Our daughter absolutely loves going to Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill, she spends her days having so much fun with her friends and the staff. The team of staff who look after her are lovely, they really care about her and keep her safe and happy. It is a peace of mind to know that she not only has lots
of fun but she is developed and cared for so well.

My daughter has been at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill since November 2018 and we have consistently been impressed with the high standards of care. As an ex preemie, the nursery has supported us and I genuinely mean the whole family, through her early developmental delays, dealing with external agencies
and the eventual diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Whenever my daughter is at the nursery, I am completely confident that not only will she receive excellent care but have great fun through play and learning. Her care plans and ISP will be followed brilliantly and every member of staff is fully capable to support this. In particular, I wanted to mention the support we had from the Special Educational Needs Coordinator and my daughter's key worker, who were instrumental in helping us with the long and complicated process of completing the Educational Health Care Plan application. Their observations and hard work in completing this were key and we could not have done it without them.

My daughter loves going to nursery at Kiddi Caru. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Lovely to see how my daughter is developing with the help of the excellent staff. The app is perfect for keeping abreast of eating, sleeping etc, and we especially love the observations.

Our son has been at this nursery for nearly 7 months and honestly, the level of care shown by the nursery to him has completely exceeded our expectations. He absolutely loves it, he settled in instantly and seems to have a really strong bond with the staff in his class. I love that you get updates through
the app on a regular basis and they keep a close eye on any changes in his development and share little details of things he’s learnt. Overall I honestly couldn’t speak more highly of this nursery we are so so happy we chose to send him there.

It feels like a second home, a really lovely place where my son has been given loads of love and attention. We have been going to this nursery full-time for the last two years and have been very happy with all the care and support provided. My son has learnt a lot and there is a lot of focus on learning
and encouraging children to develop new skills and learn to be more independent which is fantastic practice before going to school. They always have a nice healthy menu, spend a lot of time in the garden and learn a lot! I am just very happy we’ve found this nursery!

Great nursery and fantastic staff. Nothing is ever too much trouble. This is not simple child care, they nurture and develop the children to a very high standard so when they leave for school they are at or above the required standard. If you get the early years right it makes the next stages much easier
- and this nursery has got the balance perfect.

An amazing nursery, thank you to all the staff, three members in particular. You have made my daughter's time at nursery really enjoyable and helped her grow as a person. I can't recommend this nursey enough to anybody in the local area, looking for somewhere for their child. I am so grateful that my
daughter could spend 3-years plus with you all.

My daughter is very happy and has made many friends at Kiddi Caru. She loves the variety of activities provided; from crafts, role play and reading to French, yoga, dance and sing and sign. She has attended 5 days a week since I returned to work form maternity leave, progressing through a fun filled
learning journey, where she reached milestones and has learnt how to make good choices, building confidence through Ducklings, Waterlillies, Cygnets, and now Swans. Transitions from room to room are seamless, and I always feel that she is safe and secure. Potty training was completed quickly, with her friends, just after COVID19 lockdown. As a parent I feel supported and enjoy learning tips and tricks from the staff. I am grateful for the wonderful menu and diet adjustments that have been made for her eczema, as well as their acceptance to apply eczema skin creams. I feel it has been a fantastic choice to select this nursery and highly recommend the excellent team here.

Kiddi Caru Redhill is an outstanding nursery, providing brilliant care on virtually a one to one basis. My grandson, who lives with me, has come on extremely well having moved from 1-1 childcare to a nursery environment. He is actively positively thriving here and being extended in his learning where
the staff see his abilities to do so. He receives the very best of care as the staff care so much about the children they look after, there is not a doubt in my mind that this is the very best setting for him to be educated and cared for within such an amazing place. The app they use is so useful to monitor his daily care along with achievements made and videos to keep and discuss at home. I would recommend this nursery to anyone reluctant to leave their child, outgoing or anxious children or anyone seeking the best educational start and the highest standards of care for their child.

At Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill, all the staff know the children's names no matter what class they are in. It is lovely that siblings get to see each other during the day. The in and outflow of the older classrooms is great, and the children always tell me how much fun they've had playing, reading
and having fun with their friends. It's a positive environment and really encourages children to explore and learn.

I cannot praise Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill enough especially with the preschool team. My child has been with the nursery since 1 yo. The management team has always been understanding and attentive. The carers team are knowledgeable and experienced in caring for young children and paying extra attention
on educational needs especially making sure that extra support is provided in meeting milestones.

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill was recommended to us when looking for a nursery for our little boy. Since our first visit to look around we have been extremely impressed by the exceptional level of care and education provided - our little boy is thriving with the wide range of activities offered. He
settled into nursery very quickly and is so happy when he is dropped off in the morning. We love the detailed handovers the staff provide at the end of the day, the level of information makes me feel like he is the only child they are caring for even though this is not the case!

Both of our kids attended this nursery and were both happy there throughout the last 5 years. The staff were brilliant especially when my son was suffering with food intolerances they were very accommodating at adapting the menu for him as needed as well as checking certain things were ok for him to
have. It is a safe and lovely environment to leave your children in and I would highly recommend this nursery. The staff are excellent and our kids loved it there.

Kiddi Caru came well recommended in our search of nurseries. Now that our son has been attending for a few months I can attest that Kiddi Caru was a fantastic choice, they have exceeded all exceptions with the most important milestone that our son is very happy there. The management team made the introduction
very easy, communication has been great always keeping us well advised of any issues. As busy parents the implementation of the parent app allowing us to get up to date daily feedback on our son's activities is fantastic.
The individual care our son has had from the staff within Ducklings has been brilliant, allowing him the time and space to settle in, we have seen our son turn from shy and reserved at attending to excited and elated, this is down to patience and effort from the Ducklings team.
Overall, we have had a great experience at Kiddi Caru and would highly recommend anyone to consider this nursery due to the staff.

From the moment I walked through the door with my first child three years ago, to my experiences now with my second child joining, I am constantly blown away by the entire team at Kiddi Caru. Every single staff member knows every child irrespective of whether they care for them directly and so it feels
so warm and friendly all of the time. The menu is diverse and nutritious and the variety of activities they do with the children is so broad, and the way the nursery is managed is with ease, flexibility, and always a smile. But it really is the people that make this place and it’s a pleasure to leave my children in their care.

Our youngest daughter has been at Kiddi Caru since just before she turned 2 and I can honestly say this is one of the best nurseries I have experienced. The team are so incredibly kind and caring and genuinely care about every child they look after. The facilities are fantastic and there are always
loads of great activities for the children to do. Our pre-schooler has come home doing sums and teaching me yoga on more than one occasion! This really is a loving, caring environment for every child.

I would give 10 stars if I could. My son has been at Kiddi Karu for 18 months first in Ducklings and now Waterlillies. The staff and management across both rooms are amazing, they care for each child as an individual which is something I have not experienced in previous nurseries (I have 2 older children
who attended different settings).


Over the last 12 months, the team noticed that my son wasn’t progressing in the way he had over the 6 months before that. The support my son has received has been over and above any expectations I had, and they have worked with me and my family to get to bottom of it. Joining meetings with medical professionals, providing additional 1-1 support to my son and being an amazing sounding board for me when I was coming up against problems accessing the health services.


I would recommend this nursery to anyone, it’s like a family and despite all my son’s problems the smile on his face each day when he arrives says it all!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.235)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.235) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 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 4.485 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill is calculated as follows: ( (140 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.485

  • 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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill is based on 15 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. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.75

  • 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.
