Review from M H (Father of Child) published on 9 May 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Really good experience at nursery with my daughter moving into Toddler 1. She has settled really well with two members of staff in particular and formed really strong bonds. She is developing really well and we couldn't be happier with how things are going.

Overall Experience
I couldn't be happier with the team in Toddler 1 and the whole Christie Fields team in general. My little one has been so well cared for since the very first time we set foot in the building. I've never had cause to complain and have never doubted my decision to bring him here.

Thank you all for the many hugs and cuddles for my little man! You're absolute stars!!

Review from J C (Mother of Child) published on 2 May 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Our boys love nursery - they each have the most incredible bond with their keyworker, and that's a real testament to the effort these members of staff have put in to making the boys feel at ease and relaxed in their settings.

We have had our challenges in navigating the childcare rules, regulations & restrictions. However, the openness & availability of the senior management team have been an incredible support in making difficult events more manageable. The changes in management & leadership over the last year have been only for the better & I would recommend a chat with the managers where any concerns arise.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so pleased your boys feel at home with us, and it's great to hear the team's support has made a real difference to your experience.

Rising 3's - Can't fault the staff they seem to genuinely adore the children.
Room big & spacious with lovely terrace.

Only potential improvement would be more options at breakfast ie toast, porride like in Woddlers

Reply from Kids Planet Team, at Kids Planet Christie Fields

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so glad you're happy with the care and environment-your suggestion on breakfast options is really helpful and will be passed on to the team.

Overall Experience

Kids Planet Christie Fields is such a warm, welcoming nursery with a real family feel. The staff are incredibly caring and genuinely support each child, encouraging them to explore new opportunities and grow with confidence.

Every day is packed with fun, engaging, and educational activities that keep the children excited and curious. One of the things I love most is how often they take the children on local trips - it really helps spark their sense of wonder about the world around them.

You can truly see how well looked after and happy the children are. It's a special place and wouldn't send my children anywhere else.

Review from Qasim A (Father of Child) published on 25 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of my daughters have been here for nearly a year now and I can honestly say our experience has been amazing. The girls have been in a total of five rooms now since being here. The development, level of care and attitude of the staff in every one of those rooms has been exemplary. The staff show a level of care and interest in the kids and treat all of them like individuals. For example one of my daughters can be a fussy eater. Whenever she refuses lunch she is always offered an alternative (like a cheese sandwich) which they know she will happily eat and stay satiated. A few times during room transitions when the girls have been a little unsettled at drop off time, the staff will keep us updated throughout the day and send pictures on the app of the girls once settled and having a good time which immediately puts us at ease.

Review from T S (Mother of Child) published on 28 November 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Really caring and thoughtful staff. Excellent support from SENCO. My son was physically weak at climbing and crawling when he started nursery, and with all the work the staff have put in he is at the same level as all his peers. He loves the food and is really close with the staff who are really attentive and update me every day when I come to collect him with how his day went.

Review from Ciaran B (Father of Child) published on 11 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been very impressed by the standard of care that Kids Planet have shown both of my daughters (one has graduated and one is currently at Kids Planet). At each stage of their development they are taught relevant topics and feedback is given to the parents through the app so that it is very easy to see how my daughter is developing during her time there. The facilities are top class and the range of tours/visits that the children are taken on during the year is very impressive. I am very thankful to the staff and management at Kids Planet for the care and attention they show every day.

Review from Sarah S (Mother of Child) published on 29 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending this nursery since he was one and I have never regretted my decision to choose Christie Fields. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly, and genuinely care about his health, wellbeing and development. He loves going there and has made some really great friends. I love being kept up to date via the app too - it makes my day to receive pictures of him having fun with his friends. I'll be sad when he has to leave to go to school, but I'll know his experience at Christie Fields has set him up to thrive.
