Overall Experience

We are so happy with our experience at Kiddi Caru Nursery. As a first-time mom, I was so worried about my daughter starting nursery, but I like the fact that the nursery updates you on your child's daily activities at the nursery. When my daughter started going to Kiddi Caru, she loved it. Her key workers

treated her like their own, showing genuine warmth and care. She was so fond of them, and I saw significant changes in her development. I would definitely recommend Kiddi Caru nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience

This is the first time our son has attended nursery, and I can say he has been the happiest. His social skills developed so much over a very short space of time. His speech improved tremendously too. He moved from just words to sentences by his third week and we have been so impressed. His concentration

span, as well as his ability to just sit through something was something that we noticed he improved since starting nursery.
The staff were very engaging, you could see their passion in working with the little ones. My little one takes time to warm up to people, but he quickly formed good relationships with them. The communication was also good, updates on time etc.
The environment was is always very clean and inviting to young kids. We were overall impressed.
There is lots of parking space too, which is a plus.
I'm sad he has had to leave so early due to family circumstances, but we are grateful that he was part of such an amazing team.
I highly highly recommend Kiddi Caru.

Overall Experience

We have two boys at Kiddi Caru, and we could not be happier with the support we have all received.
We had a tough transition to the nursery setting, especially with our eldest, who has always been of quite a sensitive nature. The staff at Kiddi Caru were incredibly understanding and supportive to

us all, deploying different techniques to help the boys adapt and settle in to the nursery environment.
9 months later, our boys are so happy, confident, cheeky, developing at a rate of knots and we couldn't be happier!
We received an enormous amount of support whilst our eldest has been having help with his speech and language, and the change is his talking has been transformational!
We're so grateful to the whole team at Kiddi Caru. The staff are so welcoming, talking to us so personably, and always interacting with both our boys. Every staff member knows every child by name, and you can see how affectionately they feel for the children and vice versa.

Overall Experience

We have loved the experience at Kidi Caru. I have seen my son really grow into the nursery. We started him at KC when he was 9 months old, he has developed so well over the last few months and a lot of the credit goes to the love, care and attention he receives when he's at nursery. I feel like they

genuinely care about the children and look after them like their own. Drop offs have now become easy because I can see my son wanting to go in himself and play. I can leave him there feeling assured that he's looked after just like I would look after him.

We have recently started receiving daily updates with pictures on what our child is up to at nursery. It is so lovely to hear and see what is happening and to chat to him about his day and feel part of his learning.
It also helps with Sunday evenings and knowing what he will be doing in the coming

week.
Thanks to all the staff for all they do.

Reply from Robyn Hattingh, Marketing Team Lead at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Basingstoke

Overall Experience

My little boy absolutely loves coming to nursery. He has been there since he was 18 months old. The staff are so friendly and caring and always give a detailed handover when I collect him. He happily goes in and is very attached to the staff in the room and his key worker. There are lots of age-appropriate

resources for the children and lots of great activities for them to do throughout the day. It is lovely to see pictures and updates on what he has been doing. The celebration days the nursery holds like Mother's Day, Father's Day and themed days are lovely and it's so nice for parents to be able to come in and participate in these events. The Christmas Wonderland event and the summer event are extra special and show how much effort the staff put in to make it happen. My son loves Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Whiteley and I can't recommend it enough.

Such a caring team, our child thrives here having made lovely relationships with the caring staff and other children at the nursery. Our second child will be attending soon too.

of different types of food and meals cooked on-site. Thank you to the patient and kind staff for everything you're doing each day!

My son has been with Kiddi Caru Fareham since he was 1. We moved from another Kiddi Caru setting due to personal reasons. I am very happy with the care he receives and I feel confident leaving him in their care. He settled quickly and was happy to go into the baby room. He is now in toddler and loves

it. He enjoys the activities they offer and has made friends with the other children. Management has always been helpful and friendly. He has a great bond with his key worker and she always goes above and beyond to make sure he is happy. The nursery is clean and inviting.

Overall Experience

My nine-month-old son has just started Kiddi Caru Park Gate and the staff have been amazing! I was initially really nervous about leaving him as I had never left him with anyone other than my mum for an hour or two and all of the staff have gone above and beyond to ensure he is as settled as possible,

the care they have provided is exceptional and I will always be so grateful to them for taking such good care off him. The management team have also been incredible and not only have they supported him with settling they have also been there to support me whilst I transitioned back to work after maternity, the kindness all staff have shown doesn't go unnoticed and I will be forever grateful. I would recommend Kiddi Caru to anyone. There is no better feeling than knowing your baby is being cared for to an exceptionally high standard.

My little one has been going to the nursery for six months and his confidence has just grown. He has a lot of dietary issues but the nursery and staff there are fantastic with making sure he is included at meal times but also kept safe. He has gone from someone who would cry when being dropped off to

someone who now doesn't even look back at me when I bring him in.
I get progress reports and photos of what he is up to which is lovely to see.

My granddaughter has been attending Kiddi Caru for nearly 2 years and this past year she has come on so much, especially since moving to preschool. I know there have been some management changes recently but we have always been kept in the loop and communication has been great throughout and there have

been many positive changes since the change in management they are much more approachable, friendly and professional. I definitely feel once my granddaughter arrives at nursery she is welcomed and cared for exceptionally the staff are so caring and lovely and passionate about the children. There always seem to be exciting new activities set up daily and my granddaughter is learning new things weekly it's amazing what she comes out with. Everything is uploaded on the app so can check her meals which the chef does amazing catering lovely meals for all. Overall Kiddi Caru really is a safe happy nursery and I wouldn't send her anywhere else the team are just outstanding in my eyes.

Our child really enjoys going to nursery, she has made lots of friends and enjoys doing all the activities that are laid on for her. She also participates in tennis once a week which is a skill I really want her to learn.
In terms of her development, she has come on leaps and bounds, for example, her

communication skills, writing skills and even being able to eat properly with a knife and fork.
The staff at the nursery are all really professional and engage with our daughter, and it's nice to see that she is so happy there.
