Review from Laura S (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Overall Experience
My daughter attended Kids Planet Irlam for a few days in the holiday club. The staff were all amazing and very welcoming to myself and my daughter. I got amazing feedback from the ladies on the collection.
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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from R C (Mother of Child) published on 9 September 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Kids Planet was a great nursery but since the change in ownership, I would say the nursery has gone down with its performance, especially the admin side. Previously communications were taken seriously, with the coming of Kids Planet communication is not great. The manageress made a huge error in the days for my child was attending nursery, no apologies have been made and it has made me struggle so much.

Overall Experience

Really friendly staff and a very safe environment for the children. I receive regular updates about my son and the activities he has been involved in as well as meals, sleeping and general behaviour. The staff engage with the children and my son has developed massively by attending Kids Planet. Only good things to say.

We think the staff are caring and very good with our daughter she's come along so much since being at the nursery. She has learnt so much in little time.

This nursery is in immaculate condition and is a safe environment for my daughter.

Overall Experience

The staff are very welcoming and caring. My son started last month and though struggled to settle down he eventually started to get comfortable. Thank you, ladies, in the baby's room, you've been very patient with my baby. I like that they update you with baby activities and meals in the parent app all day. Cute pictures and all.

Review from Danielle M (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We enrolled our child when it was under different ownership when she was 7 months old. The staff have always had a wonderful bond with her, it’s very obvious they care deeply about her. The whole team has always been exceptional. Our daughter has thrived at the nursery and we especially like the 6 weekly progress updates and parents' evening.
The ownership changed in January 2024 to Kids Planet and the transition has not been handled well. Within the first month, we were notified that our fees would be increasing by over 33%, with 6 weeks notice before effect. This is an unbelievable increase. The KP team is extremely difficult to get hold of, doesn’t return calls, and in most cases unhelpful. We have not even met the new Nursery Manager.

The old management and wider team were always fantastic and would have received a 5 in all areas if the ownership hadn’t changed. It would be unfair on the staff team to give below a 4 but the new owners are really letting the nursery down.

Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery, staff are always very welcoming as we come in. My son loves it and will go to the staff happily which makes me feel at ease when I drop him off as I know he is in safe hands. Great environment and has great staff! He has come on so much since starting this nursery, is more vocal and can point things out and recognise objects and body parts all thanks to this nursery. Would highly recommend it to family and friends.

Overall Experience
My little girl started in June 2023 and the staff who work there have really cared for her in every room she has been in.
The progress my little girl has made with her vocabulary is amazing and it’s down to how much time and care the staff put into the children.

I recommend this nursery to anyone I know who is looking.

All 3 of my children have attended and I wouldn’t send them anywhere else. The baby room is amazing and my son has come on so much since starting last year. Staff are lovely. The holiday club is also really good for older children.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending this nursery for nearly two years now, and she loves the place and the staff in there. The girls/ladies are very attentive, kind, and polite. Always smiley and ready to help. She loves being around them. It's a great comfort to know that my child is well looked after while I am at work.

My child has started nursery this year and I have been so happy with my choice of Kids Planet. The induction was great and I’ve felt reassured by the staff they are caring and supportive and I couldn’t have asked for more.

Review from Sarah W (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has enjoyed every second of nursery since joining when he was 15 months old. He is now getting ready to leave and move on to nursery school.
The nursery has really helped him with his learning and development, with him being moved up numerous times to help support this. He has made really strong friendships and bonds with both children and staff and talks about them all the time.

I particularly enjoy reading through his six week intent and how he has been advancing and what he has been learning and focusing on.

Review from J D (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff at the nursery are fantastic. My child is in the baby room and has been going here since October 2023 and every day at drop off she is happy! We are updated regularly, I know my child is cared for and well taken care of.
The nursery itself has great indoor and outdoor areas. welcoming, clean and like a home from home.
They have special theme weeks for things like Christmas and Easter which is fun for the little ones (and us).

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a nursery for their child.

Review from M P (Mother of Child) published on 14 November 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child has started at Fledglings Irlam in August. I don't normally leave reviews but I really wanted to let other parents to know that this nursery has been fab with my little girl.

She has her own little key person who does observations and tracking her development and we've just attended her first little parents evening - how cute! I was a nervous wreck when she started but the staff and managers really supported me and I trust them completely to care for my baby when I have to work!

So thank you Fledglings Irlam from one happy mummy!

Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic nursery. Both of my girls have attended and all I can say is wow! The passion, love and enthusiasm the staff have towards the children is unreal.

This is definitely a nursery you want your children to attend, it is like home from home and my girls love it. The staff are longstanding, with lots of experience and love for the job.
