Outstanding development skills which Kiddi Caru has given my child, who loves it there so much, her clothes always come home covered in paint, flour, etc. - but easily washes out. Staff always well knowledgeable and friendly.

A fantastic nursery, I’m really glad we send our son here and our second son will certainly be joining him. The staff are friendly, the nursery is clean and he eats 3 full healthy meals per day and seems to really enjoy himself whilst learning and developing his social skills. I thoroughly recommend
Kiddi Caru Taunton.

Kiddi Caru has been an important environment for both of our children, from the baby room right up through to preschool. They continue to offer a welcoming and fulfilling environment and regularly update individualised learning goals.
Our children have found it easy to bond with the carers and we feel
trusting in the team. Where there are any areas of anxiety we have felt reassured by their advice and actions.
The food prepared for the children is fresh, varied and nutritious and they give them regular time outside to play and explore.
We would recommend Kiddi Caru to our friends and family and thank them for their continued dedication to our children’s learning and development.

Our daughter has been attending Kiddi Caru for about two and a half years now. She absolutely loves it there, she runs in with a massive smile every morning and we are very happy with the care she receives. The staff in Damson room are brilliant; they are always very welcoming when we arrive to drop
off or collect and have built a great relationship with our daughter. They always find time for a quick chat about our daughter's day (what she's eaten, what activities she's done etc) and we really appreciate this. Our daughter clearly enjoys the activities and resources at the nursery; her letters and sounds and number recognition are constantly improving and she loves the singing, signing and music classes and all the outside time they get. The food provided at the nursery is also to a very high standard and we know our daughter is eating freshly made and healthy meals. Thank you Kiddi Caru and a particular big thank you to staff in Damson room!

The care my daughter receives is excellent. The nursery room staff are fantastic and support her learning, development and wellbeing brilliantly. She loves coming to nursery. Facilities are also very good.
The downside is there is a cap on the number of free hours entitlement you can claim once your
child is 3, despite having paid a higher tariff up until this point. This also doesn’t apply to all customers. The admin of the finances has always been very hit and miss. Parents have to check every detail to pick up mistakes made by the nursery.

Reply from Rosie Cartwright, Marketing Assistant at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Taunton

Thank you for recognising how essential well-qualified, enthusiastic staff are required to delivering outstanding childcare to progress your little one’s continuous learning. We will pass your kind words on to our team at Taunton.
We do apologise for the incorrect invoice but hopefully, that has been rectified now. Please make the management team aware if there are any issues in the future.

I am so glad I chose to send my daughter to Kiddi Caru. Each morning she goes she is eager to get inside which shows me how much she loves it there. Great range of activities and experiences especially the ducklings last week - they definitely went down well! Staff are very friendly and approachable.
The communication between nursery and parent is really good especially the monthly email about what each room at the nursery has been doing. Really impressed.

My youngest son is currently in the preschool rooms and having used this nursery for the past 6 years I can do nothing but give it praise.
All the staff who have had input into both of my son's lives have been caring, compassionate, understanding and very patient.
Thank you!

We have been using Kiddi Caru Taunton for the last 5 years. Firstly for my daughter, now my son and we will be using them again for our new baby. The care that the children receive is very good regardless of which age group they are in.

I am extremely happy with Kiddi Caru Taunton and all the staff. Both my sons attend this nursery and their key carers are amazing. Both my boys have come on in leaps and bounds with their development and I am extremely happy with how settled they are. I couldn't ask for better staff to look after my
children.

The staff is very friendly and kind. I would like that after each day they give the parents a summary of the activities to take home. Each day they indicate the amount of food, diaper changes and sleep time. I recommend this nursery.

We have been delighted with every aspect of our daughter's nursery care. The staff, facilities and food are excellent and our 20-month-old daughter loves every day so goes. We use going to nursery and seeing her friends as a motivator to get her up in the morning. The development we’ve seen in her has
been excellent and her communication and socialisation skills are brilliant.

A lovely nursery with staff that genuinely care for the children. My daughter loves going everyday and I wouldn’t send her anywhere else. They are brilliant at relaying information to me as a parent. My daughter is going to be terribly upset when she leaves to go to primary school this September.

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.
