We couldn't be happier with this preschool and the care they've shown our daughter. After trying two other nurseries that just weren't the right fit, we were understandably anxious about how she would settle into a new environment. From the very beginning, the staff here have gone above and beyond to support both her and us through the transition.
They took the time to really understand her individual needs, showing patience, warmth, and genuine care every step of the way. What has stood out most is how thoughtful and proactive they've been-nothing has ever felt like too much trouble. They've created a safe, nurturing space where she feels comfortable, valued, and happy.
The difference in her confidence and willingness to engage has been incredible to see. She now looks forward to going in, which is something we honestly weren't sure we'd ever say after our previous experiences.
We're so grateful to have found a setting that not only meets her needs but truly exceeds expectations.
Thank you for your lovely review of Kiddi Caru Daventry. We are so pleased to hear how happy you are with the care your daughter receives and how supported you feel. We understand how important it is to feel reassured when transitioning to a new setting, and it is wonderful to know our team helped...
My son started for the first time in January 2026 and he loves it. The staff are amazing at keeping me updated on him and what he's doing during the day. The staff were so welcoming and so supportive if I have any concerns and worries about my boy. I can tell my boy loves happy hedgehogs and the caterpillar room with all the crafts he comes back every week and seeing his happy face when I go to pick him up from the rooms after my shift. It gives me a peace of mind seeing how confident my boy has become being around other people and seeing him interact with them.
Thank you for your review of Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Daventry. We're thrilled to hear your son has settled in so well since joining us.

My son has been attending Kiddi Caru Day Nursery in Daventry since september and he absolutely loves it there. He has come on so much since he started and he is always so happy when he is at nursery too. I love seeing photos of what he does and we always get a lovely handover each day.

It's wonderful to know you enjoy seeing the photos of his day and that our team's handovers help keep you feeling informed and connected.

The building is definitely well loved and they are awaiting a refurb but please do not let this put you off... honestly I think it shows how much fun the children are having every day. The garden has had a recent makeover and is a lovely set up with lots of toys and nature.
There was a slight gap in communication after the departure of the last manager but Angeline has just stepped up brilliantly in recent months and we are seeing regular updates on the app and lots of wonderful engagement for parents and children.
They are also very supportive if you are having any issues or concerns with your child.

My boy started for the very first time in January and I am so pleased to say we love the choice of nursery. Everyone was so welcoming and kind. They made my boy feel so safe, secure and happy. because of this, Dad and I are thrilled. We get updates throughout the day on how our boy is doing which is very reassuring. There are plenty of activities for him and he always comes home with some kind of masterpiece in his bag. My boy smiles when being handed over in the morning, which is always a very good sign.

That said, the nursery environment is in much need of a refurb and investment into new toys, carpets/flooring, fresh painting, resources and materials within the nursery rooms would be very welcome. First impressions aren't the best because everything looks out dated, very used and somewhat unclean. Staff do though regularly deep clean the rooms and toys and they really do try their best to improve things in this regard. In 2025 improvements were made to the outdoor play areas and new toys purchased such as bikes and padding pools for Summer, which was wonderful! Recently staff also arranged for a Dental Nurse and the Fire Service to visit and they plan on arranging more educational and interactive days for the children :)
The staff are a credit here!

My daughter has been going to nursery since January 2026 and has been enjoying her time whilst there. We appreciate that the staff (happy hedgehogs) updates us always with what she has been doing and I can see that she is now comfortable with them. The crafts they have been making each week is a plus! Kudos to all the staff.

We love Kiddi Caru Daventry. My son started there in the summer after a rather negative experience at another nursery. The team at Daventry have been fantastic with him and with us, to ensure he has a positive experience here and I cannot thank them enough. Michelle is an absolute star with the support she has given us, she is very personable and approachable. Angeline has been fantastic too. The whole team there are great :)

We found Kiddi Caru nursery online and booked an open day with our 16 month old to begin to integrate and socialise him. We were anxious as he has multiple food allergies. During the open day we were informed of their allergy procedures and were very reassured he could be safe and not be segregated. We were invited to two settling in sessions prior to him starting, one which we stayed for and one which we l try him for an hour to eat. Both we received photos and messages with updates to how he was doing. His key worker, the class team; cooks and management are all fantastic and he is thriving: His development, speech, and sleep have improved massively! They have a great outdoor space which they go out each day. The best decision we have made and couldn't recommend it enough.
Thank you for your review of Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool in Daventry. We're delighted to hear how reassured you felt from your very first visit especially around the support for your son's allergies. Creating a safe, inclusive environment for every child is always our priority. It's...
Kiddi Caru is a fantastic nursery with wonderful staff and an amazing environment. We've been sending our son there for several months and the care and encouragement he receives is amazing. He has learned so much and loves all of the staff, I will always highly recommend Kiddi Caru to anyone.

