My son has only been at Kiddi Caru for 4-months, but it feels like it’s been his nursery forever! His bond with the staff and comfort in the nursery environment is a credit to the team there. Having moved from another nursery, we were a little worried that he would have a bumpy start, but the team in
the cherry room have gone out of their way to make sure that he’s been welcomed and he now actively looks forward to seeing them and his new friends each day. The facilities and activities are brilliant (especially the garden) and he is clearly being stretched and challenged as his development is coming on leaps and bounds. Highly recommended!

My son loves going to Kiddy Caru Taunton and loves his key workers. I always feel well informed about what he’s been up to and always so impressed with the food the kitchen team produced.
I have recommended the nursery to lots of our friends.

Overall, we are very happy with Kiddi Caru. Our child has been going since he was about 10 months and transitions to each room have been smooth.
They support him in learning new skills and developing his curiosity about new topics.
My only criticism would be that sometimes the handovers can be a little
chaotic when a few people arrive at once.

I think professionalism is all I can say. The whole team shows involvement, dedication and love for children. It is a team of grade 10 and I recommend with all confidence. All the results appear after a very short time. I say this because my little girl of only 3 years old had a very big jump after
only 2 weeks of nursery. I am very happy with the choice made.

Both my children have attended Kiddi Caru, my youngest still goes. It’s a brilliant nursery, can’t fault it. I’m happy with everything they do/have done for my two.
Both my children have enjoyed going and loved the staff they have had in each room. If you do have any queries it’s sorted promptly.

The ladies in greengage room are so supportive of my daughter, she had a bumpy start and after some work, there was one lady who particularly just clicked with my little girl and made it such a wonderful experience for her. They’ve assisted with her potty training, she’s so much more confident personally
and academically.

Everyone at Kidi Curu are wonderful and have gone out of their way to make my daughters time there fun and memorable.
They have not had enough recognition in my eyes. They have worked tirelessly through a pandemic. They should be all very proud to be part of a fabulous team.
Special shout out to
the manager and all of them in Plum room for being caring, considerate, helpful, never patronising and always friendly.
Even with the masks, I can see everyone smiling and that’s just the sort of place I’m happy to take my daughter too. Thank you, team Taunton.

My daughter has been registered with Kiddi Caru since she was 8 months old and has always loved it. Despite a 6 month break throughout the pandemic and a bit of a bumpy start back, she is well into the swing of things again and loving being at nursery with her friends and her carers. Even transitioning
classes without settling in sessions, the way these things would normally work has been great and she has been welcomed and settled in so well. The support the nursery has offered over the last 8 months has also been amazing. Changing and adapting with the rules, sending guidance and reassuring parents that their children are safe appear to have been a top priority, and in particular, the flexibility we have seen with our previously agreed arrangements has been so appreciated. Thank you.

My daughter has been attending Kiddi Caru Taunton since March 2020. They have been incredibly adaptable throughout the COVID-19 to ensure that children, parents and staff are all kept safe. My daughter (aged 19 months) talks about her key workers and room staff whenever we mention nursery, which shows
me that the staff are caring and present enough to leave a lasting impression on my daughter. Talking of staff, I cannot fault anyone that I’ve encountered, they’re all friendly and caring. The facilities are great, the planned activities are engaging and the meals are varied. Overall this is a great nursery, which I highly recommend.

From our show round, my little boy showed us this was his new nursery, he didn’t want to go home. He formed a lovely relationship with the manager and Deputy manager having to say Hi every morning when he passes the office. His first day he walked in like he had been there forever. As a parent, having
your child wave goodbye with confidence made me a happy mummy that I could go to work and know he was being cared for and loved. Thank you to the amazing Taunton team for a smooth transition and for your support.

Our daughter started with Kiddi Caru in Taunton 6 months ago, just before she turned one and we have had an extremely positive experience. During the tour (outside normal hours due to Covid) we were very impressed with the manager's enthusiasm and the overall ethos of the nursery and willingness to
use cloth nappies and offer a vegan menu. The staff have been extremely supportive of all our needs and requirements, including dietary and potty training. The food is amazing. Staff in her room and her key worker in particular are all fantastic, you feel like they really get to know the child as an individual and are as enthusiastic about her development as we are. At 17 months, she has now completed potty training, and staff there have been a huge part of making this possible so deserve a huge thank you for that. She now attends three days a week and is always excited to go, grabbing her bag and waiting by the door while we get ready.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.720)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.720) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Taunton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.720 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Taunton is calculated as follows: ( (266 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 4.72

  • 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 Taunton is based on 27 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 129 number of registered child places is 25.8, which has been reached with 27 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.
