Review from Amina H (Mother of Child) published on 2 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Kids Planet Christie Fields is a fantastic nursery, and I've had both of my children attend there. The staff are incredibly kind, caring, and supportive, creating a warm and welcoming environment for children to learn and grow. I've always felt confident knowing my children were happy and well looked after. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

Review from M H (Mother of Child) published on 27 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been sending my child there since he was 11 months old & I couldn't be happier with the care provided (he is almost 3 now) The staff are attentive, caring & have really know my child! My child always comes home telling me about his day & what he got upto with his teachers which is lovely to hear.

The management team are great & ensure

the nursery runs smoothly, which is clearly reflected in both the staff's practice & the excellent provision throughout the nursery.

Every time I drop off or collect my child, the children are always engaged in activities & most importantly, happy! I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

Review from Z A (Father of Child) published on 28 April 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have found this nursery to be very helpful and understanding. My child has progressed from the baby room to toddler room with a significant improvement of all skills, which is simply down to the highly skilled staff. I wouldn't hesitate to admit future children here and would highly recommend it to all family and friends. Keep up the hard work!

Overall Experience

We have had a very good experience and have seen how much care and time is given to each child. We have seen the development in Zoraiz all down to the efforts of nursery staff. I would recommend this nursery to friends and family. I would describe the nursery as excellent, hardworking, caring, friendly with excellent communication.

Review from Aby A (Father of Child) published on 7 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Choosing Kids Planet was the best decision we made for our child. The balance between structured learning and free play is perfect. I've been so impressed with the variety of activities, from arts and crafts to outdoor play in their great outdoor space.

Safety and hygiene are clearly a top priority, which gave us immediate confidence. The management team is very professional and approachable, always happy to answer questions or address any concerns. If you're looking for a nursery that feels like a home away from home, this is it.

Overall Experience

My son joined this nursery in January and he really loves it. The staff have been amazing, he has settled really well and get excited at drop off when he sees all his friends. They do lots of activities. He has come in lots since starting, now being able to use a spoon and fork independently. The nursery do lots of fun seasonal activities and the food is great. Highly recommend.

Review from Danette W (Mother of Child) published on 12 May 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Fantastic, the staff are all amazing. My child did not settle at all when she first started, but all the staff were amazing with her, measured me she would settle and updated me with her progress. Within a month, she was comfortable and settled and she now loves nursery, she even speaks about staff & nursery friends at home! I would recommend this nursery to anyone. No words can describe how amazing they all are. P.S. My daughter is now speaking, eating & learning so much better than before. Huge thank you.

Overall Experience

Kids Planet have been fantastic for the last two years my little boy has attended. The staff in each room at Christie Fields (Manchester) have been so kind and caring. They always have educational and fun activities for my little boy to do. The outdoor area is big and he enjoys playing outside. Communication is brilliant and I would recommend the nursery to any parents. Staff are brilliant and so lovely, I've always felt happy & my little boy is in safe hands.

We love the nursery! Two particular staff members and the Waddler Team are amazing. Our son wakes up so excited on his days and is very happy. He comes home with so many new songs and new great habits, it's great to see how quickly he has developed since being here.