My daughter loves to go to the nursery and enjoys all the activities they do. The teachers are amazing. It's lots of fun and education. Food smells delicious and it's a very rich diet. Very very happy with this nursery.

During the show around she happily went off to explore the toys and have a look around herself.
The staff have been very supportive in helping her settle in the early days.
Communication is really good, we get to see daily photos of her and read everything she has been up to each day.
Thank you to all of the staff for helping her settle so quickly!

It is such a hard decision choosing a childcare provider for your precious child - we are very grateful you chose us and that you are happy with your decision! We are committed to providing the best childcare and education to your child, and working with you to provide the best opportunities to thrive for your child.
My granddaughter has attended the nursery for the last 2 years and it has been an absolute godsend for our family. She willingly goes in every day, and cannot wait to have fun. It constantly amazes me the inventiveness of the learning that goes on throughout the day, encouraging independence through play and peer support. The staff all understand my granddaughter's disabilities and ensure she has access to specialist equipment to develop her muscles. Children don't care about pristine toys and equipment, it's the inventiveness that promotes their creativity and courage to undertake something they may be reluctant to attempt that's important. My granddaughter comes home with the biggest smile every single day and that's the best indicator to us that this nursery is invaluable to her.
Hi there, thank you so much for your lovely review of our Kiddi Caru Day Nursery & Preschool in Daventry. We are thrilled to hear that your granddaughter is happy in our setting and is learning through inventive play. We truly believe that early years education provides the vital foundations for...
I have been blown away by the warm and comforting environment provided by the wonderful staff at this nursery. My grandchildren love the teachers who have gone above and beyond with the warm care they provide. My grandson has special needs, he has been welcomed, included and helped to develop and grow from the very moment we first visited the nursery. A big grateful thank you to all the teachers, catering staff and management. You are amazing.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. In our warm, welcoming and inclusive nursery environment, our team take the time to get to know and understand children's individual needs so they can provide the support they need to thrive.
The staff are amazing! There are some absolute stars who care for the kids and the nursery would not be the same without the people who work there! As they do really care and put in valuable time with the kids. The issue lies in the company, speech delays are not referred! My son who is now at school, the school were shocked the nursery had not referred him for his speech even though I had asked previous management multiple times to refer my son, it seems it wasn’t the people but more so the company of the nursery would not carry out referrals. The nursery has a complete lack of quality toys and if it wasn’t for the brilliant staff who seem to come up with inventive games/learning activities it would be awful and my son would not attend. The outside space resembles something of a third-world nursery compared to other nursery settings. It’s clear absolutely no funds are going into the nursery setting. The company needs to invest in the setting like the staff do the children.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our team nurture the children in their care, building strong relationships and providing creative, fun opportunities for learning. Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool Daventry is now under new management and we would like to reassure you that...
I could not praise the nursery enough. The pre-school has been amazing for my daughter. She has developed and progressed wonders and she couldn’t be happier there. The ladies in the pre-school are just wonderful, they know my daughter so well and I am so grateful to them. They have prepared her so well for school and it will be a very sad day when she leaves!
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's lovely to hear that your little one is happy and thriving with us! Our friendly, supportive team are passionate about helping children to learn and grow, helping to inspire and empower them to develop important skills for the future.

Hi, we are delighted to read your lovely comments about our team! They are so dedicated to helping every child thrive. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated.
When needed management and staff have worked with me to iron out any issues or concerns I have had, ensuring her individual needs are being met.
I really like the new app. However, I would be cautious of relying too heavily on technology as a means of communication; I like the idea of being offered the chance to meet with staff occasionally to get a more in-depth look at what she's been up to and how she's getting on, especially as she gets older.
Hi, it's so great to hear that your little one is enjoying nursery and has built strong relationships with our teams and other children! We welcome all feedback and are taking the concerns you raised seriously. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated.
