My son has been at this nursery 7 months now. I am very pleased and impressed with the care and commitment of staff. I know he is well looked after and I am given feedback about him at the end of the day. The nursery has a clean, bright, spacious environment with a recently renovated garden that my
son loves. There are regular fun days and social activities. Many thanks.


Would Kiddicaru consider a digital learning log that parents could access online and see/download photos and track their child's learning? One is used at my daughter's nursery. As a parent, it made me feel involved and connected.

I have no hesitation in recommending this nursery. The staff are approachable and friendly and they do really care for your child. The environment is clean. Children's activities are fun and active. Any concerns or queries are dealt with promptly. My child always leaves there with a smile so I know
she is in good hands. The manager is fantastic and always makes time for you, whatever the query. The whole team works very well together. A special mention to one member of staff in pre-school, who is my daughter's key worker, she has done wonders in managing my daughter's behaviour (as she can be a bit of a handful at times). We will miss the nursery when my daughter leaves this week but wish them all the very best for the future.

My daughter has been at Kiddi Caru for 6 weeks and is very happy there. She goes over every morning with a smile on her face and I know she will be well looked after. I get a daily report and she has always done a range of activities and eaten food I wouldn't have even thought of trying. Can't recommend
highly enough, just wish they had a better IT system so I could see photos of her doing on the day, although getting random photos sent home in her bag is a lovely surprise.

My daughter has been at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Walnut Tree for 3 months now and she absolutely loves it! Her development has come on leaps and bounds. I love dropping her off in the mornings and her waving at the staff and her friends. I go away happy knowing that she is going to have a ball!
The staff
are very friendly and approachable and my daughter is very comfortable with them.

Fantastic!
The staff are friendly and always give time to you on drop off and collection giving a detailed account of what your little one has been up to.
They have always kept my son engaged in various themes and I love that they celebrate all occasions from the World Cup and National Superhero
Day to Divali and Christmas giving my son an understanding of the world and cultures around him.
Mealtimes are all healthy and my hungry boy has loved all the food prepared for him.
A great indoor and outdoor space for the children to play in and at the end of your time here they celebrate the children’s achievements with a graduation.
The graduation highlighted just how much attention the staff pay to every child when they spoke about their individual qualities.
I am extremely happy that we chose Kiddi and would recommend them to all considering a safe, caring and fun space for their little ones.

My son has been coming to Kiddi Caru since 2016. He has come on leaps and bounds and it's mainly all thanks to the nursery. Being a working mum this nursery allowed me to go to work but know my son was very well looked after. My son also eats so much variety now too. With home life too the manager and
all the staff have made our lives easier and my son loves going and will miss you all when he goes to big school in September.

An absolutely wonderful nursery! My son has been going here for over 2 and a half years and the staff have always been fantastic.
He enjoys all the activities on offer and I particularly like how they spend time in the garden every day. The staff and manager always listen to any questions you have
and communicate well regarding my son's progress. My son has thrived over the last couple of years thanks to the wonderful staff at Kiddi Caru.

I have two children who attend this nursery and I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to anyone! It is quite simply outstanding; no wonder it has an outstanding OFSTED rating. I have complete and utter peace of mind that my children are being looked after extremely well by very polite,
professional and friendly staff! They all deserve gold medals! My children have lots of fun and eat extremely well with a very varied healthy menu, saving me much needed time!
I cannot gush enough about this nursery and its staff - it is spectacular!

Best nursery with very supportive staffs. We got the best care for our child. It was a second home for him. He has graduated this year from nursery and we adore him growing with love and affection they gave him from Kiddicaru.


The welfare of the children in care is paramount and through an excellent

key carer system throughout nursery to preschool. Professionals are able to ensure that the individual needs of every child are met. My child's communication has improved to a great standard. The staff are all so welcoming and well informed. I really like how well the staff know all the children and how keen they are to engage with parents. Thanks to them they were not complaining even if we called many times to inquire about my child on an everyday basis.
It's quite bright and spacious with excellent extracurricular activities. We as parents highly recommend Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Walnut Tree, Milton Keynes.

Knowing my son and how difficult it is with stranger, the nursery was able to handle him. Within a few days he started and much happier when he comes home and very neat as well.

My daughter was attending a different nursery but I switched her to Kiddi Caru. I couldn't have made a better decision as they are much more of a better fit for our family.
Inclusive activities and very family friendly. My daughter has really come on leaps and bounds! All the staff are friendly and
you can tell they really care about the children they provide for. The food they provide is really great and I love all the themed activities and special days they promote. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I am very happy with nursery.
I still remember my sons first settling sessions and how the staff supported my son during setting time.
All the staff are very dedicated.
In one word my son feels nursery as his second home.
Thank you Kiddi Caru.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.508)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.508) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Walnut Tree, Milton Keynes is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 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 4.566 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Walnut Tree, Milton Keynes is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.566

  • 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 4.942 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Walnut Tree, Milton Keynes is based on 13 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 69 number of registered child places is 13.8. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.8 = 0.942

  • 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.
