My child has been attending Kiddi Caru since January 2020. The staff are all amazing and provide us with daily updates and regular progress reports.
My child is always happy to go to nursery and by the time he gets home he is so exhausted from all the fun he has that he tends to have a lovely relaxed
nap, ready for the rest of the day.
I was very anxious about leaving my child at nursery but it was the best thing we could ever do for him as he is progressing in leaps and bounds.
Meals are well balanced and varied and as a result of this my son is not a fussy eater at all.
Lots of outdoors activities and sensory play too which engages my son.
I couldn’t recommend Kiddi Caru more.
Thank you to all of the staff at Kiddi Caru for your 5-star care.

The team have been amazing especially with Covid-19, they have ensured my son has settled back okay, they have reassured me with the cleanliness and risk assessments in place to keep everyone safe, and they have emailed me pictures of him happy whilst at nursery. Management are doing so well to keep
the moral up and supporting families.

I reccomend the nursery to everyone it's so unique with its approach and the children learn so much from using the real authentic resources, it's great value for money and such a variety of food, the staff are amazing and go above and beyond, they have been fantastic during Covid and provide such a
safe, stimulating environment for the children.

Whenever I have dropped my niece to the nursery, she and I are always welcomed with a smile. They ask how I am and how my niece is and she is so happy to go into nursery straight away. She runs in hugging the members of staff and goes towards her room.

We have been absolutely thrilled with our choice of nursery. The whole team at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte are so friendly and all know our daughter by name.
When we first joined our daughter went through a thorough settling in process which really helped all of us to get to know the staff,
routine and room. They provide a nutritious and varied meal plan which is updated throughout the year and as a result, our daughter eats well there. Our daughter really loves the outside play area and we particularly like how they offer regular walks around the lake and surrounding area.
Any queries or minor issues we've had have been quickly dealt with and been suitably rectified. The staff are all very professional and clearly follow their standard procedures.
Our daughter has absolutely blossomed since joining Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte and we love watching her interact with the staff at drop off/pick up and hearing what she has been up to during the day.

Our son has been attending this nursery since he was 9-months-old and has settled in comfortably. The staff is caring and look after my son like their own. He enjoys the activities there and is encouraged to try new experiences and new foods. My son has developed a lot since joining nursery. Lovely
atmosphere and highly recommend it.

My daughter loves going to this nursery. She has formed close bonds with the staff in her current room. There is a wide range of activities (although I am not sure that the advertised activities occur each week) and plenty of time in the garden (even in the winter). I have found the staff to be very
responsive to queries I have raised. I would definitely recommend this nursery to others.

My daughter has been at this nursery for the last few months and she really enjoys it. She happily goes in each morning and is excited to see the staff.
We were given as many settle sessions as needed before she started to ease her in. You are also kept up to date when children transition between
rooms and are given settle sessions.
There are a variety of activities on offer and whenever I drop off or collect my daughter she seems to be doing something different. There is also the opportunity for her to spend time outside each day and this is encouraged. In the short time she has been there she has picked up so many new things and it has done wonders for her development.
At pick up and drop off the staff keep you up to date. I much prefer having this interaction with the staff and hearing about her day as opposed to relying on an online portal.
Overall the staff clearly care about what they do and it shows in the way the children interact with them.

My daughter has attended Kiddi Caru, Milton Keynes, for nearly 1 year now full time. I moved her here when we moved home. The nursery is open longer hours than the previous nursery and I really like the way they use real-world items such as old phones and drum parts for the children to play with. The
staff are excellent and support from all the team has been above and beyond.

My daughter loves nursery. She started off on a rocky start as would just cry at every drop-off but now she walks into nursery and even waves bye to me. One criticism I do have is the lack of daily updates on what your child is up to. Although we get a summary of what is written in the books, having
an online portal would be great to see what your child is up to in the day. I joined this nursery as I was told by the time my daughter starts the portal would be up and running however it has been 4 months and still no sign of a portal.


Other than that I can't fault the nursery at all. All the staff are wonderful and the set up is always different to keep every child entertained on a daily basis.


Reply from Rosie Cartwright, Marketing Assistant at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Caldecotte

Thank you for recognising how essential well-qualified, enthusiastic staff are required to delivering outstanding childcare to progress your little one’s continuous learning. We will pass your kind feedback on to our team at Caldecotte.


When you have a moment, please ask the nursery management team how they can inform you of your child’s day; we have available a daily sheet, day book and also the development folders which are readily available to view at any time and highlights all the education and learning activities that have taken place.


We are currently trialling an online portal, so it is on its way to being implemented.

My son absolutely loves this nursery! He is so happy here and goes running in every morning, with a smile on his face. He has learnt so much, and as a first-time mother - you worry about leaving your child with anyone who isn’t you or your partner! The staff couldn’t love him more and I truly feel he
is looked after and loved when we are at work and not there to care for him.

Great nursery!


It was hard for me to let someone else watch my daughter but I felt at ease after having as many settle in session as she needed.
Lovely staff and very professional.
She now loves nursery and to know she is safe, well fed and stimulated during her 3 days. Perfect!
We are very happy

we found.

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.
