Review from Sarah C (Mother of Child) published on 23 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I would recommend Kids Planet Patterdale Lodge to anyone who is looking for an exceptional nursery for their young ones.
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.

Review from L M (Grandmother of Child) published on 11 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Grandsons have attended this lovely nursery for the last 3 years. They have grown and flourished with the help of the amazing staff here who I have always found to be very helpful, approachable and friendly.
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

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 !!

Review from Anna F (Mother of Child) published on 1 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from S F (Mother of Child) published on 1 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Laura M (Mother of Child) published on 1 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child is 3 and currently attending the nursery, he started at 10 months old, my daughter attended for 3 years before him and staff still ask about her now, and chat to her when she comes to pick up her brother. The staff have always been really friendly and kind. Both my children have been well cared for and looked after there and I believe a big part of that development was down to this nursery.

A great nursery for your children to attend.

Review from Hannah C (Mother of Child) published on 21 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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

Overall Experience

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

Review from S B (Father of Child) published on 12 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
My son has attended Patterdale Lodge since he was a year old. After a rocky start with a childminder I was very anxious to leave him in a childcare setting but the staff have been wonderful.

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.

Review from R G (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

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.

Review from C D (Father of Child) published on 26 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending Patterdale Lodge Day Nursery since she was 6 months old, and I wanted to say how fantastic we have found it, we looked at other nurseries in the area, but from the moment we arrived at Patterdale and the warm welcome we received, we knew this would be the right place for our daughter, naturally we where very nervous but management helped to settle any worries we had and helped us check in on her frequently at the beginning, we've found the app with updates through the day great, and really help us feel as though we know about her entire day
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.

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.

Overall Experience

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.
