My son has been in nursery since 2023. He started off in the baby room and the staff were amazing with him. The staff were very supportive of this transition. Once he turned 2, he then moved into the toddler room. Since joining the toddler room his speech, confidence and intelligence has developed a huge amount. He runs into nursery and he has made many friends and even invited them to his birthday party. He is thriving in the toddler room and I enjoy getting sent lots of photographs and updates of what he is up to. He has been out shopping in the local community, took part in lots of creative projects and celebrated many awareness and charity days. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone. I have not had any issues with this nursery and they always call me to update if anything was to happen. For example: when he has fell over. I have seen the way the staff are with my son in the toddler room when they didn't know I was there and they are kind, considerate and genuinely care.
I was so nervous about putting my children into nursery for the first time, but the staff at Kids Planet have been absolutely amazing with both of them. They're thriving and developing so positively, and it's wonderful to see how happy they are. The regular updates through the app really put my mind at ease, and I honestly wouldn't want them to attend anywhere else now.
My child has attended kids planet Widnes for over a year .He loves going and has come on leaps and bounds since attending, the staff are always friendly and very helpful and problem has been dealt with straight away
All my thee children have been through kids planet Widnes and all have had amazing experiences. My youngest still in preschool and gets upset when she can't go in. All the staff are amazing and very supportive and approachable. I would highly recommend kids planet Widnes to anyone.
The nursery is great my daughter had been there since she was about 6/7 months- they have been great with her from the bay room up to rising threes her development is absolutely amazing! Couldn't be prouder of the team at the kids planet.
My son has been attending Kids Planet since he was 9 months old and has thrived in the environment. He has caring and supportive key workers and staff around him and loves to run into nursery in a morning! We have found the nursery to be supportive of his additional needs around allergies and were incredibly helpful with his physical development and helping him to stand and walk. The parents app is great for getting updates, development reports and photos. Would definitely recommend Kids Planet and look forward to more lovely years to come.
The staff are very welcoming and friendly and I love seeing him run in of a morning excited for the fun day ahead.
Thank you for your kind words about our nursery. Glad to hear that you are happy with our nursery
My two youngest children have been going to this nursery for over a year now and they have been nothing but amazing. I am a single mum of four studying for a nursing degree and I constantly have mum guilt spending so much time away from the kids but all the staff at the nursery have made me feel so at ease and comfortable leaving the boys there. I know they are cared for to the highest standard and the management and all staff in the boys rooms are so supportive. Couldn't recommend this nursery enough. My boys absolutely love it there and learn so much and are coming in leaps and bounds since starting there.
Thank you for your kind words about our nursery. Glad to see you are happy!
My little girl has been going kids planet for just over a year now and I can honestly say its the best nursery. Just seeing how far she has come since starting from her speech improvements to social skills. I couldn't fault them along with keeping me informed about her day and helping with her potty training . Now my 3 month old son gose there and he has always got big smiles for his teachers on drop off plus they always find the time to send me pictures on the app and keep me up to date on his nappy changes and feeds.
"It's taken my child some time to settle in, but thanks to the team's patience, care, and consistency, he now genuinely enjoys coming to nursery. The staff have been wonderfully supportive throughout, and I'm so pleased with the progress he's made and how comfortable he now feels."
My son has SEN needs, and this nursery has gone above and beyond to help and support him as well as me and his dad throughout every possible thing we've needed. All of the staff are amazing and so caring. It is so clear how much they care for every child in their care. I would and do recommend this setting to anyone and everyone.
My grandchildren have had a wonderful time at Kids Planet. All the staff are so caring and kind. The children have enjoyed all their food and making new friends. Thank you very much for making their stay very enjoyable.
We'll miss the staff's smiley faces every morning and the boys will miss them all so so much!
All staff have been amazing.
Staff are amazing.
Excellent staff, well cared for family-feel.
Both left happy and secure!
You reassure him and ensure the transition at drop off and pick up is smooth. This is so important to us. Thank you for your hard work!
Brilliant staff.
Brilliant nursey.
Am glad my child has loved everything second beginning here.
Staff in preschool have been absolutely fantastic. Nothing is too much and they always go above and beyond. My kids have grown and developed beyond measure and become little people, thanks to the time, dedication and care of everyone in preschool. They are so ready for big school thanks to everyone at Kids Planet. They are not only a huge support for the kids but for me as a parent. Always a phone call away when needed. Like family.
