Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool in Sowton, Exeter

Our team

We are proud to have a long‑standing, passionate staff team, with some members having been with us for over 20 years. Our practitioners hold a range of qualifications, from Level 2 to fully qualified early years professionals. We also have a dedicated nursery SENCo lead, a qualified Forest School Leader, and eight Designated Safeguarding Officers who are all here to support your child’s journey.

We actively promote continuous professional development, offering training in programmes such as Sing and Sign and Boogie Mites, which bring fun, music, and communication into children’s daily routines. Our team is committed to learning, growing, and providing the best possible care for every child.

Parent partnerships

We believe in open communication and strong relationships with families. Our Grandir UK app keeps parents updated on their child’s day, routines, activities, and key moments. We also host regular stay and play sessions and maintain a vibrant calendar of events, helping families feel connected and involved in their child’s development.

We value every parent’s involvement, knowing it strengthens the bond between home and nursery and supports each child’s progress.

Garden

We have three gardens designed to support different age groups. Our baby sensory garden offers gentle, stimulating features that encourage curiosity and discovery. The toddlers’ garden provides more adventurous opportunities for outdoor play, helping children develop motor skills and confidence. Our main garden for older children is a vibrant, spacious area with exciting play equipment, natural features, and plenty of room for imaginative games and outdoor learning.

Activities

Each week is filled with fun, engaging activities including Boogie Mites, Sing and Sign, Make and Bake, and Sow and Grow. These experiences in our nurturing environments spark curiosity, build confidence, and support children’s interests through hands‑on learning.

Community outings

We love exploring the local community. Our regular visits to the nearby care home help children build empathy, social confidence, and meaningful connections through shared activities, storytelling, and creative experiences.
