Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool Hanham

ask for better nursery definitely recommend this place going to miss it

Everyone is consistently positive, friendly, and supportive, which makes a big difference day to day. Overall, it's a welcoming and responsive environment that we're very happy with.

- Improving communication about locum staff. It's common that I found locum staff within the room that nobody introduced to us. It might me useful and reassuring to parents to know about them

The staff always give us an update on his day when we pick him up. We enjoy seeing the photos they post on the nursery app too. The kids get up to lots of different activities! We're really glad we sent our son here.

Communication from all staff members is excellent-they keep us well-informed and are always approachable and supportive. We feel very confident and reassured knowing our son is in such good hands. They have been very supportive throughout his time there. It is a tough job within a tough system and we really appreciate their care

Both my Son and Daughter have attended this nursery. I could not rate it highly enough! The practitioners are so great with the children and genuinely care about them! Erin especially has been instrumental in helping my daughter potty train, something we have struggled with for over a year now! My daughter has made some wonderful friends and wakes up excited to go to nursery every day! Thank you Kiddi Karu! X

I find the staff very very friendly,and so caring.No doubt our child has really improved since joining the nursey(explorer).A big thank you to all the staff for an amazing job.we can't thank you enough.

My baby has been going here since January and is getting along really well, the staff are very friendly and approachable.

He has learnt so much in the short time here and has grown in confidence. He always seems very happy to go in and on collection.

Overall, I would recommend this nursery to friends and family on the basis of the excellent care and support they have provided over the past 18 months.

Always there to help and support her through every step/milestone. Great communication with parents too!

Finally whilst the building is spacious and clean, it doesn't feel very cosy or welcoming. All the rooms are white painted and would benefit from a splash of colour. The baby room toys seem quite basic aswell. I also think having babies playing and sleeping in the same area isn't the best, as the babies awake are often playing in a dimly lit room.

The Manager did start doing weekly updates but they have also dropped off.

- I've not seen them doing any drawing or painting yet

Have sent both my daughters to Grandir Kiddi Caru Hanham Hall over the last 3.5 years and the younger has just graduated before starting school in September. Couldn't speak more highly of the nursery, the staff, the care the atmosphere. Always felt at ease leaving my children in the nursery's care and its been great seeing their development. Really appreciate the experiences they have had there.

I love the ladies at Kiddi Caru Hanham Hall! The whole team have been so welcoming, accommodating, kind and really open to feedback. My Little one has made a real bond with his appointed carer. I think my little one has had a hard time settling in there, but he is just so energetic! I think the baby room was just too boring for him. He's a lot happier now that the weather is getting better and he can spend all his time outside, and now he has moved up, I think he will be happier. It would be nice to see more active playthings in the setting like wooden climbing equipment that you see in other nurseries for kids like him who need that kind of play on rainy days. I would love for him to spend some time finger painting, is this offered in the older rooms? My partner mentioned the walls are a bit blank, but I like how chic and simple they are. I also love that there's no plastic tat and they read a lot.

The nursery is great - all the staff are really friendly and helpful. Our child really enjoys attending the nursery and is always happy to go. I couldn’t fault the nursery at all. Family resource packs have also been a great addition.

My son has attended since October 2023. He is always very happy to go in on a morning and smiling when I collect him. He has bonded with many members of staff. Other children also appear happy when I'm on-site.

My daughter has attended Hanham Hall Nursery for just over a year now and is very happy there. There are lots of activities to keep her wild personality happy and she has really bonded with all members of staff there. The team are incredibly supportive and helpful, and it's a real comfort to know as a parent that she will be looked after and cared for there whilst not in my care. My son also attended the setting from 1 year old, all the way up through to pre-school and still talks about it now! It's also worth mentioning the garden which is an amazing outdoor space! There's so much room to play.

It has been a complex journey with my little one’s needs as a result, her placement in another nursery was terminated. I found Mama Bears from an internet search and had a bit of research done to decipher if it was the right environment for my little one to strive. Definitely, it is. From the first visit, she was fully welcomed and slowly integrated into the day-to-day activities. Bearing in my mind her needs, she has really come a long way. She now has staff that understand her needs and activities are tailored to her needs. The staff listens and makes changes where necessary. I am really happy my little one is fully accepted irrespective of her needs and she loves it over at Mama Bears. That is what matters to me.

I know they have had staffing issues recently which has meant we’ve had to find (very) last-minute child care which has been an inconvenience to us. But whilst our child is under their care they are very happy and this shows with the feedback and images we receive through the app.
