My nine-month-old son has just started Kiddi Caru Park Gate and the staff have been amazing! I was initially really nervous about leaving him as I had never left him with anyone other than my mum for an hour or two and all of the staff have gone above and beyond to ensure he is as settled as possible, the care they have provided is exceptional and I will always be so grateful to them for taking such good care off him. The management team have also been incredible and not only have they supported him with settling they have also been there to support me whilst I transitioned back to work after maternity, the kindness all staff have shown doesn't go unnoticed and I will be forever grateful. I would recommend Kiddi Caru to anyone. There is no better feeling than knowing your baby is being cared for to an exceptionally high standard.

Our child really enjoys going to nursery, she has made lots of friends and enjoys doing all the activities that are laid on for her. She also participates in tennis once a week which is a skill I really want her to learn. In terms of her development, she has come on leaps and bounds, for example, her communication skills, writing skills and even being able to eat properly with a knife and fork. The staff at the nursery are all really professional and engage with our daughter, and it's nice to see that she is so happy there.

Fantastic nursery and staff. My little one joined in April this year and it's been amazing to watch her flourish and develop more confidence and skills. She absolutely adores everyone who works with her. They make so much effort to make her feel comfortable and welcome from the second she walks through the doors.

My daughter loves Kiddie Caru Park Gate. Every member of staff makes her feel welcome, and she cannot wait to go every morning to see all her friends. My daughter started in January 2023 due to not getting on well at her previous nursery.

I absolutely love the Park Gate Nursery for my daughter! She's 17 months old and has been going there since she was 8 months old, they've been absolutely amazing with her in the baby room. She had trouble going into nursery for the first few months (due to strong attachment issues), the girls helped as much as they could and were so amazing with her, and now loves going in and seeing her friends and the staff. She also has had problems with food intolerance and the nursery has been so accommodating to her diet changing frequently. They're the most lovely group of people, extremely helpful with any questions I have about the nursery or about my daughter (milestones/advice on things such as disciplining certain behaviours). I feel completely comfortable leaving my daughter in there and know she's safe and well looked after.

My son attended Kiddi Caru this year and it was the best experience for both him and us. The staff made us feel very welcome from initial enquiry through to tour of the facilities, and then each day he was in their care. They cared for him like he was one of their own and always welcomed us. They have the right balance and style, teaching the children, nurturing them, keeping them engaged, and also when required discipline. My son always had a good day there, every grown-up in his room seemed to be his favourite. The management run the nursery exceptionally and wish we'd used this particular nursery sooner. Also meals are free - an added bonus as it does make a significant addition to fees so it was a pleasant surprise to our first invoice to realise this. They make each day fun, they go to the park, or the local shops if it's nice weather for ice poles, use their Forest School area, or have a coach that comes to teach sports. I knew he was safe and had no daily worries. Amazing place!

My kids used to love coming to this nursery, unfortunately the last 3-4 months my eldest has started to scream when I tell her it's time for nursery, she's non-verbal so can't tell us what's happening. She gets very distressed when it's time to go, I have had 1 update in the last 3 months on what she has been up to and practically have to beg for photos and updates of her, in the last 7 months I've had to keep both kids of about 12 times due to staff sickness. Some of the staff have been absolutely amazing and I'm genuinely gutted that I've had to make the decision to move my youngest to a different childcare provider because I will miss the interactions that these certain staff members have had with my children. Unfortunately there are many other incidents.

My child has been attending since November and they've really created a home-from-home environment. My child is encouraged and supported by the caring staff each day to grow and develop. All the children know each other's names and welcome each other in the mornings and when they leave. It's so lovely seeing my child's happy face when being collected at the end of my working day. The team are fantastic.

