Fantastic nursery! All the staff are very friendly and attentive to the children's needs. My son thoroughly enjoys coming to nursery and is always learning new things. Everyone comments on how good his speech is and I feel this is largely down to nursery. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Kiddi Caru in Marsh Barton is amazing, we weren’t planning on putting our son into nursery until he was a bit older but we were so impressed at the open day that we changed our minds.


He absolutely loves it and everyone is so friendly, the care given is fantastic.
We recommend you to everyone.

A genuinely fantastic nursery, which surpassed our expectations from day 1. Our toddler has a lovely time there and has bonded well with the staff, to the point of being excited to get there each week to see them, we can't speak more highly of our toddler's key worker (and the other staff). The learning
through creativity, play and social experiences really stood out to us against other local nurseries, and the daily food menus/options are excellent.

The staff at Kiddi Caru in Exeter have made putting my daughter into nursery so much less stressful than I thought it would be. She loves going there, is learning new things every day and couldn't have settled in better thanks to the wonderful staff across the three rooms she has been in so far. They
give me peace of mind and I know my daughter is in safe hands whilst I go to work. I would recommend this nursery to anyone in the Exeter area.

Kiddi Caru Matford have been nothing but excellent since our son started as a 6 month baby in April of last year. He has thrived with all the interaction and fantastic activities he gets to do and comes home exhausted every day - a sure sign of a fun day! (and he sleeps wonderfully because of it!).
We are very happy with the care he receives and the overall experience he gets on a weekly basis.

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Exeter, Matford Green is fantastic - the facilities are amazing but it’s the staff that continue to impress me. The key workers are so engaging with the children and really go out of their way to accommodate their individual needs. Even the managers know each and every one of
the children by name and have fantastic memories for things going on in the children’s lives. The food is freshly cooked and the menus are so broad and interesting. The activities are also broad and very engaging for the children. The facilities are clean, bright and airy too which just adds to the happy atmosphere there. We are so happy to have a place for our daughter here and feel so comfortable sending her there for day care. We would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone.

I couldn't wish for a better nursery for my son to attend. He has been going since September 2018 and absolutely loves it. All the staff are so welcoming, friendly and professional. The food menu is literally 5* and cleanliness of nursery is to a very high standard. By far the best nursery I know of
and have no worries or concerns when my son is there as I feel so at ease and confident he is in the best care.

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Exeter is a wonderful day nursery, it’s bright, spotlessly clean, the rooms are huge with lots of areas dedicated to different activities and the outside space is set-up fantastically with streams, roads, sandpit and climbing frame made from natural materials. The staff are very
friendly, helpful and take great care in looking after the children. It’s also very well managed by the team.
Basically, we couldn’t want more from a nursery, thank you so much. The only comment for improvement are the doors and the locking mechanism... these are frequently getting jammed and it’s frustrating waiting for other doors to close before the door can be opened. Also, it would be nice for all rooms to have the opportunity to go out on more trips (e.g. fire station, cattle market).
Unfortunately, we’re moving home at the end of next month and the local Kiddi Caru is too far away so the new nursery has very big shoes to fill!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.948)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.948) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Exeter, Matford Green is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.948 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Exeter, Matford Green is calculated as follows: ( (423 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 444 Ratings = 4.948

  • 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 Exeter, Matford Green is based on 37 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, which has been reached with 37 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.
