Kids Planet is fantastic. My child loves coming to nursery and is always excited to see the aunties. I'm always well informed and I appreciate the level of detail the staff go into with photos, etc.

Review from M D (Mother of Child) published on 16 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I am extremely pleased with the care my son receives at Kids Planet Woodlands. The staff's dedication to the children's development is outstanding. In just six months my son has made incredible progress in his social, cognitive, and emotional skills. The daycare provides a safe, nurturing environment that encourages learning and exploration. The staff are kind, supportive and always willing to help, including organising extra activities for parents, which I find incredibly valuable. I highly recommend Kids Planet Woodlands to any parent looking for a pace where their child will thrive and feel cared for.

Review from Linzie W (Mother of Child) published on 30 September 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our daughter attends the nursery and we can't fault the staff or the care given. Our daughter who is 2 years old started at the age of 7 weeks and enjoys going to nursery daily. She always takes part in many daily activities which are available to view on the app. The only issue is the rules the school have implemented regarding access to the car park.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending since he was 12 months old now 3.5 years old and still loves to go each afternoon. Being a first-time mum I had lots of worries, these were quick to disappear and never returned. I can't recommend this nursery enough. For my son, it's a home-from-home.

Review from Z L (Mother of Child) published on 23 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son is 7 and attending to the afternoon school club in Woodlands since year 1.
He loves going there, they're offering a range of activities for the kids. The meals are good as well, he never complains. The staff are very nice and friendly, they're always smiling. They always inform me about his day at pick up.

I recommend them 100%. I have peace of mind with them.

The staff are always polite and friendly when picking up and they always check that I am who I say I am via a password. My Nephew always seems happy when he comes out to me and tells me about his day at nursery.

Review from Katie C (Mother of Child) published on 18 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
All the staff in the after-school club are amazing! They make my son feel welcome and safe and educate life skills he will need growing up.
The manager is absolutely fabulous and always goes above and beyond in the care of our son and all the children but also supports us as parents when we are struggling.
My son has been coming since he started in reception.

Now in year three, and still loves it like he did when he first started.

Review from Anne M (Grandmother of Child) published on 5 September 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My granddaughter is 5 and has attended during the school holidays. She looks forward to going daily which is unusual for her, if she didn't like it she would not be keen. We received a weekly itinerary of the activities daily and these are varied, with a nice selection of different subjects and fun days. The staff are very welcoming and professional and a good connection between staff and children is clearly observed. Lots of new friendships have been made too. Meals are provided by the club which appear to be healthy options too, a nice varied diet. I would definitely recommend Woodlands Holiday Club if you want your child to be stimulated in the long weeks.

Overall Experience
The best nursery, the staff are amazing, and my daughter loves going to the nursery daily, she's come on so much and the management and staff here are so supportive and helpful. My son attended the nursery a few years back before starting school also and loved it I would never have sent my daughter anywhere else!

100% recommend Kids Planet Woodland!

The nursery have been really accommodating with my maternity and looking for a new job coinciding with my baby joining the nursery, along with my eldest daughter moving from nursery to school and preparing her for that change. The staff are also so lovely and friendly.
