Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Torquay

I was really anxious initially about my son settling into nursery but as soon as I met the wonderful people at this nursery, my mind was completely put at ease. Every single one of my son’s carers that I have met has been so genuinely kind, attentive and reassuring. His confidence has improved hugely, he’s talkative and engages in conversations. Everyday he comes home with new words and ideas, singing with a huge smile on his face. It truly is a testament to his amazing extended family at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Torquay. It’s a scary thing to trust your child in someone else’s care and we honestly couldn’t be more grateful to the staff at this nursery for all that they do to help grow our little one.

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking and feel all staff give 100% and build great relationships as key carers.

Our son absolutely loves nursery and we have seen him grow in confidence since being there. The staff are all lovely and really approachable, we feel like we as parents are listened to and we can talk over any concerns or ask any development questions. The staff in Lighthouse give advice about things we can do at home with our son to help his development. Most importantly his confidence has grown, he's so happy there which makes us happy.

My little boy has been attending here since July 2020 (my eldest son also attended here from the age of 11 months to 3 and a half years) I have always been more than impressed with the nursery and all the staff I have come into contact with. They are very professional, approachable and friendly. My little boy had previously attended a pre-school nursery attached to his older brothers school and after months would not settle so I thought I would try Kiddi Caru. I explained my concerns and even at the height of a pandemic they did everything they possibly could to ensure our son settled well. We still get the odd wobbly lip/tears on separation but he comes out full of smiles and excited to tell us about his day and all the fun he’s had. He has learnt so much since being there and the outdoor space is great.

Thank you all so much for giving him the best start in life!

My daughter absolutely loves going to KiddiCaru, she is always so excited to go in and so happy when she comes out, she has an amazing relationship with the girls in her room and I never have any worries about leaving her there. I always get very good feedback about the day she has had. They’ve been amazing in supporting me with my daughters next milestones and whatever I’ve been doing at home with her such as potty training they have carried on the support whilst she is at nursery!

The management have always been helpful and friendly and it's a very well run nursery and a credit to the Kiddi Caru Group.

I would just like to personally thank a member of the team from pebbles for ensuring my little girl and myself were comfortable about going to nursery. My little girl has disliked going since covid and I suffered so much distress and anxiety every time I had to drop her, some days, I explained my concerns and she was incredible, she made me a book so I was able to see pictures of the room she was in (I was unable to ever see due to covid). She had pictures of all the staff so I knew their names and who they were. She took pictures of my little girl throughout the day to show me she was having a great time. She really focused on ensuring she was ok and in a matter of one day she was a completely different child. She has ensured sure my daughter is happy, comfortable and content and it shines through so much now when I drop and collect her. She really enjoys nursery now and finally, I can relax knowing she’s ok. She is wonderful, she goes above and beyond and I can’t thank her enough.

Kiddi Caru in Torquay is truly outstanding! I can not fault this nursery in any way. The staff are so enthusiastic and excellent with the children. They do so many activities and always have garden time. The food menus are such a variety and they are offered so much food as well.

However, unfortunately, I do think it is very unfair and disappointing that we have to pay whilst you are closed - which isn't our fault - if we are on holiday, then that's totally understandable, but not whilst you are closed!!!

My only complaint is that my daughter goes in on a Wednesday and last year we had to pay for New Years Day, which fell on a Wednesday when the nursery was closed. I just feel that if my child was sick or ill and does not go in, then yes we should be charged, but this was not our fault and was out of our hands.

Both my kids have been very happy here. Professional staff, great food and a comprehensive programme of learning. I feel that my kids are safe and well looked after here and are well prepared for when they start school. I would recommend this nursery to any prospective parent.

Very happy overall, our child has come on leaps and bounds and although was very shy before she started nursery, she is now very bubbly and loves singing the songs that she has learnt.

A wonderful nursery! It is extremely well run and leaves you feeling really confident that your child is in safe hands whilst you're at work. The staff are friendly, kind, generous and patient. My son has flourished since joining six months ago - his speech has developed greatly and he loves all the play, games, reading and singing. He also really enjoys every onsite cooked meal they provide. The outside is an added bonus with so much space for bikes, water play and much more.

I moved my son to Kiddi Caru Torquay after he attended another local nursery where I felt his day to daycare was not being provided for in the way that it should have been, and as a mother going to work, you want to know whoever is looking after your child is doing so to the best of their ability. Kiddi Caru has been fantastic since my son started in the baby room. He is now in Pebbles and the staff are fantastic, very welcoming and present in such a caring way, making you feel as though you are getting a one to one experience. I frequently tell others how happy I am with Kiddi Caru and the efforts put in by all staff.

Throughout my little girls 2 and a half years at the nursery, we have been really impressed with the care provided by staff. There is a real and genuine feel from all staff that they take their wish to maintain high standards of education and care for little ones. I have observed the staff to be more than friendly and offer reassurances when my little one has struggled at times to settle. At times there has been a real sense of staff "going the extra mile" and showing that they really care.

Kiddi Caru Torquay is a fantastic nursery, they have a secure door entry system in place and the premises are always clean. The outdoor area is large and offers a variety of activities including soft play and a yurt. The staff members are all friendly and my child has made some fantastic bonds with the staff. The additional activities include sing and sign, cooking and boogie mites. My little girl loves these, often repeating the songs and actions at home and she loves bringing home her cooking creations. My daughter loves attending this nursery, she goes every day and sometimes doesn't want to leave to come home.

I cannot rate Kiddi Caru highly enough. The staff are an absolute credit to the nursery, they always greet us in the morning with a smile on their face and ask how you are. My son is happy to be passed to the nursery staff and I go to work confident that he will be entertained and happy throughout the day. The building and garden are purpose-built as a nursery and there is so much for the children to do every day.

Really happy that I sent my son to Kiddi Caru his confidence and learning has improved and his speech has come on in leaps and bounds.

My daughter loves going and this is a true indication of how lovely Kiddi Caru is!
