Review from Christopher S (Father of Child) published on 28 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has attended this nursery since she was four months old. I have found the staff to be caring and attentive to her every need she has developed extremely well and now being nine months old she is far ahead of where we were expecting her to be, I can only contribute to this to the care and skill of the staff at this nursery. My daughter attends this nursery four days a week and every day she is there she is always happy when she arrives, she always looks for her primary carer with great smiles on her face and excitement.
I feel happy and at ease leaving my child under the care of the staff and I would highly recommend Kiddi Caru to all my friends and family.

I truly believe that his nursery provides the best start in life for young minds.

Review from John (Father of Child) published on 28 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery at Matford Green is simply one of the highest order; the building is new and in perfect order, being designed specifically for the purpose of a nursery, both indoors and out (the garden is incredible). The facilities are kept perfect, the toys are new and in good order, the equipment likewise. The staff are trained to the highest standard, and seem to genuinely enjoy being there and working with each other; likewise, the overall programs for the children are well balanced and a good fit between educational and fun.

My little one loves going to nursery. She is comfortable with the staff who are always smiling and happy to see her.

She has really come along with her development since starting nursery as she wants to keep up with all the other children.

Staff are friendly and always happy to help with any questions we have.

Overall Experience

Kiddi Caru Matford in Exeter offers us everything we need for our daughter, a safe fun and clean environment where she can learn play and feel loved. The facilities are very impressive and they do lots to engage with the parents. Leaving our daughter is hard for us but the team make it easier for us to go off to work for the day and know that she is in the best of hands.

Overall Experience

My little boy has attended Kiddi Caru in Matford for 2 days a week since he was 14 weeks old. As a new Mom heading back to work full time and having a little one so young, I couldn’t have been made to feel any more at ease. From the moment you enter the nursery to the second you leave, the staff, the ambience, the environment, the interaction - all are first class! My little boy loves it and I wouldn’t put him anywhere else.

Review from Lisa (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has attended Kiddi Caru Matford for around a year and I can happily say I feel it is the best childcare provider in Exeter! My son cannot wait to get to preschool in the mornings and he always comes home full of stories and anecdotes from his exciting days. The staff are wonderful and in particular, his key workers who work so hard to encourage development and preparation for school through structured play. My son's nutrition is very well catered for even going as far as getting to sample traditional Chinese cuisine to celebrate Chinese New Year last week. We will miss Kiddi Caru and all the wonderful staff very much when my son starts school in September this year!

Review from Abi (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is a very high-quality early years setting which is run very professionally. The indoor and outdoor facilities are of excellent standard and well maintained. The staff are friendly, warm and considerate and all have developed strong relationships with my daughter, making her feel secure and happy whilst she is with them. Her key worker, in particular, has shown that she truly cares about the children she looks after and she has played an important role in how much my daughter enjoys her time at nursery. My daughter loves attending Kiddi Caru so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Review from Debbie H (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Choosing a nursery for the first time is a daunting prospect. The list of requirements is long and you hope and pray that your little one enjoys the time that he/she spends there. I can safely say that Kiddi Caru Matford has pretty much ticked all of our boxes and after the inevitably tricky settling in period my little boy loves his time there!

The facilities are top class, the key carers are friendly, welcoming and professional and we’re never in doubt that our boy is learning and experiencing more every time that he attends. We’re also safe in the knowledge that he is being fed a variety of fresh and healthy food. I have recommended Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Exeter, Matford Green to many friends and won’t hesitate to do so in the future!

Review from Michaela S (Mother of Child) published on 22 January 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter always smiles when she is taken into nursery and is never bothered when I leave her, usually asking/reaching to go to her carers.
Exceptional facilities including equipment, food and even items to take home to support your child's growth. The activities on offer to the children are beyond measure.
The facilities and rooms are always clean, (without fail) and everything is kept to a very high standard.
I love that I can see how clean the kitchen is and the menus on offer are fresh and nutritious.
The staff are always happy and have never let me down with any of my (at times) ridiculous requests.
Communication between staff and parents is phenomenal, never have I asked about a part of my daughter's day that they haven't been able to tell me what she was doing.
I feel safe leaving my child as security is greater than that of Fort Knox- without ever feeling less than friendly.

They excel in every aspect and truly offer my daughter the best start in life.

Overall Experience

I can't fault the facilities and staff at the nursery. My daughter started there at 10 months when I went back to work and the staff worked so hard to help her to settle and she now loves going in. She has always done lots of fun activities during the day and greets me with a massive smile when I collect her.

Overall Experience

My two-year-old son joined Kiddi Caru, Matford at the beginning of August and I'm really happy with the care he receives. He was very anxious when he started, but all of the staff have been brilliant with him, especially his key worker. They have helped him to settle in and he's becoming more confident. Would definitely recommend this nursery to everyone!
