After having to decide to move my daughter to a different nursery after a bad experience. I started to look for a new one and searched on the Internet and found Kiddi Caru.
This was the best decision I made absolutely no regrets. The staff are excellent and show dedication, care, and support for my daughter's development. My daughter looks forward to going into her nursery sessions which is truly reassuring that she is safe and will be well looked after. She is thriving and I am so glad.
I would definitely recommend this nursery!!!
Thank you kindly for taking the time to review your nursery, it is very much appreciated. Your feedback will be passed onto the nursery management team.
My son has been at Kiddi Caru preschool since last September and we have been so pleased with our experience so far. He was a little anxious at the start and took a little while to settle (his first time at a nursery setting) but the staff did everything to support us - updates with phone calls and photos to reassure me that he was happy after the initial drop off. I can see now he sees the setting as a second home, speaking fondly of the staff and the friends there too. Always get an overview of his day by a member of staff at pick up, which feels personal and you can tell the staff are attentive to the children. The setting has a lovely homely feeling and a beautiful outdoor space.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated and we will pass this on to the relevant nursery.
My little boy has been attending the nursery preschool for the past year and has been supported so very well. The nursery has a great cohort of staff with several beyond incredible members, who my little boy has come to love. The rundown from the staff at handover is incredibly helpful and I love seeing what he gets up to via the app too. Thank you all so much.
The staff are extremely friendly towards parents and children. Greeted with a happy smile on arrival and my child is left happy to be at nursery. At the end of the nursery session you are welcomed by a member of staff who will tell you all about your child’s day. This is a happy place for their early learning years. I recommend Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Rushden to anyone looking for a good nursery.
The blossom room has been amazing for my son, I can't thank the ladies enough for their support and encouragement not only for my son but myself too. The engagement my son is having within the group is outstanding and I couldn't be happier over all.
My son has been going here for five months and I could not be happier with our experience so far. He has already progressed leaps and bounds in all aspects of his development. His speech is amazing and he is wanting to be more independent which has increased too. He knows most of the staff and loves them all, often asking to see them even on days he doesn’t attend. I could not ask for a better place for my son and have recommended this nursery to lots of people.
My 3 year old has recently started with Kiddi Caru and having been in lockdown for nearly a year, I was slightly concerned, however, they made sure she had set days and hours. They gradually built up her hours so she settled in better, this went very well and completely took with her. She thoroughly enjoys it there, has lots of fun and can’t wait to go back the following day. All the staff are friendly (2 of the girls especially) when she’s feeling sad they sit and make sure she’s ok - staff are a true asset to this company. I’m updated daily with what she’s done/had for dinner. I would recommend this company, keep up the fantastic work.
I cannot fault this nursery. The setting and location is great and all the staff are fabulous, really friendly and inviting. My little girl was quite shy when she started going but since attending, she has really come out of her shell - she loves it! They do some great activities and I personally really like the structure of how the sessions are set out. My little girl starts school in September I'm confident that attending here is really going to get her ready for school life. Also, the lunches are great, nutritious and a good variety. Thank you girls for doing a great job.
My daughter always comes bundling out of the pre-school building with a huge smile on her face and she tells me about all the fun she’s had that morning. I give full credit to all the staff, as the care they provide has not changed at all during the pandemic. They’ve adhered to all the necessary safety measures and followed all procedures quickly when they’ve needed to. Thanks for keeping my daughter happy and safe. I hope she enjoys school half as much as she’s enjoyed pre-school.
My child has been attending the nursery for a little under a year. He started attending just after lockdown, which meant he had been at home for a long time and I don’t think his development is where it should have been at that point. Blossom room has been incredible and he has come out of his shell so much more because of all the interaction, learning and play activities that are done. He tries far more exotic foods than he was doing before and is currently potty training. The staff always just take everything in their stride, in particular my child's key worker, who I know he is very fond of. I would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery in a heartbeat.
Would recommend.
We can’t fault this Kiddi Caru Day Nursery. The staff helped a very anxious 1-year-old settle in really quickly. My daughter now shouts ‘yeah’ when she sees the nursery doors. The staff are professional, are caring, helpful and knowledgeable which made a hard decision on which nursery to choose easy. When I drop her off I feel confident that she is being very well cared for and going to have a lovely day.
We are so pleased with how our child has really improved since she started going to Kiddi Caru, Rushden. She’s eating/trying loads of food since she started and her speech has improved too, she speaks more than before. They have lovely staff, sometimes our little girl doesn’t want to go home because she’ll be really enjoying it and we are so happy about it.
When considering all the different options of where we could send our little boy at such a young age, 4 and a half months old, upon visiting kiddi Caru, Rushden it came apparent so easily and fast that it was the perfect place. All the staff are amazingly friendly and know exactly what they are doing. They take your whole situation into consideration and they will find a way of sorting a perfect plan of action that works alongside your routines and lifestyle. Every query I have had has had an answer straight away and I have never been let down by this nursery. I am so glad my little one joined the baby room when he has and I am excited for him to be at the nursery for the next few years. Thank you Kiddi Caru for your help with everything. My son looks forward to going nursery all the time!
Our son has been attending the nursery setting since March 2019. He absolutely loves going each morning and is so happy when he knows he gets to see his friends. Each day he is busy with a variety of activities that are aimed at his interests. The staff are all very kind and welcoming to both him and us as parents.
The nursery is well run, staff are welcoming and more importantly, my kids are happy!
Even when I deliver grumpy children they manage to put a smile on their faces!
Well done and keep up the good work!
Both of my children attend this nursery. The staff are passionate about the children learning, as well as having a caring attitude. Lovely environment too.
We were apprehensive about how she would adjust to nursery when I went back to work and she was only 10 months old, and a very tactile baby but the staff were and remain fantastic. Some of the staff are still there from when my 12 and 10 year old sons went to this nursery and that gave us peace of mind.
Our princess is thriving at the nursery and it's all down to the fabulous staff. The chef prepares great nutritious meals, and they all work as a fabulous team. We have peace of mind when she's at nursery and we are at work.
Staff have been great when I've been ill and my husband has struggled, or when my husband has worked away and baby has been clingy, they have given her the additional care and affection she has needed.
Always friendly with my older boys when we pick baby up - it's like having a wonderful extended family.
A professional and friendly nursery which my son has enjoyed since he was one and is now in preschool. His baby brother will be going at the end of this year.
Lots of outdoor play and more unusual activities of French lessons and yoga. A healthy and fun environment to play and learn.
Food is good and organic and my son almost always has a second helping!
Two of my three children currently attend Kiddi Caru Rushden. We moved to the area last April so had nobody’s opinion to rely on and initially attended a different nursery in the area but our children were miserable so we decided on Kiddi Caru instead and we haven’t looked back! Our children absolutely love attending the nursery and they are so well looked after in all aspects. They have both progressed academically but also with their social confidence, especially my eldest who has always been a little shy! We cannot wait for our daughter's journey to start at Kiddi Caru in the next couple of months.
