The Facilities/environment and staff at Kiddi Caru Sowton are all of the highest standard/quality and professionalism any parent could want for their sibling when looking to use a child care center. The whole process from earlier age to older children and their different stages of development has been carefully planned and is delivered so that each child can have the best progress they need.
Our eldest child has been going to Kiddi Caru for over a year now. During this time his development has been excellent. He has grown in confidence, his social skills have improved and his language has improved significantly. The staff all seem welcoming, friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Communication between staff and parents is very good and special requests are catered for. A wide range of activities are carried out to aid development and detailed in individual diaries. I would not hesitate to recommend Kiddi Caru to other parents with young children.
Really impressed with the nursery and all of the staff. My little boy (1 year old) started two months ago, settled in quickly and seems to love going. It's clean, the staff are friendly but very professional, the food sounds great and the garden and activities are amazing. For me it provides guilt free working!
My son has attended this nursery from the age of 9 months. He is now 3 and at every stage I have been impressed with the care and activities provided. My son has made friends and enjoys his days there.
Attentive and caring staff. Good ratio of carers to number of children overall. Child always happy when we collect him at pick up time.
Our daughter has benefitted hugely from her days at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery. The staff have been fantastic in helping her develop and take a real interest in understanding her and her interests. We are certain it has really helped in preparing her for her future education and she always comes home full of beans! Fantastic nursery, well done to all the great staff you do an amazing job!
All the staff are lovely and welcoming. My little girl always comes home extremely happy after her day. I always feel that she is safe and well looked after!
My son is always clean and his nappy is changed when I come to pick him up and just the fact that he always has a smile on his face means that he loves this nursery too!
The office staff and management are great too! they action feedback and requests quickly and welcome each child with smile! They know names of all the kids at the nursery - this definitely helps them build a great rapport with parents and kids themselves!
My son has been attending the nursery for the past 3 years and has been very happy here. The staff are great and really care for the kids. The progress my son has made socially and developmentally with the help of the nursery has been immeasurable and he is now a confident happy kid.
Great nursery. My son absolutely loves it here and always has plenty to tell me at the end of each day. They do lots of different activities which keeps the children engaged. We can really see the difference in his social and language skills since going to Kiddi Caru.
Finally, food is not too impressive with items like butter bean stews not being eaten by many - that needs serious work as children need a good meal every day.

Brilliant Daycare with lovely, thoughtful and professional staff and management. Good security, approachable manager and staff always happy to help and excellent learning environment and facilities with structured and themed activities.
Lovely nursery which I have recommended to several other parents who have been equally pleased. My eldest has attended for 3 years since he was 9 months old and we have never had any issues and the staff have even helped with things such as a potty training. My youngest now also attends this nursery and settled in at 10 months old extremely quickly.
Would thoroughly recommend to any parent.
My little boy loves his Tuesdays here.
Thank you Kiddi Caru!
I have been amazed at how much our 16-month-old daughter has developed whilst at Kiddi Caru. It is great to see her excited to go to Nursery in the mornings and come home tired from a clearly fun day in the evenings. The staff are always friendly and helpful and have useful feedback on how she has done that day.
We find the feedback after every session very helpful and staff are friendly, approachable and welcoming.
Our daughter has been so happy with nursery after starting in Jan 1 day a week, settled straight away and has learnt so much being there. It is very clean and well organised and all the staff are very friendly.
My son has been fantastically well looked after at this nursery for nearly 3 years. The attentive staff have always made sure he is entertained, nurtured and cared for perfectly. The facilities, both indoor and out, are exceptional and I usually feel the food far surpasses anything I serve at home! I couldn’t have asked for anything more over the years.
My children both love attending Kiddi Caru. They enjoy playing in the garden and the variety of activities on offer. Staff are caring and attentive and are always happy to answer questions. I would highly recommend this nursery.
