Review from L F (Mother of Child) published on 29 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We opted to take our daughter out of KC because the lack of communication was astonishing. Also when dropping off she'd cry and cling to us (never did this when we first joined in April 25) and on collection all kids would be waiting around the gate as if they couldn't wait to be collected and leave (she's too busy having fun to even notice we've come to collect her at her new nursery). They'd lose clothes, bottles, dummies just to name a few.

We enrolled our 12 month old at the nursery in September 2025 and have been overwhelmed by the amazing support and love that the staff have given us and our son. They are genuinely caring, very very professional and respond to any queries quickly and effectively. Thank you Cath and the team for being so lovely and taking such amazing care of Milo. We couldn't have wished for a better experience.

Highly reccommend and thanks again.

Overall Experience

My eldest has been at Kiddi Caru Park Gate since Jan 2025- we moved him from previous preschool as we weren't happy with it. I am so glad we did. He loves it at KC and we are so happy- he has come on so much and seems so ready for school. One staff member in particular has been amazing at accommodating our needs as shift workers and is so involved with the children, our youngest started in April and I'm so pleased he's there and will be for his whole nursery years. We recently has preschool graduation which was wonderful - so much effort went into it and it was such a lovely celebration for the children and parents. The staff at Park Gate are amazing.

We have two sons who attend kiddi caru nursery in park gate and they love it there. The staff are always fantastic and have really helped both of them in many aspects of their lives as they are growing and developing. We viewed a few nursery's when deciding and this nursery was by far the best one. The layout and space in the rooms is great. We are very happy we were able to get our boys into this nursery.

We attend our childs graduation ceremony from preschool. The set up was lovely. All of the children were individually celebrated. They had a great day. The spread was nice, the decoration was special and it was clear the staff not only made a point to know lots about the children, they all showed how much they cared.

Overall Experience

The staff at this nursery are kind, supportive and great fun. My son has loved his time at this Kiddi Caru Park Gate and they made his unexpected, short notice transition as smooth as is possible. My son has learnt so much in his preschool years at nursery and I feel he is fully prepared for his school journey. He loves all the staff and will be very sad to move on in August. The staff made such a huge effort for the lovely graduation last week and we made some wonderful memories. Thank you so much for the wonderful care that you have showed our family over the last couple of years - we will miss you!

Overall Experience
WOW!!! Kiddi Caru Park Gate is absolutely AMAZING!!! I honestly can't put into words how much this nursery means to us!!!
My son went there and had the BEST start in life-he left last year as such a confident, happy little boy, so ready for school thanks to the incredible team!!! And now my youngest has just graduated too and I'm honestly so emotional about it.
From day one, the staff have been nothing short of WONDERFUL-so warm, caring, and professional. They've treated both my children like their own and have gone above and beyond to help them settle, grow and absolutely thrive!!!

The nursery itself is just beautiful-bright, clean, and full of exciting things to do. The activities are creative, the outdoor space is AMAZING, and the team's communication with parents is fantastic. I've always felt so reassured knowing my children were in the BEST hands! Highly reccomened!

My little man loves going to Nursery and always comes home so happy.

I looked at a lot of Nurseries prior to picking this one but I'm so glad I did. The staff are brilliant and so helpful, even with home advice as a first time mum. The facilities are fantastic, and even have their own baby chilled garden area which is super cute. The food menu is great with some much choice, catering for all dietary requirements. I would give the Team 10/10 and recommend to any mum looking to put there baby into this Nursery.

Review from R P (Mother of Child) published on 9 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has been part of the nursery since he was 6 months old and the development I have seen in him is absolutely amazing! He is now 16 months old, he is confident in moving around and walking on his own with no support, he absolutely loves food and knows the routine really well. As soon as he walks through the door, he knows it is time for breakfast and will go sit down straight away, when he is more emotional he knows who in the room he is happy to separate from me for and will give them a cuddle before he is ready to go play!

He absolutely loves all his room staff and enjoys his everyday at nursery. I am so glad that I made the decision to send him to Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Park Gate, it was the best decision I could have made for my child.

My nine-month-old son has just started Kiddi Caru Park Gate and the staff have been amazing! I was initially really nervous about leaving him as I had never left him with anyone other than my mum for an hour or two and all of the staff have gone above and beyond to ensure he is as settled as possible, the care they have provided is exceptional and I will always be so grateful to them for taking such good care off him. The management team have also been incredible and not only have they supported him with settling they have also been there to support me whilst I transitioned back to work after maternity, the kindness all staff have shown doesn't go unnoticed and I will be forever grateful. I would recommend Kiddi Caru to anyone. There is no better feeling than knowing your baby is being cared for to an exceptionally high standard.

Review from Gemma M (Mother of Child) published on 24 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our child really enjoys going to nursery, she has made lots of friends and enjoys doing all the activities that are laid on for her. She also participates in tennis once a week which is a skill I really want her to learn.
In terms of her development, she has come on leaps and bounds, for example, her communication skills, writing skills and even being able to eat properly with a knife and fork.

The staff at the nursery are all really professional and engage with our daughter, and it's nice to see that she is so happy there.

Fantastic nursery and staff. My little one joined in April this year and it's been amazing to watch her flourish and develop more confidence and skills. She absolutely adores everyone who works with her. They make so much effort to make her feel comfortable and welcome from the second she walks through the doors.
