Absolutely thrilled with Kiddi Caru Day Nursery. As a mother, it was incredibly important to me that my child was in a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. The staff are all so caring and professional.
I appreciate the variety of activities they offer, from arts and crafts to outdoor play,
which keeps my little one engaged and excited to go. I also love the clear communication from the staff, either at the end of the day or via the app.
I can see Kiddi Caru fosters a sense of community, and I'm so grateful for the warm, friendly atmosphere. It's reassuring to know my child is in such capable hands, especially with 5 staff members in particular.
I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a place where their child can truly thrive!

We are very happy with the nursery, all staff and management team are brilliant and we knew it was the right choice the moment we first viewed the nursery. Our daughter started in January when she was 11 months old and they have been great in helping her settle in and supporting her. She enjoys being
there and they do many activities which is great for her development. Communication with the team is great as well as the facilities and resources provided. We highly recommend Kiddi Caru at Caldecotte.

I cannot write a more glowing review and feel so lucky that we found Kiddi. Our child has been attending for 13 months since aged 14 months. The absolute joy and excitement he has about going to Nursery is the best measure of the amazing care, fun and nurture they provide. Each room and garden is beautifully
set up and sparks wonder and joy. Having so many rooms is unique and supports development with peers at appropriate ages and stages. He has developed so much and grown in confidence through the many varied learning opportunities, well-managed transitions, and strong key-worker relationships. Every member of staff is lovely, friendly and show genuine care. Management have gone above and beyond to accommodate our changing circumstances. Communication is excellent, supported by a brilliant IT platform enabling live updates of your child's day. As a parent I could not ask for more. My child adores Nursery and I have complete faith in the staff and setting.

My son has been attending this nursery for 5 months and I can't fault them at all. They supported myself and my son so well when he first started, which has led to him being really happy there. All the staff are lovely and kind and my son seems to know everyone even if they don't work directly with
him, it's such a positive and friendly environment. I love the updates I get of what he's been doing and I can see that he has a great time there. I am so glad I chose them to take care of my son.

We were very nervous to send our 1-year-old to nursery last September, worrying about how he would settle etc. The staff were great and the overall experience for us has been outstanding.
Right from day one, when we visited the nursery for viewing, settling sessions and after six months, that is today,
the staff have shown the same excitement to look after our little one.
Our boy started learning lots of new things and thanks to the professional approach of the staff which is helping him with personal development.
Also, the nursery is very accommodating of ad-hoc requests, unfortunately, we had a few situations where we had to change times, like leave the child for extra time etc., and the nursery was brilliant in responding to our requests and accommodated us as much as they could.
Overall, very happy with Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte and would highly recommend it.

We are really happy with the care our child receives here. Really professional, caring individuals who take the time to know the family as well as the child they care for.
Loads of space and a nice play area inside and out. Right on the lake too.
We like the level of different rooms they have available.
Our child loves going and gets so excited every week and comes home happy. Has been attending nearly a year now.
Always so welcoming and helpful.
The communication is spot on with the app too.

Could not feel more comfortable and at ease sending my son to Kidd Caru. He has excelled so much since starting and always leaves full of life and with a smile on his face. He adores the girls that look after him and I couldn’t be more grateful. Incredibly accommodating and really friendly team.

Brilliant nursery. My daughter joined Kiddi Caru when she was 11 months old, she is now 3 and absolutely loves it there. The staff are the best, always helpful, friendly and caring and the management team are always on hand should you need them. Nothing is ever an issue, very flexible and will accommodate
where they can. 10/10 recommend.

We would 100% recommend this nursery, they are brilliant and have looked after my boy since he was 9 months old. The nursery is always clean and has a good range of food (Promoting good eating habits).
The communication through the app is excellent, to know what he eats/doesn't eat (when he used to
wear nappies you would know all about nappy changes etc.). We receive nice updated pictures and it's good to see what activities have been planned. I would say the price range is a little above average but worth every penny.

I have two children who attend Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte now. They both settled in brilliantly with no issues. The staff are so helpful and friendly. The nursery is extremely accommodating, and we have been able to increase our hours quickly when needed. My eldest often surprises us with something
she has learnt at nursery. We love the app and being able to see photos and updates of the children.

My little boy has been attending since June 2022 and from the show around, I knew they were the nursery for us. They have been amazing with his care and supporting him grow. He is all smiles when I pick him up and chats away to tell me about his day. The ladies build a real relationship with the kids
and it shows.

We love Kiddi Caru Nursery, all staff are amazing and have made our little boy so much more confident. He struggles to be with but everyone has helped and given him time to find his feed. He eats all the meals at the nursery that he won't touch at home. We can’t thank all the staff enough it's an amazing
place for your little boy to grow and learn.

Very happy with this nursery so far, settled my child in well and have been very accommodating. My child was a little upset for the first few weeks on drop offs but they were very helpful and kind and did everything they could for a smooth transition. Pleased with the food menus, and frequent nappy
changes. The facilities there are great, and our child really enjoys her time. Would love to see more day to day updates on the app as its always nice to see! However, we have a daily book that's written in of how her day went, which is nice to read. Would love to be able to go inside and drop her off in the near future, just to see where she plays and who she plays with, and her favourite areas etc. But I guess with covid that had to stop temporarily. Thanks.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.925)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.925) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.970 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.97

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.955 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 89 number of registered child places is 17.8. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.8 = 0.955

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
