I am both a parent and staff member for the past 2 years. My little girl loves coming to nursery , she is reaching all her expected developmental milestones thanks to the hard work of the team. There is always exciting activities set up. The new curriculum is preparing them for school promoting their independence which really shines through in my daughter. New management has made significant improvement for both children and the staff and it's always continuing to improve.

The team here at kiddi Caru Fareham have been so fantastic with our son. He has a cognitive/speech delay of around 18months, with their support he is beginning to catch up. Couldn't ask for a better team! The preschool setting has recently had an update and looks amazing, they have a good variety of books, toys and themes throughout the year to keep the littles entertained. It's a nut free setting too so no worries on that front. The food is apparently very good as he always eats 10x better when he's there than he does at home 🤣💖 It's staggering to see how much he has grown in confidence. His key workers are so patient and work very well with him 💖 Highly recommended
