The very friendly and caring staff means that my son is not just happy to go to nursery in the mornings but excited! I love how they use the outside space with the children. The use of the app is good to let parents know what happens every day.

My little girl loves coming to Kiddi Caru and has made some lovely friends. They always do some lovely activities, and we will be really sad to leave in September as she has been with them since 9-months-old. All the carers are lovely and always keep us informed.

My child has been at Kiddi Caru since July 2020 moving from baby room to 1 - 2's. I have found the staff across the rooms to be very caring and thoughtful to individual child's needs. My child has built relationships with his key worker and the other team which has helped with his confidence and learning.
The change to using the parent app has been helpful in getting updates during the day.

My son loves attending nursery and has a good bond with all of his carers. He’s settled in quickly and established a very good routine which I was afraid wouldn’t happen. In a short space of time, he has come on leaps and bounds and I feel confident in knowing he is well looked after. He has enjoyed
all the food offered to him so far and am glad he is eating a varied diet. My only (and it is very minor) complaint would be, as a first-time mum with high levels of anxiety, is that I wish there was more communication on the parent app throughout the day. Although I do understand that the staff are extremely busy.

My little girl has embraced nursery with thanks to her wonderful carers, and I've really enjoyed peering through the window at pick up seeing her interact with others and play. We are both super pleased with the care and attention my little one receives at Kiddi Caru.

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Plympton has always been very forthcoming in sharing news and information, which we’ve always appreciated, especially since the beginning of the pandemic. The staff are so kind and friendly, and I am certain that is why our child is so happy and comfortable at this nursery. They
definitely contribute to the sense of security and friendship that our child is always talking about. A major thing we truly appreciate is how attentive they are if you have concerns. They are as transparent as they can be and make it clear that they are there to support in whatever way they can. Also, they are very supportive if things come up or changes need to be made. I could not imagine changing nurseries at all. Whilst we love this nursery, sometimes things get missed if only one parent interacts with the nursery regularly. So my only critique would be to send out more communication to both parents so everyone is in the loop. Another thing would be to help the kids be aware of their presentation.

My child has been attending Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Plympton for about 5-months, so during these difficult times, we have experienced some challenges around winter/Covid, and we had excellent responses from management to administrative support to key workers. The facility is amazing, and my child receives
excellent care. I highly recommend Kiddi Caru.

My little one loves going to Kiddi Caru she gets very excited when you mention it. We are so impressed with all the activities they do to help with their individual learning needs. The staff really understand my little one inside out and that was very clear during our parents evening. They always offer
a lovely variety of food. The only thing I would change is an online system to see updates hence why I put good instead of excellent for resources.

I did a tour of the nursery back in August 2019 when my child was only 3 months old and she was alert and couldn't stop looking around. All the staff where friendly and all the children I saw were engaged and happy, so I was excited when my child eventually started at 9 months old. Ever since, my child
has always gone in happy. My child is nearly 2 years old and even gives an excited 'yay' when we arrive and she sees her key workers at the door.
Her development has gone from strength to strength and the key workers really take on board what you want as a parent.
Overall I would recommend to anyone.

Kiddi Caru in Plympton has provided an amazing experience for my son since he was a baby. He's now in his final month before we relocate and I have to say that any new nursery will have a lot to live up to! The fact that on non-nursery days my son says "I want to go to nursery" shows what an enjoyable
time he has there. Having recently moved up to the pre-school room, I can tell his experience so far is definitely helping him to become 'school-ready'. This is in terms of both what he is learning and also the enthusiasm he has for it e.g. he was so proud of his certificate for his French! Also, the carers have built great relationships with my son and I am assured that he is in a caring, nurturing environment; this is especially true for the careful management of his dairy allergy.
I would highly recommend this nursery to any parents looking to give their child a truly enriching and enjoyable experience, surrounded by professional and caring staff. Thank you all!

My son started at Kiddi Caru a couple of weeks ago. This is my second child going to nursery but because of the current situation, I was more anxious about it this time around! As most babies have experienced over this year my baby hasn't spent much time around any of our friends and family and is used
to being with us 24/7 so I was really concerned about how he would settle in and how he would be around other children his age.
All of the staff have been absolutely brilliant with both him and us as parents. We are kept up to date with what he has been up to each day and it is so lovely to see him interacting with babies his own age, he comes home each evening that he has been at nursery ready for a good sleep! In the past couple of weeks he has really developed as well which I know has been helped by the stimulation at nursery. I feel confident that my child is safe and very well looked after, he has definitely taken a shine to the girls that look after him! Can't recommend enough.

Like most parents, I was worried about allowing my son to go to nursery but from day one, all my worries were laid to rest. The staff have been amazing and my lad has come on leaps and bounds, talking better and eating with a knife and fork. The staff are always happy to help or give advice when asked.
Nothing but great things to say - the list is endless.

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.
