I love everything about Kiddi Caru! We looked at quite a few nurseries and this was by far the best. The staff are wonderful and the manger is outstanding, when we first viewed the nursery I was particularly impressed that she seemed to know the name of every child. They do a great range of activities,
have excellent facilities, and my son absolutely loves it. I can't imagine that there is a better nursery anywhere.

We visited a number of nurseries prior to Kiddi Caru. We were impressed by the management of the nursery, the facilities and all of the staff. The nursery has been fantastic. Our boy loves the activities, he has formed a real bond with the staff and looks forward to seeing them everyday.

We were apprehensive about sending our child to nursery, but as soon as we went to Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Plympton, we were really reassured that we'd found a safe and great place. The team are brilliant, the facilities are custom made and age-appropriate and their policies are robust. Our child has
settled in really well and is always happy to see his carers and friends.

Professional, approachable staff who provide excellent child centred care and who make myself and my children feel welcome and valued. Both my children have attended this nursery and it has given them a fantastic start to education and life in general. I am kept up to date with their progress and they
set achievable goals, they provide independence in a safe way and safeguarding is paramount within the nursery. I would recommend this nursery to all friends and family, extremely sad we have to leave due to house move.

We are so happy with our daughter's care, she loves to come and see her friends and it certainly makes us feel better to know she is well looked after. The Beech room staff are especially great as are all the staff we've met.
Thank you to you all.

I know my child is always in the best of care when she attends Kiddi Caru. She has lovely, home-cooked food and takes part in fantastic activities daily (cooking, garden play, yoga etc). She's really happy attending.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've love Kiddi Caru since I first visited it for my first child and they have been brilliant from day one. Both my sons have been cared for really well by the warm and friendly staff and it's been a real pleasure watching both my children develop and blossom in the vibrant nursery environment the team
at Kiddi Caru Plympton have created there.
It's great that so many key staff have worked there throughout and now my first child is ready for school. I hear teachers can always tell a Kiddi Caru child.
Thanks to all the team.

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.
