She has formed fantastic relationships with all staff in her room, always talking about them and what they have done throughout the day.
The staff truly know my child and her interests, ensuring she engages and develops her knowledge.
She gets to participate in music sessions and yoga - which she is very excited to show off when she gets home.
The nursery have recently undertaken the Hygge effect and this has created a calmer environment for her to explore and develop in.
My daughter is slowly starting toilet training and the staff have been fantastic in following her lead, adding no pressure to her or myself.
My daughter is happy and has friends and that makes me a happy parent.
Hi, we are delighted to hear that you and your family have had such a fantastic experience with us! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated.
The classes are good, children enjoy their time there! My daughter has improved a lot and her language skills have also increased a lot! He has become more confident and really likes going to the preschool group!
Thank you for leaving such a great review - it is truly appreciated. We will pass your comments on to the nursery team.
We were really anxious to put our son in nursery, but all this went away after we visited. The staff are extremely kind and welcoming, they ran us through all of their safeguarding measures and processes. Our son always has the best of times when going to nursery. He has a lot of fun with his friends, learns a lot and enjoys the onsite chief's great recipes. I couldn't be more thankful to the team.
Hi, thank you for leaving a review. We are so happy that you and your son are enjoying your time at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery in Rushden. We completely understanding how challenging it can be leaving your little one at nursery for the first time. That’s why we are always keen for new parents to visit...
Very friendly, lovely staff. Very inclusive of my son and always coming up with ways to make the room more comfortable and accessible for him. Brilliant communication. Great attitude to work from staff.
Lovely facilities and toys for children. Always well kept
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our kind, caring team is so passionate about ensuring each child has a fantastic nursery experience. They work hard to provide support where needed and a warm, home-from-home environment. Effective communication is so important in maintaining strong parent partnerships.
The children are served freshly prepared nutritional meals, although sometimes unusual they always seem to be a hit.
I would highly recommend the preschool and nursery.

My daughter has been attending for well over a year now and we're so happy with her care and the staff that we've decided to send our youngest who is 9-months there also. My eldest daughter really struggled from being away from me at first but the staff were so understanding and really tried to put me at ease about the process. Within a few weeks, she really started to come out of her shell and has loved it there since. She's always talked so highly about those who are involved in her care and talks positively about her experiences. The staff are super accommodating and if I've ever needed anything like a good diary, they're always more than happy to help! I feel like they've taken the time to get to know my little girl, so now they know what's normal and what isn't for her, which just improves our overall experience with the setting. I'd especially like to thank three members of staff for all they've done and all they'll continue to do!

Good experience. One piece of feedback for the blossom room, sometimes there are too many kids and not enough staff.

The facilities are great and my little one adores the playground...any chance he can get to go outside.
He's grown so much since he started, his confidence has blossomed, and much more social with other children his own age. Thank you for everything you do! Looking forward to seeing him continue to flourish with you.

Amazing facilities. My daughter leaves so happy every day, she’s always well fed and looked after. I could not recommend Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Rushden more, no other nursery in the area even comes close to them, the best by far.

My son has been at this nursery since he was a young baby. The staff are fantastic and give great feedback about his day. He is happy to go in, loves the staff members and has made friends with the children there. My son really likes doing sing and sign and has learned a lot of signs from it. They have a lovely outside area which all children get to use. I am so happy we decided to send our son here.

Great nursery for our preschool child. She loves it. The staff are great. Always provide a welcoming smile and our little girl always has little anecdotes from her day to tell us. The children always seem engaged.

This month has been a scary but amazing experience for myself and my child. It’s taken some time and tears for my child to become settled but the nursery workers have made us both feel comfortable and welcome. I love the online journal system where I can follow my child’s development. Thank you for helping my child settle into a new environment, you're all amazing!

Lovely, friendly staff. Really helpful. My daughter enjoys being there. The outside space is lovely and clean. Inside is also very child friendly, clean and colourful. Lots of activities to do for the children. Would recommend.

Fantastic nursery - they have always made me feel comfortable whenever I have had any concerns, and they always have my child’s best interests at heart. It is a well-run nursery, and the manager is easily contactable should you have any queries.

In March 2022, my daughter started 3-full days at Kiddi Caru Rushden, and in such a short time, we’ve already noticed huge advances in her social skills (lots more babbling and words, nodding and interactivity), and she’s gone from being a non mover to a confident crawler who’s always trying to get onto her feet! The staff couldn’t be more considerate, for example, calling to assure me she had settled after a difficult drop-off, and keeping a detailed food diary when we’ve had allergy concerns. The transition from being with my child 24/7 to leaving her at nursery couldn’t have been made easier, and we’re all very grateful!

Kiddi Caru Rushden is an excellent establishment that has always shown deep care and consideration for the children. My child has been attending since he was 8-months and has shown an astounding amount of development that is relayed back to us in great detail in both handovers as well as in the app. This has allowed my wife and I the ease of mind that he is in great hands and will continue to flourish. The staff cannot be faulted. They have always assisted us with any and all queries, no matter how benign. Their handovers are one of the highlights of my day, and they are always greatly detailed, and the staff are always happy to expand on any topics or issues. Additionally, they have been amazingly accommodating with our child's medical issues, including an egg allergy. Choosing this nursery for our child was one of the best choices we could have made for him.

I can't praise the room leader and the team enough. From the moment I met the room leader whilst looking at nurseries for my daughter during the lockdown, she made me feel so at ease. I can't express enough how much I appreciate the really lovely in-depth and really enthusiastic handovers I get from her and the team every day when I collect my daughter. They really do make me feel like they are looking after her with such care and attention. The memos and updates I get sent on the app are wonderful too, I love reading the developments and milestones my daughter is making during the day with other children and seeing pictures really is wonderful to see. Food-wise, she gets a lovely variety, which is great, pretty much what I would cook at home. A good mix of veg and meat and great selection. I can't thank all of the team enough; they all are wonderful. It means a lot and a great relief as a parent to know your child is in good hands whilst you can’t be with them at work.

A great nursery. My daughter loves going, and they keep you informed with all useful information. I was nervous to leave my daughter, but know she is in the best of hands! They do great activities with the children, and my daughter loves all the staff there too!

I have had a pleasant experience here so far. My son loves it and looks forward to going to nursery. I also love that I get regular updates on the app showing me his engagement at the nursery. Kudos to the staff!

My daughter has attended kiddo Caru for over 2-years. They do a lot of activities with the children, and my daughter loves all the care staff there. We are always kept updated; the pickup handovers are appreciated as our daughter never tells us anything she gets up to! The meals sound very healthy, and the kids get second portions if they want. If we forget to let them know she's not coming in, they give us a call to make sure she's ok. We've been very happy with their care.
