This Kiddi Caru nursery is located in the heart of the Whiteley Community Centre, next to the primary school. They offer flexible childcare for all families plus free childcare for all three and four-year-olds, as well as school days and a 45-week option, allowing you to take the summer holiday off with no childcare costs.

They understand that, as a parent, you have a million things to do and prepare for your child every morning. So, they were hoping to ease your daily routine by taking care of nappies for your little one whilst they are at nursery.

The nursery is proud of its well-resourced, age-appropriate playrooms, offering a wide and exciting range of learning experiences. Children are encouraged to learn through play and to follow their own interests. All educational activities are planned by the highly trained Early Years Practitioners. They have an amazing sensory room which is even used by external childcare services, an area that creates a calm learning environment.

Ask about the nursery's all-inclusive activity programme which is delivered by its very own staff and includes Sing & Sign, Boogie Mites; all fun activities with lots of educational benefits which the children love to do throughout the week.

The wholesome food is prepared fresh and daily by the onsite chef and caters for all stages from weaning to older children serving themselves to encourage independence.

Your little one is in very safe hands, not just within the secure environment which includes a double door entry system, but with the staff team all paediatric first aid trained and regularly attend training courses.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 1yr old. The care she received has varied over the years (she’s now 4), however, in the last 6mths, the care in the preschool room is really great. The room leader is great - you can tell she genuinely cares for the children. My daughter who is bright
has picked up numbers, letters can do simple addition and has grown in confidence. I put more emphasis on how much they care for my child than learning (she’s got years of that ahead of her). But they’re doing great at both. My thanks to the manager and staff for making my daughter happy.

All in all a good nursery, we have used it for both our children, second is still there.


Staff are great and they do a huge range of activities, they use the garden lots and take occasional trips out in the local area too. Always messy play, themed activities, reading, and general toys.

Our family could not be happier with Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Whiteley! Our family recently moved to the area and the nursery staff and teachers welcomed our family and children with such warmth and kindness. Our children leave nursery every day with a smile and plenty of adventures to share. Thank
you to the teachers for all you do and for caring for our children in such a special way! It is much appreciated!

We love our Kiddi Caru nursery, my little girl has been attending for 3 months and after a difficult settling in period for her (which the staff were extremely patient and very helpful with) she now adores going to nursery. She is excited when she realises that she is being dropped off and happily goes
to her key carer and other familiar carers then waves me off.
She is always happy when I pick her up and usually tired from all of the lovely activities they do. I cannot fault anything, I had one issue which I raised and it was addressed immediately, we have not had any problems at all since.

My grandson has had a lovely time at the nursery, he has now gone up to the preschool but has had a great time in the other rooms too.
The staff are so very caring and have helped with our difficult family situation and have spent much time with him. The learning is great too and the managers are lovely
and always have time to listen. I could not have picked a better nursery.

Both my daughters attend this nursery and are both excited to come.
The girls that look after my daughters have a lovely relationship with them and always welcome them when they come in. In the evening when I collect them, I get a hand over talking about their day and they always do so many different
activities, paint, garden, jelly play, dressing up, water and sand. The food is always varied and the girls love it.

My son has really enjoyed his days at nursery and he always comes home happy due to the excellent care given to him by the staff especially his key carer. There is always a range of activities provided for him to develop his learning through play and a wide range of sensory/messy play. He has opportunities
to play outside in all weathers and also to access the wonderful sensory room every week.

We are delighted with the quality of the care at Kiddi Caru Whiteley and have seen our little one develop so much since he joined. Our little one gets to experience lots of different types of play and his needs are always catered for. He also has an excellent and varied diet at the nursery which he
really enjoys. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.515)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.515) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Whiteley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 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 4.843 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Whiteley is calculated as follows: ( (188 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.843

  • 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 4.672 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Whiteley is based on 18 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 134 number of registered child places is 26.8. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 26.8 = 0.672

  • 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.
