About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

The only nursery I've come across where my son doesn't feel like a transaction. Staff have been amazing with both him and me, friendly and fun. He always comes home saying he has had a great time. I'm comfortable knowing I have the team's help to support my boy's growth and learning.

Wonderful evening celebrating Christmas. Santa was superb, giving all the children their gifts. Mince pies and mulled wine was lovely. Children had so much fun playing with snow and painting and of course visiting Santa. Well done everyone.

They are in there 9 hours a day, 5 days a week and all the staff members are supportive, caring and have continued to cater to their individual needs. The staff are fully understanding and fully dedicated in providing a joyful, caring experience for both of my little ones.
The indoor setting has 2 babies rooms, of which both of mine float between, equipped for all of them with plenty of toys and sensory objects. They cater to their individual needs at mealtimes and and have continued a weaning journey for my daughter. I am very happy and satisfied with the level of care, consideration and what the nursery has done so far for my little ones.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It’s great to read that you and your family are so thrilled with your experience with us! Our supportive, nurturing team work incredibly hard to provide exceptional care and education. Children enjoy a range of stimulating activities designed to keep them excited, curious and engaged throughout the nursery day.
Extremely helpful, friendly and caring staff. Always welcome the children when they arrive and make an effort to say 'bye' when they leave. Update on incidents when they happen. Would highly recommend for all ages. Support for parents is amazing.

My daughter started going to Kiddo Caru in April when she was only 10 months, she was only going for 1 day a week so struggled to settle in at first but the staff kept me updated and eventually she has started to get used to all of the staff. The staff we have dealt with are all caring and compassionate and she now goes two days a week and is enjoying it more and more as time goes on.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's so great to hear that your little one is enjoying her time here! Our kind, caring team really go above and beyond to ensure all children feel happy, safe, and supported whilst at nursery.
The staff are so loving and caring towards my children. My youngest is often very shy around new people, and I couldn't believe it in September when she rocked up to nursery, after 7 weeks off over summer, lots of new staff, and she waved bye to me completely...
The staff are so loving and caring towards my children. My youngest is often very shy around new people, and I couldn't believe it in September when she rocked up to nursery, after 7 weeks off over summer, lots of new staff, and she waved bye to me completely unphased that it was her first day without her older brother there to support her too. This is proof that Kiddi Caru is one of her 'safe happy places'. I have said previously that my only improvement would be to provide more challenging tasks for the more academically able kids in relation to their reading, writing and simple maths. That same week, I was informed that the nursery had invested in more learning games and resources. I was so impressed with the response and action immediately taken to improve and reflect upon my feedback.
An excellent team and a lovely nursery! Thank you endlessly to all who work there!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's so great to hear that our team have been so brilliant in helping your little one to develop her confidence. Our team works incredibly hard to inspire, empower and encourage children to develop positive life skills and knowledge for the future.

The manager of the setting knows what my child likes. She will have activities ready for my daughter when we arrive and will always greet us with a nice warm welcome.
The food at the nursery is lovely too, my daughter has dietary requirements and the cook has discussed how she can be inclusive of her needs, which means she does not miss out on any great tastes. She talks to her dad at the end of the day about what she has eaten, and she tells him how much she has enjoyed it. She regularly asks him for curry like she had at nursery when he asks what she would like for dinner.
I am so glad we chose to send our daughter to this nursery, and I would highly recommend it to other friends and families.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our dedicated team strive to build strong, supportive relationships with the children in their care. Providing a great variety of fun, engaging, and educational activities is so important. Our nutritious nursery meals are freshly prepared onsite by our qualified chefs to allow children to experience a variety of tasty flavours.

My little one joined Park Gate from a different Kiddi Caru nursery about 6 weeks ago now. He is an only child so has only ever really been at home with me and my partner so going somewhere new is always a bit unsettling for him to start with but the staff in the baby rooms at Park Gate have really helped settle him into a routine and encouraged him to be more independent. He is becoming more confident as time goes on and it's brilliant to hear about him interacting more and becoming chatty with the other babies and staff. I am very happy with the setting and so grateful he is surrounded by such lovely staff.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our friendly team works hard to provide a supportive, nurturing environment in which children feel safe, happy and secure, which allows them to develop their confidence and independence.

I am so pleased we chose Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Park Gate for our son. It’s always daunting leaving such a young child at nursery, but he absolutely loves it and is really thriving under their care. The staff are all friendly and approachable and caring. He gets excited when we go to nursery - the drop off transition is really smooth with no tears, which I think is a sign of how happy he is there. Communication through the app and in person is great. They’ve been able to accommodate his specific and changing dietary needs as well.

My daughter has learnt so much since starting nursery and her social development has come on leaps and bounds.
All staff are friendly and approachable and always take the time to give a verbal handover despite me having access to the app to see how my daughter's day has been and this shows the attention and care they provide for the little people day in, day out.
It took some time for my daughter to settle in however, I had absolute confidence she was in safe hands from the beginning. She has now formed an excellent bond with her key worker and is quick to wave at me and say 'bubbye'.
Management have been incredible with my personal circumstances in terms of last-minute bookings and have gone above and beyond what I'd expect from a setting.
I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. Thank you!

My daughter has been going here for almost 18 months after moving for work, what a wonderful nursery it is. The staff are the ultimate professionals who treat each child as an individual, allowing them the time to make their own choices. All the facilities are great. My daughter's favourite place is the garden if she could spend all her time out there she would.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We take great pride in our enthusiastic, knowledgeable team who really take the time to build strong relationships with the children in their care. Our facilities, both inside and out, help provide the children with fantastic experiences.
We are very happy with our experience of Kiddi Caru. My son has been attending since the beginning of this year, we had been using a non-Kiddi Caru setting prior. At the previous setting, my son was very upset on each drop off we thought it was separation anxiety so were nervous about him starting...
The staff are fantastic, we receive good feedback, I feel he has developmentally come a long way since joining Kiddi Caru. We couldn’t be any more pleased. Thank you to the team, you are amazing!
Thank you so much for leaving us at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery in Park Gate such a positive review. We are thrilled that you have found the best place for your little one where he can thrive and grow. We are so happy that your son loves nursery life and has developed strong bonds with the team at Kiddi Caru Park Gate.

My child has been attending this nursery for 4 years, the baby room was a nice home-from-home room, and he enjoyed lots of messy play and the girls were always very loving. As a toddler and preschooler, he has really enjoyed the freedom of the outside space and the sports coach sessions more recently. The preschool staff have been very good at providing him with extra SEN support, setting schedules in place and allowing for a special menu at lunch. He has thrived with the support of staff to become more independent and confident.
Thank you for leaving us such a lovely review for the Kiddi Caru Day Nursery in Park Gate. We are pleased to hear that you loved the home-from-home style baby room at our setting and that your little one has enjoyed the outside space, messy play and sports sessions. It's so good to hear that your son has been able to receive the SEN support he needs in our setting.
My son has attended for around 11 months and they were amazing at settling him in when he was a bit unsure at first. Since then he has thrived and absolutely loves going, I love hearing about all his little friends he's made and I get to see some of the things he gets up to on the app. The ladies...

The staff have been so lovely and patience in getting my daughter settled and making her feel safe to trust another adult suggesting ways to make her happy.
I receive updates through her time there so I know she’s okay which really helps my anxiety being away from her too and I can see in the photos how happy she is. I think their family app and this communication are so important for parents and it also documents some lovely key moments and memories.
My daughter does so much in a day, they have such a lovely variety of activities to suit all, great food menus and always have an ear if you need. Thank you.
