Cannot recommended this nursery enough. The care and love that goes into each child is amazing. My son and myself have had an amazing 3 and a half years here and I'm so sad that our nursery journey is coming to the end. Beautiful environment and even more amazing staff. Thankyou
Thank you for the lovely review, we wish you all the luck ready for his next journey.
All the staff at Kids Planet IRLAM are exceptional. They go above and beyond. My daughter absolutely loves going, and we will all be so sad when she leaves. All her teachers in the preschool class are amazing. Very warm and welcoming. We as parents feel super comfortable knowing our daughter is being well looked after.
My son developed skills and knowledge and became a confident little man that is ready to start school in September. My son has been with nursery since he was 9 months old and the care and dedication of the staff I can't fault it.
Thank you for your lovely words. we wish you all the luck on his next adventure!
I cannot thank the team at Irlam enough, for all they have done for my little one. Making him want to attend nursery. It has been wonderful watching him grow and develop all area's of his learning. All staff go above and beyond and my little one thinks the world of Callum. I won't miss the 4am wake up on nursery day!
This is lovely to read Helen - We will miss -child- and we have loved having you a part of our nursery family.
Leaving your baby behind for the first time in someone else's care is one of the most daunting things, but your staff made this feel such an easy transition for me to return to work and looked after him so well. He's built some really special relationships with the staff throughout his time there. A huge thank you for everything and I would highly recommend Kids Planet irlam to anyone seeking out a nursery place!
oh Abigail this is such a lovely read!! We will miss -child- and your family, he will have to still join us for any udeskole stay and plays!
Our child has had a very positive experience at this nursery. The staff create a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment where children feel safe, happy, and encouraged to learn. We have seen great progress in our child's confidence, communication, and social skills since attending. The activities are varied, engaging, and help support development through both play and structured learning. Communication with parents is clear and regular, keeping us informed about our child's progress and daily experiences. The nursery is well organised, and it is clear that the children's wellbeing and development are a priority. We are very pleased with the care and support provided and would happily recommend this nursery to other families.
Thank you for your lovely words and its nice to hear how happy you are as parents.
As a parent, it means everything to be able to go to work knowing he is in such safe and loving hands. The staff always go the extra mile, not only for him but for me as well, and that reassurance is priceless. He is such a happy little boy, and the team truly feel like a second family to both of us while he's there.
Something I really appreciate is how supported and valued they make us feel as a family. At the same time, whenever I see or overhear them speaking with other parents, it's obvious that every family receives the same kindness and care in their own unique way.
Everything the staff do for the children never goes unnoticed! thankyou all so much!
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! We love having you as part of our nursery family!
Especially Gemma the deputy manager & Danielle the baby room lead.
My son, Parker Dyson started in the baby room at 9 months old and there were some expected teething issues in regards to his routine and both Gemma & Danielle resolved these issues quickly and effectively and were absolutely lovely throughout the process, both easing my mind as well as first and foremost putting Parker first.
Day to day, the ladies in the baby room are exceptional and you can see this is due to the support Danielle provides to the women and the culture Gemma has created.
I just wanted to say a Massive Thank you to Kids Planet Irlam with the special mentions as above.
My son has been for his settles this week, I was a nervous wreck as I wasn't sure what to expect with this being new to me and my son.
I cannot thank the girls in Baby room enough for their support. They put my mind at ease straight away and made me feel very reassured. My son's needs were met from his first settle, and I can tell he is already creating bonds with the girls who are in there.
Management are great and very supportive. They answered all the questions I had throughly, nothing was ever too much for them.
Could not recommend this nursery enough to anyone, both staff and management are great and very welcoming. I cannot wait to watch my little boy develop, so glad I made the choice to send him here.Thank you!
Thank you so much for your lovely comments and we are so happy you had such a positive first settle.
My child has throughully enjoyed it in before and after school club, he enjoys the different activities they do in there and when it's a hot tea! He enjoys playing in the garden, making slime, and clay modelling! Thankyou to all the staff!
All the staff at Kids Planet have been the most helpful, kind and supportive people. They've treated my child with great care and compassion and have provided an excellent start in my child's development. Thank you all for being amazing. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the lovely words. We wish you lots of luck for her next adventure!
We are incredibly grateful for our time at Kids Planet! The love, care, and support my daughter received helped her grow into a confident and happy little learner. As she prepares to move on to a big school, we will always cherish the wonderful start she had here. Thank you to all the amazing staff - you will be missed! We wish you all the best xx
Thank you for your lovely words, we wish you and your family all the luck in the world for the next adventure.
The managers in the office are very welcoming and are always happy to help in anyway they can I am so please I have found an amazing nursery for my son.
All in all thank you to all the staff that work here because you are all amazing and I am so proud of how well my son has settled and how well his development has progressed
There are always plenty of activities to keep the children engaged, and I love how they encourage creativity, learning, and social skills. It's such a warm and welcoming environment, and I have peace of mind knowing my daughter is in such good hands!
She loves coming through the door and is excited to get in. She is in the tots room.
She loves all the girls that work there but she especially loves one staff member who is amazing with her.
The food that is offered is great and she seems to love this as it's mainly always marked with "all and extra". I was nervous going back to work but seeing how much she loves it because of what you all make it has made it a lot easier.
My daughter has loved going to this nursery since day one. The staff are fab and she has been able to build great bonds with them and other children. You can tell the staff really do care and they really do go above and beyond to make sure the children are happy. As soon as i was shown round i felt it was the right place for my child. She is able to try a variety of healthy foods and I love that they do lots of crafts there.
My son goes to your nursery in irlam and he's just moved rooms I wasn't sure how he would handle a different room but the staff kept me updated on the app and it really put me at ease. I could not be more greatful for all the staff they are amazing! I appreciate all the staff that care for my son, also I think no matter who looks after him the cook will be his favourite person for the fruit platter at the end of the day haha. Big thankyou to my sons main teachers.
Any questions iv had iv been reasured straight away.
I feel at ease when she is there with them and I love to see the updates on the app (I just wish there was more and more pictures and videos).
Is great they do so many different events and activities with them.
The room leader is absolutely fantastic and it's clear she loves her role and is well suited for it. Both the room staff and the children thrive under her. I was so pleased when she took over the senco role for the nursery, she will be fantastic for this position.
A particular lady is a fantastic team member and really is a credit to the nursery. She goes above and beyond for the children and always has their best interests at heart. Even just mentioning her name at home makes my son beam from ear to ear! Nothing is ever too much for her, and she'll always happily help with any query I have, or put my mind at ease whenever I call.
With help from both the room leader and that particular lady, my son has made massive improvements with his speech over the last few months, and I honestly believe the improvements he has made wouldn't have been possible without them! Thank you, both of you!
