Review from Cora D (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Just wanted to say I can't recommend this nursery enough - definitely the best one in the area. They have taken care of my son and daughter since she was three months old. All the equipment is age-appropriate, and they even have activities for a range of age groups to be involved with, for example, they also get my 6-month-old involved with the activities my almost 2-year-old is taking part in. This nursery also has an outdoor space where they put your child in waterproofs to protect their clothing and get to experience outdoor play at all ages.

They get freshly made meals that are very nutritional these kids get fed better than me! They are great with communication and you get pictures and updates through the app, which is really helpful. All the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. I have full faith and trust in all the staff at this nursery that my kids getting the best possible care whilst I'm working. My son constantly asks if he can go to nursery - he loves it!

Overall Experience

We have had the most amazing settling-in experience over the last two months. Our little boy started full-time at Kids Planet at 9 months old. From the settling-in sessions and through the first week they were so supportive. Their communications are great and we love the app for keeping us up to date on what he's up to! The nursery has a lovely family feel to it and the staff are so caring and maternal with him. After six weeks he's really settled and happy. I'm so glad we chose Kids Planet Padiham! Thank you to all the staff in the babies and tot room.

My big little man has been attending Kids Planet Padiham since he was 11 months old. These ladies go above and beyond with him every day he attends.
My son has additional needs, and he is cared for and loved as much at Kids Planet as he is at home.
These ladies and gents do all they can to aid him in learning, to keep him engaged and happy and to develop his skills in a way he can understand.

They do their best, and I would never ask for more.

Overall Experience

I can't rate Kinderbear Nursery highly enough! My daughter has been going now for over 3 years and loves it so much. Right from the start, the staff were incredible - putting our minds at rest as we were very anxious leaving our precious girl - but nothing was ever too much. I could ring several times to check on her and each time they put my mind at ease and took the time to tell me what she was doing and how settled she was. She has come out of her shell since being quite a shy little girl when she first started going, now we can't stop her talking and her confidence has grown dramatically! She loves to tell us about her day and what she has been getting up to at Kinderbear. Not once has my daughter ever said she didn't want to go to Kinderbear, and that I think is the best review a nursery/preschool could receive. If my daughter is happy then I am happy! They are all amazing! Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!

Overall Experience

My girls have gone to this nursery since they were 10 months old! (They turn 5 in September). They both absolutely love going to nursery I know they both feel very sad about leaving soon as do I. The staff have always been amazing and we will all feel incredibly sad when they finish. Thank you for the care and attention you have given to my girls over the years the girls adore you all at Kinderbear Nursery!

Review from Shannon R (Mother of Child) published on 15 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started in 2021, when she first attended all she would do is sit in a corner by herself, play alone and sleep in the corner on her own. Due to a previous childminder, she didn't have a great start, she was anxious and sad all the time. Since starting at Kinderbear Nursery, over the past year or so, she has such a funny and outgoing personality. She was massively behind with her talking, now she counts to 10 and says her ABCs (somewhat questionable) knows all the animals and their sounds. The girls are fab and I can't thank them enough for neutering my tiny human and bringing her so far away from the sad, distant baby she was. I honestly appreciate and love you all so much. Xx

Overall Experience

My daughter started in September 2020 in the 2's room and is now coming to the end of her Kinderbear journey. The whole nursery is outstanding and the staff and management are friendly, caring and professional - it's like being part of a big family. They've always been a great support to me and a big part of my daughter's first years of life and the start of her learning journey into big school. Will remember the special people at Kinderbear for a very long time.

My little man has been there since he was around 10 months old due to being so clingy. The fantastic staff have done an amazing job with him and shown him it is ok to go to nursery. He has come out of his shell and come on so much. Thank you so much.

Overall Experience

The staff are amazing. The nursery's most valuable resource. They always put the children at the heart of what they do. My daughter has thrived at the nursery and she never wants to miss a day. Communication with parents is excellent about what the children are learning and their next steps in learning. The food menu is wonderful and my child has enjoyed healthy and balanced meals and snacks every day. My child has made progress in all areas and I would highly recommend Kinderbear to other parents.

Kinderbear is a fantastic nursery, all my four children have thrived and still are with the help of the brilliant staff. My first child started in 2011 and I’ve never had any concerns, I have two children still in the nursery and they love going every day. I would highly recommend them.

Review from Kelli K (Mother of Child) published on 8 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

An excellent nursery, brilliant facilities and friendly, loving staff. My two children both attended from 6 months old right up until they started school and they have so many fond memories. My daughter who left nursery two years ago still talks about the “ladies” there and asks if she can go back just for a day! My son who attends currently is excited for nursery every day and comes home exhausted (which is a good thing!) and full of stories from the day. Lots of special fun days and dress-up days which he always looks forwards to. Pirate day was a huge hit with him and he looked forward to it for weeks! The staff always have the children's best interests at heart and are really accommodating towards working parents. The pre-school side of the nursery is also excellent and my daughter was familiar with her phonics and numbers before she started school because of the lessons she had as part of her pre-school group. I couldn’t have asked for a better start for my little ones.

Review from Kerrie B (Mother of Child) published on 23 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My children started part time and the nursery was great in starting them within a week, then they went full time and they absolutely love it always dropping them off and picking them up smiling. Staff are great and always a happy great communication with parents and children. They helped me and my daughter when she had a diary allergy.

Very good at the activities we do at home and putting it in their journals. Highly recommended.
