My son has settled in so well at Kiddi Caru and loves all of the staff. His carers are lovely and encourage the best out of him. He seems to come home every day from nursery having learnt something new. I cannot find fault with Kiddi Caru especially the food. He eats and enjoys everything. Very happy.

Currently, my son is in pre-school. The care shown towards him is excellent, particularly from his ket carer.
My son's learning and development have come on leaps and bounds due to attending the nursery. Excellent nursery and would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Our daughter started when she was 10 months and we have had the best response from her. She completely enjoys coming every week and gets on with all the carers. Everyone who we have met have been very friendly and helpful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I moved my two children to this nursery after not being happy with the previous nursery.
This nursery is the best, my two children have come on leaps and bounds, especially my four-year-old.
I'm sad that he hasn't got long left with them.
All the staff are amazing, it's lovely to see them all happy
and talkative.
(That's the staff I'm talking about.)
I highly recommend this nursery.
Cannot praise any of the staff/managers enough.
Very, very impressed.

I am super pleased with the service and care that my child receives at Kiddi Caru Plympton. The staff are friendly, show great care and interest in their job and are always welcoming to parents comments or concerns.


The manager and staff are always upbeat and smiling, imagine walking into a nursery

on a raining, cold, windy morning and you and your child are greeted so warmly.
Bliss!! I would readily encourage anything to give Kiddi Caru a go.

Since starting here in September 2016. I have noticed a real positive change in my son. His confidence has grown and he has made real positive connections with both the adults and other children. They are doing a great job in preparing him for school when he starts in September.

Kiddi Caru welcomes parents, children and visitors with a warm stimulating environment, supportive and committed to helping nurture and develop children. The children are happy, content and make great progress in their early years and it is so reassuring to know our children are so well cared for. My
first child has matured as a person and learner and is so happy at Kiddi Caru. My second child is already enrolled at such a wonderful nursery. The staff are all amazing with the children at the centre of everything they do.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The difference in our son since he started at Kiddi Caru is incredible. He has become more confident, more outgoing, he has progressed so much with his learning skills since his last nursery. He speaks excitedly about other friends he has made and also the carers who interact with him. Kiddi Caru has
definitely set him up on the road to school and given him so much in the short time he has been here.

The staff are amazing they spend a lot of time getting to know the children. They make sure learning activities are to the children's likes. My son has made a great bond with all of the staff and made so many friends. The rooms are all well equipt and the outdoor area is a great place for all of the
children to play together. Staff are always happy to help. Couldn't recommend a better nursery.

My eldest son attended Kiddi Caru Nursery from around 12 months right through to 4 years, he loved it as does my youngest son now 3 years. I can not fault the nursery. They provide fantastic facilities, very clean modern and professional, the gardens is amazing both my boys love it. The staff go above
and beyond to care for the children. The food for the children is fantastic, my boys are very good eaters and never go hungry. I can go to work knowing my son is safe, cared for, learning lots and having fun.

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.
