September 7, 2024 at 9:40 pmThey helped him settle in really well at such a young age (four months). He loves being there with them and is coming home a very cheerful boy!
They make sure he has everything he needs and I can already see excellent development at home! Thanks to the team!
Really couldn’t suggest them enough.
Five stars all round! The team are so lovely, really supportive and incredible with my little boy.

September 9, 2024 at 5:23 amBoth of my kids really enjoyed it. Very welcoming team that consistently take your needs on board and keep you updated about your kids’s development. My little one’s consistently attending childcare centre with pleasure, and that’s the most important thing to me as a parent. Excellent childcare centre!

September 9, 2024 at 11:28 pmDo not take your kid. They do not care about the well-being of your kid. I had to pull my son out after 3 months of being there.
1. He came back every day with a wet nappy to the point he developed a rash
2. My son struggled to settle so I changed his schedule from 3 full days to 5 half days and they ended up charging me for the 3 full days and the 5 half days. After numerous emails and arguments, they said they will charge for 1 extra full day. All they care about is money.
3. I came 10 mins late once to pick up my son and they charged me £30 extra for coming late. My son could be out of school for weeks but no one will bother to call about how he’s doing but they are first to include all sorts of extra charges for no reason.
I have never received a response to my emails from Kiddi Caru. Not sure if they’re understaffed or is it that they really just don’t care.
Please don’t take your kid to Kiddi Caru! This is the worst Childcare centre in Colchester.

October 28, 2024 at 8:42 amMy daughter has been attending here since she was just over 12 months old and my son attended before that. Team are consistently well quick with a cuddle when my little one is upset and both my kids enjoyed attending this childcare centre. I would happily suggest to others. Welcoming, compassionate team who have helped my little girl sense secure and settled at childcare centre.

October 30, 2024 at 6:37 pmAll the team are so in tune with his wants and needs, and the favourite things he likes. He does such fantastic activities throughout the day, I adore seeing the photos and videos the team members put on the app. Everyone is so welcoming when we drop him off, consistently polite and accommodating. The food he has there is remarkable, homecooked proper meals. It is never nice having the mum guilt of dropping them off when you have to go to work but seeing his smiley cheerful face, and how the team all adore him, makes it a lot easier. My little boy loves being at childcare centre, once he has gotten over the fact we have dropped him off!

November 13, 2024 at 5:49 amAs a family, we adore the new app where we can see everything our little one has been up to throughout the day and even see her meals, sleeps and toileting tracked on there.
The educators in her room consistently have out exciting new activities for the kids to engage in which is lovely to see.
The team are all very welcoming and approachable, whenever I have raised any concerns they have been dealt with straight away.
Overall, a lovely, welcoming and welcoming setting for everyone.
Thank you, Kiddi Caru. My daughter loves coming into childcare centre and consistently seems cheerful when I drop her off.

November 13, 2024 at 1:31 pmHowever, some major changes have been made since the last week of September and I can see a lot of effort is being made to change things around. I’m hoping things continue to improve. To be honest I was very close to pulling my kid out.

November 23, 2024 at 8:18 pmMy little one has been going to Kiddi Caru for a great few years and this year she has graduated and now going to big school.
Little one was shy and had no self‑assurance in herself but with the help and assistance for the Kiddi Caru family, I couldn’t have asked for a better team to be a part of my little one’s life.
So, thank you Kiddi Caru Colchester.

