Our son is thriving in the toddler room, he participates in fun and interesting activities. His speech has also accelerated and we know when he comes home he has had a great day. He enjoys all food provided at the nursery too.

My daughter has been coming to Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Fareham for over a year now and can honestly say the experience could not be better. The development in my child’s speech, eating habits and behaviour has been incredible. My daughter thoroughly enjoys going to nursery and even asks to go at the
weekends!

An excellent childcare provider. The team is experienced and always extra supportive. Our daughter just loves attending and learns something new every day! We would certainly use Kiddi Caru in the future should the family grow.

My eldest daughter started last year and my youngest this January. They are both very happy here and we couldn’t be more pleased with our decision to send them to this nursery! The fact you can choose shorter/longer days instead of having to pay for a 10-hour day is really handy and all of the staff
are so lovely. Thank you!

I placed my only son her on the recommendation of a family member and I am glad I did. My son is in the baby room, it is a beautiful room, very well decorated and looked after.
His key worker is lovely and I drop off with confidence, on pick up I know all about his day and the fun he's had. He brings
home bits he has made.
The food is amazing, such a great choice and he loves his food - so this is a winner.
I would highly recommend this nursery.

My children would come home with injuries but no accident forms. They would come home dirty. My child choked, had to have back slaps, was told they didn't do an incident form as they hadn't bruised him. The manager had no idea this had happened. The nursery would have to regularly close rooms due to
short staff or electrical or maintenance issues.

My daughter has been at Kiddi Caru for the last two years and absolutely loves it.
I'm writing a review today because a few weeks ago we were invited to an open day at the nursery and it confirmed to me why my daughter loves it.
The set-up is brilliant, every single member of staff is super friendly,
which we already knew. Every day at pick up I have a detailed handover of what my child has been eating and up to. I am military so things can change at a fast pace for our family, but the manager is amazing and very approachable to help us if need be. My daughter has absolutely flourished being I'm nursery. I firmly believe, with the help and guidance of every single staff member at kiddo Caru, is why my daughter has great speech and a great understanding of things. I would definitely recommend Kiddi Caru, the setting and all its staff.
Thanks for being great everyone. Keep up the great work.

Kiddi Caru Fareham is an excellent nursery. My daughter has been attending for just over 2 years.
The staff love and nurture my daughter. My daughter has learnt to count, sing and play with other children. The nursery have advised and guided me and my husband with various things, but really helped
with toilet training.
Kiddi Caru also supported our family's choice to use cloth nappies.
I have a very happy, confident, smart and empathetic child and I owe a lot of that to them.

What can I say? We as a family love this nursery, my eldest daughter has just left to go to school. The nursery had a great graduation with some fantastic pictures.
We recently went to their open day and the ladies pulled out all the stops to offer everyone, parents and children, a great time.
My
youngest daughter is in the toddler room and loves the ladies in that room, she is offered lots of different activities and loves getting messy. I cannot speak or promote this nursery enough.

I was really impressed with Kiddi Caru Nursery as it had a home feel. Very well organised and the staff were welcoming. My child's keyworker has been attentive and supportive in helping him settle in.
Furthermore, my child, as well as the other children, have so many toys and books to play with and
read, a very resourceful environment.
My child has really enjoyed da variety of lunches and teas. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

I moved my son to Kiddi Caru Fareham 2 months ago. He joined the baby room and settled in instantly. I find the staff to be very warm, nurturing and have a calming aura. Any concerns raised have always been instantly discussed. The facilities and play equipment are majority free and open play. I love
that my son has a large open room to self-discover. The food options are great. I know if he didn't like the set meal for the day, they always provide alternatives for him.
I truly feel this nursery is the best in the area.

Since our daughter started at Kiddi Caru, I've only seen positive changes in her. The staff are wonderful and helped my daughter settle amazingly. The feeling I get when I see the connection she has with them makes me so happy and reassured she is looked after. I would highly recommend Kiddi Caru Day

Our son has been at Fareham Kiddi Caru for 3 months now, to start he was a little unsure but the staff have all been so caring a nurturing to him and his needs. He now goes in with a smile and a cuddle for the staff each morning. I believe my child is well cared for and is given opportunity to develop
at his pace, I like the nursery so much I recommended this nursery to a friend and her son also now attends.

Little one has changed so much since starting nursery. He had become a more independent, observant little boy. There's next to no se[eration anxiety. The nursery has helped him with self-feeding, to the point where I feel confident letting him feed himself.
We get told of different ways he's made
them laugh from pinching other's dummies to chuckling when he's pinched another piece of toast.
He's just a happy chappy and learning something new every day.

Reply from Jessica Lawrence, Marketing Executive at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Fareham

Hello, we are so pleased to hear how much your little one has enjoyed their time so far at our Fareham nursery and that the nursery has helped your son with his self feeding.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 9 months old, and we as a family have been made to feel very welcome since the very start. The staff are happy and friendly, and we are met each morning with a smile. If my daughter is having an unsettled day, they will always reassure me and
are happy for me to call and check-in. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and is run by a fantastic management team. During Covid, it has been hard to go in the setting itself, but I am always updated at the end of the day upon collection with what she has been up to, what she has eaten, and even if it is a member of staff that doesn't work in her room, they still know her by name and will know what information to pass on to me. I was concerned about her speech development during lockdown, but since going into preschool, she is excelling in her speech, and I know that has a big part to play by the staff at this setting. The menu choices are varied, which is great. Thanks team.

Reply from Jessica Lawrence, Marketing Executive at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Fareham

Hello Kelly, we are delighted to hear that you have had a great experience at our Fareham nursery and that your little one is excelling in her speech since starting preschool. At our nurseries it is important to us that all children have the opportunity to taste different foods and that there's always a wide variety of engaging activities on offer. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, and we will be passing your comments on to the nursery team at Fareham. Thank you.

My daughter has attended the nursery from ten months old. Initially, I was very anxious about this but after a week or so it was obvious that she had settled in really well. She has got better at eating and even naps (which I thought would be impossible with my little one!). The staff clearly adore
her and she has made many good relationships with them. She spends lots of time playing in the garden and the staff seem to engage with the children very well helping them to achieve.

Both of my children attend this nursery and both children love it. I have one in preschool and one in the baby room.
More recently my eldest child was very poorly, to the extent an ambulance had to be called and the ladies were amazing. The member of staff had only started that day and was with my
little one the entire time. All the ladies took amazing care of him until his dad and I could get there. (I work a 40 min drive away in good traffic). The manager took time out of her day to ring and check on him the following day.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.691)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.691) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Fareham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.691 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Fareham is calculated as follows: ( (253 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (15 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.691

  • 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 Fareham is based on 22 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 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 22 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.
