Kids Planet George Perkins is an Ofsted "Good" rated nursery (May 2023) situated just 2.5 miles from the City Centre. The emphasis is on ensuring their practice is the best it can be and in 2017 received Level 3 accreditation as a “Healthy Setting” which led on to being shortlisted for the 2017 Nursery World Awards in the Health and Wellbeing category, recognising their “Building Healthy Lives” initiative.
The nursery aims to be the children’s second home and they have embraced the cosy atmosphere of being based in a house whilst being versatile in the use of space, keeping separate rooms for small groups of children when needed and then opening up to provide a free-flow environment to maximise access to a wide range of facilities and opportunities for them to develop. The nursery is divided into three units, the Under 2s (Babies and Tots), Toddlers and Preschool.
Parents are recognised as their children’s first educators and communication between home and nursery is encouraged in a variety of ways. In addition to the informal discussions held regularly with parents regarding day to day developments, biannually Parents’ Evenings are held, providing reports detailing children’s progress and which also offer workshops on aspects of child development and parenting.
Regular newsletters are sent out to keep parents informed and there are several opportunities to go into the nursery to join in with activities with their child; there are regular “Stay and Play” sessions as well as opportunities like pancake making on Pancake Day, afternoon tea on Mothers Day and many more festivities.

George Perkins Day Nursery is wonderful. The level of care, the imagination and kindness of the staff and the communication between key workers and parents is excellent. The nursery is located in a large house; the baby and seedling rooms are fairly small and the sapling rooms are more spacious, which nicely reflects the needs of children at different stages. The nursery has a personal approach to day care and have impressed us with their attention to each child's individual needs at their varying ages. It is also very creative about making learning and personal development fun. They have a large outdoor space where the children are encouraged to be active, to help grow flowers and plants, to get messy and to play with their wonderful (and safe) new water pulley system. The food served for meals and snacks is healthy, varied and nutritionally well balanced. Having a child at George Perkins makes you feel like part of a family and I can't thank them enough for looking after our child so well.

This is a wonderful nursery where children receive excellent care and superb opportunities which provide them with solid foundations for their education. Staff are knowledgeable, caring and approachable, genuinely care for the children and make children feel safe and happy. Staff focus on children’s social and emotional development as well as developing their basic skills being led by children’s interests. The nursery works hard to involve parents and are committed to teaching children about healthy living. The space is in a large house and feels homely and the outdoor area is brilliant and gives children amazing opportunities for exploring.
Thank you for your review. We are especially pleased that you appreciate the work we do with children to build healthy lives. We think our outdoor area is brilliant too!
She is so happy there, always excited to go and has fantastic binds with all the staff. They spend so much time...
The staff are all lovely and really passionate about expanding their knowledge regarding how children learn and develop. This is fed back to us through parents evening which I find really interesting.
Thank you for your positive review. We never underestimate how hard it is for parents to leave their precious child at nursery for the first time so I'm glad you felt we managed the process well.

Our daughter started nursery for the first time at George Perkins nursery. It was a fantastic experience. We have a sensitive little one who is highly attached to her parents. The staff were very understanding and caring towards her. In a matter of months, she went from "crying" to "can't wait to get to nursery". She loves it there.
Thanks so much. We in turn have been so impressed with how well she settled; not letting the fact that she had no English hold her back from enjoying nursery life.
When my daughter used to attend this nursery she received a lot of support. It does not matter whether your concern is small or big, directly related to your child or just a general enquiry, whether your child is...
When my daughter used to attend this nursery she received a lot of support. It does not matter whether your concern is small or big, directly related to your child or just a general enquiry, whether your child is in full-time care or only uses funded hours - the staff will do their absolute best to help and accommodate your needs.
In my daughter's case, they really put effort into helping her to come out of her shell (she was a very shy child) and to start eating a variety of foods (she was a very fussy eater). Now my son is attending George Perkins and he is extremely happy there.
They focus a lot on healthy life choices, such as food and exercises, nurturing parent-child relationships and developing practical life skills through various real-life experiences. Their manager is a very hands-on person, who takes the time to get to know all their children. She has created an outstanding team!
Thank you for your review. We are thrilled that you have been so pleased with the care and experiences that your children have had at our nursery.
