Review from Rachel H (Mother of Child) published on 7 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started at Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Urmston when she was just 7 months old to allow me to start doing my keeping in touch days.
The team have been incredible, most notably the drop off staff, who has made every drop-off so easy and supported a smooth return to work for me as we have no family locally.
The effort the babies team puts into activities, as well as key days, is incredible, and to see how much my daughter has developed in 9 months with their support is so encouraging. Her love of activities, outdoors, food and independent personality would not be what it is without their help and encouragement.

I wholeheartedly recommend Kids Planet Urmston to any parent, we’re so glad we made the choice.

Overall Experience

I have two children that attend Kids Planet in Urmston and they both love attending this nursery. They have developed greatly during this time, having fun, learning new skills through play and they have developed great friendships with other children and staff. Their confidence and communication skills have improved. The staff are amazing, attentive, supportive, and friendly. They keep us informed through the parent app and I receive photos of their activities every day. They love taking part in all the activities from painting to messy play to baking. I can't fault the care provided, all the staff do a wonderful job.

Overall Experience

I was really cautious about sending my child to a nursery but when I booked a settle at Kids Planet Urmston the staff there were really kind and reassuring that she would be absolutely fine and they couldn't have been more right! I love going to pick her up and finding out about her day via feedback from staff and constant updates through iconnect! They cater for all children and parents and they are very kind, warm and welcoming I'd definitely recommend KP Urmston to anyone considering sending their child to nursery.

Review from Tina B (Mother of Child) published on 22 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Urmston's Kids Planet Nursery since November 2019. She started in the Babies room, then after the national lockdown due to Covid-19 moved to Tots, and most recently, has moved up to Toddlers. I'm really happy with the care and experience that she is having at nursery and have been since day one. She's always happy to be dropped off, and she does so many different things every day. She learns so much through being at nursery that I'm no longer surprised when she comes home doing something new.

Review from Christopher S (Father of Child) published on 19 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has recently completed her first 12 months at Kids Planet Urmston during which time, all aspects of her development have been improved. During her first nursery weeks, my daughter was having separation anxiety when attending, however, due to the staff, this has now been reduced making nursery drop off's much less stressful and emotional. Each day the staff provide regular updates on activities, meals and general moments which is really pleasing to see and has also greatly reduced my anxieties. The staff are always very helpful, responsive and friendly. There have been some great activities which my daughter has thoroughly enjoyed and this has also helped her development and social skills. I would recommend the nursery because of the friendly and warm attitudes, the flexibility and also responsiveness of the staff. I feel the nursery gives a real individual experience which is a great value.

Review from Emma H (Mother of Child) published on 16 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I would highly recommend Kids Planet Urmston. My son is thriving there and loves going to nursery. At 2 he can count to 30 unaided and can count backwards from 20, which I attribute to the girls in the toddler room, who have worked with my son so hard to get him smashing all his targets. The atmosphere is friendly and caring. He enjoys all the food he gets at nursery and has made many friends.

Thank you, Emma, what a lovely review. We will pass this on to the toddler team!

Review from Stacy W (Mother of Child) published on 13 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son attended Kids' Planet Urmston from the age of 2. He had significant social communication and sensory difficulties.
The staff at Kids Planet Urmston demonstrated that they have a highly inclusive environment which supported both my son and his family to understand his complex needs. Our son happily attended this nursery for 18 months. We received regular updates on his progress, and knowledgable staff assisted us in ensuring that our son received the specialist long term help he needs. More importantly, our son was meticulously cared for by staff who demonstrated a genuine interest in his development and a reassuringly nurturing approach.
As a family, we couldn't be happier with the care that our son received from Kids' Planet Urmston. I have recommended them to numerous friends who are currently pregnant.

My son now attends a special preschool, and we are grateful to all the staff at Kids'. Planet for their help and support. We miss you all very much.

Reply from Alisha Mcdowell, at Kids Planet Urmston

Thank you for your really kind words and amazing feedback. We miss him very much but hope he's getting up to all sorts of new adventures.

Review from Melissa L (Mother of Child) published on 11 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has been back at nursery (again) for the last few weeks, and she loves it! The staff always welcome her really nicely, and she seems to have lots of fun there when she goes. We were nervous when she started going again after a few months at home (as she is under 2 years old) during the first lockdown, but she settled back in quickly and adjusted well to being dropped off at the door rather than us taking her inside.
We get frequent updates regarding what she’s been up to (via the app), and these often include photos, which are lovely to see. Activities are varied and support learning.
It’s great knowing that she’s being well looked after and entertained.
The food provided is very varied and healthy, and our daughter often has seconds, so it must taste nice!
The outside play area is fantastic, and there is a sensory room where our daughter loves to spend time.

Staff are very accessible and friendly, and the opening hours (7.30-6) work very well for us.

Review from Jessica R (Mother of Child) published on 8 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I currently have two children at Kids Planet Urmston. I cannot recommend the nursery enough, it's amazing. I have a degree in Education and Early years, so I did a lot of research into local nurseries when looking for one to send my children to. Something I loved about this nursery, in particular, is the partnership with parents and the excellent communication between home and nursery. The nursery has an app where you can see your children, what they're up to during the day, what they have eaten, amazing activities they've done and thing's they have said and all of their observations are also on the app, so you can see how your child is progressing. The staff are amazing, they go above and beyond to meet the children's needs. The staff are extremely nurturing towards the children, and offer a learning environment where the children can feel happy, safe and secure. I believe the progression of my children is down to how kind, caring and patient the staff are. Five-star nursery!

The staff really make this place special. They have gone above and beyond to welcome our child into the nursery. Taking time to find out what their interests are and fitting those activities in to the day. The cooks have also been outstanding in helping with food issues.

Review from Samantha B (Mother of Child) published on 5 December 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has attended the nursery from ten months old and first started in the baby room. The settling in process was made so easy by the lovely, reassuring staff. I never felt rushed during the settling in sessions and from day one the staff went out of their way to create a special bond with my daughter. Within weeks she would smile and clap as we pulled up to nursery in the mornings! Leaving her as a baby was so much easier than I had expected.

Now she’s in the Tots room and it’s much of the same. Kind, reassuring but knowledgable staff. As a primary teacher myself, I’m keen to hear about how the staff adhere to the EYFS curriculum and the opportunities for my daughter to grow and learn, and they supply this info with enthusiasm. On the flip side, I’m equally concerned about my daughter’s happiness and safety whilst at nursery and I couldn’t be happier with both aspects. She loves her days at nursery and I’m so glad I chose a setting for her where she’s happy and able to thrive.

Review from Yunus L (Father of Child) published on 13 July 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
All the staff are fantastic and great at what they do - providing nursery care and early years learning. It comes across that they care and enjoy what they do. The children bond with the carers very quickly. I never worry about leaving my child there.
The indoors part of the nursery requires cosmetic modernisation, but this is due to it being an old building. In particular, the preschool location which is downstairs and accessed by a narrow steep staircase. The recently modernised outdoors section has plenty of variety and toys to keep children entertained. The children get to spend as much time as possible outside. The additional activities - Stretch n Grow and Active Sport has been well received. However, they are an optional extra. The staff always have time for the parent's questions.

Overall - the nursery has a family, friendly and happy family vibe.

My little girl made the transition from another Kids Planet Nursery this year and has settled so well, she has grown in confidence and the staff are amazing with her.

Each member of staff has been really welcoming which makes us really confident in the care that she receives.