January 23, 2025 at 5:30 amShe absolutely loves it, she has started developing friendships, self‑assurance and her discovering is really showing at home! She loves her carers in her class and usually devours all the food that is put in front of her. Such a remarkable childcare centre. Ever since my eldest got on so well at the childcare centre we knew it would be the best place for our youngest!
Harper Hayden
January 31, 2025 at 2:34 amThey have a excellent relationship with all members of team. I’m consistently being told of the activities they did during the day and are engaged and excited about them. The only complaint I could have is being told my dinners aren’t as great as nurseries! My kid loves the childcare centre.
Reese Frost
February 9, 2025 at 3:44 pmOne of the things I adore about the childcare centre is that every member of team knows and loves our son as if he were their own (Even the chef!).
The manager and her remarkable team make you sense like one of the family and I sense I can discuss worries and concerns from home with them to ask for advice (let’s face it, as parents we all need a little help and advice along the way).
My son is due to finish this year and we have a lot to thank Kiddi Caru for, with their help, he can not be more ready for big school!
My son is consistently coming home telling me a wealth of new things he has learnt and is often upset when it’s the weekend as he can’t go to childcare centre.
We look forward to my next kid joining childcare centre in the next few months and we are glad that we don’t have to say goodbye to Kiddi Caru just yet.
Overall we can not thank the team enough for what they have done for our family. Wholeheartedly recommended! Our 4-year-old currently attends and has been here since he was 6 months.

February 18, 2025 at 2:15 amThe activities they do are excellent, inside and out and all the team are very welcoming and welcoming. The team have been excellent at settling in my son and I adore the regular updates on his progression and the activities they do, he really enjoys his days at the childcare centre.

March 2, 2025 at 2:55 amThey really welcomed my kid as he started halfway through. Forever grateful for the lovely ladies from this branch. I would suggest this childcare centre to anyone. Thank you. The team at Colchester Kiddi Caru have been nothing but fabulous from day one.

April 12, 2025 at 3:24 amShe has come on massively since she attended. She has bonded very well with her keyworker.
All the team have been excellent. They are supportive and expert and have been really supportive and recognise when additional assistance is needed.
The childcare centre offers flexible sessions, which is remarkable.
I would highly suggest Kiddi Caru Day Childcare centre, Colchester. Kiddi Caru has been excellent with my daughter.

April 16, 2025 at 9:21 pmShe has flourished since she joined last year and they have helped and supported me with some big milestones such as potty training and giving up her dummy successfully
She has a lovely relationship with her key workers and has made lots of friends.
The food is excellent, varied, and healthy and my daughter has tried lots of new foods
They keep parents well-updated on what they have been up to with photos via an app which is really nice to see My daughter absolutely loves attending Kiddi Caru, she asks to go even on her days off!
Kendall Sutton
April 22, 2025 at 10:42 amShe has come on leaps and bounds since starting and they work so hard with her to make sure she is getting everything out of her day that she can. One member of team, in particular, is exceptional! My daughter currently attends Kiddi Caru Day Childcare centre Colchester and she loves it there.
Jordan Clarke
April 26, 2025 at 6:47 pmThe childcare centre as a whole is excellent, my daughter has come on leaps and bounds with her speech and both my kids get excited for days they are going to childcare centre. The team are remarkable with my daughter and son.

April 29, 2025 at 3:12 amBoth my boys have loved going here. Can not suggest enough. Team are consistently welcoming and welcoming. I sense cheerful that my boys are secure and very well looked after. Incredible childcare centre. Absolutely exceptional childcare centre.

May 5, 2025 at 11:12 pmGreat food options, occasional cold dinners due to kitchen issues. Not able to give kids home-prepared meals due to kid allergies. Kids are permitted extras if still hungry. Just something to be aware of if considering reducing outgoing costs. However, this is one of the cheapest nurseries in the area!
Able to get into childcare centre in great time. Lots of parking available for parents to use.
Electronic records of kid activities are sometimes incomplete i.e. no food entries for the day when the kid will of course have eaten.
Been a bit of an issue with development reports as not had one sent since enrolled six/seven months ago.
My kid loves it here though, I’m really cheerful with how they look after them and the attention they give. A really lovely childcare centre overall.

June 10, 2025 at 9:41 amI am very cheerful with the care my kid receives at Kiddi Caru Day Childcare centre with full updates throughout the day, doing many different activities each time my kid attends and encouraging daily tasks that are being used at home.
