Our child has been at the nursery for 3 years and we feel the overall management is excellent, they are open to constructive feedback and work and support us to find solutions to issues. Unfortunately, the leadership of Pre-school has not been reflective of our previous experience, this has been worsened
by various staff changes. Overall we have been pleased with the nursery and our daughter has benefited from the facilities and certain fantastic members of staff.

My son has only been at this nursery for 3 weeks but already he has settled in well with his key carer. He has lots of opportunities to do activities that he doesn't in the home environment. He enjoys his days and I have already noticed small changes in his development. I would definitely recommend
this nursery to others. The staff are always friendly and the management deal with any queries that I have quickly making it easier for me to leave my son knowing he is in good hands.

Kiddicaru has catered for my son's needs extremely well. He always talks enthusiastically about the nursery his friends and his nursery workers. The nursery as a whole always appears very attentive to the needs of their children and any questions I may have. It's lovely to know my son has a nice relationship
with his nursery workers. Some of the staff, in particular, have been mentioned and it is clear that they have a nice relationship with him. I do feel that my son will leave Kiddicaru well prepared for school and with fond memories of his time here. A big thank you. A professional organisation indeed.

The nursery is a supportive environment which has helped our child through times where they suffered anxiety. Initially we were concerned about the quick changing of key carers but this was resolved and we are happy with the service.

Very happy with staff and how they communicate with both parents and children. Facilities are very good, plenty for children to do. Like how they interact with the children on a one to one group level. Think the information provided at the end of the day is very good. Never feel like I can't ask a question.

My daughter joined Kiddicaru a year ago and she was once anxious and shy. She is now very confident, happy, outgoing, confident in relationships and loves learning. The girls at Kiddicaru are fantastic, work incredibly hard to form and maintain valuable relationships and clearly have excellent knowledge
on learning and development. I trust them implicitly with my daughter and am constantly impressed with their hard work, effort and resulting change in her. The gold standard of day nurseries.

Kiddicaru Plympton deserves its outstanding grade. The level of confident care from the staff is above and beyond. There is always a welcoming face. Nothing is too much bother and any problems we've had have been dealt with effectively and always strengthen our parent partnership. Myself, partner and
daughter could not be happier.

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery is a fantastic nursery my son loved every minute of his time there. He spent two years at the nursery and always wanted to stay. The staff were always friendly and welcoming and happy to help and discuss any questions or concerns you may have had. I am on maternity leave now so
when I go back to work I will probably send my next child there. I would also recommend this nursery to other mothers.

The best thing I ever did was visit and use this nursery. Very caring and kind. The staff listen and are genuinely thoughtful and talk to you as a parent/carer.
The price certainly reflects the activities, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place and I would use it again tomorrow. A lot of organising
and thought goes into running this place, it has benefitted my son hugely, one day a week has made a massive difference.

The room is opened out into the garden which encourages the children and allows them to play outside if they choose. The staff are always happy, caring and nice natured throughout the whole nursery. My son enjoys his time there and is always happy after his days in nursery.

Kiddi Caru - Plympton is an outstanding day nursery. I could not have asked for better! Our two boys have attended Kiddi Caru since 2012. Staff are continually amazing and dedicated to the welfare and education of every child. It has a welcoming and warm environment where our boy's look forward to going.
I would highly recommend it to anyone. Our boys have developed greatly due to the input of the nursery.

From the moment we stepped through the door, we knew that this was the nursery for our little boy. The team are so welcoming and loving to all of the children in their care (as well as to the families). The staff are so professional but personal too. Every member of staff seems to have built a relationship
with our son.
With reference to safeguarding policy goes hand-in-hand with practice. Great care and thought had gone into policy creation, especially with regard to medical needs and the handling of children with food allergies. We cannot recommend this childcare provider highly enough. They are amazing!

I couldn't be happier with the level of care my daughter has received at Kiddi Caru Plympton.


They really go the extra mile and have brought my daughter on brilliantly with confidence and her learning.


I thoroughly recommend every aspect of the nursery, you won't find a better one in the area.

Both of my children have attended Kiddi Caru. The standard of the nursery and staff is exceptional. Having looked at other nurseries before making my decision I can honestly say if it wasn't for Kiddi Caru, I wouldn't have gone back to work!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.748)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.748) 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 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 4.948 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Plympton is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.948

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Plympton is based on 16 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. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.8

  • 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.
