Overall we are extremely happy with the care and coordination of our child's care at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill. He has now been there for over a year and the level of attention to detail and care and compassion for our child and others by the nursery team is excellent.
The only element that we
found a little frustrating was the rigidity of the administration and particularly invoice structure. The onsite team have very little flexibility it seems to be able to make changes if an invoice is incorrect until the following month - even if it is something incorrect from their side. It seems to be of a centralised Head Office query than a specific site query. Not every parent is in the position to pay out more money than expected and wait 4 weeks for the adjustment.
It's a very small thing as we said and doesn't dampen our view of the outstanding service otherwise.

I cannot praise this nursery enough. Every single staff member I have come across is professional, friendly and always remembers my son's name (even the kitchen staff). I get regular updates and they have put together such a lovely development folder with photos of my son in there which is nice to look
back at as he started at 10 months old and has come a long way since then. My son loves his key worker and has bonded so well with the staff. I feel very reassured leaving my son here.

What stands out the most is the kindness, enthusiasm and commitment of the staff.
They always make our children feel at ease, happy and at home and that's all we can ask for. The learning and development we've seen is the icing on the cake. We're always thrilled with how our children are doing.

Our son has thrived at Kiddi Caru and with our daughter about to start in September, we couldn't be more excited to watch them both develop over the coming months. The staff at Kiddi Caru are amazing, as I'm sure is the case with most parents, we want the best of the best for our children and feel very
lucky to have found you! Huge thanks to all.

Our daughter loves coming into the nursery and playing with the carers and her friends.
She is developing so much thanks to the support of the carers and all the activities that they do during the week. With the good weather, they always spend plenty of time in the gardens. Would definitely recommend
to come and check it out for your kids!

My son has now been attending Kiddi Caru for over a year and I cannot fault the nursery. The staff, facilities and care he has received has been fantastic! My Son is fairly shy and can be nervous in unfamiliar surroundings and all the staff have made a conscious effort to ensure he settles and feels
comfortable. He has developed so much in his time at Kiddi Caru and now loves going.

Very friendly team and my children love going to Kiddi Caru, there are a lot of interesting activities for them and they learn new things each day. Parents evenings are good with lots of information provided on children’s progress in learning key skills via easy to read charts. If my child needs some
help in a learning activity Kiddi Caru will let us know so we can help them learn specific items.
Always friendly and cheerful in the mornings at drop off and also pick up
Thumbs up all round!

My twins have been at this nursery for over 2 years now progressing through all the rooms. All the staff are brilliant and they really go the extra mile with learning and development. I have recommended the nursery before to other parents and I would not hesitate to again.

We are very pleased with Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill. All the staff are excellent and very warm and welcoming, my son always enjoys going there. When my son joined he was so shy and was not much speaking, he is now very confident in speaking and easily bonds with all other peers and teachers, very
happy with the progress he made. Staff are very well organised and take care of the children very well.

My daughter has been at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill for over 2 years, basically since it opened. I will be sending my second daughter there as well as soon as she is old enough. In short, Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill is excellent. I've never had anything at all to complain about. The staff are
all fantastic both in the kids' rooms, but also in the school office. The facilities seem top notch, and I feel very confident that my daughter is very well cared for. She loves it there. Perhaps the only slight downside is that there is not a huge amount of outside space - no grassy gardens/playing fields. That said, the kids are outside all year round in the space they do have, and it is absolutely filled with things to play on and experiment with. At this age, I'm not even sure the children need any bigger space to run about outside, and the fact that it's all astroturf means that it is less muddy, and they can go out in all weathers which if anything is a plus. I'd have no hesitation to recommend Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Redhill.

My daughter has loved every minute of her time at Kiddi Caru and looks forward to going to nursery. She has grown into a confident and independent child who has been encouraged to learn and enjoy herself at the same time. The care and attention from staff is brilliant and they clearly take time to know
each child. The nursery is a well-equipped fun environment which provides a strong backdrop for learning. We have absolutely loved Kiddi Caru and cannot recommend it enough.

The nursery has a very cohesive and collaborative workforce. They are caring, kind, inclusive (my son has allergies but they make an effort to make an alternative for him) and nurturing. Our son’s development is remarkable, he is very creative, independent, articulate and enjoys going to nursery. I
know he is safe and well cared for when he is at nursery.

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.
