The nursery manager and room leaders have been outstanding whenever any small issues have come up. They've always responded quickly, listened carefully, and resolved things with real compassion and care. It's reassuring to know they're so approachable and proactive.
The food is another highlight - there's a fantastic variety of nutritious meals, and they've handled one of my children's allergies brilliantly, with clear communication and safe alternatives every time. No worries there at all!
Overall, it's a nurturing, joyful environment where my children are thriving. We feel incredibly lucky to have found this place. Highly recommend

My son has attended Kiddi Caru Rushden since he was 9 months old and he has always loved it. He's made some really lovely connections with both the other children and the staff, who have consistently been so kind, welcoming, and supportive. It's been wonderful being able to see what he gets up to during the day through the app - I especially love seeing the photos and little updates. He'll be starting reception in September and will definitely miss everyone here. We're so grateful for the care and happy memories he's had at the nursery.

We absolutely love Kiddi Caru Rushden for our 2 year old. She has been going since she was 11 months old and each week she is progressing more and more and that is 100% down to the incredible staff. Every single person that works knows my daughter, they speak to her with some care and attention and her face lights up with every staff member she sees.
Thank you Kiddi Caru!

The staff are absolutely amazing and do everything they can to make my son feel safe and happy. When my son started I was so anxious as to how he would settle. But he is doing amazing. I cant thank the staff enough for the amazing care and support that they offer my child.

My son has been attending Kiddi Caru in Rushden since he is 13months old. He is now nearly 3 years 8months.
I can honestly say this nursery has been absolutely fantastic. All the staff are brilliant. We are first time parents so we were nervous about going back to work and leaving my son in the care of someone else. Every step of the way I had reassurance through pictures, messages and at pick up and drop off times. Everyone is really wonderful.

Hi, I'm mother of the child that attends Rushden Day Nursery, I would like to thank all the staff that have looking after him. Especially Juniper room that help him thrive and support him during his natural exploration inside and outside whilst attending Nursery. I'm pleased to say that he enjoys activities that are provided and is willing to try and at least has a curious mind of what new unexplored activities are set out on a daily basis. He enjoys playing with other children as well as solitary and has a good listening ear when he wants too.

My child has just started this month with the nursery, she's quite a hesitant child and doesn't like leaving me or her mum, the staff always make her feel welcome and engage with her constantly. If there is any concerns for our child they call us straight away, they adapt with your child's needs wherever possible, for example our child can't digest whole milk so she only has semi skimmed milk to drink even though she is under 2. The menus are brilliant and the children have a range of different foods to each everyday. The app is brilliant as it lets us know what she was up to each day and if you have any concerns you can message them directly on the app, no need to speak to anyone on the phone if your not confident at doing that, also it gets straight to the team in her room. Our daughter has slowly come out of her shell with all the staff which is amazing to see, and I can't wait to see her flourish under their care! Thank you so much for everything you've done these past few weeks!

My son has the best time at nursery, he is looked after and feels loved. He is progressing well and I am well informed of how he is progressing. All staff, whether directly connected to my son or not, are kind, caring and knowledgeable. We are so pleased that we selected Kiddi Caru.
Thank you for your review of Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Rushden. We are so glad that you and your son feel he is well looked after and loved. Our amazing team is genuinely invested in each child and will do all they can to ensure he is healthy, safe and having fun while learning.
Both my children attend the nursery. We find all the staff fantastic and welcoming. The staff are helpful with questions and attend to issues quickly. The activities such as forest school and trips they do are fantastic
My only complaint is that my child attend on a Monday and Friday. I feel it's very unfair to be charged for bank holidays that fall on these days. If the nursery is physically not open and the children cannot go in, we are paying for a service we do not receive. I feel this should certainly be reassessed.
I have friends with children at other nursery's who do not pay for bank holidays or have recently changed their policy on it. I feel it needs reviewing as it's seems out of date. It could also put other parents off sending their children Yh the nursery.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear that your children enjoy their time with us and that you value the dedication and warmth of our staff, as well as the activities we offer.We completely understand your concern regarding bank holiday charges. Our fee...
Staff have been great with him and have helped him with his confidence.
Thank you for your review of Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Rushden. The transition to nursery is a huge change for both child and parent, we are so glad that we have been able to support him in this process and that he's starting to settle. We look forward to seeing his confidence and development progress more as he becomes fully settled!
This nursery has been amazing for our little one. She really loved it there. Everyone was amazing, empathetic and kind. For personal reasons, we had to move but everyone will be greatly missed. Special thanks to everyone in the Olive room, especially, our key worker and who always managed to put a smile on my daughter's face. Honestly, everyone working there goes above and beyond to make this experience the best one the little ones can have.
