The staff are amazing and fulfil my son's every need whilst at nursery.
I'm happy to leave him there knowing that he’s in safe hands.
Excellent nursery, my child loves her time at Kiddi Caru. The staff are extremely friendly and approachable. All 3 of my children have been to a Kiddi Caru nursery - I wouldn't choose anywhere else!
A genuinely fantastic nursery, which surpassed our expectations from day 1. Our toddler has a lovely time there and has bonded well with the staff, to the point of being excited to get there each week to see them, we can't speak more highly of our toddler's key worker (and the other staff). The learning through creativity, play and social experiences really stood out to us against other local nurseries, and the daily food menus/options are excellent.
The staff at Kiddi Caru in Exeter have made putting my daughter into nursery so much less stressful than I thought it would be. She loves going there, is learning new things every day and couldn't have settled in better thanks to the wonderful staff across the three rooms she has been in so far. They give me peace of mind and I know my daughter is in safe hands whilst I go to work. I would recommend this nursery to anyone in the Exeter area.
Kiddi Caru Matford have been nothing but excellent since our son started as a 6 month baby in April of last year. He has thrived with all the interaction and fantastic activities he gets to do and comes home exhausted every day - a sure sign of a fun day! (and he sleeps wonderfully because of it!). We are very happy with the care he receives and the overall experience he gets on a weekly basis.
Fantastic place, my boy loves going and has a great relationship with staff and children. Staff are very friendly and always clean and tidy and the garden is gorgeous and fun for all.
Excellent nursery with lovely staff. My little one loved it and was very sad when she had to move due to relocation. Always came out happy and learning new things. Outdoor garden area was a huge hit!
Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Exeter, Matford Green is fantastic - the facilities are amazing but it’s the staff that continue to impress me. The key workers are so engaging with the children and really go out of their way to accommodate their individual needs. Even the managers know each and every one of the children by name and have fantastic memories for things going on in the children’s lives. The food is freshly cooked and the menus are so broad and interesting. The activities are also broad and very engaging for the children. The facilities are clean, bright and airy too which just adds to the happy atmosphere there. We are so happy to have a place for our daughter here and feel so comfortable sending her there for day care. We would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone.
I couldn't wish for a better nursery for my son to attend. He has been going since September 2018 and absolutely loves it. All the staff are so welcoming, friendly and professional. The food menu is literally 5* and cleanliness of nursery is to a very high standard. By far the best nursery I know of and have no worries or concerns when my son is there as I feel so at ease and confident he is in the best care.
Basically, we couldn’t want more from a nursery, thank you so much. The only comment for improvement are the doors and the locking mechanism... these are frequently getting jammed and it’s frustrating waiting for other doors to close before the door can be opened. Also, it would be nice for all rooms to have the opportunity to go out on more trips (e.g. fire station, cattle market).
Unfortunately, we’re moving home at the end of next month and the local Kiddi Caru is too far away so the new nursery has very big shoes to fill!
Always happy, friendly staff that genuinely care for the little ones they look after. Supprised by how many activities they manage to cram into a day!
This nursery from my experience, has executed an outstanding standard of care for my child, from the outset. I am at ease leaving him there, in the knowledge he will be in very capable hands. The staff are supportive and friendly and make every effort to respond to your requests.
Fantastic staff, excellent care of our little one. The food they serve is all freshly made on site and is diverse. Could not ask any more from all at Kiddi Caru Exeter.
My son really enjoys spending time at his nursery, he is well looked after.
The nursery is extremely well staffed and well equipped and offers an inclusive and broad spectrum of activities, both play-based and educational for pre-school children. The environment is bright and friendly and the staff are never anything other than enthusiastic and welcoming - they clearly all love their jobs. Having placed my son at other nurseries in the town previously, I can safely say that Kiddi Caru at Matford has the rest beaten, hands down. 10/10.
Kiddi Cary Matford is just simply the most wonderful nursery. Our daughter absolutely loves going here and her development has been brilliant. We are also sending our newborn son and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thank you!
All staff are friendly and their focus on the children is brilliant. Food is fantastic and the resources for the children are second to none.
The setting is a warm and friendly environment, where my daughter loves to attend. She has a varied experience and always comes home with a smile on her face.
I have been extremely impressed with every element of this nursery from my first visit onwards. The standard of care is excellent. My daughter is very happy here and I feel that she is safe, secure, and enjoying the wonderful activities. She has learned so much and has a lovely time. The food is freshly prepared, nutritious and tasty. My questions are always answered and I am made to feel welcome and included in my daughter's day. All the staff are caring and supportive and every aspect of the nursery has been very well thought through and delivered to very high standards. I can't recommend this nursery highly enough.
I viewed a few nursery’s before deciding and this one is miles ahead of the rest.
