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.

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.

I am really happy with the nursery my son attends to. The staff is really friendly and helpful. As my son attends the nursery 5 days per week, his key carer and practitioners give me very clear updates his development which is very important for working parents! The staff in Fern room goes the...
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.

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.
Since day one I have been impressed with Kiddi Caru. They provide a structured and professional nursery service, but each member of staff welcomes my daughter and I with a friendly hello and I feel that she is in safe hands. Although she is one of a number of children they care for on a weekly...
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!...

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.
