We've had a really positive experience with Kids Planet Hixon. Our child absolutely loves going and gets excited as soon as we pull up! The staff are all so friendly, approachable and caring, which makes us feel really comfortable leaving our little one in their care. Our older child also went here and absolutely thrived, so it was an easy decision to choose them again. We'd highly recommend the nursery to other parents.

My son has attended Kids Planet Hixon since early 2025, and I honestly cannot fault a thing. The staff are all so welcoming and you can see that they all absolutely love what they do. I have to give a special mention to Lisa and Tracey because he loves them both and I can see just how much they care for him, they go above and beyond any expectation that I had when it came to someone taking care of our son whilst we work. I cannot thank you all enough and HIGHLY recommend this nursery.

We're happy we chose kids planet.

My child has attended kids planet in Hixon since turning 11 months old and will be leaving this year when starting reception. The nursery has been wonderful. I put my complete trust in the staff who've been great throughout all the rooms. The nursery is small and intimate and caters so well for the children. It's given my child a great start in early years and I've felt comfortable leaving my child there to be cared for.
My daughter absolutely loves coming to the nursery. It has really brought her out of her shell and helped with her overall development. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. They are always doing lots of fun things with the children and they have a great outdoor space.

She started when she was nine months old and the care from the team meant that she settled in really quickly. We would absolutely recommend the setting.
The staff are very helpful and always happy to answer queries or check if they have space to accommodate any last minute requests.

We couldn't be happier with Kids Planet, Hixon! The staff genuinely care about every child and take the time to build real, trusting relationships with them. They spend so much quality time helping each child grow, learn, and feel confident.
Communication with parents is excellent - we're always kept up to date and feel completely supported. The team are also really proactive with any referrals or additional support a child might need, which has made such a positive difference for our family.
The facilities are fantastic especially outdoor area, the activities are always engaging and varied, and the food choices are excellent too. It's clear the nursery puts a lot of thought into every detail to make sure children are happy, safe, and thriving.We're so grateful to have our son there - it truly feels like a second home for home.

Great staff who are willing to offer support for anything you need. Allowed us to have ad-hoc days due to unforeseen circumstances and our Son has started to really enjoy going and seeing the staff as well as his friends there. Able to cater for our dietary requirements (plantbased) and working with you and your requirements that your child needs. Always kept up to date with your child's day with the app. Overall would recommend to anyone who is looking to place their child into a nursery in Hixon.

My daughter absolutely loves coming to Nursery. She had a rocky start with settling in as she's super clingy and the team did everything they could to not only help her to settle in, but took the time to listen to what she does and doesn't like and kept me in the loop the whole time. The whole team are so friendly. I love the updates throughout the day and the photos. The crafts she does and comes home with are such a lovely touch too. Thank you Hixon!

Our daughter has attended Kids Planet, Hixon since she was ten months old, and has been attending for over 18 months. She absolutely loves the nursery and the staff, and has built wonderful relationships with them! She has had fabulous key workers throughout her time there so far and they go out of their way to build strong relationships. The team are kind, caring, dedicated, and committed to providing the best care. One of the many reasons we love this nursery is that our daughter really looks forward to attending, going in happily each morning, and being welcomed in by the staff. We look forward to the regular updates through the app to see what the children have been learning and doing throughout the day, and our daughter regularly brings things home too, which is lovely! The children do lots of different engaging activities, with plenty of opportunities to play outdoors. We are exceptionally happy with Kids Planet, Hixon, and cannot recommend it enough. They are a wonderful team of staff.

Lovely staff at the nursery, nursery manager very accommodating and helpful, lovely setting and very friendly atmosphere. Not had any problems with the care here at all. So glad I chose this nursery for my little boy.

My eldest daughter attended Kids Planet Hixon from 9 months old through to starting school in Sept 24. She absolutely loved every day at nursery and couldn't have been better prepared for school. My youngest daughter has also attended since she was 9 months old and is now 2.5 and she is thriving and happy. The udeskole learning is amazing and the range of activities and trips and learning is so vast. Great food. Good communication. And there's not a day in 5 years where I've had any concerns about the care for the girls. There are always events that involve the family and stay and plays which is great. We will be sad to leave in 2026!
Amazing Nursery! My daughter was 9 months old when she started, she was obviously hesitant at first as had never left my side. But the staff have been fab in making sure she settles incorrectly, making both me and her feel much more relaxed about everything. She now does not even look back at me...
Amazing Nursery! My daughter was 9 months old when she started, she was obviously hesitant at first as had never left my side. But the staff have been fab in making sure she settles incorrectly, making both me and her feel much more relaxed about everything. She now does not even look back at me when it comes to dropping off and loves her days in nursery. The ladies make us both feel at ease on nursery days. Amazing setting all around. Happy baby and happy parents. Thanks again and highly recommend it.
My son had been at Hixon for over 12 months now. He has learned so much since being there. The staff are so lovely and willing to help out in any way they can. It's and clean and well kept nursery with the best activities for the kids.

My little boy started here in October and has settled incredibly well, having moved from another nursery staff were amazing and made us both feel very at home on the settling-on process and were so friendly and welcoming! The care that he receives is exactly what I would want from a childcare setting, I feel he is loved by all members of staff and has built amazing bonds with them, I couldn't ask for a better nursery! Thank you for making it easy to leave him in the best hands.

My daughter was at the nursery from 6 months to 3 years. The carers became like family to her and me. They took their time to help her when she was a baby weaning, all her fine and gross motor skills, she developed so well and was so happy from her first day. They nurtured and cared for her and helped her grow into a very happy caring toddler who enjoys indoor and outdoor play. The safe fire pits and hot chocolate are a firm favourite event and sports coach, different activities to other nurseries that are engaging and keep your little one happy and close to natural play.
