We love Kiddi Caru Sowton. The team have been incredible from our initial enquiry right through to caring for our baby twice a week. They work closely with home routines if needed, and the progress and development we've seen in our daughter since attending has been amazing. In particular, Andrea, Jodie & Kayleigh have played a huge part in making our experience so positive.
Our little girl is now moving up to the toddler room, and while we're gutted to be leaving Bluebell, we're confident we'll build equally great relationships with the next team.
If I were to make any recommendations, it would be lovely to see more photos uploaded, particularly on the days our daughter attends, or even more occasional individual photos. I completely understand how busy the staff are, but as a working mum it makes leaving her that little bit easier & lovely to see while at work .
It would also be helpful if direct debits could be set to a chosen date rather than only the 1st to fit in line with pay.

It took us a long time to find a nursery that felt right for us. But Kiddi Caru is that nursery for us! Our little one has been in attendance for just over a year, and he struggled to settle. The team in the Baby Room were amazing! My little one became attached to a member of staff and that really...

My little one has been here since 6 months old and we couldn't be happier with the care he receives. The team have been so friendly and supportive, he clearly adoreds them and is so happy and settled, its amazing to see his progress and relationships develop. We are very impressed with the menus, they are healthy and yummy and give me peace of mind as a working parent that he's getting what he needs, he almost always has seconds! In his age group they plan the most amazing activities and do programmes with signing and dancing and I can see when I drop off or collect the other ages doing things like cooking and gardening which I know he will love. Any small concerns have been addressed and resoved by management when needed, who are very approachable and knowledgeable. We honestly feel safe dropping off our baby knowing he is taken care of and loved.

There have been a few standout staff who have really supported my child over the years but wider staff retention and experience has undermined the overall quality of care, including adequately dealing with the inevitable behavioural issues that occasionally arise.

I have been over the moon with my experience with the nursery since my daughter started last year. She settled so well into her room, thanks to the care and compassion of the staff, and she always has so much fun with the activities they provide. The little touches of receiving photos via the app and knowing what she has eaten/slept really make a difference. The nursery always seems clean, and everyone is always so welcoming at drop-offs and pick-ups. I couldn’t recommend the nursery more highly at making my transition to work that much easier knowing that my daughter is so well cared for.

My child has been at Kiddi Caru since October last year, and I have nothing but praise for the work all of the staff do. My child has settled in so quickly, and the staff's effort to make them feel at home is remarkable. Now on drop off, my child lunges out of my arms for a morning cuddle with the...
