Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool Hengrove

Kiddi Caru Hengrove found a place for our little boy at zero notice after our nursery was suspended unexpectedly by Ofsted. Ultimately they've turned that rubbish experience into a fantastic one. Our little boy has now been in the setting for about 15 months, moving from the baby room to the toddler room. He absolutely loves it. He has fantastic relationships with all the staff who clearly love him - we frequently come to collect him and find him having a cuddle or a chat with one of the team. Activities are varied and there's plenty of time in the garden with occasional excursions further afield - we get plenty of pics and updates through the app. Food is all cooked on premises I believe and they've catered effortlessly to his milk allergy. In a high turnover industry the staff here have stayed throughout, testimony to what a lovely setting it is. Would 100% recommend.

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone who's looking, biggest thank you to the staff and the management for the work they do for the children.

All of the staff at Kiddi Caru in Hengrove are so caring and kind towards our child. They take the time to greet her and get to know her likes and dislikes so they can make her time there as enjoyable as possible, including playing her favourite song. They always give us a thorough talk through her day. Her development has come on lots since she started there and she's really happy.

My son has been at this nursery for over a year now. He is always happy at pick up and eager to sing whichever new song he has learned. The staff are always friendly and happy to spend time updating me on what he has been up to that day. You can tell the staff really care for the children and share joy in each of their developmental leaps.

The manager works really hard to maintain a great standard of care and learning opportunities for each and every child who attends.

An excellent place, my child is well cared for and I really feel they know him personally. They update me during the day which puts my mind at ease, but also give genuine and personal feedback on pick up of how he has been. I really feel that they care about each individual child and will try their best to meet their needs on a daily basis. The staff are kind and supportive.

Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. A big part of this is how welcoming the carers are, and how effective their care is. The updates throughout the day are much appreciated, as well as the healthy food they provide and all the play. We are extremely happy to have found this nursery for our daughter and are looking forward to our next child joining!

My little daughter and my son both have attended this nursery at different times, the experience with both was excellent. The carers are fantastic and they built a good relationship with them and with us as parents as well. I definitely would recommend this nursery 100%.

We have never had major issues but evening time i tried to talk to them they replied very quickly.

The use of the app is also very good. They track all they eat and anything that happens as well.

Definitely very happy with the nursery.

Really love this nursery. Has provided reliable, good quality care for my eldest daughter for a year and a half, and I'm happy to be sending my second daughter there. All the practitioners are lovely, and show real care towards my little girl which I hugely appreciate. It really helps working parent life!

Can't describe how grateful I am for this nursery and the staff. They are so kind, caring and welcoming. My child has loved his time there so far and gets along so well, when I come to pick them up they're often too busy having fun to say hello. The updates are brilliant, handover is always so informative. They dont get enough thanks for the work they do and they way they care for children. I would recommend anyone to send their child here.

Staff are very friendly and build good relationships with the children. They plan good, age-appropriate activities which children then enjoy and learn from. There is now a sensible approach to management and policies. Has much improved over the last 3 years, in particular since Grandir took over.

My son moved to this nursery at the start of 2025 and since then we have seen a marked improvement in him. He comes home always smiling and singing songs he has been learning. Which he hardly ever did before. The staff have all been amazing in welcoming & integrating him into the nurse. The handovers at the start and end of his days are always great and make us feel as though he is really getting good one to one care. The updated on the app are also super helpful and this is something we hardly got at our previous nursery. Would highly recommend this nursery to other parents!!

The staff are fab and make you feel at ease even when you have a upset child at drop off.

Could not be happier with our nursery experience so far. Our son had just turned 9 months when he started here in Sept and as a first time mum feeling quite anxious and emotional at the thought of leaving him for me to return to work, I needn't have been as he is absolutely thriving here and the staff are out of this world. Our son has just moved on from the Baby room to the Toddler room and after a small adjustment period he is loving the new setting. We have already booked our place for our daughter who will be joining him later this year at Kiddi Caru Hengrove! We feel so incredibly lucky that this nursery is on our doorstep and that we were able to secure spaces here as I know it's become very challenging for parents to find childcare recently so we are really grateful to have found such a gem of a nursery, he absolutely loves the staff there and we love the updates on the app (would love more of those!) that let us know how he's getting on and what skills he's learning. So happy!

We recently moved our son to this nursery and in the short time he has been here we have already seen a massive change in his communication and what he is able to do. The staff have all been amazing and helped him to integrate very quickly. Their communication with us on how each day has gone and his overall development has also been great.

I would wholeheartedly recommend that any parent send their child here.

The incredible staff truly set this nursery apart. They are kind, personable, and genuinely care about my daughter's well-being. We receive regular updates not only from her key worker but also from nursery management, which keeps us well-informed. My daughter loves everyone at the nursery and is thriving in their care. I'm confident she's growing and developing in such a supportive environment. We couldn't be happier!

Really, I couldn't be more pleased with everyone at Hengrove - the support we get through the app is excellent, regular updates and good information on some of the activities he is doing. Thanks again to all the staff for being so wonderful!

So pleased we chose Kiddi Caru Hengrove!

My daughter's first week in the nursery was really great! The staff were very kind and mindful in getting her settled in and answering all my questions. Their efforts were much appreciated.
