Kiddi Caru Plymouth is like our second family, they love, care and treat all the children like their own. They are always doing things with the children. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending Kiddi Caru. Nothing is ever too much trouble for any of the staff.

We love Kiddi Caru Plympton. The teaching and care staff are fantastic as are the management and admin team. My daughter enjoys nursery and I have full peace of mind knowing she is happy and safe. We are always kept updated with news and events and given updates on activities/meals/toileting every day

My husband and I could not be happier with Kiddi Caru. Our son absolutely loves it, and he is simply thriving. Their care, patience and dedication is clear to see every day, and we are so grateful for their hard work, it really does show. We can't recommend Kiddi Caru highly enough for any parents looking
for nursery care for their child.

My daughter absolutely loves Kiddi Caru, she was so shy before she joined and now she is fully engaged and ready to lean. The nursery also helped me with changing her hours when I had a very unexpected change to my working hours and did everything they could to accommodate myself and my daughter. The
staff are so friendly and it really feels like one big family.

My two sons have both attended Kiddi Caru Plympton over the years, I have been using the nursery since 2017 with my first son and still using the nursery now with my second. My youngest will be going to primary school come September and I really do feel sad to be leaving. My son has a strong relationship
with his key carer for which I am so grateful for when he needs a reassuring cuddle! Kiddi Caru has a super friendly feel, the staff are so approachable, smiley and above all so caring, they make me feel comfortable that my child will be safe in their care. The atmosphere at drop off and collection is always a happy one. They regularly assess the children's developmental progress and send it to the parent. Mealtimes always sound delicious with 3 meals a day provided. Communication, support and care is always excellent. I highly recommend Kiddi Caru.

My child has thrived at Kiddi Caru Plympton. She has a huge fondness for the staff and their caring nature is obvious. Over her time there she has been supported in learning to talk, potty training, and her exploration of the world. I can't fault their input in this. Their curriculum and resources are
fantastic. My only criticism is the difficulty they have in retaining a full permanent staff, but appreciate that this is an issue with the sector as a whole. The agency staff they hire are always nice. The garden facilities and the sensory room were two big factors in our decision to choose the nursery. My child regularly gets to spend time outside and often comes home talking of the fun she had in the garden. The food is amazing and all cooked on site. This means that they are completely capable of catering for my child's intolerance. She loves their food and will often eat food at nursery which she tells me she dislikes if I make it!

Our son has settled in so well at Kiddi Caru Plympton. The staff members in his room have been amazing with helping both him and myself settle in with the unknown of starting nursery. I can’t thank them enough for the care and attention they have given him. He has been really poorly lately and they
have been more than happy to keep an extra eye on him. He loves the activities they do every day and really seems to be enjoying himself; the messier the better!

We think Kiddi Caru is absolutely excellent! Our children love attending - always going in excited and have fantastic relationships with the staff. The facilities are excellent and the garden is great! The communication from the nursery in general as well as daily updates is fantastic. One of our children
has allergies and the care taken is great and care plans are updated every 3 months and on time! We could not be happier - but most importantly, our children are so happy!

Our daughters both attended Kiddi Caru Plympton 3 days a week since they were 9 months old, until they went to school. They loved their time at the nursery and grew socially as well as being well prepared for school when the time came. The staff were always excellent - the communication with us (the
parents), and their flexibility in terms of food for the children was second to none. Although they are on the pricier end for nursery childcare in my area, I love the fact that I never had to worry about providing anything but the children and a change of clothes - no messing about with packed lunches and snacks in the morning. Well worth the extra few pounds.
Our girls were sad to leave, and still talk fondly of their time spent at Kiddi Caru. I honestly can't recommend the nursery highly enough - and have in fact recommended it to friends over the years who subsequently have also sent their children there.

Having been at Kiddi Caru Plympton for the past 2 years, our daughter has recently left to start school. We could not have picked a better nursery for her. All of the staff are so welcoming and really put you at ease. Our daughter made strong relationships with her key worker and others in her room.
She made lovely friendships with the other children. We honestly were so sad to leave but thanks to the support of the staff at Kiddi Caru, our once very shy and timid little girl has grown massively in confidence and has settled into 'big school' amazingly. We would 100% recommend Kiddi Caru.

My daughter has been going to Kiddi Caru since she was 11 months old. She has learnt and grown so much, that I am so thankful to everyone who works there. Even the ladies that aren't in my daughter's room know her name. Everyone is really friendly and kind. They can't do enough for my daughter or for

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.
