Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Hitchin

My daughter attends preschool at Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Hitchin. The team is passionate, knowledgeable and nurturing. They put on a range of different activities throughout the day and give children lots of autonomy to choose their own activities. They also have the door open with secure access to the garden all year round when not raining, it’s great that the kids get fresh air and that space to play. All of the staff are incredibly warm and genuinely care about the emotional and developmental needs of the children in their care. The last year or so has been difficult for the nursery on an administrative/management side – but this is getting better now the manager is back from maternity leave and the transition to Kiddi Caru has bedded in – but this does not detract for me from the excellent care provided by the nursery/preschool staff throughout the facility.

Our daughter has attended Kinders Mill since November 2020. She joined during lockdown but despite not being able to physically go in with her she settled so quickly and has always been very happy going in. Her development has come such a long way thanks to the help of all the staff and all the activities that they do. They are really supportive of whatever challenge your child is going through (changes in naps, potty training, etc).
The nursery has had a tough year with changes in management and a recent Ofsted inspection, however, I am really pleased with all the work that has been done to address any concerns the inspection raised and I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to other parents.

My son and daughter both go to Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and are incredibly happy there. The team that works there are incredibly supportive, and are really friendly and caring towards the children. Both of my children love going and run in each day. A range of activities are offered which they both seem to enjoy and the team are focused on helping them learn and develop. I would highly recommend.

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery staff have given our son a really good first experience of nursery. He’d only been cared for by parents and grandparents until the age of three so it’s been a big change, but staff were sensitive to that, and I was impressed by how quickly they managed to make him feel safe and engaged. It was also really reassuring to go in to visit and find such a cheerful group of children.

My son joined Kiddi Caru Day Nursery in February this year and the team that care for him on the days he is in are outstanding. The nursery, as a whole, was extremely welcoming, I felt anxious in the first weeks he was there but the reassurance from the nursery was more than I ever expected.
We have brilliant communication throughout the days he attends and always a detailed update when he is picked up. If for any reason I have had to ask the team to do something in particular for my child they do it without any issues. Any questions or queries I have had are answered on the spot without any hesitation and I believe that the team within the nursery care for the children just as much as we do as parents.
All staff are super friendly, kind and informative and would highly recommend the nursery, your children will be made to feel completely at home.

Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Hitchin has been an amazing place for our son to begin his nursery journey. From a difficult start (with him being upset to be in a new place), it was o only a couple of weeks before he was excitedly going to the team’s arms and coming home full of smiles. We love the utilisation of apps to communicate with us, meaning we get a full rundown of his day (sleep, food, toileting and activities), and the observations are our favourite; pictures of him doing activities or learning. The team also thoughtfully help our son to make things like valentines cards for mummy and daddy, which are so beautiful and a good show of their passion for our children and family. Our team have changed a little over the months, but the current main contacts, all have great relationships with our son, and root for him (as excited as us when he reaches milestones like walking). Highly recommend. (We are in Otters).

We have had a wonderful experience with Kiddi Caru. They were very accommodating when we were making plans to join and also great at communicating. My 18-month-old son has really enjoyed both Otters and Hedgehogs rooms. They are so reassuring at drop-offs, even when our son is upset. Would highly recommend

My daughter has been at Kiddi Caru for 2 years and is now in the preschool room. She has developed lovely relationships with the staff and children and really enjoys going every day. The new app makes communication even easier as well as seeing a rundown of her day. The staff are caring and compassionate. It would be even better if the preschool outside space could be improved and use of the additional building be for something other than storage. Overall, I am really pleased with our experience here.

A place I will recommend to my friends and family.
Wonderful staff and management.
Kids are looked after well as per their needs. My son needed attention so we discussed with the team and they are working on him. Satisfied and glad that my kids are going here.

We started with the nursery in January 2023 and have had great service, high levels of care and professionalism from the team at Kiddi Caru.

We look forward to even great relations as journey with them on this mammoth task of taking care of our kids when we are engaged elsewhere.
