Review of Kids Planet Durham from A K (Mother of Child) published on 18 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little one has been kids Planet durham since 2022. Throughout her whole time here, the staff have been amazing. I couldn't wish for better people to have been apart of her young childhood. The care they give her is brilliant. My little one loves her nursery days and talks about everyone and everything she does daily. Thank you for making everyday so much fun for her. She has created so many amazing bonds with staff and the children over the years and as parents that is all we ever wanted for her.

The only place i would ever recommend to anyone

High Bank is a fantastic nursery! Our daughter has been going since 9 months and we have loved it from day 1. The facilities, ethos and staff are all amazing. Our daughter is a shy reserved child and the oatience/support she has been given has been greatly appreciated and beneficial.

Review of Kids Planet High Bank from Joanne S (Mother of Child) published on 5 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little boy has been with High Bank since being a baby and is due to finish this summer ahead of moving on to school. His younger sister also attends the nursery and has settled well in her time there so far.
The class grouping by age means that activities are tailored specifically for their developmental stage - it's really lovely to receive photo updates of what they have been exploring, whether that be forest school, reading or playing with toy animals in gloop!
The staff throughout all classes are wonderfully caring and encourage appropriate levels of learning and creativity.
Access to the outdoors was a huge priority for us and High Bank offers a unique environment for them to explore the world around them.

Activities such as gardening, sports, and French help make the nursery's environment truly unique. They provide enriching experiences that support my children's growth and development, giving them the opportunity to thrive during such an important stage of their lives.

Review of Kids Planet High Bank from Emma S (Mother of Child) published on 2 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little girl has been attending High bank since she was about 9 months old and is currently 2 years 2 months, she has been in three rooms across her time and each room has been fabulous. The staff are just the loveliest, hardest working bunch. The effort they put in to creating a fun, friendly environment with endless learning opportunities is second to none. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds in this nursery, and she will be remaining here until school age. As a mother with older kids who have attended around 5 nurseries between them across the local area, this is miles above and my little one literally runs in every morning.
Set in the countryside, visiting the farm animals in nursery time and before and after with us is a highlight for all of the family and we look forward to seeing them every day!

The food is fresh and home cooked and having tasted it personally I can see why my daughter always has seconds. Highly, highly reccomend.

Overall Experience

My little boy recently started at Kids Planet High Bank in the babies room and I have been impressed with the facility so far. He settled in really quickly and the staff are really kind and caring, taking the time to get to know him and make sure he is happy and having fun. I love the outdoor space and there's always some fun activity going on to ensure he is learning and developing. I'm really looking forward to watching him grow at High Bank.

Review of Kids Planet High Bank from Georgia G (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Both of my children attend High Bank and have since age 9 month old. I wish they could stay until 16 yrs. The staff are amazing the grounds are beautiful and the learning is excellent, children love their days at nursery, and have been well learned and prepared for school, from academic learning to talk training getting dressed + being independant.

I would like to just add the staff are exceptional, caring.

Review of Kids Planet High Bank from S R (Mother of Child) published on 3 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with high bank nursery and the care our child receives. Since starting here in 2024, our child has grown so much in confidence, independence, and social skills. The progress we've seen has been amazing, and it's clear how thoughtfully the team supports each child's individual development.

The staff do a wonderful job of teaching key skills through fun, engaging activities, and the nursery places a strong emphasis on outdoor learning. The udeskole approach and the many opportunities to be outside have been fantastic for our child's development, encouraging curiosity, resilience, and a real love for learning in nature.

Our child settled in extremely well and is always happy and eager to attend, which is very reassuring for us as parents. The nursery provides a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment, with excellent communication and a truly dedicated team all staff go a. We would highly recommend this nursery to any family. We have our son joining this year.

Review of Kids Planet High Bank from Lauren H (Mother of Child) published on 22 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have always been incredibly impressed with the provision offered at High Bank. Since joining in the babies all the way through to the toddlers room I have always felt supported as a parent and that the staff genuinely care about the children. Our son has come out of his shell, is so confident and loves going to nursery. I can't recommend high bank enough!

Review of Kids Planet High Bank from S M (Mother of Child) published on 19 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child has attended High Bank since he was 15 months old and has always been very happy there. Since High Bank was taken over by Kids Planet there has been a significant improvement in the communication between staff and parents and the facilities/equipment have improved a great deal too. They follow a forest school ethos and spend as much time as possible exploring the natural environment. The outdoor facilities are brilliant and the indoor spaces are also great for rainy days.

My son is loving the weekly football and French lessons as well as visiting the animals on the farm and the recent addition of the tipi preschool classroom. I highly recommend this nursery/preschool.

Review of Kids Planet Darlington from Will A (Father of Child) published on 10 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has attended the nursery for over a year and he still loves it, he looks forward to nursery everyday and that speaks volumes to us, that's the biggest perk that he enjoys it.
I think it all comes down to the staff, each member of staff is amazing and extremely supportive to staff and the children. Us as parents and our child think very highly of every one of them.
The facilities there are great and the garden is huge, really good for children to play and explore all year round. The nursery document his meals and he eats better than we do, varied meals with a good balanced diet.
We did have issues with billing, days / times that we preferred however thanks to the integrity of a staff member this was resolved, giving more trust in us picking the right nursery for our child.

Our son comes home with a smile everyday so I couldn't ask for anything more, a big thank you to every member of staff from the parents of Oliver. We really appreciate you. Highly recommended nursery !

Review of Kids Planet Durham from Sam J (Mother of Child) published on 14 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I couldn't be happier with the care and attention my daughter receives at this nursery. One of the things I appreciate most is the wide range of activities they provide - from creative crafts and sensory play to outdoor exploration and group games, there is always something new and exciting for the children to enjoy.
What really stands out is how the staff take the time to notice what my daughter is particularly interested in and then encourage her to explore those areas further. She always comes home excited to tell me about what she's been doing, and it's wonderful to see her growing in confidence and developing new skills while having so much fun.

It's reassuring to know she's in such a nurturing environment where her individuality is valued and her curiosity is supported. I'm so grateful to the team for making learning such an engaging and joyful experience for her.

Review of Kids Planet Durham from P S (Father of Child) published on 14 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff are wonderful and the nursery, we couldn't be happier with. Our son has developed massively and been catered for so well in education, confidence, physically and behaviour.
The facility is always spotless (and for a nursery this is outstanding) and the staff are so encouraging that all the kids are challenged and involved.
A side note is that I have always joked that my son eats better than me when he is offered a massive varied menu and, for a picky eater, hearing all the food he's tried (or wolfed down) is magic.

Would strongly recommend to anyone considering this nursery to get at least a look in.

Wonderful learning environment, always something new and interesting that the children then come home and discuss. The meals and snacks are always a hit too, fuelling them for their next adventure or activity. All the activities are well thought out/adapted to match the age group.

My child loves attending preschool at Kids Planet. He enjoys playing with his friends and nursery workers with activities he is interested in a natural way. My child has formed brilliant bonds with all the nursery staff he interacts with and they are all so friendly and personable.
