Day Nursery Owned by Kids Planet Day Nurseries in Cambridgeshire

from an older, stronger child who remains in the baby room, reportedly due to staffing issues. As a result, she has frequent bumps from being pushed or poked.

We have raised this with management several times, but despite repeated reassurances, nothing has changed and the risk continues. The room staff are caring and our daughter is happy with them, but her experience is overshadowed by the ongoing safety concerns caused by inappropriate age-mixing. We have now submitted a formal complaint and are contacting Ofsted while awaiting a response from the nursery.

for our children and focus on their development, with daily updates on activities they enjoy doing and regular assessments of their development. They put a lot of effort into planning creative activities for all ages including fun day trips with the preschool group. Other examples include encouraging families to share photos/details on family culture to get to know our children better, a bowl of fruit at the entrance of the nursery and tea and coffee for the parents. These are only a few examples of the way in which they make everyone feel happy!

ones and that children are encouraged to explore without worrying that the activity is messy. I like the attention the nursery puts on diversity and to make sure it is celebrated. Recently the nursery has also started a new activity I really like: they provide suggestions and material to do things at home with the children. For example today there was the option to pick up everything needed to make a simple bird feeder and a list of birds to spot with your children.

building is ideal with connecting outdoor spaces so our children to play together, which they love! Preschool outings (train, bus, botanical gardens) are hugely enriching. CAN now appears well managed and all staff (chef, cleaners) seem content; there has been little turnover in our 1.5yrs there. The preschool environment can feel a bit 'genderised' (we hear comments about girls' outfits, hairstyles, princesses); whilst this may be child-led, we do hope that kids are encourage to play, dream and dress however they want without reinforcing stereotypes that might limit their potential. Overall CAN compares favourably to other nurseries and we're very happy, well done to all staff.

to each child, making sure everyone feels safe, happy, and included. The atmosphere is positive, full of warmth and creativity. The learning program is excellent, combining play and education in such a thoughtful way. I couldn't ask for a better place for my child to grow and learn.

expensive this is not specific to KP and is rather a UK wide problem.

it now feels much more settled - and there are many initiatives that are provided (clothes swap, mini library, fruit to take home, tea and coffee for parents, tooth care kits etc).

I would highly recommend if you're looking for a nursery in the city centre (ideally there would be a more natural play area, but options are very limited in the centre).

keep the little ones busy and actively learning. I particularly love the emphasis on outside play which I know really benefits my daughter. My daughter is always happy and busy playing when I arrive to collect her - and sometimes doesn't want to leave yet!

and shares the songs she has been learning by singing and babbling all the way home. Having used other settings for our other two children we particulalry appreciate the consistency in staffing, the cheery and warm atmosphere that the team cultivate, and the efficient and consistent communication. We get photos every single day showing us what she has been doing, and it is clear that the staff genuinely enjoy their work and the company of the babies they care for. We are completely happy with the nursery - they are doing a truly outstanding job.

every day. Also, they have different sensory trays or activities set up each day, as well as singing and dancing - we see our child coming from the nursery with new skills or new dance moves :)
There is an in-house chef, and based on the menu each day, I trust that they serve diverse, healthy and nutritious food.

admin team are not great at replying promptly to emails but are fantastic when you ask questions face to face at the main reception.

a delight to watch as this is a recent introduction.
Everyone is really helpful and always listens to parents requests and questions.

We feel confident knowing they're in such caring and capable hands.
Last year (summer of 2024), there was quite a bit of miscommunication with the management, as the manager changed a few times over a short period of time. However, since the manager took over, everything has been running smoothly.

enjoys her time there.

and the genuine care we see them dole our to our LO is unbelievable. We couldn't be happier. Bless them all for giving our boy so much love and care. We are truly thankful.

would be reduced.
- new staff should introduce themselves when they start, to make it easier for parents to know who is taking care of their child.
- communication could be improved, but efforts have been made by management so, even if not perfect, this is better.
But overall, a great nursery, I don't regret our choice!
