My son has been with Kiddi Caru Fareham since he was 1. We moved from another Kiddi Caru setting due to personal reasons. I am very happy with the care he receives and I feel confident leaving him in their care. He settled quickly and was happy to go into the baby room. He is now in toddler and loves it. He enjoys the activities they offer and has made friends with the other children. Management has always been helpful and friendly. He has a great bond with his key worker and she always goes above and beyond to make sure he is happy. The nursery is clean and inviting.

My little one has been going to the nursery for six months and his confidence has just grown. He has a lot of dietary issues but the nursery and staff there are fantastic with making sure he is included at meal times but also kept safe. He has gone from someone who would cry when being dropped off to someone who now doesn't even look back at me when I bring him in. I get progress reports and photos of what he is up to which is lovely to see.

My daughter has been going here since she was 15 months old and I could not recommend the nursery enough! The staff are so friendly and can tell they really do care about her! I get regular updates on what she has been doing and feedback on her development which is fantastic! I can tell my daughter has absolutely thrived being here and she absolutely loves her days and nursery! My youngest daughter is about to start in babies and again have had a wonderful experience they have really listened to my concerns as I am quite nervous with weaning and made me feel so at ease!

My granddaughter has been attending Kiddi Caru for nearly 2 years and this past year she has come on so much, especially since moving to preschool. I know there have been some management changes recently but we have always been kept in the loop and communication has been great throughout and there have been many positive changes since the change in management they are much more approachable, friendly and professional. I definitely feel once my granddaughter arrives at nursery she is welcomed and cared for exceptionally the staff are so caring and lovely and passionate about the children. There always seem to be exciting new activities set up daily and my granddaughter is learning new things weekly it's amazing what she comes out with. Everything is uploaded on the app so can check her meals which the chef does amazing catering lovely meals for all. Overall Kiddi Caru really is a safe happy nursery and I wouldn't send her anywhere else the team are just outstanding in my eyes.

I have only had a positive experience. The staff are kind, caring and very patient. My son has warmed to the staff and I am seeing growth in his communication, socialising, and all-round personality traits. I am very very happy we enrolled our son in this nursery. I cannot recommend it enough.

My child was seen as an inconvenience due to their disability and extra needs. Instead of addressing the failings within the nursery, and offering appropriate support and guidance for my child, they excluded them. They do not cater for those with additional needs and do not take responsibility or accountability for their mistakes/failings. I was told that they were not teaching my child anything and that they were just crisis managing. When challenged, they put the blame on me or ex-staff members. They did not follow risk assessments or plans put into place and would make promises they did not follow through with. It is evident that proper and effective training is not provided to enable those with additional needs to be correctly supported. My child has since moved to a different setting and the positive change in them is surreal.

Last 3 months felt like my son had overstayed his welcome. Manager left and things changed. Communication went poor, at first I sent a message to my son's key worker and she totally ignored me until I sent a follow-up 7 days later to which she basically responded by rewording my question instead of giving me a proper answer. As a first-time mum, I really needed this information to help with my son's Grade R information pack. I then sent a follow-up message which she completely ignored which I really felt my GDPR rights were not considered. I wish she could have given me a better excuse than just ignoring me and smiling at me like nothing went wrong on the nursery app. I approached her thinking she'd explain in person but she gave me a hug and said "I guess you can do with one today". I complained to the regional manager who never viewed my messages at all (maybe left too?) and later to the other lady who was senior too. She asked for my email and never heard anything till to-date.

Excellent nursery with amazing staff members. They feel like part of the family and my son never hesitates to go in for the day. Good communication and management are always free for a chat if you need them.

My daughter has been attending this setting for a while now, she started off in the babies, moved to toddlers and is soon to be moving up to preschool. This nursery has been the best thing for our daughter, she is a massive character with a huge personality and this setting and staff let her shine! She is always encouraged to do what she is capable of and supported to do more! The level of learning and interaction the children receive is amazing, and they always have different activities going on for the children to take part in Our daughter never comes home sad, in fact, some days I think she'd rather stay! The staff at Kiddi Caru have been incredibly supportive and reassuring whenever we have had problems arise and have always been quick to action them with constant updates along the way. If we could keep her here forever we really would, I've never felt at ease being away from my daughter but when she is attending nursery I do, this is because we know she is in the best hands!

Such a lovely setting. Amazing staff who take great care of my daughter. My daughter absolutely loves this nursery, she has been here for over 2 years. She has always been very settled and happy here.
28 July 2023
Our daughter has been going to Kiddi Caru for just over eighteen months since she had just turned 2. She absolutely loves it. She started off in the Toddler room and then transitioned in October to Pre-School. The way the nursery is set up meant that the transition from room to room seemed absolutely seamless, and she has a great relationship with staff; in particular, she adores two staff members who she is always talking about at home, and it's so lovely to know how much she loves them and how safe she evidently feels with them (and the other staff of course!). She always looks forward to going in and always comes out grinning and saying how much fun she's had. Happy daughter, happy Mumma! Since the introduction of the new app, communication has been even easier too.

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery have looked after my son in his first few months outstandingly. He has been a challenging baby at times to settle in and they have shown him love and unlimited patience. We feel so at home!
26 July 2023
Since my daughter started here at Kiddi Caru. She has become a lot more confident, talking more and happier. All members of staff have been amazing, especially her key worker.
26 July 2023
My child has recently moved to toddlers and has settled in so well. The transition was smooth and seamless and he has built fantastic relationships with three members of staff in particular. One member of staff knows my child very well and has such a loving and warm relationship with him. Staff go beyond their job roles in accommodating my child and ensuring he is happy and healthy. Thank you!

Fantastic nursery. Welcoming and approachable ladies. Always have the children's needs and care in their best interest. They have built great relationships with me and my family and I recommend them to everyone.

The nursery really cares for the children every day. My child is in preschool and will leave in August. The progress he has made, thanks to the wonderful staff here, is amazing. They teach him every day and inspire him to become a better child. He has thrived and grown and this is all down to the staff here. A homely, warm, friendly and educational environment.
20 July 2023
The staff at Kiddi Caru Fareham are wonderful. My child has gone from strength to strength since joining and is excited to go to nursery every day. I am regularly updated with my child’s progress and if I have any questions or concerns, the staff are always on hand to help.
13 July 2023
Since day one the staff have been amazing with my daughter, and she settled in perfectly, they always ensure that her needs are met. Every morning the staff are very welcoming and my daughter always has a smile on her face. I was always anxious of my firstborn going to nursery but as soon as I dropped her off on her first day I knew this was the best nursery she could be at. The staff are very professional, kind and caring and there is not one bad thing to say about them. I would 100% recommend this nursery!
06 April 2023
Kiddie Caru is a nice nursery a child can attend, encouraging the children to do it yourself, especially in the aspect of personal care, which is very encouraging. The environment is clean, and the staff are doing really well in the aspect of feedback. My child becomes alive, chatty and happy immediately after he sees the gate of the school. I would only expect the nursery to contact parents when a child is absent from school to check what is going on with them because calling the nursery to inform them about a child's absence may not be answered if the line is busy or the call gets transferred to another location. Thank you for a job well done.
