One more thing, I think shoes should be changed once they go out in the garden and changed back to indoor shoes once coming back in to avoid wet feet. But overall, very happy. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

We are very happy with the care and facilities our daughter gets at Kiddi Caru, Peterborough. All the staff are brilliant and so lovely to talk to. Our daughter gets on well with them and there always seems to be something interesting for her to do or learn, she always comes home exhausted after a brilliant
day exploring, learning and socialising.
The communication we get is brilliant. We always know what's going on personally with our daughter as well as events and news in the nursery. I definitely recommend Kiddi Caru to anyone.
The only feedback I would potentially give is that it would be great to have a portal of some sort which parents could access at any point to see any information about their child, as the information we get in their book, food, meal plans, sleeps etc and news/events we can see online, so possibly more use of electronic resources. But otherwise, we couldn't be happier.

Other than that my daughter is very happy here. I feel she is in good, safe hands.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Our child has been here for some time now and seems to have done well with settling in, making friends and learning lots of new things. The staff here are what makes it very good, however, the ever-increasing and unsubstantiated increases in fees make me very glad that our child will soon be leaving.
Again, on the staff note, it seems that the majority of staff, mainly those involved with actually looking after children, are giving it their all to both children and adults, they can be very friendly. On the same topic but a bad note, it seems that this basic attitude is lost when it starts getting to management, they can be downright glum sometimes offering no more than a glance when dropping your child off; fair enough when there's an influx of arrivals but it's the same when you're on your own too. A child should feel welcome from the moment they step into the nursery's doors.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending for nearly a year. She’s very introvert around big groups, and needs a bit of encouragement to interact with other children. Her key worker has been excellent at having a good mix of being my daughter's safe person, and also at trying to let her spread her wings a little.


My

daughter is always happy when I observe her at nursery and she is always excited to tell me what she’s been up to.

The best nursery in Peterborough! I wouldn’t send my child anywhere else. My daughter also attended and I was always very happy with the standard of care given. Staff take time to talk to parents in a friendly, professional manner and generally feels like a relaxed atmosphere for children to thrive.
Many thanks for the continued support given to myself and my family.

My son only attends once a week but everyone knows his name and welcomes him into the room. The staff are all very friendly, helpful and great with my son. He struggled when he first started attending the baby room but has moved to the next room and absolutely loves his days there.

They treat the children as if they were they’re own. They are especially good reassuring parents when the children are upset entering the room. They still make time to interact with children who they previously looked after who have moved on but their sibling is at the nursery. My little boy loves the
food and always has at least 2nds of the meals he has. Is it always a variety and gets food that he wouldn’t necessarily get at home.

Since having a very poor experience with my daughter's previous nursery and then moving her to Kiddi Caru, I can honestly say how happy she is and that she has made massive progress on her talking and abilities to communicate. When I collect her she is so happy. Her key worker is absolutely amazing.
I don’t go to work worried about my child any more. Thank you so much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is brilliant. I drop off my daughter in the mornings Mon - Fri knowing fully well that she is in safe hands, this I believe to any parent is priceless. She is always happy and looking forward to going. She has made loads of friends here and really likes all her carers. One of the most amazing
things about this nursery is the staff - they are very polite, caring and have attention to detail. Nothing relating to your child is too much of a trouble. My daughter has also advanced in heaps since joining the nursery about 10 months ago, the carers have really helped and supported her developments in various areas. They provide a range of activities including cooking, French lesson, dancing etc for the kids to enjoy.


Overall I highly recommend this nursery to any parent seeking the best for their child.

The staff at Kiddi Caru are professional and loving. We have used this nursery for the last five years, as our children have moved up through the rooms and on to their schools. The food is good, the key carers take your child into their arms and treat them with respect, love and understanding. My
children don't cry when I drop them off in the mornings and they are happy when I collect them in the evenings. The children have friends within their rooms and staff throughout the nursery know my children by their first names. It's a wonderful environment for young children. Allergies are properly recorded and special care is taken. The nursery follow good policies and procedures. Some of my fondest memories of early years have been through the nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We love it, my little boy started in October 2017, he was 14 months at this point and had never been anywhere without me, the staff were amazing at reassuring me and him. They let me visit as much as I wanted to make me feel comfortable with leaving him, and when the time came for me to leave him for
a full day to go back to work he was ready and recognised faces making me feel more at ease.
Since then he has flourished, almost straight away he started eating much more varied food and his walking really came on, the staff are all so friendly and welcoming, making you feel that your child is the most important to them.
They will also let your child adapt at their own pace, my little boy needed to be rocked to sleep for a nap when he started, and they did this until he decided he would go to sleep on his own like the rest of the group.
I am so grateful to everyone at Kiddi Caru for looking after my son as well as they do and helping him become the amazing little boy he is.

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.
