Both my children attend Kiddi Caru Taunton and the nursery is amazing. I could not be happier with the care and attention that they receive from their carers.

Good nursery. My daughter always seems happy. Lots of planned activities and attentive staff.
The only area for improvement would be communication when children move to the next year.

My children (aged 3 and 15 months) have both been at Kiddi Caru since 9 months old and I can't recommend them highly enough. It is a caring, stimulating and encouraging environment with endless activities and fun. The staff are fab and the home cooked meals are a winner. My children absolutely love
going here and I believe thriving both developmentally and socially from their experiences here. Thumbs up Kiddi Caru, Taunton.

Only been coming to the nursery for a couple of months but my daughter absolutely loves the time she spends here. She's already developed her communication skills and continues to surprise us every day. The staff treat the children and parents as individuals rather than a number which is great to see.
I would, and have, recommended the nursery on numerous occasions.

My son has been at the nursery for two years and has recently moved to pre-school. He has developed so very well since starting at the nursery, through all of the projects and activities that are carried out. I am endlessly impressed by the care, love and patience that the staff unfailingly show.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very pleased with the care the nursery provides for my daughter, the staff are amazing and always go the extra mile to keep both parent and child happy. When my little girl started at just 10 months old, I was worried how she'd do without me but the staff in her room have made it so much easier
by listening to my wishes and created a lovely bond with her. I feel comfortable leaving her at nursery because I know she is happy and loves the ladies looking after her. It's an amazing nursery and I would not have put her anywhere else!

My son really enjoys being at Kiddi Caru and had thrived. He is learning a lot, we are happy with everything offered here and will recommend to our friends and family. He's becoming a confident little boy and very easily adapts to the different rooms here and all of the staff are extremely encouraging,
friendly and always greet you with a smile.

In October, my son moved to the 2-3 year old room (Cherry) and his development since then is amazing. He only turned two and already can count to eight, can read all the numbers, knows all the colours. All this is thanks to the amazing team in the Cherry room. Every week my son surprises me with new
skills.

My daughter has been attending the setting for a while, and has recently moved up to pre-school. I have been very happy with the care provided to her, most importantly is that she is happy and loves going. She is constantly referring to staff and friends she has made. Her development is key for us,
and since attending Kiddi Caru, she has come on leaps and bounds. Compared to the previous settings I would not have a second thought in recommending Kiddi Caru, the setting, staff and facilities are outstanding. As a parent, I feel completely content leaving my daughter in their care.

Review from Leanne R (Mother of Child) published on 11 November 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have recently started sending my twin boys to Kiddi Caru in Taunton for 2 mornings a week. At 21 months old, they are very attached to me and I have been incredibly anxious about them starting nursery. The staff at Kiddi Caru have gone out of their way to make my boys comfortable, settled and happy
and I couldn't recommend them more.


Their main key worker, ensures that there is minimal disruption for the boys throughout the day whilst everything is so new for them. They have been reluctant to eat at nursery so she organised a special menu just for the boys to ensure they didn't miss out. They haven't wanted to follow the normal routine so she has let them lead the way and been there to help them through trial and error.


I have been an extremely anxious parent about being away from the boys and Kelly has phoned me every time they've been there to tell me how the boys are getting on. Today I received an email with photos of them playing so I knew how happy they were - I can't begin to tell you how much easier this has made the whole process.


I finally feel like I'm able to go back to work for full days because I've found a nursery that I can trust to look after my most precious babies. Thank you Kiddi Caru for being fantastic.

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.
