Overall Experience

Kiddi Caru in Taunton is a wonderful nursery. The staff are caring, happy, helpful and professional. My son has flourished with the Under 2's team and loves them. I returned to work feeling that he was in good hands and happy, which made the process much easier. This nursery has been a safe, special,

loving, and fun place for my son, and my family, and I highly recommend it.

Overall Experience

Generally not satisfied with the level of care received at this nursery. It’s always so chaotic and badly organised with kids being in different rooms constantly.
My child has been handed back to me on several times for pick up with a soiled nappy, she has had discharge from her ear before that has

been missed.
Reports of bumps and knocks with no one ever witnessing how it happened.
It’s short staffed so the ratio is something like 10 kids to 1 key worker so no wonder the level of care is bad.
I was told my child shows no sign of using the potty yet she’s always on the potty at home and in the other nursery she goes to. The list is endless which is why I am in the process of moving my child from this nursery.

Overall Experience

So pleased with Kiddi Caru. My little girl started at 10 months in the baby room and has now moved into a room for 1-2s. She loves nursery and picks her bag up at home and says ‘bye bye’. The girls in the Blackberry room as amazing! I get pictures of their activities all the time including mud painting,

riding on a trike outside and role play with babies! We couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery and would strongly recommend!

Overall Experience

Generally, really happy with Kiddi Caru Day Nursery. Always met by happy staff that seem to really enjoy their work and care a lot about our children. My daughter is only in the baby class and I think their outdoor space could do with a bit of investment but they make the most of what they have and

day-to-day activities always sound engaging and fun.

Overall Experience

My son has absolutely thrived since being at Kiddi Caru. He has come on leaps and bounds in all areas and I truly believe Kiddi Caru has played a big part in this. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the nursery keeps me well updated with what my son is doing and how he is throughout the day, I also

get lovely gifts of things my son has made.
The staff at Kiddi Caru couldn’t be more welcoming and always show my son warmth and love, it really feels like he is part of a family there.
I recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare and will continue to do so.

Best nursery, staff friendly, I can not remember all the names but two members of staff, in particular, always the best. Also, the manager is very friendly, helpful, I've seen her, many times, helping in the rooms which is not seen all the time in other places.
Both sons have attended the nursery and

it's the best in all areas.

Overall Experience

Kiddi Caru have been brilliant since I've been sending my eldest there and convenient for me with work. My daughter loves it and has developed wonderful bonds with staff.
It wasn't until August 2022, when my second daughter was born, that I truly saw how exceptional this place is. She was born with

a rare condition that resulted in us being in and out of hospital and complex surgery. The support we got from staff was mind blowing. They were sensitive to our situation and its impact on my eldest and always show a genuine interest in how we're doing. They even helped us fundraise for our daughter's surgery at the summer fete!
My second daughter has now started, with her additional needs. The staff have gone so far beyond my expectations to help her settle in. One staff member in particular has repeatedly demonstrated great initiative and has a brilliant handle on her feeding already. She proactively contacts me to benefit my daughter with her development and growth. The chef has been so accommodating to my and her changing needs.

My daughter loves her time at nursery and always throws herself into the arms of staff in the mornings. They offer a range of exciting things for her to do throughout the day; in particular, she loves the sensory room. They helped her transition onto a bottle and always keep me up to date with how she's

eating/drinking. We are very happy with her at Kiddi Caru.

My son has only attended for a few months and after a wobbly first few drop offs, he has settled into Kiddi Caru so well! The staff are amazing and the bond he has made with them is lovely to see! His learning, development and skills have improved so much in the short time he has attended. The updates
