We have been really pleased with how our son has settled into his first year of nursery. We have seen him grow from a partially mobile baby to a confident, independent and funny toddler. The staff in the Plum room (and anyone else who has come to help out) are always engaging with the children and the
activities they do with them all every day are varied.


We love hearing about his day from the diary and the additional feedback from the staff. We are sad to be moving away from Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Taunton this year but we are very grateful for his great start to nursery life.

Moved my daughter to Kiddi Caru from a previous nursery which unfortunately wasn't proving to be stimulating. Best move I made! The staff in Damson/Strawberry have brought my daughter on amazingly well. Thanks to all their hard work she is progressing and learning at a fantastic rate and they have also
really brought her out of her shell from being a shy nervous little thing to now becoming very sociable to not only everyone at nursery but to new people, we meet out and about. This is a huge step and I cannot rate the staff and facilities enough!

I have two children attending the nursery and I couldn't be happier with the care that is provided by Kiddi Caru. The staff really care about the children and know all their personal preferences. They always try to accommodate any needs you might have and it really is a pleasure going in and seeing
all the smiley faces. Both my children get excited about the prospect of going to nursery and always have a smile on their faces when I drop them off and pick them up. You can't ask for much more than that.

I attended a parents evening to discuss the development of my daughter who is currently in the Strawberry Pre-school Room.
Due to my work, it's not something I get to do that often so it was really nice that I got to attend.
My wife and I could not be any happier with the development and progress
she is showing.
She is such a lovely caring little girl and I believe a big part of that is thanks to the amazing staff that look after her and the other children of course.
They really do an amazing job and probably deserve to be told that more often than they are by us parents.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do!

We have been very happy with the care provided for our son in his time at nursery. We have always been confident to leave him with the staff, who are caring and take the time to not only get to know the children but also us as parents. The office staff have always been helpful and quick to resolve any
problems. Thank you to all staff involved in our son's care - we will miss you all!

I have had a child at Kiddi Caru for the last 5 years. The level of care for my children has been second to none. The staff and management are clearly committed to the development and well being of each and every child.


My children gained confidence and useful skills and my son was well prepared

for school when he started.

Staff are always pleasant, friendly and welcoming. Time is always taken in the mornings to ensure my child is happy and settled. The staff listen to what he's been up to at home. The staff in his room have taken lots of time trying to help out with potty training and will get on board with our ideas
and offer some too. He enjoys his time at nursery and I can never get him to come home at the end of the day.

My child attends Kiddi Caru for 4 years. Through these years we have felt supported by the staff. She has become confident, gained social skills, independence. Great start in life and leading on to school. Helped her with wanting to learn new things and gain a better understanding of the world around
her. Staff know her well enough to be able to support her in the best way they can.

I have been very pleased with Kiddi Caru. My daughter enjoys going to the nursery. I feel I could mention an issue if I needed to. My daughter always enjoys lots of different activities each day. The food is cooked on site and is varied and healthy. I always feel happy to leave my daughter and know
I can phone if I want to. I feel she is safe. We both like the staff in her room.

Good nursery. My daughter always seems happy. Lots of planned activities and attentive staff.
The only area for improvement would be communication when children move to the next year.

My children (aged 3 and 15 months) have both been at Kiddi Caru since 9 months old and I can't recommend them highly enough. It is a caring, stimulating and encouraging environment with endless activities and fun. The staff are fab and the home cooked meals are a winner. My children absolutely love
going here and I believe thriving both developmentally and socially from their experiences here. Thumbs up Kiddi Caru, Taunton.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.710)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.710) 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.710 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Taunton is calculated as follows: ( (254 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 324 Ratings = 4.71

  • 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 26 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 26 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.
