All the staff at Kiddi Caru are excellent and we feel totally at ease with leaving our daughter there. She comes home happy every day and we know that she has had a good time full of play, learning and fun. She is never unhappy to be left at nursery and has settled in really well. I have no complaints
whatsoever about the staff or facilities at Kiddi Caru Redhill.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at the nursery since it opened in 2016. He absolutely loves it and consequently so do we. Each room he has been in (he started at 18 months) has been filled with fantastic resources and activities and the staff are wonderful. They actively play with the children and engage them constantly.
They are supportive and really care for the wellbeing of the children. When my son has had an interest in something particular, they have tailored activities around that which is really impressive. He is always coming home singing songs he has learnt and talks so positively about his days there. We will be sad to leave when he goes to school!

I would highly recommend Kiddi Karu in Redhill . My daughter is the easiest girl but she is extremely happy in nursery, lots of fun and lots of love from the carers. I am a full time working mum but I can leave my baby there without any worries and focus on my work.
The food there is fabulous too.
My daughter has an allergy to gluten/wheat products so nursery provides her really yummy gluten-free meal and at the same time she still enjoys the meal time with other kids.

Kiddi Caru Redhill is a fantastic nursery. My daughter has attended the nursery since she was 7 months (she is now almost 3) and she loves it. The activities they organise every day sound so much fun and educational and the staff are friendly and welcoming. As it is a purpose built building the facilities
are great, especially the outdoor space which they use everyday.

From the first time we put our little boy in to Kiddi Caru when he was 18 months old we have been extremely impressed with everything about it. He is now 4 and he absolutely loves going to Nursery which, as far as we're concerned, is the most important thing. All staff are dedicated and attentive to
the children's needs. Our son's key workers have been brilliant and the nursery itself is set up well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kiddi Caru Redhill is like an extension to our family, both of my children have attended from the ages of 18 months to 5 years old and the staff and carers have become as much a part of the children’s childhood experiences as any family member has. Conscientious, friendly, happy regardless of whatever
is happening and incredibly dedicated to the children. The whole experience has been as good as if the children had been home with their parents. An added benefit is the level of personal development for each child too, reading, PSE, awareness, creativity etc they are better prepared than most children to enter the school system, even over prepared which is never a bad thing. I can’t praise the staff at Kiddi Caru Redhill highly enough.

The nursery is fantastic. My son has had a lot of fun, learnt so much and has really developed over the year that he’s been going.


You’re always given a good handover as to what your child has done through the day and all the team are very friendly and helpful.


I would recommend this nursery

to friends and family.

Very happy with my daughter's tenure at Kiddi Caru. The administration staff were extremely efficient in onboarding her from her previous nursery and from the first day her team of carers have been attentive, innovative and very caring. She enjoys going to the nursery three days a week. We have seen
a demonstrable improvement in her speech and confidence.
The newsletters are well produced and the daily reports are accurate and informative. It's a well-run organisation.

Our daughter has been through all 4 rooms at Kiddi Caru Redhill and has loved every minute. The staff are great - fun, caring and energetic. Nursery isn't cheap, but with an Ofsted Outstanding rating you feel you are getting the right value for the cost.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child has been at Kiddi Caru pretty much since it opened back in Autumn 2015. Having had experience of other private day nurseries in the Reigate area, we have been very pleased with the childcare at Kiddi Caru, Redhill. The staff are always welcoming and our child has made great bonds with their
carer and peers. The facilities are fabulous, as the premises are less than 3 years old. Our child always says they've had a great time at nursery and engages in so many different activities that we wouldn't necessarily have access to (or the imagination to set up) at home. Thank you to everyone at Kiddi Caru, your recent outstanding rating by Ofsted is certainly well deserved!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kiddi Caru is a wonderful nursery. Good leadership works wonders in any set-up and Kiddi-Karu is the perfect example with the management meaning the staff are inspired and supported to be the best they can. I believe this leads directly to the upbeat and child-centred work ethic of all the staff I have
encountered. They all know my daughter well and she is so happy to go there each day. The rooms are clean, bright and filled with exciting things to do. My daughter loves the yoga and French sessions especially. They have free-play as well as structured activities every day so all learning and play styles are catered for. The outdoor space is also well set-up and the kids spend lots of time outdoors. The food is really good too, with my daughter eating things there she would never touch at home - I wish they would put the recipes online for us! The staff recognise and encourage my daughter's talents and interests as well as supporting her physical needs. All in all 10/10!

Our daughter has been at Kiddi Caru since she was 1 and is about to move into the pre-school room next week! We couldn’t be happier with the nursery, she is well cared for, happy, has made friends, loves her keyworkers and all the staff, they all do so many lovely activities, she runs in in the morning
without a backwards glance!

Over the last 3 years, my daughter has always been keen to start the mornings at Kiddi Caru and after a long, busy and tiring day she does come back with a beaming smile. The staff do seem to know magic tricks to keep them busy, but ensure they look forward to the next day. Recently, the team has also
been exceptional in managing a personalised care plan for my child to deal with eczema.

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.
