Since our daughter started at Kiddi Caru, I've only seen positive changes in her. The staff are wonderful and helped my daughter settle amazingly. The feeling I get when I see the connection she has with them makes me so happy and reassured she is looked after. I would highly recommend Kiddi Caru Day Nursery.

I truly feel this nursery is the best in the area.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's great to hear that your little one was able to settle in so quickly. Our team works incredibly hard to ensure each child feels happy, safe and supported with us.
Furthermore, my child, as well as the other children, have so many toys and books to play with and read, a very resourceful environment.
My child has really enjoyed da variety of lunches and teas. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's great to hear that our team were so welcoming and helped your little one settle in so well. Our fantastic variety of resources are key in helping our team to provide an open, friendly and nurturing environment for children.
Our son has been at Fareham Kiddi Caru for 3 months now, to start he was a little unsure but the staff have all been so caring a nurturing to him and his needs. He now goes in with a smile and a cuddle for the staff each morning. I believe my child is well cared for and is given opportunity to develop at his pace, I like the nursery so much I recommended this nursery to a friend and her son also now attends.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It’s lovely to hear that the warmth and support of our Fareham team have been key in helping your son to settle in. Maintaining an environment where every child feels confident and comfortable enough to develop at their own pace is incredibly important to us.
We get told of different ways he's made them laugh from pinching other's dummies to chuckling when he's pinched another piece of toast.
He's just a happy chappy and learning something new every day.
Hello, we are so pleased to hear how much your little one has enjoyed their time so far at our Fareham nursery and that the nursery has helped your son with his self feeding. We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave such a positive review. Your comments will certainly be passed on to our...
My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 9 months old, and we as a family have been made to feel very welcome since the very start. The staff are happy and friendly, and we are met each morning with a smile. If my daughter is having an unsettled day, they will always reassure me and are happy for me to call and check-in. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and is run by a fantastic management team. During Covid, it has been hard to go in the setting itself, but I am always updated at the end of the day upon collection with what she has been up to, what she has eaten, and even if it is a member of staff that doesn't work in her room, they still know her by name and will know what information to pass on to me. I was concerned about her speech development during lockdown, but since going into preschool, she is excelling in her speech, and I know that has a big part to play by the staff at this setting. The menu choices are varied, which is great. Thanks team.
Hello Kelly, we are delighted to hear that you have had a great experience at our Fareham nursery and that your little one is excelling in her speech since starting preschool. At our nurseries it is important to us that all children have the opportunity to taste different foods and that there's...
My daughter has attended the nursery from ten months old. Initially, I was very anxious about this but after a week or so it was obvious that she had settled in really well. She has got better at eating and even naps (which I thought would be impossible with my little one!). The staff clearly adore her and she has made many good relationships with them. She spends lots of time playing in the garden and the staff seem to engage with the children very well helping them to achieve.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated.
More recently my eldest child was very poorly, to the extent an ambulance had to be called and the ladies were amazing. The member of staff had only started that day and was with my little one the entire time. All the ladies took amazing care of him until his dad and I could get there. (I work a 40 min drive away in good traffic). The manager took time out of her day to ring and check on him the following day.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Good communication! Staff aware of what happened with my child in a day. The location is always clean and tidy. My child is always happy when attending nursery. "I love it". Learning new skills daily. Overall a great place.
Thank you kindly for taking the time to review your nursery, it is very much appreciated. Your feedback will be passed onto the nursery management team.
My daughter loves going to nursery, she is happy to walk through the door with a smile and barely even says goodbye to me. The staff are so nice and I can tell they love working with children. They always have funny stories when I pick her up, about what she's been doing, and they genuinely seem to love their jobs. The nursery itself is fairly new and is a clean and welcoming environment, very well looked after. She does a full day, so gets breakfast, dinner and lunch. There is always a good array of foods on the menu!

What a great place. Very impressed with the facilities, building was very clean and it felt very homely. The tour was very informative, all of my questions answered. Amazing outdoor space.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated.
The staff are always so polite when I come to collect my grandchildren. They give me a detailed account of their day.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated.
Great nursery! My daughter loves going and enjoys her days. Staff are very friendly and would 100% recommend.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated.
When my daughter first started both I and she was very anxious, however, the staff were really nice and welcoming. I was given updates on a regular basis which was very reassuring. Now my daughter absolutely loves attending nursery, she has shown so much progress. Made friends, interacts with others and comes home happy.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It is very much appreciated.
My daughter has attended this setting since September 2019. She started full time and will leave to go to school come September. The staff absolutely make this nursery. Throughout my daughter's time here the staff have been fantastic. When my daughter went into hospital for major surgery they prepared her a hospital bag full of goodies and phoned me to check how she was doing on a regular basis, this is just one of the lovely things they have done since we have been here out of many. They are accommodating with short notice changes and just make life easy. The staff truly care about the children, they are kind, caring and professional and the setting itself is a lovely environment. My daughter is very happy here, has such fun and always comes out with a big smile. If you are looking to start your child's journey before school then this nursery has great, supportive staff and is a wonderful environment for development and learning.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It is very much appreciated.
The manager is very approachable and friendly and is always there when needed, even for last minute changes. Highly recommend this preschool to anyone looking for a home from home.

My 2 nieces attend Kiddi Curu in Fareham, I regularly pick them up and I am so impressed with this nursery. It is very clean and well maintained. We have seen many changes with money being spent and it shows the passion the organisation has for it's children. The staff are always happy and smiling which shows to us as a family that the girls are well looked after and cared for. The food they are offered is amazing and they talk about what they have eaten. The management team always wave or come and say hello and we feel we can go to them if any problems arose but we are happy to say they haven't
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated and will be passed on to the nursery.
My daughter has been at Kiddi Caru Fareham for over a year and thanks to the dedicated staff, she has blossomed and come on leaps and bounds! Would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe and happy place to leave their child.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated.
My daughter has settled in very well and the staff in babies are fantastic with her. My only complaint is if I need to contact the nursery after a missed call or query if no one is manning the phone there is no voicemail service. I feel this would be great to be put in place especially if you miss a call and they themselves don't leave a message advising why they have called.
Thank you for your review and it is fantastic to hear that your daughter is settling in well. Also thank you for highlighting that the voicemail service is currently not available at the nursery - we can quickly rectify this technical error and ensure that you are able to make contact with the nursery when the need arises.
Fantastic!
