Our son is very happy at Kiddi Caru, we are always impressed with the variety of meals he eats and the activities that he does. He has learnt a lot and especially enjoys musical activities and playing in the garden.

We have been delighted with every aspect of our daughter's nursery care. The staff, facilities and food are excellent and our 20-month-old daughter loves every day so goes. We use going to nursery and seeing her friends as a motivator to get her up in the morning. The development we’ve seen in her has
been excellent and her communication and socialisation skills are brilliant.

A lovely nursery with staff that genuinely care for the children. My daughter loves going everyday and I wouldn’t send her anywhere else. They are brilliant at relaying information to me as a parent. My daughter is going to be terribly upset when she leaves to go to primary school this September.

My son runs out of home on nursery mornings and thoroughly enjoys the interactions with staff and all the activities available. He has made good progress in all his skills and it's a delight to watch on as parents. My biggest concern is always that he is happy and he clearly is.

We are so impressed with the experience and care that our little girl (11 months old) is receiving whilst she is at KiddiCaru. The staff are all so friendly and caring - nothing is too much of a problem. The key worker who is in charge of her is exceptional and very kind and committed. Our little girl
loves her. We are always kept up to date with how the days have gone and the comments in the day book are informative and reassuring. We couldn't choose anywhere else and highly recommend to all family and friends.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am a new mum with my first child and the thought of going back to work and leaving her with people I didn't know really worried me. I had been recommended Kiddi Caru by a few friends so decided to go have a look around. I booked onto a stay and play and from the moment I got there I loved it. The
nursery was clean, tidy and had lots for the children to do. The staff were kind and friendly and really understanding to how scary this process is for a new mum. After deciding to go with Kiddi Caru my daughter had a couple of settling in sessions and has loved it ever since.

Review from Su (Grandmother of Child) published on 24 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My granddaughter has been attending Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Taunton for many years. I can not express how amazing this nursery is. The care and energy the staff put into every child is outstanding. One particular occasion when I went to collect my granddaughter they were all outside as the fire Alarm
was set off. The staff made sure that they were all safe and happy throughout the whole procedure. (Staff from Damson room especially stood out by singing to the children! )
It will be a sad day when my granddaughter leaves to attend school but she will be heads above the others in terms of the skills she has learnt at this nursery.
They are all just fabulous!!

The staff are friendly and extremely good with the children. With their help, my youngest son's development has come on beyond words even with all the difficulties he’s faced.
The nursery has been so supportive through everything with both my children and I can tell you I couldn’t have got through
it without their support at the time.
The activities they do with the children are amazing and so educational....keep up the amazing work.

A lively, busy nursery with lots going on to keep the little ones happy all day. Staff are always happy and caring, and the babies always seem to be well looked after. The building can feel big, but once the babies are in their own room it feels like a nice secure and friendly environment.

Everyday when we walk into the building, my boy gets excited to get in, he gives cuddles to his careers and when I leave he always waves to me with a big smile. For me, that's the best example I can give of the good job they do in Taunton, if my kid is happy to come in, that means he's been treated
well and enjoys his time there. If he's happy, I am happy!

My son goes to the nursery 4 days a week and I couldn’t be happier. Very polite, friendly staff. They all seem to know every child, which indicates how committed and caring they are.


The menu is very healthy and varied.


My son loves it and it gave him confidence and great preparation for school.

Could not ask for more in the care and education for my child. The staff, everyone included, are approachable and will do everything in the power to help. All concerns I have raised have been acknowledged and dealt with in quick and efficient manner.
Could not recommend highly enough.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.112)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.112) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Taunton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 12 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 4.647 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Taunton is calculated as follows: ( (120 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.647
  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 4.465 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Taunton is based on 12 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 129 number of registered child places is 25.8. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 25.8 = 0.465
  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.
