Kids Planet is the best nursery, my son has loved all his years being here and the staff have been amazing. Thank you for everything, he will miss you all.

I have nothing but good things to say, preschool has been a massive help with my son. The staff have been fab, he's very sad to leave.

We are always welcomed with a smile and I am kept updated about my son's day. There are lots of interesting learning activities and experiences for the children and lots of lovely meals to try. I would highly recommend Kids Planet.
Couldn't ask for more from a nursery. The staff have all been amazing and have bought my son out of his shell. He has learnt so much and has made so many friends. They have also always catered for his dietary needs. Thank you all so much!

I can not fault the staff, always warm and welcoming. It's also so good to see familiar faces after 12 years of last having a child here. Any problems and issues you have are resolved with no trouble at all. There is plenty of different activities to bring on our child's development.

Thank you so much for all the love, care and learning you have given my daughter. She has absolutely enjoyed every minute of nursery and preschool. All of the fun, cool activities but mostly the people. Shout out to all the staff but mostly my daughter's second Mummy/fairy godmother! You've given her the best start and I'm sure she's going to smash big school. Truly, thank you for everything. We'll miss you lots, she has memories to treasure forever.
Love everything about preschool. All staff are lovely and approachable. Kids are always happy and smiling. My child wanted to be there all day, every day.

We have always had a brilliant experience with Kids Planet Widnes, the staff could not be more friendly and helpful. Both my girls love this nursery, it's like a second family to us. Keep up the good work.

Both my children enjoy coming to nursery. Since moving into preschool, my little girl has been so happy. She comes home and talks to me about all of the activities she has done and she tells me about all of her lovely teachers and friends. I have really seen my little girl's confidence develop over the last few months. All of the staff give my little girl lots of care and attention, and I feel that she is in safe hands. Thank you for everything you do for both my little girls - it is much appreciated.

I can not fault the nursery at all. My child has attended here since she was 10 months old and starts school this year. They have given her so much love and happiness over the last 5 years that I'm forever grateful. She's the person she is today because of the staff. They go above and beyond and have enabled her to enjoy learning, make new friends and for life and develop life skills so she's ready for her next chapter. Love the nursery and everyone that's in it.
The staff here are lovely, very accommodating. Our little one is always looked after very well. She gets good meals throughout the day and we are updated regularly via the app. Convenient location and facilities are more than adequate. Would recommend.

There is always so much for my children to do and they have come on so much since being with Kids Planet.

The staff have all been great since day one and it's evident when our son shows clear affection for them.
The most important thing for us other than safety obviously is the development and it's absolutely clear he has been given ample opportunity through games, activities and socialising to develop. He has come on leaps and bounds since joining the nursery and I'd highly recommend this place.
Couldn't comment on value for money as we've not compared with anywhere else but assuming costs are similar elsewhere then, of course, it's good - albeit I'm sure all parents would want a little cheaper childcare.
Little clarity on scores - 4 stars for food and resources:
- Food seems pretty good but sometimes appears like a little more veg would be great.
- Resources; they have lots there just a little used in terms of appearance but that I suppose should be expected in a room full of babies.
Thanks.
Excellent nursery, we've already noticed how it's benefiting our child with their development.

Excellent nursery, we've already noticed how it's benefiting our child with their development. Our first child went to a different nursery in Widnes and we thought that was good, the difference already after only 4 months is huge. The app is fantastic in keeping us informed of progress each day and a development plan is scoped out to suit your child to assist with their learning. Would very much recommend to anyone considering a nursery.
And I don't normally write reviews as a rule.
But looking back and seeing how it's done,
I would recommend Kids Planet second to none.

And I don't normally write reviews as a rule.
But looking back and seeing how it's done,

They have always been so friendly and kind,
They have developed my child's body and mind.
They have taught him to see the right from the wrongs,
They've taught him so many quite funny songs.
All in all an excellent foundation.
And I will give them my full recommendation.

Since starting at nursery my child has developed really well. You can tell her attendance has helped her to grow in confidence and her speech has come on well. The staff are really approachable and will support with any development needs eg: potty training. It is really good to see her regular assessments and photos of what she has been doing via the app.

I have built a relationship with this nursery over the past 6 years with both my children starting there at 8/9 months old. They are absolutely fantastic with the children, the children absolutely adore the staff and their time there and the managers are some of the most personable and accommodating people I’ve ever come across. I could not recommend Kids Planet Widnes enough!
We have sent our son to Kids Planet from the time he was around 9 months old until yesterday when he left pre school ahead of joining his first school. Overall we couldn't be happier with Kids Planet for all the care and support they have given our son. Coping as best they could through Covid they...
Thank you again!

As Nursery Manager, I am passionate about creating an environment where children can feel settled, confident and inspired to learn. I believe that the early years should be filled with positive experiences, meaningful interactions and plenty of opportunities to explore and have fun.
I am proud to work alongside a dedicated team who are committed to providing every child with the best possible start. We value strong partnerships with families and aim to make every parent and carer feel welcomed, supported and confident in the care their child receives.
