Kiddi Caru staff have always been amazing, and our children have always enjoyed their days at nursery. The food is varied, and there are always activities planned. We look forward to the reintroduction of parent's evenings, so great we can discuss our children’s development in more detail.

We joined around a year ago and my little boy has never looked back. In both his rooms he has made friends and connections with the staff. It shows how much they get to know the children individually.
My son loves it there and has since day 1 they do so much in the form of fun that is helping the
kids learn on so many levels.
Staff always seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs and the children too.

The staff are very attentive and caring, making you feel at ease when you leave your child. They keep me up to date on what my child is doing via the app online. They also take more time to understand Boran as English is his second language. Definitely recommend.

I could not be happier with Kiddi Caru. My daughter loves going there, and it's plain to see that her time there has done wonders for her learning and development, far beyond what I would expect of someone her age. The staff are all so pleasant any time I go there, and my daughter always says what a
fantastic time she has with the 'grown ups'. The activities at the nursery have opened my daughter's eyes to so many new interests and things to do and talk about at home, and she has learned so much.
When Covid shut everything down, I was so impressed with everything Kiddi Caru did to ensure everyone's safety once they were allowed to reopen. Times have been challenging for everyone, but the nursery always managed to exceed expectations to keep providing continued care while other places had to remain closed.
I would recommend Kiddi Caru to anybody in a heartbeat. I feel they have played a massive part in giving my daughter the absolute best start and foundation for her future education.

All staff are very helpful and considerate, and always have the best interests of the children at the heart of what they do. Our daughter often comes home telling us what she has done that day and how the staff took part. All issues are raised sensitively and staff are happy to give advice if asked.

A really wonderful nursery. All the staff are friendly, they really care about your child and their progress. We are always kept up to date on how our child is doing and what they have been up to during the day. My daughter absolutely loves her carers and loves going to nursery. It is so nice to take
her in and know that she will be well looked after. It’s always hard to leave your baby but it makes it easier knowing that a lovely team of people are looking after them. I highly recommend this nursery.

I was nervous about going back to work and leaving my 5-month-old in a nursery, but he absolutely loves it! The sweet pea room is educational and fun for the young ones. A special shout out to two members of staff who made me feel at ease and clearly really care for the babies in their care.

I currently have two children at the nursery, and I am so happy I chose Kiddi Caru. My son has always struggled with separation from me, but I am so happy with how the staff at Kiddi Caru have helped him - this helped with my decision for childcare for my youngest. I am impressed with how much learning
they do and the variety of food, and I love the new parent app where you can see what they get up to. Thank you, Kiddi Caru Basingstoke.

My son started Kiddi Caru in November 202,1 and since then, he has come on leaps and bounds. All the staff there are so friendly and welcoming, and my son has achieved things in that short time that I didn't think he would and he has. All the staff are approachable and listen to all your questions.
I'm so happy my son goes here.

The staff are always so friendly. My child enjoys her time in the nursery with so many toys around. I feel secure putting her in their care during the day. They always tell us how the day went. Most days, it's a good day with no meltdowns at teatime. Excellent.

Absolutely great nursery, my son has been going there for months now and he is loving it. The staff are really attentive, especially with his millions of allergies.
He only goes a couple of days a week but you can tell the difference, he is learning more social skills and some of the artwork we get
is super cute.
COVID has hit us all pretty bad the past few years but Kiddi Caru has managed to keep things operating as smoothly as possible for us parents.
Would highly recommend!

My daughter started nursery in March and after settling in sessions struggled to settle as this was her first experience in a childcare setting. The staff went above and beyond to make her feel safe and help her to settle into the nursery. We have noticed her development progress after a few short months
at the nursery in terms of social skills, concentration on tasks, and drawing. We cannot thank the wonderful staff enough. Would definitely recommend Kiddi Caru Basingstoke.

Since my daughter started nursery a few months ago I've had a huge amount of support from the team who looks after her. I was very nervous to be leaving her and returning to work as little one is a contact napper and was breastfed and refused bottles, but the team have been amazing and helped little
one settle within about a week. They give excellent updates at the end of every day and keep you informed if things do go off track.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.867)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.867) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Basingstoke is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.867 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Basingstoke is calculated as follows: ( (283 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 323 Ratings = 4.867

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Basingstoke is based on 27 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 121 number of registered child places is 24.2, which has been reached with 27 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
