My child is never hesitant to get up in the morning to go to nursery to see his teachers and friends. We are quite amazed how much he loves to go and see them everyday. He absolutely loves all the staff and mention them as his best friends. We are quite pleased that all the teachers are making that
difference.

I have been so impressed with how welcoming and supportive Kiddi Caru have been from the get-go. In September, we decided to relocate to Bristol and after 1.5 years at our little boy's very first nursery, it was such a big change for him. He moved houses, cities, and nurseries all at once, and it wasn't
easy. In fact, at first, he went on hunger strike during the day, but the nursery stepped in and found ways to help him eat, and now he's become a much stronger eater. This was the most reassuring thing I could have wished for. The wonderful support provided by the nursery has made such a difference and he has settled so well! He's gone from crying all the way to nursery to skipping in, feeling excited! When you're trusting someone with the most precious thing in your entire life, you have to feel like they're in safe hands - and I really do with the wonderful team at Kiddi Caru (Great Park Road). Thank you so much, everyone!

Our eldest 3.5 yrs and youngest 1 yr both love their days at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool. Our eldest moved from another nursery when we moved house but the staff were brilliant at helping him settle in. Everyone who works there is so friendly and genuinely seems to love working with the kids
there. The updates on the app are good and the activities they have the children doing seem to keep them engaged and entertained. Would recommend without hesitation.

My son has been attending Kiddi Caru Great Park Road for just over a year. He joined as part of the Rockets class and the staff have supported him with the transition up to the preschool Stars. In the past 12 months, we have seen him develop in confidence and grow to adore his "teachers" in both rooms.
There's
honestly nothing I could fault about this nursery - the care, the curriculum, the environment, it's all more than we could ask for. I have already recommended the nursery to a friend, whose little boy started last month.
I'm not sure what else to say other than a big thank you to all the staff. It's not easy putting your trust in strangers to help raise your child, but I know he is getting a much more well-rounded upbringing thanks to their care.

This is the most wonderful, nurturing space we could have dreamed of for both our kids. The team are a ray of sunshine and always keeps a smile on all of our faces. The spaces are the perfect size - small enough to be intimate and not overwhelming but big enough to provide the kids with all the entertainment
they need. We also love that our baby gets to interact with the big kids and see her brother throughout the day. Thank you for all your kindness and hard work!

The team is full of love, very patient with children, and provides well-planned education, which makes me happy to send my two sons to study here. The chef's meals are diverse and rich. The nursery is very transparent, allowing parents to better understand their children's progress and learning in the
nursery. I am very grateful to this team.

Applied in December 2023 and was very grateful we were offered the place for my son to start in January 2024. We are 2 months in and I can’t believe how much he has grown since being there. All the staff have been very supportive of his changes and even ours. I can’t fault them at all. The daily updates
on app is fantastic. My son is starting school in September and giving him a chance to explore a bigger setting was the best thing I have done. He absolutely loves it there and has made many friends and great relationships with his childcare providers. It’s an incredible pre-school and I’m so happy to be apart of the family.

My daughter started nursery in January 2024 (18 months) and within a week of settling, she was ready for a full-day transition. She enjoys going there and is always happy exploring the variety of toys and learning aids that the nursery provides. I see a drastic difference in her confidence and independence.
All thanks to Kiddi Caru, a great park nursery team.
They are a bunch of super loving, smart and genuine people. My daughter attends this nursery 5 days a week full days and I would recommend this nursery to everyone from my own experience. She is enjoying every day and I am more relaxed and focused at my new work.
Thank you to all the staff. You rock!

Very pleased I chose this nursery for our daughter. She has settled really well within a very short period of time due to the friendly, caring and professional staff. She is well looked after and comes back home with a smile on her face. The app is really informative and keeps you updated throughout
the day as to what your child is doing. Would certainly recommend. Many thanks to all the staff.

My daughter has attended Mama Bears since was 9 months old and not once has not wanted to go. Everyday she walks in she says hello to everyone and barely says goodbye to me, which indicates she is happy to be there, feels safe to be left there and is looking forward to a day of fun with her friends
and practitioners. All meals are provided and generally varied and nutritious. The nursery use an app which the practitioners update throughout the day to let you know what your child is eating, toilet habits, sleep and what activities they have been doing throughout the day. Being a working mum, it is really important to me to see what she is doing so that I feel apart of her day. The only negatives are on occasion there have been staffing issues (mainly due to Covid) and the flex care option was removed at short notice, however, I can already see an improvement and the nursery do try to accommodate any extra days you may need at short notice. Overall a positive experience!

My son attends 3 days a week and he absolutely loves it. I feel so at ease dropping him off and collecting him and knowing throughout the day what he’s been up to from the daily updates I receive. My child has learnt so much from attending and loves the social aspect of socialising with other children.
Every day is a different learning day and activities they provide. They take pride in providing well balanced meals throughout the day and this has helped my son try new food he hasn’t before. This is the second time we have used the nursery as my 8 year old used to attend. The nursery offers other benefits such as flexi-care which is an added benefit. I would highly recommend the nursery, your child will love it and feel like it is their second home.

I’d like to say how happy we are with the nursery. Especially through the uncertainty when covid started. When the temporary manager stepped in, she was great with communication, information and all-round support in especially tough times. It settled our minds knowing where we stood and gave us confidence
in sending our child back to nursery with no worries. We’d also like to make a special mention our child's keyworker, she has been great with him and feel she has helped develop his confidence and various other skills. It was always a struggle getting our son into nursery happy but due to his keyworker's influence, and I’m sure some of the other team as well, he really enjoys going.
Thanks again

My daughter has been at Mama Bear's Great Park Road since she was 1 and with her leaving date fast approaching, I can honestly say for the last three years I have only the best memories. The staff are all wonderful, the setting is amazing and I feel confident leaving my daughter here every day. The
flexible option has been a lifesaver for us with my husband working shifts, it has meant we haven't been out of pocket on days when childcare wasn't needed. I can't thank Mama Bear's enough, I would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.572)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.572) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool Bradley Stoke (Great Park Road) 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 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 4.899 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool Bradley Stoke (Great Park Road) is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.899

  • 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 4.673 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool Bradley Stoke (Great Park Road) is based on 14 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 104 number of registered child places is 20.8. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.8 = 0.673

  • 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.
