Review from Melody W (Mother of Child) published on 11 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started at Kids planet in Middleton when he was a little over 2.5, having never been in a nursery setting before. I can't praise the staff enough for settling him so well (and easing my apprehension too!). His development in the few months he's been there is already apparent, and he truly enjoys going to nursery. The staff are warm, kind, and engaging for the little ones - I can't say enough positive things. We also really enjoy all of the little extra touches that the nursery provide, such as parties at special times of the year - Halloween, Christmas etc. I'm really glad we picked kids planet, and look forward to seeing my son's continued progression throughout his time there. A big thank you to all of the lovely staff for everything you do, it doesn't go unnoticed!

Overall Experience

We are so happy with the placement for our daughter. All of the staff are incredibly friendly, caring, and patient, and it's clear they genuinely care about the children.

We love the frequent updates and photos on the app, as it's wonderful to see the wide variety of activities the children take part in and the different toys they get to enjoy.

A special mention to Shamny, the manager, who is amazing and always so helpful and supportive. We couldn't be happier with our experience so far!

Overall Experience

I cannot recommend Kids Planet highly enough! My twin boys have been going here for six months. They initially found it really hard to settle, but the team-especially Shammy and Anna-were unbelievably patient, kind, and supportive. Thanks to their amazing care, our boys now go into nursery happy and smiling every single day. It's such a relief as a parent to know they are in such safe, loving hands.

Review from Waddaa T (Father of Child) published on 9 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has been at Kids Planet School House for two years now, and we could not be happier with how she has grown there.
The staff are genuinely warm. They have helped build her confidence and find her voice, and the progress in how she communicates has been clear to see at home too.
We have also been struck by how carefully the team thinks about each child, and the key worker arrangements reflect that. A particular thank you to Merrish, who has been attentive and supportive.
A special mention to Shammy, who encouraged our daughter through her first swimming lessons. That bit of encouragement made a real difference.
The setting itself is clean and well run, and communication with parents is regular and easy. We always know how her day has been.

We would recommend this nursery very highly!

Review from Vania L (Mother of Child) published on 29 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started at this nursery when she was under four months old, and she is now two years old. She absolutely loves attending. Although she only goes two full days a week, every time we drive nearby, she asks to see her friends, which really shows how happy she is there.

The staff genuinely care about the children and consistently go the extra mile to ensure they feel safe, supported, and happy. I particularly appreciate how they take the time to explain the different childcare support options available and what might benefit families, while always respecting that the final decision is ours.

I am very grateful for the team and fully trust them with my daughter. She has developed so well during her time there and at her two-year health visitor assessment, she was above average in her development.

Thank you to all the staff for your care and dedication.

Overall Experience
Our son started here at just 4 months old and we've honestly had such a lovely experience. All the staff have been so caring and really attentive.
It's clear how much effort the team puts into the kids.
We also love the daily updates on the app about meals, playtime, etc.-it really gives peace of mind and helps you feel involved in their day.

Couldn't ask for a better place for him.

Review from Daniel R (Father of Child) published on 26 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son started at 9.5 months old. The settling in process was invaluable not least for his mum easing into passing him over to someone else. Anna and Shammy in particular were amazing helping getting him settled, we have no issues at handover.
It has now been 6 months since he started and I cannot complain at all. Our little boy enjoys going to nursery every day, he smiles when he sees the staff and walks in on his own in a morning. He's developing rapidly and enjoying the different activities that the nursery put on for him. He enjoys the variety of food/snacks provided and is doing very well eating at home.

If we have another child I will not hesitate to put them in at the School House and would recommend it to anyone.

My baby has settled into this nursery very well. The staff are friendly, informative and go above and beyond in their job role. Within the first week I can see my baby has developed new skills and is happy and content.

Review from K W (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery. Every member of staff goes above and beyond to make the children feel safe and happy. My daughter found it difficult to start nursery at the age of 2 and a half but with time and plenty of care from all staff, she now loves going to nursery. As a fussy eater, her food preferences are very limited, however, her teachers know her likes and dislikes and ensure that she always has a meal that she likes. My son will be starting there in a few months, wouldn't send him anywhere else.

Overall Experience

The team at Fisherfield Middleton are absolutely fantastic. I have two boys and both have been well looked after in their care. It has a real family feel and I've always felt so comfortable leaving my children in their capable hands. Both of my children started nursery at 9 months old, which is quite young, and as a mother going back to work this can be a really daunting prospect. The team were always great in these circumstances, keeping me in the loop all the time. I've recommended this nursery to multiple friends and family and will continue to do so. My youngest is still in attendance and runs into nursery everyday with a big smile on his face which says it all!

Reply from Team Fisherfield, Middleton at Kids Planet School House

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It really means a lot to hear that both of your boys have felt so at home with us at The School House. We understand how big a step it is leaving little ones, especially at such a young age, and we're so pleased we've been able to make that transition a...

Overall Experience

A home from home. I was initially reluctant to leave my child in a nursery but after visiting several, Fisherfield, Middleton stood out as the place I would be happy leaving my child. Staff are genuine and caring, showing awareness of every child's needs and development. My child has strong bonds with several staff, who clearly create a safe, loving environment for him to grow and learn away from home. I struggle to leave my son in childcare but know he is happy here. They are all outstanding and I could not ask for more from them. My son loves it here and that makes for happy parents.

Overall Experience

Our first and only daughter started at this nursery over 2 years ago. It's such a scary time for any parent putting your child in a nursery for the first time. We had been to several in the area, but none like this. It ticks all the boxes for us. Firstly it's always immaculate, along with this the rooms are large and it isn't overpopulated. It might sound daft but the lighting is great as well. My daughter absolutely loves going and loves the nursery workers. The new play area at the back is great and the food they serve is homemade and super healthy. I've referred several family members who all go and are also over the moon.
