Amazing nursery, my daughter is learning so much. I would recommend it to everyone. Everyone is so polite and friendly. The app is easier where you can see all the updates. The nursery is also tidy and looks organised.

No complaints. Amazing experience. Every member of staff is helpful, welcoming and super friendly. My child has struggled with speech in the past but is improving massively and that is because of the staff at the nursery, not only helping my child, but helping me also. She has come out of her shell
so much and looks forward to going to nursery!

Fantastic nursery. Clean, bright and secure with a lovely atmosphere. My daughter has been going since she was three and a half months old and absolutely loves it. The way they develop skills and instil confidence in the children is brilliant. Having shopped around, I can also say it is also very good
value.

Outstanding nursery. The staff are competent and friendly, and communication with parents is very good. They really care for our little ones and their development, performing objective performance assessments and holding regular parent evenings to discuss them. My children are very happy to go there
and they are developing well, and forming bonds with the staff as well as other kids. The positive environment is really helping them to learn and grow into awesome tiny humans.

Our son has been at Kiddi Caru Plympton for 2.5 years now - he received genuine and excellent care in each and every stage. Best decision to bring him there. He has many friends, loves the food and joins even the craft sessions.

Everyone is very friendly and the classes are a great size. My little one loves her days at nursery and really strives in her confidence and learning and I put that down to the effort the staff make at the nursery. My child’s key worker always updates us on developments and sends regular pictures and
descriptions on how the day has gone and we always feel very well informed. Any issues or concerns we have I feel we are listened to by our key worker and we feel a part of our child’s day even though we are at work and not present.

By far the best nursery we could find and hope for. Our child loves attending and they have developed really well, come home talking about their friends and members of staff as well as what they have all been up to each day. The communication, friendliness and professionalism of the management and
staff is second to none. Could not ask for a better, safer place for our child to be when they are not with us.

Our daughter has been going to Kiddi Caru Plympton for five months and the development in her is amazing! After the initial nervousness of change we very quickly saw how she loves being in nursery and have really loved how all the staff interact with her and us. We couldn't be happier with all the lovely
activities and yummy foods she has there and how the ethos of the nursery matches ours.

Our first child attended Kiddi Caru some 10 years ago. I am pleased to say that standards have remained at their highest. Our son absolutely loves attending and the app allows for us to feel involved in his day, with the constant updates. The staff are always willing to give us a personal update about
the day on pick up and our son has a genuine connection with his carers. The food choices are vast and means our son has a varied diet each day. Since attending, he has really progressed with his speech and dexterity. Would highly recommend for any child.

My daughter started this year with Kiddi Caru. We think she has settled in really well and the staff have been very welcoming to my daughter. She appears to have fun! However, it would be really great to see more photos/have more updates about what she gets up to. Some days we don't know what she's
been doing that day/don't see pictures of her at all or of her eating etc. Pictures seem to be taken because we get told they have been taken, but just not uploaded. More photos and more updates about what activities she has done would be amazing!

Our daughter has now been at Kiddi Caru Plympton for a month, she always leaves happy and we have lots of photos and reports of her enjoying herself updated on the app. Her key worker is amazing, going above and beyond for the babies in her care and our little one is always happy and excited to see
her on drop-offs. There is always a wide range of activities happening which our daughter thrives on as a baby who constantly needs to be busy. We couldn’t thank all of the staff enough, but particularly her key worker for helping make the transition to full-time nursery any smoother for all of us.

My daughter has been coming since 6 months old and is now 4. She is thriving at Kiddi Caru and wouldn’t want her anywhere else. She has made the best relationships with all her carers and comes home daily telling me everything about what she has been up to throughout the day especially singing lots
of new songs and showing off her yoga moves. The menu is a 10/10 and every day has cleaned her plate and even sometimes has seconds which never happens at home!

Every staff member will go above and beyond for the children in their care, management is top tier and this is reflected in all aspects of the nursery. The feeling of warmth, compassion and professionalism is felt when you walk through the door and can be seen whenever you enter a room. I couldn’t ask

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.929)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.929) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Plympton 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 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.929 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Plympton is calculated as follows: ( (381 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 408 Ratings = 4.929

  • 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 Plympton is based on 34 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, which has been reached with 34 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.
