Review from Charlotte S (Mother of Child) published on 12 April 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Since my daughter started nursery in November 2016, her father and I have seen her develop in leaps and bounds. She is so excited to see the staff and her friends every week and I couldn't ask for a better place to send her. The staff put me at ease from the very first day she started and continue to do so.

Overall Experience

Fantastic! My son left to start school this September and I can not praise the nursery enough. My son has been so happy at Kiddi Caru and has developed well in their care. The nursery went through big changes in 2015, but the new manager is fantastic and has made the nursery such a great environment for children. The garden is amazing! Thank you to everyone.

Overall Experience

My son has just left for school and I can not thank the nursery enough for what they have done for my son during the 4 years he was at the nursery. He has learnt so much there and his key workers have all been amazing. Over the past 12 months, so much has happened at the nursery to make ongoing improvements, but mine and my child's favourite has to be the fantastic outdoor space development. Thank you Kiddi Caru!

Review from Holly T (Mother of Child) published on 17 August 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery is outstanding. The comparison from our previous experience is so positive. From day one the staff worked incredibly hard to get our son settled, but within a few weeks, he couldn't wait to get there. He now runs down the hallway when I drop him off and is bubbly and smiley every time I pick him up. The staff are friendly, approachable and fun, they all seem to take great pride in what they do.

The activities and facilities on offer are brilliant. They constantly change what the kids do and the garden area offers such freedom and creativity for growing little people.

The staff have supported us with our son's growth and changes. Helping him develop new skills, make friends and gain confidence and independence without us around.

Thanks for all your hard work, it is great to know he is in such good hands!

Review from Claire G (Mother of Child) published on 12 August 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 7 months old, now nearly 4 and a half, she left to start school in September. Every member of staff has been amazing, friendly and supportive in all aspects of my daughter's development (feeding/potty training/naps/writing). There are so many varied activities to keep the children occupied and my little one has loved it there! The food is fabulous and encouraged my daughter to eat anything! I'd really recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare in Exeter.
