Overall I think the nursery is excellent and would highly recommend. The head office did, however, lose an element of parental trust when they raised the fees twice in one year. Whatever reason they deemed appropriate, it doesn't negate the fact that working parents generally get one pay rise each year
which is far less than the increase in fees applied. There was little communication in advance of these increases which provides little time for families to budget. Please have a greater understanding that nursery fees are a great strain for many families and whilst this nursery is not a charity, it shouldn't just be beholden to shareholders in regards to fees.

Reply from Rosie Cartwright at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill

I’m so delighted with the choice we made in Kiddi Caru. The care, development and fun filled days my daughter receives there are truly brilliant. I am looking to move house but am determined not to move far as I really wouldn’t want to move her anywhere else!
I was terrified of the transition back
to work post maternity leave but I was really supported through this by the staff and I now drop my daughter off everyday, safe in the knowledge she is going to have a fantastic day.

Both our children have had a fantastic experience here. The child development is individually fostered and staff are always highly engaged. Both children have been very happy and we are kept well informed with their progress. My daughter actually cries when we pick her up because she doesn’t want leave.
Aside to the knock to my own parenting confidence, I take this as a great sign for the nursery.

My son has now moved to the pre school room - Swans. He has been at Kiddi Caru for over 2 years, starting in Ducklings.
He is enjoying Swans so much, he looks forward to going every day and says goodbye to me with a smile. The staff are dedicated to him and give me detailed handovers about his day
on pick up. Can't fault the nursery and would 100% recommend to a friend.

Amazing staff, they have gone (and keep going) the extra mile towards assisting my child ‘s learning needs, assisted us to submit a SEND report, and make sure he is completely integrated despite his constraints.


I can only thank Kiddi Karu for their hard work.

Our daughter has been attending Kiddi Caru in Redhill since she was 18 months old (has just turned 3). We have been extremely happy with the nursery, and our daughter has thrived since being there. She has learnt so much, despite only attending for 2 days a week. I would highly recommend Kiddi Caru.

The team in our current room are very proactive in their care and approach. Our daughter loves attending and is always greeted by a happy team - there is lots of fun on a daily basis and any necessary discipline is with extreme care and kindness. Couldn't be happier with the progress and stimulation.

My son is currently in Cygnets room and I cannot rate the staff in this room highly enough. The room feels well structured and run by the team leader and the supporting staff. I recently had a new baby and the staff in Cygnets were very helpful in helping prepare my son for the new arrival before and
super in supporting him once the baby arrived by talking about his role in the family and getting him excited.


I feel all the staff in Cygnets make it their business to create positive bonds with all children regardless of key worker allocation. The tight-knit feel from this room is positive and reassuring. All staff go over and above day job and truly support all the children and their families in their development.


The nursery, in general, is extremely well managed and run. All the senior managers and office staff are helpful and approachable. High standards are expected and it shows!

I am really impressed with Kiddi Caru. My daughter has now been here for a few weeks and she is well and truly settled in and obviously enjoys her day at nursery.
The settling in was great and all the staff are lovely and welcoming not just her key worker who is fabulous. There is a good selection
of activities inside and out and it's a lovely environment. The food is also lovely and very much enjoyed. Overall I am very pleased.

We send our two children to Kiddi Caru in Redhill, the elder being in Swans having attended throughout from aged 11 months and the younger having recently started in Ducklings. We have always felt that it is in a safe and happy environment in which they are very well looked after. As well as this general
high level of comfort we have in leaving them there for the day. The thing which impresses us the most is the level of active interest all staff take in the children's development. The nursery does far more than just look after the children, with such a broad range of activities and regular updates for the parents on everything from friendships through to important development milestones.
We would highly recommend this nursery.

A Home away from Home that ticks all the boxes??
A very spacious modern beautiful building, lots of activities for the kids.
The staff are amazing. They are always willing to support and let parents know how the day went.
At Kiddi Caru, my child gets lots of love and support from our lovely Carlette
who is truly professional, always active and full of smiles. She has helped my child settled in wonderfully. All the staff are lovely and the daily teamwork is super excellent.
This nursery has got a very wonderful Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator who is well experienced.
Kiddi Caru nursery environment is friendly, beautiful, homely, very clean and colourful. They also maintain an excellent security system to ensure all the kids are safe. My child has progressed within a short while.
The nursery has a family feel, it is a fantastically run nursery, very efficient with helpful staff. I feel completely at ease when I drop my daughter off. She is so well looked after and loved.

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 5 months old, obviously, we had a huge number of concerns about leaving her for the first time but the staff were fabulous and gave us the support we needed in order to feel comfortable that our baby was in safe hands. Our daughter is now 3yrs and
4 mths old, she has moved through all of the rooms and with the exception of a few teething problems (mainly friends moving up to another room before she was able to) we have nothing but praise for all of the staff. This is an excellent nursery and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for childcare.

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill is an excellent nursery. My daughter looks forward to going and is always excited to share what she’s learnt during the day.


I really like the way the carers take time at the end of the day to inform parents about their kids and what activities they have been up to

during the day. Excellent staff team!

We have been with Kiddi Caru since just after it opened in autumn 2015. I have nothing but good things to say about this nursery. Both of my children have been incredibly happy there. The staff in all the rooms my children have been in have been brilliant and they have formed such great bonds with their
carers. There is an excellent balance between free play and more structured learning. The children participate in a wide range of activities and the facilities are great. The gardens aren't big but have so many interesting and fun things to do that the children love being outside. The sensory room is also a fantastic resource, especially for younger children. This really is a wonderful nursery. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.947)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.947) 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 4.4 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 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 4.397 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill is calculated as follows: ( (102 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.397

  • 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 4.55 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill is based on 11 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. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.55

  • 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.
