Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Park Gate

From the start the team at Kiddi Caru Day Childcare centre took excellent care of my little one. He can be quite shy so it was nice to see the girls genuinely trying to help him settle. It’s consistently nice coming to pick him up and listening to him tell me about his day and how much he’s enjoyed himself. My little boy has been with Kiddi Caru Day Childcare centre Park Gate for a little while now, we had moved from another preschool due to the original one closing down.

She talks positively about team and seems to have made some friendships which is lovely. Updates with team is great and efficient. I am pleased and assured with safeguarding emails going out. I sense hopeful that eating habits are improving at childcare centre also with the meals provided, fingers crossed. Where I have given 3 stars (satisfactory) it is only because I don’t sense we have been there long enough to know. I look forward to the outside space expanding also. I am really cheerful with our journey of Kiddi Caru so far, I consistently leave my daughter there confidently knowing she is comfortable and cheerful, catered for and having enjoyable.

He enjoys spending time in the garden and getting involved in adult-led activities. Managers are consistently welcoming and will consistently listen to me if I want to chat with them. The childcare centre keeps me updated on things that are going on and I sense confident knowing my son is getting the best care he deserves. Kiddi Caru Park Childcare centre Park Gate is a lovely home-from-home setting, my son loves coming to the childcare centre every day and consistently talks about the fantastic friends he has made.

The facility is secure and secure (our last childcare centre wasn’t!). There’s lots of activities on offer and a fantastic large outdoor space. We made the choice to change nurseries and we’re so glad we did! The team are inviting and welcoming.

Childcare centre have called kids social service on us repeatedly, claiming my kid complained of being smacked. They never saw marks, bruises, anything suggesting so. They told CS that my kid said I ”smashed” her nose, (ridiculous) and I asked could it be hidden from plain sight if it ever happened, considering the fact that these kids are in childcare centre 3 days a week, what magic could cover up a smashed nose? But they reported regardless. I believe they are trained to spot a troubled kid/home and having been with them for over 3 years now, they should have better judgement/curtesy to call our attention whilst they proceed to report.
Several times I have picked my kids up having either a swollen head, cut in the hands, stomach pain as a result of a fall in the garden, daily snotty nose, etc. I raised it up but absolutely nothing was done, not even an explanation but they are more prompt with calling Kid Services. My kids have been here since 6-7 months, never had any issues until the past year.

When I looked around the childcare centre I fell in adore with the baby room especially the home-from-home setting and I knew it was the perfect childcare centre for my son.
I don’t need to worry about leaving him as he is cheerful to go in each morning and still smiling when I collect him in the evening.
The management are really understanding and supportive.
I would suggest Park Gate to anyone looking for quality childcare. My 10-month-old son has been attending Park Gate for 2 months now and he has settled in really well.

It’s so nice for me not having to worry, especially with starting a new job soon and knowing she’s enjoying “school” and well taken care of, so thanks! She has just been blossoming into her own lately and doing so well socially and emotionally, it literally relaxes my heart and reduces my stress knowing for certain she’s in such great hands. You are all so lovely, it really does take a village and this single mama has picked the right village. I know it’s a paid service but my kid is so cheerful and she comes home every day cheerful from childcare centre, so just wanted to say I really appreciate the team and how they’ve been looking after her and how her self‑assurance has grown since being there.

They all attended a different local childcare centre since my eldest was 8 months old. That other childcare centre setting was all myself and my kids knew, however, they didn’t offer term time only. This was the main reason for my change and now my 2 youngest are both attending Kiddi Caru. After 1 week of tears at drop-off, they are both so cheerful and settled, the team are so communicative and understanding, they have all made what was a very overwhelming time for me a excellent deal smoother and easier. The welcoming atmosphere, flexible options for working parents and attentive approach hasn’t changed from when we first started to now a month later. We definitely made the right choice for so many reasons and I sense that every time I collect them. I’m excited to see how my babies learn and develop with such a excellent team who noticeably strive to better theselves and make positive changes for the babies, toddlers and preschoolers. I have 3 kids, my eldest is 4 and in school now and my youngest is 1.

I can see that she is very cheerful to be there and the relationship she has with the team when we walk in and the grin that appears!
They eased all my doubts about leaving her in childcare centre at such a young age and I’m glad I was able to find the right childcare centre for us! I was so worried about putting my daughter into childcare centre at such a young age and had so many people telling me I should be staying at home with her etc but as soon as I walked into the childcare centre for the walk around, I felt so relaxed and I just knew instantly that this was the childcare centre!
She has only been attending the childcare centre since the start of May 2022 at 4 months but she absolutely loves going and she adores the team.

All team are so inviting and attentive. I adore hearing that they have had cuddles with the team and that the team join in their playtime etc. It makes my kid sense loved and secure, away from myself. In particular, the three ladies are very attentive in preschool. All 3 are mentioned by my kid in such a positive way. I get a great update on collection every day. The kids eat well and their behaviour is managed with praise. My only improvement would be that activities should challenge the more intellectual kids further, to include counting, experimentation, estimating cause and effect etc. I sense my kid could be pushed further in this respect. But apart from this, I really have nothing negative to say about the childcare centre. I’m very comforted that my kid is so well looked after. Thank you! My kid is extremely cheerful at Kiddi Caru Day Childcare centre Park Gate.
