We've been with Kiddi Caru since January 2023, and overall we've had a really positive experience. One of the things I appreciate most is the lovely relationship my little one has developed with all the carers, it's clear that the staff genuinely care and create a nurturing environment. If I had one bit of feedback, it would be around the app updates. Most days we only see check-in and check-out times, but not much about meals or daily activities, and there aren't many photos. It would be great to get a bit more insight into what our child is up to during the day. That said, I feel confident leaving my child in their care and really value the consistency and kindness of the team

I first saw this nursery when I went for a scan just opposite the building and automatically thought how one day I’d love it if my child go there, it just looked fantastic! I enrolled my child when she was 1.5years old and she started off in the baby room. Laura (the manager) and the whole baby room team were absolutely fantastic at dealing with a child who is not good dealing with change. Fast forward a year and my daughter is thriving! I couldn’t thank every single member of staff along the way enough! Even I still want to go there!

Our daughter loves attending Kiddi Caru. The staff that look after her are always so friendly and are happy to see her in the morning and she always runs in and is happy to seem them too. When we collect her at the end of the day, the communication is great. They tell us what she has been doing, what she’s eaten and how she’s slept. This is sometimes updated on the app too. We see observations on the app, with photos attached, so we have a good understanding of her progress. We enjoy receiving things that she has made at nursery too. We really can’t fault the care at Kiddi Caru and we highly recommend this nursery!

The nursery team have been amazing in helping our little one settle in when he joined at 14 months old. Their attention to the level of care and communication has been exemplary. From settle sessions to helping when teething, the staff are caring and very competent. The nursery app supported by the team also keeps us updated with all the activity throughout the day. I would not hesitate to recommend Grandir Kiddi Caru Day Nursery to parents looking for a safe and friendly environment for their child.
