Kids Planet Mereside Farm work to provide children with a safe and secure learning environment, where both their care and educational needs can be meet. Activities at the nursery are tailored around each individual's needs within the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum.
A team of qualified and experienced childcare workers ensure that each child is able to meet their potential, and have opportunities available to them in all areas of their development and learning to aid this.
Each room at the nursery has a tablet available to record and track the progress of each child's journey and progression during their time at the nursery. This information is shared with parents using the 'parent portal'. While the pre-school room uses touch screen technology which is proven to encourage and assist with improving child participation, engagement and understanding.
During their time at the nursery, children are appointed a 'Key Person' who acts as a familiar face for parents and children on a daily basis.

My child has been attending this nursery for just short of a year. He settled from day one and the staff have been amazing. Nothing is ever too much trouble. They are always very accommodating with changes to hours and will do there best to help. My child's confidence has grown massively and he learns so much and all the staff are lovely.
Our little girl started a year ago. She was almost 2 at the time and never been to nursery before. It was difficult for her to leave home and we were worried quite a lot. However the staff at kids planet took good care of her and she loves going to nursery these days. She was such a stubborn girl...
I am really glad I sent her there.
Very good nursery with amazing staff. Always helpful,and understanding. Constantly keeping you up to date with your child's day,e.g what they have been up to, eaten etc. Couldn't recommend them more. Very clean and lots of space for play. All members are lovely and caring.

My son has been in baby room for nearly a year. He loves going to nursery and now shouts yay when we arrive and runs through the door without looking back. The staff in baby room have all been brilliant with him and help encourage him with his talking. The food they provide is amazing and well balanced.
Staff are friendly, communication is great, facilities are brilliant. I feel like my son is striving here. His development seems to be well ahead of what you expect for his age group. It would be even better if there was a term time only option.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are really pleased that you are happy with the nursery provision and how well your son is developing, we have loved having him here as part of our nursery family.

I have had 2 children go through Mereside Farm Nursery during their early years and am so grateful for their patience and care of our children. In a short space of time the staff really got to know both of our children and built strong relationships with them. My daughter who is now at school still speaks fondly about her time at nursery and my son who is in Tweenies is always chatting about the fun he has there. Both of my children took time to settle into nursery and the staff gave them the utmost patience and were so encouraging. For us as parents we had the reassurance of knowing our children were in safe and capable hands, which made the whole settling in process so much easier. The nursery is tucked away in such a quiet and green location that it really feels like the children benefit from so much nature when they go to nursery. It's great to know the children have opportunities to play outside whenever possible and spend so much time outdoors.
Thankyou so much for your lovely review, it is so nice to hear how happy you have all been and that your daughter still talks fondly about nursery. We have loved having both children as part of our Mereside family. Thankyou.

My daughter has been going to Mereside since she was 2 (she's almost 4 now). She is currently in the pre-school room and has settled in fabulously and has made some lovely friends. The teachers in this room are full of enthusiasm which in turn rubs off on the children. There appears to be a wide range of activities for the kids to get stuck into and the app updates during the day are a welcome reminder of what my daughter is getting up to. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery and I know my daughter will miss it when she's leaves in August.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, it's so nice to hear your kind words and how happy your daughter is. We will enjoy the rest of our time with her before she leaves us for school. Thankyou.
She has learned so much and talks constantly about what she's done in nursery that day. Even getting us at home to play the same games she did at nursery!

She has learned so much and talks constantly about what she's done in nursery that day. Even getting us at home to play the same games she did at nursery!
The location is wonderful with fantastic outside spaces and I greatly appreciate the little trips they take the children on; whether that's to the fields down the lane or the local train station!
What truly makes the nursery so special though are all the fantastic staff who create such a wonderful environment. I am always so grateful to know my daughter is having such a wonderful experience every day.
Thankyou for your lovely review. Your kinds words are so nice to read and we always love to hear how happy the children are when they are with us at nursery. Thankyou.
My daughter is full time in the preschool room. Three particular staff members are wonderful, my daughter looks forward to coming to nursery and is coming on leaps and bounds! All the staff are lovely and attentive and it feels like an extended part of the family! Thanks Mereside!

She has made amazing progress in such a nurturing environment, and it's clear how much she enjoys her time at nursery. The updates shared with us are a joy to see, helping us feel connected to her day. The setting itself is beautiful, and the consistency of the team speaks volumes about the positive atmosphere at Mereside.
We are incredibly grateful for everything the team has done and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent. We look forward to being part of the Mereside family for years to come.
Thankyou so much for you lovely comments, we are so glad you are happy with the care we provide and the team, we look forward to the next few years with you all :-)

My daughter attended Kids Planet Mereside from 10 months old until she was 4 and I cannot express how fantastic the staff are and how lovely this nursery is. The care they provide is unmatched, and I never had any complaints. My daughter would run into nursery in the morning with a big smile on her face and not look back. The staff that were there when my daughter started are still there now 3 years on, which speaks volumes, staff and children are happy and content at Mereside. The location is beautiful and I cannot recommend it enough! We will be back in the future!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are so glad to hear how happy you and your little one were at the nursery, please keep in touch with us! Manager and the Nursery Team.

Our daughter moved to Kids Planet Mereside when she was 2 years old. We can't praise enough Mereside for all the care, love, time and effort they have put into making her the curious, adventurous and more importantly, healthy and kind little girl she has become. Moving to a new setting was such an important decision that we didn't take lightly, so we were absolutely delighted to confirm that this was the right place for her to be until ready for big school. All very well-experienced staff, with fabulous on-site catering (this was a critical decision point for us) makes you feel completely confident that your kids are in the best hands. We could track her development via the regular app updates as well as in-person meetings we had. If you're having second thoughts about what nursery to get your children to, think no more and rest assured you won't be disappointed with Mereside. This is by far the best nursery in the area without a hint of a doubt!
Thank you so much for your lovely review - we are so glad you and your little one were happy with our care and we would love for you to keep in touch with us. Kind regards, Manager and the Mereside team

My daughter has been going to Mereside since she was 7 months old, she is now 2 years old. She has just moved from the baby room through to tweenies. The whole time spent at Mereside, I do not have a bad word to say about the nursery, they have really helped my daughter progress and are so informative and keep you updated throughout their days there. The location is great, lovely and rural so they can explore outside! Overall a great experience so far.

nursery staff are lovely and I feel confident leaving my daughter in their care. They seem genuinely happy for her when she makes progress and share the activities she has done during the day when I pick her up. They also did not hesitate when I asked them to make a special card from my daughter for my mom's 70th birthday. I would be happy to recommend the nursery to other parents.

My little girl has been going to Mereside since October last year, and she absolutely loves nursery. We moved her from a different nursery due to lots of changes in staff and just general poor care. We couldn't be happier with the decision to move her; she is thriving at Mereside. The staff are consistent and all very passionate about their jobs; it feels as though they know your child as an individual rather than just a number. I would highly recommend Mereside to any parents!

The communication from staff is outstanding, and they're always happy to talk during handover.
He's always singing nursery rhymes at home which he has obviously been learning at nursery; this is lovely to see.
Definitely the best nursery I've visited.

Lovely nursery with fantastic friendly staff. My daughter has really thrived in the baby room and has come on leaps and bounds development-wise since starting at 9 months old. My child enjoys attending and is always full of smiles for the staff. She eats so well whilst there which is great as she was previously a fussy eater! The outside space is amazing and feels like it’s right in the countryside.
