Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kiddi Caru came well recommended in our search of nurseries. Now that our son has been attending for a few months I can attest that Kiddi Caru was a fantastic choice, they have exceeded all exceptions with the most important milestone that our son is very happy there. The management team made the introduction
very easy, communication has been great always keeping us well advised of any issues. As busy parents the implementation of the parent app allowing us to get up to date daily feedback on our son's activities is fantastic.
The individual care our son has had from the staff within Ducklings has been brilliant, allowing him the time and space to settle in, we have seen our son turn from shy and reserved at attending to excited and elated, this is down to patience and effort from the Ducklings team.
Overall, we have had a great experience at Kiddi Caru and would highly recommend anyone to consider this nursery due to the staff.

From the moment I walked through the door with my first child three years ago, to my experiences now with my second child joining, I am constantly blown away by the entire team at Kiddi Caru. Every single staff member knows every child irrespective of whether they care for them directly and so it feels
so warm and friendly all of the time. The menu is diverse and nutritious and the variety of activities they do with the children is so broad, and the way the nursery is managed is with ease, flexibility, and always a smile. But it really is the people that make this place and it’s a pleasure to leave my children in their care.

Our youngest daughter has been at Kiddi Caru since just before she turned 2 and I can honestly say this is one of the best nurseries I have experienced. The team are so incredibly kind and caring and genuinely care about every child they look after. The facilities are fantastic and there are always
loads of great activities for the children to do. Our pre-schooler has come home doing sums and teaching me yoga on more than one occasion! This really is a loving, caring environment for every child.

I would give 10 stars if I could. My son has been at Kiddi Karu for 18 months first in Ducklings and now Waterlillies. The staff and management across both rooms are amazing, they care for each child as an individual which is something I have not experienced in previous nurseries (I have 2 older children
who attended different settings).


Over the last 12 months, the team noticed that my son wasn’t progressing in the way he had over the 6 months before that. The support my son has received has been over and above any expectations I had, and they have worked with me and my family to get to bottom of it. Joining meetings with medical professionals, providing additional 1-1 support to my son and being an amazing sounding board for me when I was coming up against problems accessing the health services.


I would recommend this nursery to anyone, it’s like a family and despite all my son’s problems the smile on his face each day when he arrives says it all!

A huge thank you to the wonderful team at Kiddi Caru Redhill. My family and I are honestly always so overwhelmed with how incredible the team are but in particular when my daughter had an accident en route to nursery last week. A fall in the car had led to my daughter having a nose bleed and busted
lip, she was obviously so upset and I was too. It was before nursery had opened and the team at Kiddi Caru Redhill just swooped in and made everything better immediately. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without the team that morning (and every morning) My daughter was cleaned up, checked over, and cheered up as was I. I know the team at Kiddi Caru are always wonderful but this truly was exceptional. I couldn’t recommend this nursery and team more - they are constantly helping us every step of the way on this crazy journey of parenthood - we feel extremely lucky.

My daughter is just finishing to start school and she has had the best years at this nursery. The staff are excellent, communication is amazing I always get a quick reply to an email and the staff are so friendly and approachable. All the staff knew my daughter's name, I’m really sad that she is leaving!

Having relocated to the country with my little one at a very young age, I was quite worried about how well he was going to settle in. The team were so fantastic, excellent and supportive and they made the whole transition so easy for my little one and the entire family. Now he is much older, seems really
happy and so settled. Always glad I made the best choice of nursery!

I am very happy with Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and my child loves it very much. My child is bilingual and started nursery without any English language. She speaks English very well now. Teachers are amazing. My child loves them very much.

Having the team at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery at Redhill look after our youngest really is wonderful. We have seen a fair amount of nursery provision and the team at Kidu Caru are by far the best. Each of the team seems to really care, each of them on first name terms with our son and clearly have a close
connection. It's so easy when the little one bounces in and is excited to spend the day with the children and staff. The team will always go above and beyond especially in these tricky times. Would have no hesitation to highly recommend.

The new way of living is hard at times but the staff at Kiddi Caru Redhill have made it easier. Both my boys are very happy going to nursery and the parents' evenings via zoom for one and phone for another were informative and enjoyable. Of course, I would love to have been able to go into the nursery
and speak face to face but at least we are able to communicate at a distance. Thank you Kiddi Caru Redhill for putting in those steps to still being able to have parents' evenings and for keeping my boys safe and happy.

Fantastic nursery. My child is super happy here and is thriving, he has been here since 12months old and throughout this time I can not name one fault, everything is run smoothly in the rooms the nursery nurses are fantastic and activities are planned well.
The resources are fantastic, and my child
is has been learning throughout his time.
Everyone is so caring and everyone knows all the children by name.
Kiddi Curu go above and beyond.

We couldn’t recommend Kiddicaru Redhill more highly to parents. Our toddler has been attending for 18 months and we have found the staff and management to be exceptional and most importantly our daughter loves it! The staff have coped with our daughter’s allergies in a really sensitive and caring way.
The range of activities available and stimulation is excellent and there is a lovely and warm atmosphere. The staff are incredibly supportive and nothing is too much for them.
Really thankful for the managers and their amazing team.

Both of my children have been in Kiddi Caru since 6 months of age. My youngest is currently in their pre-school room, Swans.
Very detailed hangovers, focussed development plans and follow-ups, great sensory room and also outside play equipment, and much due care and attention paid to balanced meals
and dietary tolerances. But of course most importantly, staff you can truly trust your child in the hands of, who develop such brilliant bonds with the children.

Kiddi Caru was my first choice for my son as his nursery when I went back to work nearly a year ago. He loved the baby room and the staff there made both him and us happy and really looked after all of us. Since the end of last year, he has been in the next room up and seems to still be thoroughly enjoying
his days at the nursery.
My son is based full time at nursery and this costs me a fair chunk of my pay packet every month as this is not a cheap nursery. However, he is well looked after and I have peace of mind that if I have any worries I can talk to the staff and they will help us.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.496)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.496) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.696 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill is calculated as follows: ( (157 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.696
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 100 number of registered child places is 20. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.8
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