I am very happy with my choice to send my 12-month-old to Kiddi Caru Park Gate. As an exclusively breastfed baby, it was very challenging at the beginning, but the staff members were wonderful in providing support and making sure my baby was cared for. The staff members are loving and caring and clearly show empathy for my baby (and others) when they are upset. To me, this is the most important. In terms of learning, I love that my baby is being read stories every day and sign language is used by members of staff. I love being able to communicate through the app and getting updates about my baby and what he is up to.
30 July 2024
Very good nursery. My child is very happy to attend and I have not had any issues with staff or other parents. Good location, great communication, very attentive to childen and quite clean compared to other nurseries my son has been at. Only shame is the spread over of 30hr free childcare over the course of a year.
30 July 2024
Great setting throughout, but a special shout out to the nursery cook! Understanding and proactive staff, management always present and approachable, my son has been happy here in the preschool room. Keep up the great work all team members.
29 July 2024
The nursery staff are very friendly and professional and I feel very comfortable leaving both my children there. My children have learnt so much since they've been going to Kiddi Caru and they've come on leaps and bounds. The management/admin team are so helpful and always willing to go the extra step to answer all our questions. I would absolutely recommend Kiddi Caru to anyone.

My son has just started at Kiddi Caru Park Gate, he has been there since the start of July and I was very nervous as he is exclusively breastfed. I wasn't sure how he was going to cope with being away from me, but the staff have been so amazing! He has settled so well into the room and I can see so much development in the very little time he has been there. The staff always give a handover of his time at nursery and they care so well for him. The manager has been amazing in helping me feel settled and at ease if I've had to pop in to ask any questions. I am very happy to have chosen Park Gate as my nursery for my son.
09 July 2024
Upon viewing the nursery me and my husband knew straight away that this was the right one for our son, from the staff, to the setting layout, to the meals and overall cleanliness. He has been attending the nursery for 6 months now and has come on leaps since attending. The staff are so kind, friendly and overall such lovely people. Our son loves the staff within his room and has a fantastic relationship with his key worker as we do. The support we have all received as a family in times of need has been incredible. He has come on so far since attending, and all our thanks go to them. We very much look forward to our daughter joining them after Christmas. Massive thank you to all the staff at Kiddi Caru, Park Gate, we couldn't want or ask for anymore when it comes to the care we and our son have. Thank you all.

My son loves going to nursery at Kiddi Caru Park Gate. He settled in so quickly and has so much fun. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming. They are really caring and kind and helped so much with the transition to nursery. The app is also amazing - they log everything, every nappy, nap and photo, which is really lovely!
28 March 2024
Myself and my husband were completely blown away by the presence of all the staff! Rerouting our child, at the near end of preschool, felt difficult until we stepped into Kiddi Caru. Our child has begun to already grow and develop in ways I may not have believed possible! The love in this environment is very obvious from the moment you walk in.

We are so thankful we’ve chosen this nursery for our little one, we were overwhelmed that she can be well settling within short periods, she seems very happy and enjoys her time in the nursery. All the staff members are very supportive and friendly. We like the observation system, as parents we all wish to find out what things and skills our little one learned and developed while she was at nursery, and this is very useful for us and helps us to get to know more about our child. We are truly grateful to all the staff at the nursery because every one of them takes fantastic care of our little one.
18 March 2024
Although my son has not been there for long, the team have been brilliant in ensuring he has settled in very well. All of the team have been extremely helpful and have gone through the whole induction process in a professional but friendly manner. They have taken the time to get to know my son and are happy to work around him and his/our needs. I am very happy we chose Kiddi Caru Park Gate and I am very positive about his future there - thank you!
15 December 2023
Very friendly, welcoming and caring staff. Always make an effort in the children's interests and talking to the parents a short time about their day on pick up. Very prompt updates on incidents if they happen. Get photo updates on what the children have done, which is always lovely to see. Would highly recommend for any age.
15 December 2023
Kiddi Caru Park Gate is a fantastic nursery run by a great team. The service we have received from the team, and specifically the management, has been outstanding. Their willingness to go above and beyond to look after the children is admirable and their genuine want to develop their own training to cater for neurodiversities should be seen as brand leading for Kiddi Caru. They supported our son who has SEND through his day-to-day, diagnosis and his transition to school - often off their own backs, in their own time and without additional resource. Like with any setting, there limits to what education and care providers can magic out of nowhere, but the genuine care from the staff created a wonderful learning environment for our son, where others could not. Subsequently, our daughter has joined and loves it!
