Kiddi Caru Redhill is a fantastic nursery. My daughter has attended the nursery since she was 7 months (she is now almost 3) and she loves it. The activities they organise every day sound so much fun and educational and the staff are friendly and welcoming. As it is a purpose built building the facilities
are great, especially the outdoor space which they use everyday.

From the first time we put our little boy in to Kiddi Caru when he was 18 months old we have been extremely impressed with everything about it. He is now 4 and he absolutely loves going to Nursery which, as far as we're concerned, is the most important thing. All staff are dedicated and attentive to
the children's needs. Our son's key workers have been brilliant and the nursery itself is set up well.

Kiddi Caru Redhill is like an extension to our family, both of my children have attended from the ages of 18 months to 5 years old and the staff and carers have become as much a part of the children’s childhood experiences as any family member has. Conscientious, friendly, happy regardless of whatever
is happening and incredibly dedicated to the children. The whole experience has been as good as if the children had been home with their parents. An added benefit is the level of personal development for each child too, reading, PSE, awareness, creativity etc they are better prepared than most children to enter the school system, even over prepared which is never a bad thing. I can’t praise the staff at Kiddi Caru Redhill highly enough.

The nursery is fantastic. My son has had a lot of fun, learnt so much and has really developed over the year that he’s been going.


You’re always given a good handover as to what your child has done through the day and all the team are very friendly and helpful.


I would recommend this nursery

to friends and family.

Very happy with my daughter's tenure at Kiddi Caru. The administration staff were extremely efficient in onboarding her from her previous nursery and from the first day her team of carers have been attentive, innovative and very caring. She enjoys going to the nursery three days a week. We have seen
a demonstrable improvement in her speech and confidence.
The newsletters are well produced and the daily reports are accurate and informative. It's a well-run organisation.

Our daughter has been through all 4 rooms at Kiddi Caru Redhill and has loved every minute. The staff are great - fun, caring and energetic. Nursery isn't cheap, but with an Ofsted Outstanding rating you feel you are getting the right value for the cost.

Our child has been at Kiddi Caru pretty much since it opened back in Autumn 2015. Having had experience of other private day nurseries in the Reigate area, we have been very pleased with the childcare at Kiddi Caru, Redhill. The staff are always welcoming and our child has made great bonds with their
carer and peers. The facilities are fabulous, as the premises are less than 3 years old. Our child always says they've had a great time at nursery and engages in so many different activities that we wouldn't necessarily have access to (or the imagination to set up) at home. Thank you to everyone at Kiddi Caru, your recent outstanding rating by Ofsted is certainly well deserved!

Kiddi Caru is a wonderful nursery. Good leadership works wonders in any set-up and Kiddi-Karu is the perfect example with the management meaning the staff are inspired and supported to be the best they can. I believe this leads directly to the upbeat and child-centred work ethic of all the staff I have
encountered. They all know my daughter well and she is so happy to go there each day. The rooms are clean, bright and filled with exciting things to do. My daughter loves the yoga and French sessions especially. They have free-play as well as structured activities every day so all learning and play styles are catered for. The outdoor space is also well set-up and the kids spend lots of time outdoors. The food is really good too, with my daughter eating things there she would never touch at home - I wish they would put the recipes online for us! The staff recognise and encourage my daughter's talents and interests as well as supporting her physical needs. All in all 10/10!

Our daughter has been at Kiddi Caru since she was 1 and is about to move into the pre-school room next week! We couldn’t be happier with the nursery, she is well cared for, happy, has made friends, loves her keyworkers and all the staff, they all do so many lovely activities, she runs in in the morning
without a backwards glance!

Fantastic nursery with great staff that made us and our child feel comfortable and assured leaving him in their care. They have great activities and facilities and are very accommodating to us as parents who have never left their child with anyone else before.

Over the last 3 years, my daughter has always been keen to start the mornings at Kiddi Caru and after a long, busy and tiring day she does come back with a beaming smile. The staff do seem to know magic tricks to keep them busy, but ensure they look forward to the next day. Recently, the team has also
been exceptional in managing a personalised care plan for my child to deal with eczema.

We're thrilled with Kiddi Caru! From our first visit to the superb daily care our daughter gets - everything about this nursery is outstanding.


Varied activities, cheerful and caring staff, great facilities and a super organised admin team make all our dealings with them a pleasure.


From the outset,

ALL the staff have been incredible. To see our little one's smile and excitement at drop off and the genuine affection between her and the staff fills us with confidence. Our key worker has been amazing and keeps us regularly informed of all the learning developments and observations she makes, which is nice as it keeps us in touch with our daughter's independent life!


I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Our 2.5-year-old daughter has been in this nursery since she was 9months old and has always loved her time there. The staff pay very close attention to her development and keep us well informed. They encourage her to test her skills and develop new ideas and games - she is never bored.
Her key carers
have always bonded well with her, despite quite a large and busy toddler room. There have been some issues with staff turnover but these have been handled well and our daughter's care has never been negatively affected.

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.
