Kids Planet Appleton Thorn

Excellent staff. My child always has lots of nice things to say about her day! Thanks.

My children love coming to The Old Vicarage. Their development has been brilliant, and we would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone. The staff are all great!

Both children absolutely love it.

Our daughter started at The Old Vicarage in the baby room and is now in pre-school. We've been very happy with the level of care and the effort that staff put into creating a loving, happy environment. Our daughter loves the staff and the fun activities on offer. The outdoor space is fantastic and well utilised.

I have two children who attend the nursery and they both absolutely love attending. They have so much fun and it amazes me how much they learn. The setting is really preparing my son ready to start primary school and I don't feel as anxious that he will be starting so soon. We are very happy with our nursery!

I couldn't be happier with the care at The Old Vicarage. The staff are amazing and clearly passionate about the children. The setting is great too - love the outdoor pavilion.

The outdoor space is amazing and the activities the staff come up with are fantastic. Everywhere seems clean and safe.

My child has recently started at the setting. The girls were amazing at settling my little boy in. He is always so happy when he comes home talking about his day and the fantastic activities that have been available.

Attentive and friendly team, focussed on developing children in a fun way. My child is always singing and dancing showing us what he has learnt. Transitioning rooms was successful but could do with more parent communication on current development and future areas to develop. Communication of fees could have been better. Good newsletters.

Lovely staff and very clean environment. The outdoor space is brilliant and my little girl loves it.

My child attended this setting from the age of two until she left to go to school. She was very happy at the nursery and made lovely relationships with the staff and children there. Since she has been attending school I have had several comments from her new teacher about how well prepared she was when she started school. She had developed really great phonics skills so has taken to reading very quickly and adapted to the routines of school as the teacher in 'Little School' at the Old Vicarage had worked really hard to get the children ready for this.

My daughter is very happy at this nursery and talks about the children and staff a lot. They have been instrumental in helping me with some difficult toddler times and I feel they are a great source of information and influence. They have fresh ideas all the time and I am glad that we made the decision to travel a bit further to have such a good outdoor space.

Staff within the setting are always friendly and polite, they go out of their way to acknowledge both parents and children on arrival and when leaving. Our little man loves attending nursery and has grown in confidence since starting. He comes home shattered after a busy day of learning.

Looks great on paper the reality is somewhat different, unfortunately!

My son seems to have settled so quickly at The Old Vicarage Day Nursery, I put this down to the lovely caring ladies who work in the Rainbow room. It is a supportive and nurturing environment where I am sure he is going to thrive.

Moved here from another nursery and my son has settled in so well and has been made to feel like he has always been here. Management is so friendly. My son loves to play outside and this is really encouraged, he loves Forest School.

Both my children attend The Old Vicarage. They both happily go into their rooms each morning and talk about their teachers and friends often at home. Our eldest transitioned over at three-years-old and settled very quickly. A lovely, family setting.

All of my children have been to the nursery and really flourished in the environment.

Our son loves the nursery and genuinely looks forward to coming each day. They have a little school to prep kids for school, forest school for outdoor activities and a varied activity schedule.

I think it’s outstanding personally, and would recommend it to anyone who wants the best for their children.

Our littlest has done well at the nursery and they have really worked to ensure they built on confidence and character, not losing sight of the fact each child is different and needs different focus.
