Kiddi Caru Matford is a great nursey, the staff are great with our son, they are extremly keen to help him with his learning milestones, which as a parent is really important.

He has so much fun during the day he likes going!

Review from Kathryn K (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Gavin G (Father of Child) published on 11 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Mark K (Father of Child) published on 11 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
It is always a joy dropping our boy off here. We've experienced three of the rooms as he has gone through the system and in each room he has had a lovely, friendly, attentive key carer who he has bonded with. He absolutely loves it at this nursery and has made lots of friends already.
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.

Review from David M (Father of Child) published on 10 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
A fantastic nursery with great staff. Our daughter is very happy at nursery and we are sure she gets excellent care from staff who are genuinely invested in the job they do.
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.

Review from Sam W (Father of Child) published on 10 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Kiddi Caru offer outstanding care, excellent facilities and an amazing range of activities and learning for our child.
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.

Overall Experience
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 my daughter's difficult diet, always going out of her way to make sure all her food needs are met, and from what she says it is delicious! The whole building is secure and safe with amazing outside space for the little ones and always great activities set up for the day! My daughter loves it and with all the nerves as a parent about moving them somewhere new and the nerves of leaving them, I am defiantly glad did!

I would 100% recommend it!

Overall Experience

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.

We've been really pleased with the child care out Daughter receives. Staff are friendly, well informed, and they provide great care.

My daughter always has a fun-packed day and when I collect her is always well worn out. She's also clean and tidy.

Overall Experience
My son recently started at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery in the owl babies room. Despite the short amount of time he's been attending, he absolutely loves nursery. He gets to engage in activities we don't do at home and is supported in his learning by the caring staff.
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.

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!

Overall Experience

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.
