This is a very good nursery. The staff are very professional. The children are encouraged both to play and learn throughout the day in a structured and nurturing way. The environment is also designed to give the children independence in relation to their personal needs. Kiddi Caru also understands that most children are there whilst their parents are working and only send them home due to illness when absolutely necessary.
My daughter loves her days at the nursery. She was initially unsure but now grabs her coat on nursery days and waits at the door. They always welcome her with a hug which she needs to feel wanted there. It's a nice environment with lots to do. She loves the sensory room. It is a bit expensive but...
My daughter loves her days at the nursery. She was initially unsure but now grabs her coat on nursery days and waits at the door. They always welcome her with a hug which she needs to feel wanted there. It's a nice environment with lots to do. She loves the sensory room. It is a bit expensive but worth it, there is flexibility as to when you can drop off and pick up and they include meals. My only beef would be that they charge you for bank holidays when they are not open and their e-mails in relation to paying the invoices border on harassing - e.g. asking for screenshots to prove you have paid via the government tax-free web site. If they could relax a bit and only hassle people who pay late that would be appreciated.
I cannot rate the Matford branch of Kiddi Caru highly enough. They are warm, compassionate and extremely professional.

I cannot rate the Matford branch of Kiddi Caru highly enough. They are warm, compassionate and extremely professional. From the children’s key workers to the chef and kitchen staff, everyone is always welcoming and supportive. You feel as though your child is valued and cared for by all staff not just those in their room. There’s a real community vibe and the staff are always really positive. It makes an incredible difference to know that your child is happy and well cared for while you are at work.
Really can’t fault the nursery in anything. The management and staff are very friendly and extremely professional. I couldn’t wish for better people to look after my daughter. I know she is very safe and well looked after.

It is such peace of mind knowing how well looked after he is and he can engage in as many messy activities as he likes.
I can't say enough about the place. I can't imagine being happier having him being looked after anywhere else.

Despite only attending one day per week the staff have clearly put the effort in to know our daughter very well and to provide her with the best care possible.
It’s fantastic to feel so good about where she spends her time when not with us and to know that she will do lots of things at nursery that it would be impossible for us to do at home.

We have been using Kiddi Caru for almost a year now, and our child has loved every moment. He is excited to go to nursery. We love seeing how much he has developed and finding out what he has been up to every day.
The staff are incredible, they have such affection for the children and provide notes and updates on his days, as well as overall progression, photos and keepsakes.
We have enormous trust in the carers, who are very well qualified and respond fantastically to his needs and care when he is unwell.
Our child also has strict dietary requirements, to which they cater for, offering bespoke meals .... which he occasionally eats!
I cannot imagine our child anywhere else; the facilities, cost and location are all extremely good and we are thankful to have found such a wonderful environment for our child to develop, learn and feel as much love as we could give.
Amazing! I moved my daughter here after having a bad experience elsewhere! They have been amazing. The staff are all fantastic, so happy polite and most of all amazing with the children! The whole building from inside to out is spotless and really clean! The cook is amazing and well informed about...
I would 100% recommend it!

We were warmly welcomed from the first moment we stepped in to visit. I instantly felt the staff really cared about all of the children and took the time to get to know us. Since joining; my children have thrived from trying new foods to exploring the garden they have enjoyed every experience. I highly recommend this nursery. Thank you.
My daughter always has a fun-packed day and when I collect her is always well worn out. She's also clean and tidy.

I love that Kiddi Caru Day Nursery has accepted our use of reusable nappies and have used these with ease.
Everyone is very attentive, and have created a lovely environment for the babies. I can't fault the care he receives, and I am so pleased he's settled in so well.
Communication is always clear between the nursery and home.

Really happy with children being here they're happy and great facilities for them to use. My oldest seems much happier here than his last nursery.

Fantastic nursery! All the staff are very friendly and attentive to the children's needs. My son thoroughly enjoys coming to nursery and is always learning new things. Everyone comments on how good his speech is and I feel this is largely down to nursery. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Kiddi Caru is such a friendly and fantastically resourced nursery. My child is very happy there and this is because the staff are always caring towards him and keen to make his nursery experience a great one.

Kiddi Caru in Marsh Barton is amazing, we weren’t planning on putting our son into nursery until he was a bit older but we were so impressed at the open day that we changed our minds.
He absolutely loves it and everyone is so friendly, the care given is fantastic.We recommend you to everyone.
