Review from Danielle P (Mother of Child) published on 19 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little boy started kids planet when he was 2, he has extra needs and from the day he started we received nothing but help, the nursery manager always went above and beyond for us, the girls in the rooms took great care of him and catered to his needs which meant he built some beautiful bonds. I was worried before he started as I've never left him with anyone before but he settled in straight away.

Nothing was ever too much, i was updated daily on his progress which put me at ease. The nursery manager couldn't have been more amazing, she made sure he got all the help he needed and completed his EHCP, whenever i was worried or had a query it was dealt with straight away, my little boy left in July 2025 to start reception and I can honestly say we miss the nursery and staff so much! If anyone ever asks me about nurseries I always recommend kids planet. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us!

The nursery is lovely. The rooms are well thought out with nice zones and toys for the children, well organised and well kept. The staff are all so warm and welcoming and do a fantastic job. The staff are compassionate, professional and dedicated. My daughter loves going to the nursery which is the best feeling for me.

Overall Experience

Our little girl has been attending Kids Planet Denton since she was around 7 months and she loves it! The staff are so genuine and caring, always going above and beyond. They really do treat the children like their own. The management team are also amazing! Always happy to accommodate when we need to change our bookings and they are so approachable which helped massively especially when we had all the normal parenting worries that you have when joining a nursery. Cannot fault them, we are so happy we chose to send our daughter to this nursery.

Reply from Yvonne Pinkney, at Kids Planet Denton

Thank you so much for your review! We know how hard it can be for parents when children start at nursery and we always do everything that we can to make the settling in process as easy as possible for children and parents. It's lovely to hear your feedback about the team as they do everything they can to help all the children feel happy, safe and engaged throughout the day.

Overall Experience
My daughter has loved her time here and is now much more confident in herself and goes in happy every day. The lovely staff helped her settle in and she has bonded so well with them, she talks about them at home constantly.
Always learning new things and enjoying herself shown with the pictures the staff upload to keep you updated. Great menu for the children every day too.

Highly recommended :)

Review from A B (Mother of Child) published on 3 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was very hesitant to put my little boy in nursery because he can't talk to me about his day just yet but a lot of people has told me how good kids planet Denton is and how amazing the staff are so I decided to put him in 3 days a week while working to see how he gets on and I can honestly say he's ran through the doors of nursery every time he's there because he loves it that much! I'm so pleased with how the well the staff has looked after him and how comfortable they have made him while he's there! Constant updates and to be told how he's got on during the day when we pick him up is amazing! Highly recommended to anyone who is thinking about using this Denton nursey

Review from R M (Mother of Child) published on 10 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son really enjoyed coming here, albeit it took him a few weeks to settle but that's because he didn't start till he was 2 ( gov fund scheme.)He was only ever used to me or his dad.
All Staff made him feel welcome, and his key worker. He found his way to her and she then became his key worker.

Unfortunately his time came to an end but he has said he will miss his friends and staff ( did say their names). He will eat most things and I think that is mostly down to the exceptional menu they have to offer.

Reply from Yvonne Pinkney, at Kids Planet Denton

Thank you for your review! We are so pleased that your son has enjoyed his time here at Kids Planet Denton and we know the staff are all going to miss him so much now he is starting school, especially his key worker. I will pass on your lovely feedback to the team.

Review from Hayley A (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son recently started at Kids Planet Denton and has settled amazingly well. This is greatly down to the staff who are all so friendly and attentive, from early morning drop-offs to pickups you are always greeted with a smile.
The whole process from application to settling in sessions and starting is so well organised it makes a daunting process really straightforward. I am so grateful that I have been able to return to work confident that my son is happy, content and well taken care of. Updates via the app throughout the day provide extra peace of mind.

Thank you to all at Kids Planet, especially to two particular staff members in the baby room for making a first-time mum feel reassured that her baby is in good hands.

Reply from Yvonne Pinkney, at Kids Planet Denton

Thank you so much for your review! We are so pleased that your son has settled in so well.

I have passed on your feedback to our Baby Room team members.

Review from L K (Mother of Child) published on 24 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been there since he was 9 months and the nursery was called Teddy Bears. We loved it there and we continue to do so.
The staff, the other kids and parents.
He is now leaving as he will start reception and he will miss nursery.
He bonded very well with all the kids and staff and seeing his joy while there was amazing.
I loved it's a sugar-free nursery and I've seen a lot of improvement since becoming a Kids Planet nursery.
The essence of the nursery hasn't changed, but there were improvements and investments there.

They are very open to conversations and to accommodate requests where possible.

My little girl absolutely loves Kids Planet Denton, we took her out to attend a new setting due to work change and put her back in Kids Planet due to the level of care they provide for the children, they go above and beyond for my little girl and I couldn't be any happier with the informative app, collections and reports we receive, it's outstanding!

Review from C L (Mother of Child) published on 16 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been going to this nursery since he was 8 months old and is now nearly 3 years old, we viewed lots of nurseries and the minute we walked into this one we knew it was the right choice for us. They are his second family and look after him so well and he's created such great bonds with all his nursery nurses. The chef makes the nutritional varied meals each day and they communicate via an app throughout the day. I genuinely believe they have been a massive part in growing the qualities and personality he has today. Thank you so much to everyone at Kids Planet Denton.

Review from Lana W (Mother of Child) published on 16 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has been attending this nursery since last September. I have nothing but praise for this nursery and all the staff that work there. They are all very caring and kind towards my child. When my child's reception teacher came to see my child in this setting he said he has been to many nurseries and this was one of the best he has been to. It's very clean and tidy and my child is always kept busy with lots of different activities including messy play and outdoor play. My child is very fussy with his food but the nursery have always been very accommodating with this. I would highly recommend to everyone wanting a loving and caring setting for their child!

Overall Experience

We love Kids Planet Denton. Our little girl has come on leaps and bounds with her speech and development since going there. Staff are always kind and friendly and so hard working. She comes home happy and tells us all about her day. They are brilliant if she ever needs tweaks to her day or care, they always take our wishes into account. She has great relationships with her key workers. They are so child-led and I love that the kids can get messy and have fun. We are so happy with this nursery!

The staff are really friendly and caring towards the children. My daughter loves going in each day. She has really progressed with her speech (2 years old) and other skills such as interacting with other children. I would highly recommend this nursery.
