My daughter loves going to nursery, she is happy to walk through the door with a smile and barely even says goodbye to me. The staff are so nice and I can tell they love working with children. They always have funny stories when I pick her up, about what she's been doing, and they genuinely seem to
love their jobs. The nursery itself is fairly new and is a clean and welcoming environment, very well looked after. She does a full day, so gets breakfast, dinner and lunch. There is always a good array of foods on the menu!

What a great place. Very impressed with the facilities, building was very clean and it felt very homely. The tour was very informative, all of my questions answered. Amazing outdoor space.

When my daughter first started both I and she was very anxious, however, the staff were really nice and welcoming. I was given updates on a regular basis which was very reassuring. Now my daughter absolutely loves attending nursery, she has shown so much progress. Made friends, interacts with others
and comes home happy.

My daughter has attended this setting since September 2019. She started full time and will leave to go to school come September. The staff absolutely make this nursery. Throughout my daughter's time here the staff have been fantastic. When my daughter went into hospital for major surgery they prepared
her a hospital bag full of goodies and phoned me to check how she was doing on a regular basis, this is just one of the lovely things they have done since we have been here out of many. They are accommodating with short notice changes and just make life easy. The staff truly care about the children, they are kind, caring and professional and the setting itself is a lovely environment. My daughter is very happy here, has such fun and always comes out with a big smile. If you are looking to start your child's journey before school then this nursery has great, supportive staff and is a wonderful environment for development and learning.

Fantastic and supportive nursery. I have been struggling with my child's behaviour and spoke to the staff in the preschool and they offered me great ideas and advice.
The manager is very approachable and friendly and is always there when needed, even for last minute changes. Highly recommend this preschool
to anyone looking for a home from home.

My 2 nieces attend Kiddi Curu in Fareham, I regularly pick them up and I am so impressed with this nursery. It is very clean and well maintained. We have seen many changes with money being spent and it shows the passion the organisation has for it's children. The staff are always happy and smiling which
shows to us as a family that the girls are well looked after and cared for. The food they are offered is amazing and they talk about what they have eaten. The management team always wave or come and say hello and we feel we can go to them if any problems arose but we are happy to say they haven't

My daughter has been at Kiddi Caru Fareham for over a year and thanks to the dedicated staff, she has blossomed and come on leaps and bounds! Would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe and happy place to leave their child.

My daughter has settled in very well and the staff in babies are fantastic with her. My only complaint is if I need to contact the nursery after a missed call or query if no one is manning the phone there is no voicemail service. I feel this would be great to be put in place especially if you miss a
call and they themselves don't leave a message advising why they have called.

Reply from Caron Moseley, Marketing at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Fareham

Thank you for your review and it is fantastic to hear that your daughter is settling in well. Also thank you for highlighting that the voicemail service is currently not available at the nursery - we can quickly rectify this technical error and ensure that you are able to make contact with the nursery when the need arises.

Amazing nursery, couldn’t ask for better staff to grow and nurture my little man and they are so approachable. I don’t need to worry when dropping him off and as food and nappies are included I don’t need to pack a bag every night.
Fantastic!

My two daughters both started here and love it, the staff are friendly, pleasant and will always make sure that you are filled in with everything they have done that day. Every time the girls come home they always have some art work to show off. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who has
a child at any age.

My daughter has just started at this nursery and she is very happy and content. The setting is clean and bright. The preschool room has lots for her to do and her key person is kind, friendly and has made us feel very welcome.

We feel that the nursery has lost its personal touch since it has been taken over by Kiddi Caru. When our child first started with this nursery, we were allocated a dedicated key worker. We received in-depth daily updates about our child’s day, development and things they were working on to help our
child progress and grow. Now we are rarely told what our child has had for lunch. The key worker has changed three times in the past few months. Sometimes we are greeted in the morning by staff members we have never seen before. The staff turn around rate seems to be extremely high. Some of the policies seem to change day by day with no warning. One minute we were given a yellow book with details of our child’s day. The next minute this completely stopped. Then we were given a slip of paper then that stopped. Our child often comes home with jumpers and hats missing and sometimes comes home with other children’s clothes. It seems attention to detail has slipped dramatically since the changeover.

Great atmosphere with good communication. My son absolutely adores his time at Kiddi Caru, they work alongside us to match routine at home. They are kind and patient and have been brilliant at continuing his potty learning. He always comes home happy and he especially loves his freedom to go into the
garden space. They have really helped me with his picky eating and since starting nursery he's is more open to trying new foods so I am eternally grateful. Also, I had a lot of support sorting out the free hours and just great support all around! I highly recommend this lovely space to send your children the staff are fabulous!

The staff are very friendly and welcoming, my son loves it there and he learns a lot.
Lots of activities to do and a great outdoors area for children to explore.
Food is all cooked on-site and it's great they get the children involved and try new things.

My son started at this nursery back in September 2019 and I knew from the moment I went to look around that it was going to be a lovely place for him to go.
The staff have been amazing and the management are so lovely and approachable.
My little boy hates leaving me so the drop-offs have always
been a bit of an issue, but everyone has been so lovely and as soon as I leave I know the tears stop and he has a great day. He is always full of smiles when I pick him up and loves to tell me what he has done.
My son speaks very fondly of all the staff in general conversation at home, and I never feel worried or concerned when he is there as I know he is being looked after so well.
I would gladly recommend this nursery to anyone that wants a warm, happy, fun, home from home nursery experience.

Our daughter has been attending Kiddi Caru Fareham for around 6 weeks and we have been so pleased with everything so far. She was offered settle sessions to help her adjust to her new surroundings, these were a really good idea and helped me also feel at ease leaving her in their care when I returned
to work. I am also very impressed with their attitude towards flexible bookings, myself and partner work varied shifts with emergency services and armed forces therefore my bookings change frequently on a week by week basis, this has never created an issue or complication and I have found the booking process really stress free and reassuring. My daughter is really happy here, she is making new friends and coming home each day talking about everything she has been doing, she is also eating an amazing variety of food often which she has refused at home! The range of daily activities is amazing and there is never a boring day in this nursery! Would highly recommend to anyone considering!

All staff at the nursery made me feel at ease as a new parent, I didn’t know what to expect or what was needed from me, but the staff talked me through each step.
My baby loves going and interacting with other children, I have received lovely paintings and cards already and I love reading about his
day and seeing photos on Tapestry!

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.
