Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A fantastic nursery, with happy and caring staff. I'm often astounded by what my children come home having learnt at nursery, with topics often being inspired bu what the children show an interest in.
The outdoor space is fantastic with children spending lots of time in it. Both my children have flourished
at Kiddi Caru and the low staff turnover shows the excellent stability.

My son moved to Kiddi Caru after being at another good nursery, so I was a bit apprehensive, but my son (now 4) absolutely loves it. The nursery is light, spacious and has incredible facilities and resources. My son joined cygnets and then moved into swans where his key carer has become a big part of
his life. He is due to go to school in September and has asked if we can go and visit his key carer every day after school. All the careers are fantastic and the communication is superb. My son is ahead of my previous son in terms of numeracy and literacy at this age, due to the learning activities in pre-school. In addition, he has taught me some yoga moves, shared stories, danced like crazy, built the tallest towers, met a range of animals from butterflies to lizards, sung in a care home, baked cakes and is becoming a well-rounded independent little boy. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

All staff are brilliant. They are friendly and always really helpful.


We've been so pleased with our daughter's progress since starting at the nursery.

KC is literally the best nursery ever! My little princess has been here for nearly two years now, progressing from Cygnets through to Swans and has loved every single second!


She has thrived and flourished both in confidence and independence since day one and it fills my heart with such incredible

pride, reminiscing back to that very moment we first stepped our feet through the door, until now. Wow, we've come so far and it sure has been such a journey of boundless fun and adventure, full of gorgeous memories we will treasure forever!


I was always extremely hesitant and sceptical about sending my child off to nursery (full time!) in the first place; essentially trusting complete strangers with my most prized possession is hardly a piece of cake. However, KC erased all of these fears tenfold!


My babe loves each and every member of staff to bits, especially her two key carers, who are just amazing and absolute naturals at what they do! Their life's work has been helping my child to grow and there is no price tag for that. They have done an absolutely remarkable job in helping to raise my little lady to be all she can be and so much more. They are selfless, creative, honest, caring, gentle and kind and truly make such a difference in our lives. They make my daughter feel safe, secure and so incredibly loved, which as a parent is all I could ever ask for. They sincerely nurture, celebrate and embrace her for exactly who she is and love her like she's their very own.


I simply cannot praise them enough for their hard work, because it certainly isn't easy, but they sure make it look that way. They take time out of their (enormously busy!) days to communicate/write lovely messages, share special moments and photos with me in our communication book, which is just amazing and appreciated more than they will ever know! These "little things" are the big things and mean the most!


My daughter will be starting "Big School" this September (2017!) and we will be absolutely devastated to say goodbye to the team who have been such a hugely significant part of her life for so long. They are truly like family and we love them so very much! Always will!


KC is everything childcare should be and more! All our love & more.

Our daughter has really gained in confidence since she started nursery. She really enjoys going and it is a massive peace of mind to me and daddy that she is safe and happy for the day whilst we are both working.

Fantastic friendly nursery where the staff really know the children and treat them individually in regards to their needs. Lots of fun activities for them to do every day, and learning/skills constantly monitored and reported upon. Being a new facility means that the equipment is up to date and new
and the garden is a very fun environment for them. Will be sad when it's time for my little one to leave.

My son was previously at another nursery and we then located and the difference between that one and Kiddi Caru was like night and day! I have been thoroughly impressed with both the pastoral care and focus on his development. The team are caring but professional, proactive and communicative and work
closely with parents to help work through various developmental milestones ie speech and potty training. I'm delighted with Kiddi Caru and thoroughly recommend it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has attended a few other nurseries due to relocation and none of them has been of the standard, nor had the staff, that our son has come to love and cherish.


Trust, has always been my priority for choosing the right nursery. Trust that he'd be happy, trust that the staff wouldn't let him

run riot when no one was looking and most importantly, trust that they would care for him and keep him safe. The Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill team have my trust, in spades.


Like all parents, we've had some tough times with our son in terms of potty training, separation anxiety and boundaries. Each time there's been someone there to guide him, but not pander to him, and keep us informed so that we can try to work together for the benefit of our son.


I'll be sad for him to move on to school in September, but should we ever have another child Kiddi Caru would be the first call I made to seek childcare.


Thank you to all the team. You deserve medals.

My son has been attending Kiddi Caru, Redhill for the last ten months and he loves going to the nursery each day. As a parent, I have seen him transform during the same time improving in personal care, language and food habits. I particularly appreciate the amount of hard work the girls put in to develop
good eating habits in children. My son was a picky eater but has developed a liking for vegetables and acceptance for all foods. I also appreciate the help we got in getting my son potty trained. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has attended Kiddi Caru for approaching two years, progressing from the Water Lilies to the Cygnets Room, and shortly to move up to the Swans (Pre-school) Room. I simply cannot praise Kiddi Caru enough; from their facilities to the management and through their staff. Our Son has progressed
so well under their care, he has flourished in confidence, independence and we see the benefits of their efforts on a daily basis. It is so reassuring that I can drop my Son at Kiddi Caru in the morning knowing that he is going to learn, knowing that he is going to be safe, knowing that he is going to have boundless fun and - most importantly - that he knows, and feels, loved by everyone there. I would strongly encourage prospective parents to visit Kiddi Caru because this is how Child care should be. The manager and her team should be very proud of what they have achieved.

The nursery is warm and friendly. We have at all times been made to feel welcome and reassured about leaving our first child. The facilities internally are very good and the nursery makes the most of the relatively limited footprint by clever use of the outside space and open area in the locality.
The
nursery is well managed with clear rules and regulations for the general benefit of the children and their parents. As a newcomer, this has made integrating and knowing what to do very easy.
All in all very happy with our experience.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband and I are so happy with the care our daughter has received since she started at Kiddi Caru over a year ago. Every member of staff knows her name and the staff in her classroom (Waterlilies) frequently go above and beyond to make sure she receives exceptional nursery care. An example is when
she lost her shoe, the staff did not stop searching until the shoe was found, including looking in the bin. Even the carers in the baby room still say hello to my daughter (now 2) and actively involve themselves in her development. The carers in Waterlilies will always involve us in our daughters' progress and development so that her learning through paly continues at home.

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.
