Kiddi Caru is not just a day nursery; it’s a great start in life!

The nursery is bright, homely and spacious with a fantastic outside area for children to enjoy; an environment that is safe and secure.

The welfare of the children in their care is paramount and through an excellent key carer system they are able to ensure that the individual needs of every child are met.

As well as providing all the activities you would expect from a top-quality nursery, they also offer extra curriculum activities such as yoga, French, music and movement and sing and sign. They believe these activities are simply part of their quality brand and should be enjoyed by all children – therefore these programmes are provided at no extra cost.

Since joining the nursery, my son has developed in many ways. He is more confident and looks forward to going into nursery. Staff are friendly, supportive and very helpful. They are very caring and professional. Management are always very accommodating. They have a variety of activities to keep children
entertained and learn out of it. The environment is conducive to learning and development of children. My elder son also attended the same nursery and we are very happy with all the care we received from Kiddi Caru.

My 22-month-old son has been at the nursery for 5 weeks now. He only goes in 1 day a week so settling him in has been challenging. I have been very impressed with the care and commitment all the team in the Ladybird room have demonstrated throughout this time. I would go in to collect him and every
single member of the team would talk to me about his progress that day, which shows they are all invested in his wellbeing and development. His experience of nursery is now very different to when he started, due to this dedication.

I can not recommend Kiddi Caru highly enough. When my daughter started a few months ago she really struggled with separation anxiety, the nursery staff have been amazing. They have supported her to settle in and been really reassuring to me, they have made a very difficult experience much easier. My
daughter is now settled and thoroughly enjoys her days at nursery. They do lots of activities with the children and the room is really spacious. She loves the food and eats really well. I’m so happy with our choice of nursery, Kiddi Caru is an amazing nursery.

All staff are very helpful and friendly. Made us feel very welcome and looked after.
However, I maybe would have liked to see a half day option, instead of just a full day. It gives parents flexibility.

Reply from Sara Meikle, Marketing Assistant at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Peterborough

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us and for your kind words about our nursery. Unfortunately, at the moment, we do not offer half days but if they were to become an option, our parents would be the first to be offered the half day places.

I have enjoyed to see my child settle in to the Nursery. I love all the different activities they undertake and how they put fun into the learning. The menu on offer is also very balanced and well thought out. The care taken to track each child's progress is excellent.

The nursery provides a safe and fun learning environment for my child. The staff work hard and the extra curriculum activities demonstrate their commitment to the children. We have recommended this to friends/family in the past, with the only factor not to be extremely likely is the cost is not always
affordable to all. We like the nursery and the staff that support our child, with the friendship groups of the children being a real positive. Will always signpost people to consider Kiddi Caru when looking for childcare.

Both my children have attended Kiddi Caru Day Nursery in Peterborough over the last 9 years and standards have remained very high. They both started from 6 months through to pre-school and thoroughly enjoyed their journey through each age class putting them in good stead for school. The nursery is a
great environment to grow and learn but I must say it's the staff that make this nursery stand out from the rest! They build amazing relationships with the children and really care about their education, health and welfare. Highly recommended!

Lovely nursery. Helps my Lithuanian son settle in the nursery. Would recommend for everybody. Only one thing which I don't like is that you can't book just half a day. Doesn't matter how many hours your little one goes, you still need to pay the full amount for the full day.

Reply from Sara Meikle, Marketing Assistant at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Peterborough

Kiddi Caru overall is a great nursery I have had no problems with the care of my child. The only down side is management and staff turn rotation in some of the rooms.

Brilliant nursery! Warm and cosy! My son started nursery and could not speak a word in English. Now he is almost fluent and ready to start reception in September! Nursery teachers were extremely supportive! He enjoys his days at the nursery and shows a big interest in going there every morning! Well
done, keep it up!!

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.299)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.299) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Peterborough is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 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 4.466 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Peterborough is calculated as follows: ( (169 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (26 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 262 Ratings = 4.466

  • 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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Peterborough is based on 19 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 114 number of registered child places is 22.8. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.8 = 0.833

  • 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.
