The staff are amazing to the little ones regarding learning, safeguarding, looking after them like their own, welcoming, loyal, caring and compassionate but above all, each and every member of staff always gives service with a smile and makes our little ones happy.
My child has really come leaps and bounds, with confidence showing his personality and sense of humour even at such a young age. He is growing into a very strong and intelligent little boy because of the staff who work with him. I can't Thank them enough and really appreciate the work, time, effort and everything they do in between.
Thank you Sarah, your review means a lot to us xxx
The atmosphere on entering the nursery is always calm and inviting with music playing and refreshments available if required. The range of toys, activities and even visits to places in the local community are excellent and geared to promote learning.
The staff genuinely care for the children and it is always a pleasure to go there to collect my Grandsons. I will miss it when they leave to start school in September. Thank you Patterdale Lodge x
Thank you so much for your lovely review, it means a lot to us x
This nursery has always been amazing with us as parents and our little one. They keep us up to date with everything he has done that day and always want to help in any way, alongside our wishes. He has been in 3 different rooms up to now, and all have been equally fab !! The nursery manager is always more than happy to help with anything when needed. Couldn't recommend this nursery enough !!
Thank you for your lovely review Emma, it means a lot to us x
I have 2 children at Patterdale. My eldest is in the pre school room now and started 14 months ago. My youngest is in babies and started this September. I cannot fault the nursery at all. The staff are fantastic with both my children, they are very transparent and provide me with regular updates on both children's journeys. The facility is lovely, they have activities each day and do incorporate education through play. They also have a mini bus and take the children on outings. The cook is brilliant in catering for my eldest's allergies too.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, it means a lot to us x
My son has been attending this nursery over a year now and with the help of staff he's overcome leaps and bounds and has totally come out of his shell into a chatty, cheeky little boy. The staff go above and beyond for not just my son but for every child and parent there. Nothing is too much for them! The facilities are clean and safe. They constantly have different activities that help engage the children in using their hand-eye coordination and gross motor skills. I cannot recommend Kids Planet Patterdale lodge enough.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, it means a lot to us x
A great nursery for your children to attend.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, it means a lot to us x
Amazing nursery, my son has come along so much since starting at 9 months the staff are absolutely amazing, always have something fun going on during the day, lots of fun activities throughout the month.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, it means a lot to us x
My little boy has been attending since he was 12 months old and the staff have been amazing with each transition to every room. My little boy can be quite shy with new people but has bond so well with the girls.
They are brilliant and updating me through the day with his activities and how his day has been. They are so supportive with his development and I couldn't ask for a better nursery to send him to x
Thank you so much Hannah for your lovely review. It means a lot to us x
My son has been going to Patterdale since he was 9 months old he is now over 3 years. He absolutely adores the ladies that work there especially the cook haha the staff are lovely and any query I have ever had has been easily resolved. He has made little friends and is thriving. The range of activities and outdoor play is great he loves being outdoors and luckily they get to spend plenty of time in the garden or out on walks in the community. Highly recommend
Thank you Charlotte for your lovely review, it means a lot to us x
I would highly recommend Patterdale Lodge Nursery. My son has made fantastic progress in all areas of his development at Patterdale. The knowledgable and experienced staff are great with my son and he always enjoys coming into nursery. My son is now in the tots room and quickly built a strong and positive relationship with his key worker. He always puts his arms out to her in the morning and is always greeted with a big smile. We couldn't be happier with the outstanding service the team provide at Patterdale Lodge and the warm home from home environment ethos. I receive regular photographs of what my son gets up to in the week. The management are approachable, efficient and are always happy to help with any queries. If you're looking for a nursery that will care for your child as their own, Patterdale Lodge is the one! We look forward to watching our little one continue to develop as he continues his early education journey at Patterdale.
Thank you so much, your review means a lot to us x
Fantastic nursery! The staff genuinely care and the communication is brilliant. I have one child leaving for school this year that has enjoyed this nursery from 9 months old, and another one just starting his journey! 5 *****!
Thank you Amy for your lovely review, it means a lot to us x
Nursery was absolutely the right setting for him & we couldn't have picked better than Patterdale Lodge and we will miss the staff dearly when he starts primary school.
Thank you Robynne for your kinds words, it means a lot to us x
100% recommend Patterdale Lodge Nursery. Our son started in the baby room when he was 9 months old. The room is lovely and small and only holds up to 6 babies so you feel they get a lot of much needed attention and things don't go missed. The nursery has recently had a refurb and looks lovely. Our soon has health conditions but the manager and room leader have been so attentive with putting care plan in place and relieving us of any anxieties we had around him going to nursery. We get regular updates on the app and any questions are answered in a timely manner. Our son took a couple of weeks to settle in like any baby but he now goes in smiling with his arms out to the staff and clearly loves his time there. We really appreciate, trust, and know our son is safe and happy when he is at nursery which is all you could want.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, it means a lot to us. x
My son as been attending since he was 6 months old, and will be leaving to start school in the summer. The staff are brilliant with the children, and the activities they plan are brilliant with the child's interest at the heart of everything. I feel my child is now ready for school and cant thank the girls enough for their continued help and support.
Thank you for your lovely review it means a lot to us x
She seems to be really enjoying nursery and we can really tell her development is coming along.
The staff at handover are very informative and tell us anything we need to know.
Overall so far we are very happy with the service we are receiving.
Thank you for your lovely review, it means a lot to us x
I highly recommend this nursery, my daughter attends twice a week and I've never had any problems. My daughter talks about everyone in her class and I love seeing pictures of her on the app daily so I can see how she is getting on while I'm working. The staff are all friendly and groups are good sizes, very personal touch. I'm informed regularly of how she is getting on. I've always been happy with the service offered. Thank you all.
Thank you for your lovely review. It means a lot to us x
My daughter loves coming here, we are always greeted with a smile at the door! It's such a fab little nursery. Staff are on hand to help or answer any questions you may have. It's very clean and the home-cooked food smells amazing every day!
Thank you for your lovely review, it means a lot to us x
All the staff at Patterdale Lodge are excellent, really helpful and give loads of information about how our little girl has been doing. She loves going to preschool every day and we've never had problems dropping her off there.
Thank you for your lovely review. It means a lot to us x
Excellent nursery, both my 5 year old and 3 year old have gone here since being in the teenies room and my 5 year old loves seeing staff when we pick her brother up now she has left. The nursery has everything you could want for your child but the USP is absolutely the amazing staff, they care for your children like their own and build up such amazing bonds with them from manager Nic to room staff. Both of my children's development sky rocketed since they joined Patterdale Lodge and its their happy place to go home from home, we can not ask for more.
Thank you so much for your lovely review it means a lot to us x

Meet the Team (1)
I have been at the Nursery Manager here at Patterdale Lodge since 2022, after working as Deputy Manager at our sister Nursery Canal House and Room Leader at our sister Nursery Linden House.
I have a little girl who is nearly 4 years old who has been with me in Nursery since she was 6 months old. It has been lovely to watch her thrive alongside my long-standing team members, who are like family to us.
I have a level 3 in Childcare, and I'm also the Designated Safeguarding Lead, which I am passionate about, to keep all our little ones safe and secure.
I have focused on developing my skills as a Manager and completing all the different training to support all staff, children and families.
I have been in childcare for over 15 years now. It was always something I wanted to do, and I'm so proud to manage such a fantastic nursery.
