My child has recently moved to toddlers and has settled in so well. The transition was smooth and seamless and he has built fantastic relationships with three members of staff in particular. One member of staff knows my child very well and has such a loving and warm relationship with him. Staff go beyond their job roles in accommodating my child and ensuring he is happy and healthy. Thank you!

The nursery really cares for the children every day. My child is in preschool and will leave in August. The progress he has made, thanks to the wonderful staff here, is amazing. They teach him every day and inspire him to become a better child. He has thrived and grown and this is all down to the staff here. A homely, warm, friendly and educational environment.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We take great pride in having a team of friendly, knowledgeable practitioners who really take the time to build strong, nurturing relationships with the children in their care.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are proud to have a nursery team whose hard work and passion allows children to thrive. Maintaining effective communication with our families is so important in building strong relationships between nursery and home.
Since day one the staff have been amazing with my daughter, and she settled in perfectly, they always ensure that her needs are met. Every morning the staff are very welcoming and my daughter always has a smile on her face. I was always anxious of my firstborn going to nursery but as soon as I dropped her off on her first day I knew this was the best nursery she could be at. The staff are very professional, kind and caring and there is not one bad thing to say about them. I would 100% recommend this nursery!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's lovely to hear that our team have been so brilliant in caring for your little one! They are so passionate about providing exceptional care and education.
My child becomes alive, chatty and happy immediately after he sees the gate of the school.
I would only expect the nursery to contact parents when a child is absent from school to check what is going on with them because calling the nursery to inform them about a child's absence may not be answered if the line is busy or the call gets transferred to another location.
Thank you for a job well done.
Hi, we are so pleased to hear you're happy with your experience at our nursery. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated.
Our son is thriving in the toddler room, he participates in fun and interesting activities. His speech has also accelerated and we know when he comes home he has had a great day. He enjoys all food provided at the nursery too.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's so great to hear that your little one is thriving with us! Our kind, caring team works hard to provide a great variety of stimulating activities alongside our specially designed education programmes.
My daughter has been coming to Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Fareham for over a year now and can honestly say the experience could not be better. The development in my child’s speech, eating habits and behaviour has been incredible. My daughter thoroughly enjoys going to nursery and even asks to go at the weekends!
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's lovely to hear that your little one enjoys coming to nursery and that their development is progressing so well! Our team is so passionate and works hard to provide a supportive, nurturing environment where all children can thrive.
My eldest daughter started last year and my youngest this January. They are both very happy here and we couldn’t be more pleased with our decision to send them to this nursery! The fact you can choose shorter/longer days instead of having to pay for a 10-hour day is really handy and all of the staff are so lovely. Thank you!
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's so great to hear that both of your little ones are so happy with us! Our kind, caring team works hard to provide a supportive, nurturing environment where every child can thrive.
An excellent childcare provider. The team is experienced and always extra supportive. Our daughter just loves attending and learns something new every day! We would certainly use Kiddi Caru in the future should the family grow.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's so great to hear that your little one loves attending our nursery! Our kind, supportive team provides a great variety of stimulating activities for the children to enjoy alongside our fantastic education programmes.
Since starting at Kiddicuru, my daughter has become much more confident and sociable. She loves coming to nursery and has so many exciting activities to do. She has a great relationship with the staff and absolutely loves spending her days here.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's so great to hear that being at our nursery has really helped your little one develop her confidence and social skills. Providing an environment where children feel safe, supported and comfortable enough to do so is incredibly important to us.
His key worker is lovely and I drop off with confidence, on pick up I know all about his day and the fun he's had. He brings home bits he has made.
The food is amazing, such a great choice and he loves his food - so this is a winner.
I would highly recommend this nursery.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's so great to hear that your little one is enjoying his time with us, getting creative and bonding with his key worker. We're proud to serve wholesome, nutritious meals at our nurseries which give children the chance to try a variety of new flavours.
My children would come home with injuries but no accident forms. They would come home dirty. My child choked, had to have back slaps, was told they didn't do an incident form as they hadn't bruised him. The manager had no idea this had happened. The nursery would have to regularly close rooms due to short staff or electrical or maintenance issues.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We would like to apologise for your experience with us. Please be assured that your comments are being taken seriously and have been escalated to nursery management. If you would like to discuss anything further please don't hesitate to call us on 0800 028 4500.
I'm writing a review today because a few weeks ago we were invited to an open day at the nursery and it confirmed to me why my daughter loves it.
The set-up is brilliant, every single member of staff is super friendly, which we already knew. Every day at pick up I have a detailed handover of what my child has been eating and up to. I am military so things can change at a fast pace for our family, but the manager is amazing and very approachable to help us if need be. My daughter has absolutely flourished being I'm nursery. I firmly believe, with the help and guidance of every single staff member at kiddo Caru, is why my daughter has great speech and a great understanding of things. I would definitely recommend Kiddi Caru, the setting and all its staff.
Thanks for being great everyone. Keep up the great work.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for the kind words about our team. It's lovely to hear that their support and guidance has really helped your little one to flourish. We take great pride in our facilities and open days provide a great opportunity for families to come and explore and get to know each other.
The staff love and nurture my daughter. My daughter has learnt to count, sing and play with other children. The nursery have advised and guided me and my husband with various things, but really helped with toilet training.
Kiddi Caru also supported our family's choice to use cloth nappies.
I have a very happy, confident, smart and empathetic child and I owe a lot of that to them.

They are incredibly passionate about providing an exceptional nursery experience for every family, nurturing and empowering children through a variety of activities and our specially designed education programmes.
We recently went to their open day and the ladies pulled out all the stops to offer everyone, parents and children, a great time.
My youngest daughter is in the toddler room and loves the ladies in that room, she is offered lots of different activities and loves getting messy. I cannot speak or promote this nursery enough.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's fantastic to hear that your family has had such a lovely experience with us! Our graduation ceremonies are always such a brilliant event, bringing the team and parents together to celebrate the children's many achievements and excitement about the future. We wish your eldest daughter the very best of luck at school!
Fantastic nursery with very friendly staff and excellent facilities. Our daughter loves coming here and I would fully recommend this nursery to other parents.
