    She absolutely loves attending and has made lots of new friends. She has had a number of different key workers throughout her time there so far and they have all been fantastic, providing her with the care and assistance that she needs every day. The experiences that she has had have been incredible and she has developed huge amounts. I would highly suggest this childcare centre. We have been really impressed with Kiddi Caru Day Childcare centre Whiteley ever since our daughter joined a year and a half ago.

    We chose this childcare centre as it is local to us and the opening hours are excellent. The team are welcoming and do greet you with a smile. Unfortunately, we had a few issues since our son started there. He has specific dietary requirements and on several occasions, the handover paper we used to get had stated that he had eaten something that he shouldn’t have. We brought this up several times and were reassured that he hadn’t eaten what was on the paper. It took a stern email to the childcare centre manager to get this looked into properly. But by this time you sort of lose trust in the childcare centre as you don’t know what or who to believe?
    On 2 occasions we picked our son up from childcare centre and found that he has no underwear on! This was unacceptable to us.
    On the whole, a satisfactory journey, but I wouldn’t rant and rave about this childcare centre. Our daughter is going elsewhere. We relocated to Hampshire and our son went to a remarkable childcare centre before and set the bar really high.

    My little one has been here since they were 9-months. The team have been so remarkable at providing them with a secure and nurturing setting to grow and learn, both physically and emotionally. They are excited to go in every morning and I sense free from worry when leaving them. I cannot suggest this childcare centre enough.

    The team are welcoming and know the kids extremely well. My daughter has learnt so much during her time here and she is consistently talking about what she has learned that day. We have consistently been pleased with Kiddi Caru Day Childcare centre Whiteley.

    Most importantly, the team at Kiddi Caru are remarkable. They appear to genuinely care about the well-being of our son and have formed strong attachments with him, which makes it so much easier to leave him for the day knowing he is in secure and attentive hands. It is also clear that they know him well as they treat him as an individual and recognise his needs and likes and dislikes.
    Aside from the outstanding care provided by the team, the activities on offer are consistently engaging and interesting, and I adore to hear about what he’s been up to during the day.
    In addition, the meals offered during the day are consistently varied and nutritious, so this provides peace of mind for his childcare centre days that I know he is going to eat well.
    Overall, I can’t rate Kiddi Caru highly enough. My son started attending Kiddi Caru in October 2021, and right from the start, we have been very impressed with the standard of care he receives.

    The team are remarkable with allergies. Since my son has been there, he has progressed a lot and the team consistently call to keep me up to date if he isn’t quite himself. Would highly suggest. Outstanding childcare centre, welcoming team who go the extra mile and my son loves it there.

    The rooms are so lovely. They keep you well informed with what they have been up to during the day. The only thing I could suggest as an improvement would be to see more parent app updates. All the team are lovely, my kid has consistently enjoyed coming to childcare centre, and runs into the room she is currently in.

    We really wanted to adore this childcare centre, it’s nearby with a nice outdoor space. Unfortunately, we’ve had very mixed experiences over the years. Some of their key carers were excellent but there is a high team turnover at the childcare centre. The ones we struggled with had very little interest in our kids and every day the daily update was ‘they had a great day’ with nothing further and they barely used Tapestry.
    I really struggled with the lack of daily information, especially about food. They would rarely tell you if they didn’t eat or put it on a sheet if it was actually updated. We had an issue with them not giving our eldest breakfast despite being in at breakfast time so we just started eating at home. When raised with management there was little concern and we felt like complaining would negatively affect our kids. We considered moving last year but my son didn’t want to leave his friends so we stuck it out. We have had 2 kids at Kiddi Caru since 2017 and both are now at school.

    The team are welcoming and go above and beyond. The activities that are done are varied. Would highly suggest Kiddi Caru My son has been attending Kiddi Caru Day Childcare centre for 9 months and thoroughly enjoys his time there.

    All team are welcoming and attentive and show a real interest. My daughter’s development has progressed massively since attending and she’s tried foods and activities she may not have tried otherwise. Considering my daughter is quite a shy individual, she absolutely loves childcare centre and can’t wait to go every day, which I think says a lot about the place.

    Range of food offered and exceptional sensory room available to kids. Management are quick at responding to queries. Outstanding facility, kids have a excellent time and are consistently settled going in even though it’s once a week.

    She has consistently loved this childcare centre and has made some lovely friends there. All the team have been excellent, I can imagine it’s a very demanding job and they are consistently smiling. They are very great at putting on days to celebrate occasions like ‘kids in need’ and mothers day etc and I do get regular updates on my little girl’s development and the day she has had.
    It’s so nice that all the team at the childcare centre know my little girl’s name and consistently say hello to her, I sense like they have made an effort to get to know her personally instead of just another kid at the childcare centre. I am sure it helps my kid is a big character and hard to miss. All the team are fantastic but a special appreciation to two ladies in Whale who my little girl is very fond of.
    Would Highly suggest Kiddi Caru Whiteley as a childcare centre. My little girl has been going to Kiddi Caru Whiteley since she was eight months old, she is now four!

    We’re so cheerful with our decision to send our daughter here, she attends 5 full days a week so we really needed to be sure. The team are incredible, consistently so positive. We get lovely updates verbally, in her day book and on Tapestry, and of course on collection. Particular thanks to our daughter’s key people who have taken such incredible care of her in crab and seahorse rooms. Thank you! It took us a long time to find a childcare centre that felt right but we knew when we had a tour at Kiddi Caru Whiteley (Gull Coppice) that we’d finally found the one!

    She is absolutely thriving in childcare centre and the team are very great at communicating at every stage. I have to mention 2 key workers, her key worker in the Clam room – made the transition of her going to childcare centre and me going back to work easy and kept me updated with pictures and calls in the first months of her joining and helped with my anxiety of her being at childcare centre full time, and also her key worker in Seahorse who has made her transition from Clam room to Seahorse so smooth and she has come on leaps and bounds since being in there. She absolutely loves childcare centre and this is a credit to everyone who is there. I cannot fault this childcare centre and the team, it was very important to me as a first-time mum to sense confident and put my trust in someone looking after my daughter when I went back to work.

    I have no faults with the childcare centre. I have recommended it several times in the past. Outstanding care from all the team. My daughter has made several friends within the childcare centre. My daughter loves it here and is consistently cheerful to come and playtime.

    Anything we were unsure about or wanted a bit more updates on, they were exceptional with. The room that he’s in is particularly great, with lovely attentive team and they make us sense so comfortable leaving him there. We also find the food options excellent with lots of variety. Thanks everyone. Our sons been going to Kiddi Caru Day Childcare centre Whiteley for 3 months and we’ve had a excellent journey with the team so far.

    My son has been incredibly cheerful since joining and is developing beyond my expectations. I have Kiddi Caru Day Childcare centre Whiteley
    to thank for the development he is making and I am extremely satisfied with the care he receives. Welcoming, attentive, well‑informed team and carers.

    The team are all lovely, attentive and very informative. My little one consistently comes home cheerful and tired which is a bonus. He’s made such lovely friends with his classmates. Another excellent factor is that they do all kinds of enjoyable activities with them. Incredible setting.

    It has shown a change in the sense of the service and stability.
    The care workers are lovely and well‑informed. My kid enjoys childcare centre and when it comes to price it is very competitive. Use to be outstanding, but struggling to find team and managers.

    The outside playtime area is incredible and activities and day projects really teach the kids age appropriately. A remarkable pre-school too. Would highly suggest. I can not rate Kiddi Caru Whiteley any higher, the team are all genuinely attentive and put a lot of effort into the kids’s discovering.
