It took us a long time to find a nursery that felt right for us. But Kiddi Caru is that nursery for us! Our little one has been in attendance for just over a year, and he struggled to settle. The team in the Baby Room were amazing! My little one became attached to a member of staff and that really helped him enjoy his days there! He eats SO well, at nursery! The food is prepared freshly in the kitchen, and my little one loves everything! It's so reassuring to know he has home cooked meals (effectively) My little one is receiving amazing support whilst he navigates Toddlerhood, learns boundaries. On every pick up, he is so happy after a fun day with interactive activities and garden fun! Can't thank KC enough, for everything they do!

My little one has been here since 6 months old and we couldn't be happier with the care he receives. The team have been so friendly and supportive, he clearly adoreds them and is so happy and settled, its amazing to see his progress and relationships develop. We are very impressed with the menus, they are healthy and yummy and give me peace of mind as a working parent that he's getting what he needs, he almost always has seconds! In his age group they plan the most amazing activities and do programmes with signing and dancing and I can see when I drop off or collect the other ages doing things like cooking and gardening which I know he will love. Any small concerns have been addressed and resoved by management when needed, who are very approachable and knowledgeable. We honestly feel safe dropping off our baby knowing he is taken care of and loved.

Kiddi Caru was frequently recommended when we were considering potential nurseries but regrettably cannot recommend this setting despite the change of management a couple of years ago. Focusing on the last year, the pre-school experience has been disappointing. The observations and handovers received haven't painted a picture of a particularly enriching experience that supports school readiness. These have become increasingly generic to the whole room. The personal progress reports we have received each term have been a copy and paste of the previous one. There have been a few standout staff who have really supported my child over the years but wider staff retention and experience has undermined the overall quality of care, including adequately dealing with the inevitable behavioural issues that occasionally arise.

We are so happy with the care provided at Kiddicaru. Our daughter absolutely loves it there and we know that she is having so much fun and learning so much at the same time. All the staff appear to know the children as individuals and seem to genuinely care about and enjoy their job. I recommend the nursery to everyone.

Our little one started at Kiddi Caru last Summer when she was about to turn 1 and attends 3 full days a week. I cannot praise the staff at the nursery enough- the activities they put on daily for the kids are wonderful, the variety and quality of the menu served is great, the running of the nursery is efficient and smooth and everyone is always so positive and friendly. I cannot recommend them enough.

Excellent nursery, as a first time mum I found my child starting nursery so daunting but he's been at Kiddi Caru for over a year now and absolutely loves it there. I trust them with his care wholeheartedly and communication is brilliant, all on a regularly updated app. Followed by a chat about his day at pickup. Highly recommend.

My 2 and 4 year old go to kiddi caru sowton at exeter. I couldn't have found a better nursery for them. They are so happy and love going there. The staff are kind, considerate and always so friendly and open to feedback. The meals provided are excellent keeping allergies under consideration. The amount of learning through play is also fantastic and both of them have progressed so much. Highly recommend this lovely place!

We couldn’t be happier with Kiddi Caru Sowton; the team are always happy to spend time with us to update us on our little ones' day, which includes time indoors and outdoors. A nursery with outdoor space was very important to us. The team are all brilliant, and we receive a good amount of communication.

We are very pleased with the service that we have received from our nursery - our daughter loves going and absolutely adores her key worker and all the other members of staff in her room. We are very happy to leave her in their care, which is a testament to how happy we are with them!

I have been over the moon with my experience with the nursery since my daughter started last year. She settled so well into her room, thanks to the care and compassion of the staff, and she always has so much fun with the activities they provide. The little touches of receiving photos via the app and knowing what she has eaten/slept really make a difference. The nursery always seems clean, and everyone is always so welcoming at drop-offs and pick-ups. I couldn’t recommend the nursery more highly at making my transition to work that much easier knowing that my daughter is so well cared for.
14 March 2024
Absolutely fantastic staff; they really care. My son gets so excited to go to nursery and play. He’s only just one, but he sees the doors and starts wiggling around and clapping. The app they use is fantastic and very informative. Can’t praise them enough!
14 March 2024
Staff are attentive and caring. Updates on activities are good. Recent management changes have provided more communication, updates and information. Feedback from previous surveys has also been thorough.

My child has been at Kiddi Caru since October last year, and I have nothing but praise for the work all of the staff do. My child has settled in so quickly, and the staff's effort to make them feel at home is remarkable. Now on drop off, my child lunges out of my arms for a morning cuddle with the staff in the room. They regularly update the app, which is nice for me to take a look at during my working day to see how the day is going. They also post regular updates about activities that have taken place. I 100% would recommend it to anyone!
14 March 2024
Very professional, supportive, kind staff and management. Very attentive staff and all had a great understanding of my son's needs and parents' wants. Nothing was too much trouble. My son loved his time at the nursery and talks about it long after his departure.
13 March 2024
Kiddi Caru Sowton is such a lovely nursery and preschool. Our son has come on leaps and bounds there, and he always comes home very happy, chatting about the staff and the things he has done that day.
13 March 2024
He has suffered a few injuries which were avoidable since he started attending at 8 months old. Changes have been made following these injuries but in my view, the hazards were obvious and it was shocking to me they were not considered a safety risk until my son was hurt. Other than this, the staff are lovely and he has a good variety of food.

The staff are very professional, friendly and helpful. My child really enjoys this nursery. After his attendance at the nursery, I can see a difference in my child's behaviour and language. Thank you to all the staff members involved.
06 April 2023
I feel extremely lucky for our child to have a place at this nursery - the staff are fantastic and take care of our child like they are one of their own. They are gentle but set clear boundaries and our child is constantly stimulated by their endlessly organised activities. There is a fantastic garden area open to all ages, which gives a great opportunity for them to mix and it’s a huge space. There are some fantastic toys available to play with both indoors and in the garden and I’m always overjoyed to hear what our little one has been up to in the day via the app. We’re constantly kept up to date with activities and meals - also sleep and nappy changes. The meals are nutritious and they provide fantastic options for different dietary requirements.

Fab nursery and all staff show genuine love and care for the children. Love the updates as well via the app - so lovely to keep in touch in this way. It’s just a shame that childcare in the UK is so expensive but still worth it in summary.

Wonderful staff and facilities. The staff really took the time to help my daughter settle after a real struggle with separation anxiety following Covid. She has grown in confidence, is happy to go to the staff members, has made friendships and most importantly, enjoys her time at nursery. Both my children have thrived at Kiddi Caru!
