Both my children have attended kids planet, my son is currently there and leaving soon. The nursery has been brilliant with both my children and we will miss all the amazing friendly staff. This nursery has been a fantastic start to my childs education.
My little boy started coming here and as a first time young mum i was nervous at every drop of and felt guilty for leaving him behind especially when he was crying, however all i needed to do was call for an update on how he was doing and whoever answered would be really reassuring and happy to speak to me. The girls are so supportive and made me and my little boy feel safe and comftorble. The care that all the girls show to the kids is just amazing as you walk straight through the gates you will see all the nursery staff playing in the playdground with the children singing and having lots of fun , my little boys favourites are ranee and lydia although they have moved out of his room now everytime they see him they will stop and talk to him. This nursery is honestly amazing and my little boy loves it and so do I.
Couldn't be happier with picking this nursery for my first & only child! He has been coming since 9 month old for twice a week he is now 18 months old and to see his confidence and cheeky personality shine through is good to see. All the staff are so friendly and helpful and I know they adore my little one & I know he looks forward to seeing them and going into nursery he just walks through the door without a care in the world! I feel reassured he is safe and well looked after and have no complaints at all xx
I couldn’t be any happier how my daughter has settled into her nursery. Before she started she wouldn’t go to anybody she doesn’t know. Now her confidence is so much better, she does things at nursery she doesn’t even do at home!! She’s coming on more and more every day, I’m so happy!
Great nursery with the fabulous staff who have a friendly and fun approach. My child looks forward to going and has a good day. Individual targets set and progress monitored and fed back which is appreciated.
My daughter has been attending this nursery for 4 months now, I am so happy with how much progress she's made since joining here. I would encourage anyone to join this nursery due to its excellent facilities and staff.
My child has done a variety of different activities here, she's even been on her first proper day trip which she really enjoyed. The staff and management team are really helpful and organised, the whole place is always safe, clean and tidy. The children are always well looked after.
I love how this nursery has an app for parents to view their child's day to day progress and photographs. There is also now an option that allows parents to buy any of the photographs that the staff have taken of their children. I think this is a fantastic thing to have, I've never experienced anything like this at any other of the nurseries.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough, I struggled with my child settling in at first since she was so clingy to me but due to the staff members' continued support for both myself and my child she managed to settle in, and very quickly she became extremely fond of going to nursery. The staff have always been great and always listened to any concerns I had regarding my child, they are all extremely friendly and caring and seeing how my child has progressed over the years by watching videos and seeing pictures is just an extra bonus!
The level of care provided is excellent, and my daughter loves the staff there. It makes it slightly easier leaving her because I know that she is going to be shown affection and looked after to a high standard whilst she is away from me. The baby room is so big, and there’s a separate outdoor area for them. There’s an app which you can see little photographs and videos as well as updates on how your child is. Cannot recommend it enough!
I think this is an amazing nursery my daughter loves it. She can't wait to go every morning. When she's not in she's upset.
The staff are very welcoming and pleasant. And the environment and play areas are well tidy.
The staff are always very helpful smiling and welcoming, rain, snow or sun. The mood of staff is always the same, which gives us great satisfaction that we are leaving our child in safe hands.
This nursery and the team go above and beyond to cater for our grandchild's needs. Each child is an individual. The team teach, care for and encourage. We feel very welcomed and the team always make time. We are not from the area and travel up to an hour to get there, this shows just how pleased we are with the care and the progress that our grandchild makes.
I feel my child is cared for to a standard that I would care for him myself. My partner and I are raising our son to be kind and empathetic and this is what I get from his key workers and the nursery manager consistently. As my partner works away, I am regularly stuck for childcare and the nursery is always happy to remain flexible and really has the parent and child in mind always. The food provided is of a high standard and freshly cooked on site to provide variety and balance.
The nursery is always immaculately clean and the children are kept safe, warm and clean while still being allowed to explore and learn through play. The nursery also go above and beyond throwing lovely seasonal and inclusive parties and organising events that enrich my son's experience. Thank you to you all, you really are amazing.
My son has been at this nursery since September 2016. As a SEN child the staff have been very helpful and understanding and have helped me with his needs. I can not thank them enough for their help and support.
Our two-year-old child came to this nursery after his previous nursery had said they could no longer cope with his behaviour/additional needs. From the start, this nurseries attitude to our child's difficulties was very different to what we had experienced previously and they dealt with the incidents in a calm and practical manner. They quickly got to understand our child and identify strategies that really helped him and he is a much calmer and happier child since attending the nursery. The nursery is clean and well equipped with an excellent outdoor space that the child can access most of the time. The staff are all professional and friendly and treat the children with kindness and patience, plus the feedback about our child's day is very good with lots of anecdotes about what he has been doing.
The activities set out are always fantastic it shows a great deal of planning next steps and meeting targets for each child. I'm very happy.
Since my child has started at nursery she has progressed so much. I was concerned with her speech before she started at nursery but her talking and social skills have come on so much! She looks forward to coming to nursery and there are no issues with dropping her off there.
This is a very good nursery with experienced staff. My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was six months old and she is now 2 years, she enjoys it very much. Since coming here she has learnt a lot of new things and I am very pleased about that.
My child is provided with a safe and secure environment. The manager is fantastic.
A great nursery that goes above and beyond to help and support the children. All the staff are amazing and make me and my son both feel welcome. I'd recommend this nursery to all my family and friends.
My son has attended this nursery for almost three years now. Initially, like many children, he would get upset upon arrival. This gave me doubts about the nursery, however, I couldn't be happier that we kept him here! Now he is older it is clear he loves it, he has a great time and gets the opportunity to experience many things with this nursery. The staff have been supportive all the way! I can't thank them enough!
