Overall Experience

When looking at a few nursery, Kiddi Caru Bedford was by far the best around! They were welcoming, warm and friendly. My family instantly loved the nursery. The nursery itself was well presented, clean and seemed a happy place for our child to attend. Since our child has been at the nursery he has loved

it! He eats and sleeps well there and has a great rapport with his key worker and the rest of the team. The management team are efficient and helpful whenever needed and always put the children first. I would highly recommend Kiddi Caru Bedford.

Overall Experience

The nursery provides excellent care for our child who started at 10 months old. They go over and beyond for onboarding, providing plenty of settle sessions and taking lots of thorough notes and discussions about our child's needs. Staff are highly communicative on the app and on phone if needed, everything

is recorded for peace of mind and it's very easy to keep up to date with news. All the carers greet your child by name at drop-off and are happy to chat about their day at pick up. There is clearly a great level of individualised care, which as an example can be seen in the regular photos and observations written by the carers. Our child can be a fussy eater at home but eats very well at nursery which is a real testament to the kitchen! There are always fun events and activities for the whole family to get involved in. The admin side could not be better run, with clear helpful comms and very well organised. Funding and hours also have great flexibility compared to other nurseries.

Overall Experience

My daughter loves going to Kiddi Caru. She just recently joined and has been enjoying it. She knows all staff at her room and tells us she likes each of them. We appreciate their feedback as well, both daily and weekly. We have noticed the all the different meals being served and for a picky eater it

is a win to see she has been eating a lot. Our experience are all very positive and we hope she continues to fluorish here. Well done team. And thank you.

Overall Experience

My little boy has been going to this nursery just coming up to a year and our experience with every staff member, from his primary care workers to the office team - have been so positive. It's a real community, we're updated regularly with his development, any concerns and just how his day has been.

The team in his room are so wonderful and have really helped my son become such a social and confident little boy - we love finding out the activities he gets up to and all the opportunities to get involved/come and check out what they're doing, any changes, ask questions etc.
The care of your child is not something you take lightly, but my mind was completely put at ease with Kiddi Caru, and I would really recommend this nursery.

Moving my son to Kiddi Caru in May 2023 from his pervious setting was the best decision we made. We noticed a difference straight away. The staff are so lovely and very friendly which really helped especially during transitioning to the next room/s.
It's so lovely to see how far our little boy has

grown and developed during his journey at Kiddi Caru.
Would defiantly recommend.

Overall Experience

It actually feels like you're handing your precious child over to family members, who always offer comfort to the children and assurances to the parents. You'll receive updates and notifications throughout the day.
The nursery is clean and has organised sections. The chef is wonderful, so our daughter,

who can be quite fussy at home, eats delicious, nutritious meals and a variety of fruit.
Her development has flourished and has been encouraged, just as we do at home.
The staff are amazing, friendly and attentive. Always willing to assist us parents wherever possible.
Parents are offered activities and suggestions to help children learn about the different events and seasons, to encourage learning at home. We receive weekly run-downs of the theme for the week and all activities the children enjoyed. Also, we receive regular observations on our child's development.
If you are searching for a nursery, based on our experience and the joy witnessed every day, we would highly recommend Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Bedford.

My grandson has been attending since just before his 1st birthday and now he is almost 3 and a half. He absolutely loves his 2 days a week here. He has come on leaps and bounds attending an extra speech and language session here just recently. Staff are friendly and all the extras they do for parents/caregivers

to come in a join in are great. Christmas is a fab day when Santa is in. Would highly recommend it, great Ofsted report.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Leighton Buzzard since she was around 16 months and she has settled in so well and loves going to nursery each day. The team seem to genuinely love interacting with her and they offer lots of activities for her to participate in. The team give updates

at the end of the day and the app is great for checking in on the essentials about their day. I think as with any nursery I always wish we had more communications/pictures etc. but genuinely I think they're so busy engaging with the children they don't have time for too many updates and we get a lot of verbal feedback so we always feel up to date. The nursery are great at keeping us updated with relevant local news which is great and they offer lots of opportunities for parents to come into the nursery. I can't wait for my little one to be old enough to go to visit the care home next door - such a lovely initiative. Overall we couldn't be happier!

Overall Experience

Brilliant nursery with a great staff, all very kind and very professional, and great with the kids.
(Note: So far we can only speak to the youngest "Koalas" room, as our daughter hasn't yet moved up to the bigger kids' rooms.)
Lovely and clean facilities with lots of varied activities and entertainment,

our daughter loves it and seems to be developing well in all the right ways since she started in 2024. She loves the garden, the indoor sand play, the music room, and basically everything!
We regularly get photos of her playing, as well as a weekly newsletter updating us on activities and such.
There is an app with updates throughout the day (recording food eaten, potty visits, naps etc.), though children do seem to keep the staff busy so the updates don't usually come in real-time. Nevertheless, it's quite useful.
They also regularly host family-invited activity days, though sadly these always seem to fall on Mondays when our daughter doesn't attend, bear that in mind.

Having four children all of which have attended previous nursery settings/childminders in the area over the years, can easily say this is the best one. My son struggled to settle with a childminder but has loved coming here. The staff are friendly and kind, the nursery always has lots going on and he

really enjoys his time spent here.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Bedford since April 2024 and absolutely loves it. Her confidence has grown enormously and she is always excited to go there. She gets to try lots of different activities - she really enjoys baking and playing in the garden. I get regular communication

and I'm always informed of accidents. My daughter gets to try lots of different foods which she clearly enjoys as she apparently asks for seconds some days. The nursery holds various events throughout the year to involve parents/family, including a Christmas grotto which was so lovely. I honestly cannot fault them. All the staff there are so lovely and so supportive. Management has taken into account our individual family circumstances and has been very supportive and understanding of our situation. It's reassuring to know my daughter is so happy and so well looked after. I am so grateful to each and every one of them for giving her such a positive experience at the nursery. I would recommend them to anyone.

Our son started in the baby room and has moved up since then, he loves nursery and his development has been incredible since he joined.
