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.

Review from bethany t (Mother of Child) published on 19 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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

Overall Experience

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!

Review from Sonia J (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Rabia H (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Review from Sydrah T (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter was at this nursery 6 years ago, and the fact that I’ve trusted them to care for the new baby says it all.

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Elizabeth S (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Fisherfield managers and staff are both caring and accommodating.

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.

Review from Julie (Grandmother of Child) published on 22 January 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

My son started nursery at 8 months and he's enjoyed it since! The staff are caring, friendly and professional at all times. At drop off and pick up time the atmosphere is lovely, very relaxed and calm. My son is looked after well and all his needs are met.

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.

Overall Experience

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!
