Both our children have had the best possible start for school. They are really happy with all their carers and have made friends with many of the children.

My son has just finished after starting at eight months old. He has received amazing care and thoroughly enjoyed his time but is now off to big school. As an August baby, preschool have done a fantastic job at supporting getting him ready for his next steps in leaving. A massive thank you to all the
lovely staff there, they are a fantastic team.

My son has been at this nursery since the age of 9 months and loves it here. As we approach his last month before school, it is great to look back at all the fun he had, the things he has learnt and how much he has grown and developed. He loves the garden and forest school, the food is great and staff
are attentive, friendly and helpful.

I'm really pleased with the relationship that my son has formed with his key worker and others that he sees every day. They genuinely seem to care about him and vice versa. My son loves going to nursery and enjoys the many and varied activities. He's come on leaps and bounds developmentally and socially.
The
only downside (and I'm reticent to comment since everything else is so good) is that they sleep in the same room as they play and there's quite a variation in the amount of sleeps that the age in his room needs. So he's often extremely overtired as he rarely gets the at least 2.5 hours he requires.

My daughter has been going to Kiddi Caru since she was 6 months old and is incredibly happy there. She loves all her carers and has made some lovely friends there. Every day she takes part in a variety of activities, from art to sport to play and loves it all. She is a very sociable girl outside of
nursery with excellent language. More importantly, nursery is helping her to develop empathy, emotional intelligence and the ability to express her feelings. The food and forest school are outstanding too.

Great nursery.
Great staff.
Kids have developed really well, and are very happy there, capable of so many new tasks that surprise us as the parents.
Kiddi Caru is the place to go if you remotely care about your kid's day, what they learn, what they eat, where they are, and that they’re in a safe
and inclusive environment.
If you’re a parent don’t hesitate at all, our experience has been amazing.

My little boy has attended since he was 5 months and we have been happy every step of the way. Me and his dad are extremely thankful to all the staff who make every day just that bit easier with their support and care towards out precious son. He loves going out in the Kiddi bus and really enjoys the
fab garden! With our son moving to his next room soon we can honestly say we wouldn't want him to be anywhere else. Thank you all the amazing staff!

I've been absolutely delighted with the care that my son has received thus far in Swan. The staff have been fantastic with both him and us and we couldn't recommend Kiddi Caru higher (actually I have done this via local selling groups/village hubs on Facebook when people have asked for nursery recommendations).


I really like the book and notes from each day so I know what he's been up to, what he's liked and what he's eaten.


He's always so happy to get there every morning which makes dropping him off so much easier.

My son is always happy when we pick him up and the girls that look after him are lovely. Even staff from other rooms all know him by name and always say hello! I like the element of security the nursery provides and the progress books are wonderful. He comes home with several new words a day and really
absorbs what he is learning throughout his time at nursery.

We highly recommend Kiddi Caru day nursery. The staff have worked wonders with our son who has and still does find the drop off very upsetting. They have done an amazing job of settling him and helping him to gain confidence. He really enjoys his time at nursery and has learned so much since being there.
It is a great opportunity for him to socialise with lots of other children and adults.


Thank you Kiddi Caru for all your support so far, you have been great.

These guys are complete professionals, their approachable and friendly attitude to child care makes it an easy choice.


You can see the social and cognitive development with your child as they leave the nursery enriched from the day's activities.


Their debrief on the entire day from nappies to

food to programmes show they care about both their delivery and your child.


I am very proud of what they achieved and am very happy to recommend using them - I wouldn't consider leaving my child with any other nursery, once you have seen the best it would be hard to get elsewhere.

My children absolutely love it at Kiddi Caru Burgess Hill. They only attend a couple of days a week, but always ask every morning if they're going to nursery today! They talk about the staff on the way there and when they see the building, they shout "Yay, nursery!". You can't put a price on that!
The
staff at the nursery are always amazing and go out of their way to help you out if they can. They are great with the children and have a very good way of being fun, yet firm when needed which I think works well.
My children really like all the staff at the nursery and always wave and say hello when they see them. They also love the food, which I have to say is amazing! They have such lovely sounding meals and they do eat very well when they're there.
My two have learnt so much even in a short time at the nursery and that is down to the hard work and dedication of the staff.

Very pleased with Kiddi Caru. My son likes it in the nursery he can't wait in the morning to go to Kiddi Caru, he is afraid to be late, shouts to cars to move so he is in time. Personnel is very friendly, food seems to vary which is good because children can try and learn to eat different food, events
are exciting, activities are great. The most loved by my son is Forest School. He likes playing in the garden and in the sand pit. Highly recommended.

Very expensive, should have a way in which you are not charged if your child is on holiday if a certain notice period is given.

My daughter has been at Kiddi Caru almost a year and will soon be going up to the next stage. She has thrived since being there. Very engaging, entertaining and well fed. She loves the outdoor area and is regularly changed due to all the fun and messy activities they carry out. Although it seems like
a large and 'industrious' nursery, once they are within their rooms it is personal and has a more inclusive feeling. The benefits of being a larger nursery is they cater extremely well to dietary requirements, they have a very large, well equipped and varied outside space, and in addition, they have access to a large pool of staff whom have many creative ideas and fun activities for the kids.

Our child started in the baby room and progressed up to the 2yr to 3yr old room.


The staff were always very friendly and helpful, even when she was under the weather. The first two rooms were excellent and provided fantastic care, since moving up to the larger age group, we felt there has been

less structured learning within the room and too many children in a smaller area.


Overall Kiddi Caru is a nice nursery and we were very happy with the service they provided.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.813)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.813) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Burgess Hill is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 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 4.313 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Burgess Hill is calculated as follows: ( (96 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.313

  • 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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Burgess Hill is based on 10 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.5

  • 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.
