Lovely time spent with my granddaughter this morning. Lots of activities provided and much interaction encouraged.
Cannot comment on food and drink as it wasn't relevant.

Staff are very welcoming and attentive.

Review from Sarah B (Mother of Child) published on 1 December 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The nursery is amazing, it's smaller but that makes it so much more personal and, I think, comfortable for my daughter. Staff are fantastic with the kids, always fun activities, the app is used a lot.
Communication is great and a real home feel is given off.

Food selection and variety is excellent. Such a gem of a nursery.

Nursery has really helped my daughter accept her new baby sister - they spent many weeks before talking to her and playing with many dolls in preparation.

A lovely little nursery that provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our son fully thrives on the education he receives and his interaction with his peers. Will also intend to send our newly born daughter.

Kids Planet (Penketh) is a brilliant nursery. My son loves his time at the nursery and always comes home with a big smile each night.
He always has a lovely day.

Overall Experience

My child leaves this summer, but I can’t thank the nursery team or manager enough for their help and support over the last year - since becoming Kids Planet the nursery has changed so much, every staff member is approachable and knows my child, it has such an amazing homely feel and you're made to feel so welcome.

Overall Experience

Lovely nursery, staff are fantastic nothing is too much trouble. Really like the app which keeps you up to date with what your child has been up to through out their day, what they have eaten etc. Would highly recommend Kids Planet Penketh to my friends, leaving your child is a big step however I know that she is in good hands and they will support her in her development.

Overall Experience

Both my grandchildren love coming to Kids Planet Penketh. The staff are all lovely and there is always great activities going on for the children. My grandchildren love the community garden club that has recently been put into place. The staff are all very friendly when I come to pick them up and let me know what they have been doing during their time at nursery.

Review from Claire R (Mother of Child) published on 11 August 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

In the last 6 months, my son has been very happy in nursery. This, I believe, is mostly down to the wonderful staff, especially two staff members in particular, who my son adores. He feels comfortable and happy and I feel he is well cared for. His development has improved significantly in all areas and he is starting to make friendships. As a parent, it is reassuring that he is in a safe, stimulating and caring environment that meets his needs. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

I am really pleased with how my child has settled and been welcomed into the setting. She has bonded with her keyworker who plans interesting and refreshing activities with the children's interests in mind. The manager is a kind and friendly face who goes above and beyond for her staff and families. All the staff welcome me and my child with a warm demeanour and handovers are detailed and positive. I am very happy with my and my child's experience at Kids Planet Penketh and would recommend to everyone.

I am really pleased with the nursery and how well my child has settled in. The staff are wonderful and I am happy with how well my child has connected with his key worker and how well he is enjoying his experience.

The staff and manager go above and beyond to help, in my experience, when connecting with my child.

Review from Rachel J (Mother of Child) published on 20 July 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I had visited a few nurseries before coming to Kids Planet (Penketh) but knew as soon as I entered the baby room that it was the nursery for us! The calm, friendly atmosphere starts at the front door. All of the staff greet you with a smile and the energy throughout the nursery is warm and positive. My little one has settled in wonderfully thanks to the relationships she has built with all of the staff who care for her. She goes in each morning with a smile and comes home with one too! I go off to work each day happy in the knowledge that she is going to have a lovely time. We love receiving updates and pictures on the app!

The staff have been so supportive, always available to answer questions and it is clear that they love their jobs in the attention to detail in the activities and resources they use. They know my child and her likes/dislikes so well, she absolutely loves them and is really thriving in their care. We are very grateful to have found Kids Planet; it has made my return to work far easier!

Review from Hannah P (Mother of Child) published on 14 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little one absolutely loves going to nursery. He has come on so much since joining in March. The baby room is well stocked with activities and toys for him to play with. The carers are like family already, and I know he is in safe hands with every member of staff being first aid trained. They are fair to all the children and receive love and care, always. The staff are just wonderful people and the manager is lovely too and greets all the children at the door. The meals are fabulous, freshly cooked on-site and they follow whatever milk he’s on, or any dietary requirements needed. All nappies are provided too (great plus!) The photos and updates we get daily from the parents' app are great. Really easy to keep track of and know what he’s been up to, makes my day a little easier knowing how/what he’s doing. Thank you so much for making my first nursery experience a lovely, happy and comforting one.

Overall Experience

This nursery has a lovely home from home, family feel, which is exactly what I wanted for my little girl. The staff have great relationships with the children and always have lots of fun and exciting things going on too. My little girl always loved going here and still asks now if she can go back to nursery now she’s at school. Would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone.
