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.
Since my daughter has been at kids planet she has come on leaps and bounds. She also comes home speaking so highly of her classroom teachers in pre school. Callum, Jamie, Lauren and Ashleigh. The learning they do is amazing. Although Bella is only 3 she comes home speaking about what they have been learning. She runs in without looking back and is always happy when I go to collect her which shows how good she is being looked after here! Thanks guy!xxx
Thank you for your lovely feedback, We have shared this with the preschool team.
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.
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!
Two members of staff in particular are great. My daughter goes through phases of being teary going into nursery as she's really attached to me, I can leave knowing that she's in good hands and will be happy with a cuddle from either! It's her safe space away from home, she has fun, plays with friends, and her learning improves daily - it really is down to the girls in her room specifically! Her bond with both is really lovely and we are lucky they look after her so well. Thanks to them again!
My daughter enjoyed her sessions so much that she asked to go more times to see her new friends that she had made.
I can not thank the ladies enough for showing my daughter all the kindness and being so caring towards her.
Since my daughter has been coming to this nursery she's come on leaps and bounds with her words and speech and she's becoming more independent now, thank you all for all the support you have given my daughter, it's been a pleasure to work alongside you all as a parent and manager, also it's a warm welcome when arriving and leaving with lots of smiles and positivity.
I can't recommend this nursery highly enough! The staff are absolutely lovely, caring, attentive and always welcoming. They create such a positive and nurturing environment for the children. Additionally, the menu is well-balanced and thoughtfully planned, ensuring that all the kids get the nutrition they need. My son absolutely loves going there and always comes home with a big smile. It's clear that this nursery is dedicated to both the well-being and happiness of the children.
My daughter struggled during her settling-in days, and I was worried about how she would be on her first day... I shouldn't have been, the staff made her first day not so traumatic, and I think she ended up enjoying it. Can't thank the staff enough.
