Fantastic staff and a fantastic setting. Cannot praise the staff enough for all the support they have given our daughter. The staff always give you a clear brief on how your child has been that day which is always great to hear to help you understand. Thank you.

When I had to put my child into nursery, I viewed many before Kiddi Caru. Every place I visited I came out feeling deflated and could not see my child learning and being at the facilities. When visiting Kiddi Caru I was 'blown away'. The staff are on another level! Absolutely fantastic with the children.
The facility is tidy, clean, well organised and the staff are always so presentable which is another big factor. My child absolutely loves every single staff member and loves being a part of this nursery. 5* rating from me!

Really wonderful team who always go out of their way to be kind and friendly. You can see the genuine care they have for the children and truly help all children to thrive in the best way. I couldn’t ask for a better nursery for my child to go to.

I cannot recommend Kiddi Caru enough; the nursery itself is always clean and tidy and inviting for children. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. Even throughout the challenges of recent times, everything has been well-organised and well-executed. Most of all my daughter loves to go, she always
enjoys herself and comes back happy and excited to tell me about her day. I would highly recommend Kiddi Caru and thank them for always providing a safe and fun environment for my daughter.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been going here since he was 5-months-old and he has loved it from day one. I am a single mum and always worry when it comes to child care but, I always feel comfortable when dropping him off as he’s always got a smile on his face when we turn up. After lockdown and spending 13-weeks just
the two of us, I was worried how he would react going in but, the staff were so welcoming, and my little boy walked straight in and didn’t even look back at me! I only viewed this nursery for him, as I knew it was the one for us as soon as I realised how happy the children were! I have and will continue to recommend this nursery to anyone!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My granddaughter has only been attending a few weeks but the whole process from the viewing, doing the paperwork, meeting my granddaughter's keyworker to the manager meeting us on our first day has been fantastic. My granddaughter had tremendous social anxiety and was reluctant to go to anyone other
than myself but the difference in her since starting and now is tremendous and can't thank all the ladies enough as to how they've welcomed my granddaughter and myself to the nursery. 10/10

I would recommend this nursery to everyone! It has a lively vibe, friendly and professional staff and a very high standard of cleanliness and child safeguarding.


I was very anxious about sensing my child to nursery and within an hour, I felt calm and knew that my child would enjoy their time there

and be looked after properly with all individual needs met, ensuring development and learning.


Highly recommend!

A really nice setting, big size rooms, lovely staff and very informative, very clean and a nice outdoor space. Outstanding Ofstead report. Staff are friendly. There is also a kitchen on site. So the children have meals prepared for them daily.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended Kiddi Caru since January 2019 and absolutely loves it. He is now in the toddler room and thoroughly enjoys all the various activities on offer.
I feel his development has come on in leaps and bounds here and he is definitely benefiting from the structure of a nursery environment;
which will help him progress to school.
The staff are highly competent in all they do; approachable and friendly and they all have a fantastic rapport with the children in their care. There is a great mix of indoor and outdoor activities throughout the day and the meals included are healthy with a
well-balanced menu. My son is a great fan of the food here!
I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for child care in the Plympton/surrounding area.

The girls in the rooms are wonderful and so is the deputy manager. Really make me feel at ease. My son enjoys his days there and eats well and is happy... that's all I could ask for. Thank you.
It would be nice if I were able to receive more pictures of him. They seem to be taken because there is
one on this website! It would be nice to be given them. The girls in the baby room and 1-2 room were very good at doing this but I haven't received any since.

As a first time mum, I was hesitant when considering nurseries for my little boy.
I was recommended Kiddi Caru by a friend and I would now highly recommend to other parents! The staff are lovely and very reassuring and I feel at ease knowing my child is being well looked after.
The reports I receive
after each day show me how well he is getting on there and, particularly during this difficult year, I am grateful for the hard work from the staff to ensure he is able to experience some normality.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been going to Kiddi Caru since he was around 18-months-old and is now in the pre-school. I am extremely confident that when my son starts school in September he will be more than ready thanks to the staff at Kiddi Caru. The staff are and have always been friendly, polite and supportive. I
will be sad when my son leaves the pre-school as I feel the nursery is like a second family to both of us. I feel going to this nursery has provided my son with his own safe space away from home to learn, grow and develop. I cannot thank the staff enough for their input into encouraging and bringing out the best in my son's behaviour, confidence, learning journey and happiness.

My son has always been very happy at Kiddi Caru since his first day there age 9-months-old. He's now 31 months. The nursery have really helped him to develop and grow in all areas, especially his social skills. He very much enjoys nursery and looks forward to going to play with all his friends and the
carers, who are genuinely caring and supportive to the children.

Our daughter is extremely happy at Kiddi Caru. Prior to joining the nursery, I was slightly concerned about her speech and after just a few weeks she was coming on leaps and bounds. The staff at Kiddi Caru have made not only our daughter but us as parents so welcome and at ease. We couldn't recommend
this nursery more!

I highly recommend Kiddi Caru in Plympton. My son has been there since he was 9 months old and has just turned 3. He is always happy to be there and the staff are fantastic. His social skills and speech have come along so well, especially since he started going 4 days a week from 3 years old.

My daughter is at Kiddi Caru every day, all day and as terrible as it is to think of her so young and having to be there the one thing that makes it better is that she loves it. The girls are great, my daughter has learnt so much and she amazes me every week with something new she has learnt.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.748)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.748) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Plympton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 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 4.948 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Plympton is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.948
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Plympton is based on 16 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.8
  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.
