Review from Shane W (Father of Child) published on 12 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

There aren't enough good things I can write about this wonderful nursery.

My child has many struggles, autism, speech and interaction. The sheer amount of work they put into making Jaxon feel at home and the 1 to 1 care with limited resources, all whilst attending to the other children.

They have dedicated one of the workers, Max, and the relationship they have formed is so special. Max truly puts everything into making Jaxon happy, which is easy because our Jax is such a happy little boy. But not just Max, Natalie the care manager, Jade, I could go on. All brilliant people and just truly brilliant at what they do.

Thank you all for the work you put in, it doesn't go unnoticed.

I particularly appreciate how nursery communicated with parents, keeping us informed about the children's day and progress. I would highly recommend Kids Planet Newbold to any parents looking for a good nursery.

Overall Experience

Happy parent with my choice of nursery, my son has formed really loving connections with both the key worker in the baby room and then toddlers. I am satisfied knowing he is safe and enjoying a wide range of activities, since moving up to toddlers I have noticed him using manners and I believe nursery has sped this along. The staff are great and that makes the world of difference to his time there and how I feel about him going

Review from Jessica M (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I heard about how good Newbold kids plant was through friends made at a local play group, and a good friend of mine whose child had an amazing experience there.

The staff are amazing and quickly made a close bond with my daughter, she's become so much more confident since staring there its lovely to see. It's really helped with her development milestones too, every day she seems to have learnt something new. It's such a warm inviting space for children to learn and grow and become independent, the staff are angels and just radiant warmth and love for what they do. Very lucky to have the best nursery on my doorstep, thank you very much for making the hardest transition of motherhood that much easier.

Review from Laura W (Mother of Child) published on 27 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot praise this nursery, the manager and the staff in the toddler room enough. I was dreading sending my son to nursery as he has never been left with anyone other than his nana, me and his dad. The staff made me feel so at ease and the manager answered all my questions both in person and via email (very quickly). My son has settled so well and even when he was having a difficult transition period the staff did everything to make him feel welcome and cared for. I am so thankful I found this nursery for him. His eating has come on amazingly and his speech improved withing the first few sessions. Highly recommend.

Overall Experience

My granddaughter has been coming to this nursery since September and has settled really well. The staff are attentive and compassionate, they always show an interest. They work on lots of development milestones and my granddaughter has really come on in leaps and bounds, her social skills are excellent as a result of the environment and stimulation. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Review from Paisley C (Mother of Child) published on 23 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 3 girls currently attend Kids Planet Newbold, it's a fantastic nursery, all staff and management go above and beyond. The girls are always upset when I leave them but from the support and reassurance staff give, means they always have a fantastic day and are very happy when I pick them up. My eldest who is 3 always comes home singing different nursery rhymes she's learnt, counting her numbers and practising her ABC's. Great communication amongst staff to parents. They use a fantastic app in which you receive photos of your child during the day, information on what they've eaten, nappy changes etc. Variety of different snacks and meals are also given. Overall brilliant!

Overall Experience

My son has attended the nursery since the summer of 2022 and has been in all three rooms during his time there. The staff have been so supportive in all settings and his language, numeracy and general confidence have developed so much thanks to the hard work of the staff. We have loved our experience at Kids Planet and will be sad to leave this summer when my son starts school.
