  • Kids Planet Cleveleys, Thornton-Cleveleys
Kids Planet Cleveleys provides flexible day care services for up to 48 children aged from 3 months to 5 years. The nursery is open year round, Monday - Friday from 8am - 6pm, making it ideal for working families.

Running as a forest and beach school nursery, Kids Planet really makes the most of its seaside location. Children are given ample opportunities to learn from the great outdoors, hopefully sparking a love for nature and the environment from an early age, as well as providing varied learning and play opportunities.

A team of experienced practitioners run the site and design each day to be as fun as possible, encouraging children to learn, play and explore in a place they can feel safe and secure. All activities are planned around the children's interests and stage of development, and the team recognise that there is no one approach to childcare. There is a space for everyone at the nursery, including quiet areas for the youngest visitors, and dedicated play areas for whatever children love to do that day.

On site there is a qualified chef who prepares nutritional snacks and meals using fresh ingredients each day. The kitchen team are happy to cater for any dietary requirements or general preferences, and hope to give children the opportunity to learn about food and try new things.

Both my daughters attend this nursery, one in the baby room and one who has just transitioned to the toddler room. Baby room have been amazing with my two girls, and have been brilliant in giving my daughter reassurance when transitioning to the toddler room, staying by her side and making sure she
is fully settled. Each practitioner has been so caring and attentive to the girls and give us so much piece of mind leaving them there, wouldn't trust anyone else! There is always a new activity everyday and we enjoy receiving the pictures of what we've been up to. I would like to see more outdoor activities in the community.

My son has been at Kids Planet since July 2024 and I couldn't think of any better place for him to be looked after, whilst his mummy and daddy go to work. He goes in without any issues and seeks out the emotional warmth that is so freely given to him by the team. Outside of nursery, he regularly says
the names of his nursery ladies and is excited to see them. We feel supported as a family and feel that kids planet is an extended part of our family, for our little boy. You are all so excited and proud of each child's development and actively promote this with him and us. Thank you so much for being a home away from home for our little boy. You truly are amazing!

My son started here at 1 until he graduated at 4.5 and now my 2 year old twins go here and have been for the past year. Honestly the best nursery for my children. Catered for my child when he had dairy/soya/egg allergies. My children love it and wave me bye. The same staff have been there since my son
started which is so good for my children who don't get on well with new adults. They always go on days out; zoo, park, beach.
Would never take my children anywhere else, regular updates and photos throughout the day, wouldn't trust them with anybody else.

After my daughter having a not very nice start in a different nursery, the best decision made was to move her, we moved her to Kids planet and since then her development has massively come on, she is very confident, her speech and development has come on massively since her move. The staff are amazing
with her and she loves every single one. She talks about them all the time. Her development has massively come on and that is due to the staffing at this Nursery. This Nursery puts the child at hearts and I feel completely safe and feel that my child is supported and is in the best possible hands. Thank you for giving the time and support for my child. We really appreciate it.

Putting my son in this nursery was the best thing I have done for him. The staff are very caring and attentive to all the children and all their different needs as well as being amazing at keeping parents in the loop about their child's progress. My son goes into nursery happily and I usually have trouble
trying to get him to leave because he enjoys being there so much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son went to a previous nursery before coming here where he wasn't settling in even after a few months. He would cry before we even got to the door and he was very quiet and emotional during his time there. I moved him to kids planet cleveleys and it was the best decision I made! The staff here have
helped him be his cheeky smiley happy self. I am confident in his key workers and the management team and I no longer dread the drop off routine. He walks in now gives me a kiss and sets out to find his key workers. I will always recommend this nursery to any one who asks as it's truly deserved.

Our 16 month old daughter attends Kids Planet and absolutely loves it. She is happy, safe and very well looked after. The baby unit is a beautiful environment which encourages the babies to grow and develop, independently and with nurturing guidance. All the staff are fantastic which creates a friendly
and welcoming setting. Our daughter has a very strong bond with her key worker who she absolutely adores. She's already building great relationships with the staff who work with the older children, which I know will make her transition smoother. This nursery provides incredible opportunities for babies and young children, including trips out and creating yummy treats on the fire pit. There is a strong link between the setting and parents. The use of a great app allows parents and staff to communicate well. Regular routine entries and photos are provided which reassures parents and keeps them updated. I couldn't think of a better place for our child to build her strong foundations.

My little boy has been going to kids planet since January 2025, after returning to work after maternity, one of my fears was leaving him with people he didn't know, but from day one my mind was out at ease and seeing how much he loves, and he had made lots of little friends along the way, and has come
on so much since being here and I'm so glad I chose this nursery. The staff are amazing and can not fault them has come on so much since being here and I'm so glad I chose this nursery.

My child has been at this nursery for two years and has loved it from the very beginning. The staff are so caring, welcoming and attentive, and it's clear they genuinely know and value each child. The environment is warm, safe, and full of fun learning opportunities. I've always felt confident leaving
my son here, knowing he is happy and well looked after. I couldn't recommend this nursery more highly!

I have the pleasure of my son attending Kids Planet, Cleveleys. From the moment we first walked through the door the warm and welcoming environment made us feel at home. The staff are incredibly nurturing and attentive, always taking the time to engage with the children and create a positive atmosphere.
The nursery is well-rounded and thoughtfully designed offering a perfect blend of play-based learning and structured activities. The nursery has a strong emphasis on outdoor play which I believe is essential for children's development. Communication with parents is excellent with regular updates and opportunities for feedback. I truly appreciate the dedication of staff to ensure each child's individual needs are met. Overall I highly recommend Kids Planet to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for their little one.

Such an amazing nursery. All the staff are brilliant and know all the children and their families. They're always on hand to support/offer advice when needed and because they know the children so well they know how to get the best out of each child. The space is incredible with big rooms with different
activities in each. The garden area is like another world. You don't feel like it's just outside which helps with outdoor learning. The children are out in the garden most days. My daughter has come on so much and is the most confident little girl who I know will be more than ready for school when the time comes. The best decision I made sending her to this amazing nursery.

Kids Planet Cleveleys has been like a second home to us since November 2023. When my child first started there she was such a shy, quiet girl due to a bad experience from a different nursery setting, since starting here she has absolutely blossomed into this outgoing, happy, sassy little girl. The staff
are so helpful, nothing is to big of an ask and they are very supportive of my child with her development and learning. I would recommend this nursery to friends and family.

All the team are amazing. The nursery setting has many little rooms, toys and activities. The outdoor space is new and modern. My youngest girl loved it here and misses it now she's at school. My other daughter is still here and loves it, now my son has started too, wouldn't take them anywhere else.
They are Ofsted outstanding for a reason.

The staff at Kids Planet in Cleveleys have looked after all 3 of my children. I can't fault the staff they are so caring and make the nursery a fun and safe place for the children to be. All my children have loved being at nursery, and even my eldest, who is now 9, can't wait to pick his little brother
up so he can see the staff and say hello. Kids Planet in Cleveleys has loads to offer, whether it's being outside to messy play or having some quiet time in the sensory room. Gutted this is the last year for my little one now being in preschool. Thank you for everything you have done over the years.

Such a wonderful nursery with brilliant staff. I have sent all three of my children here and my older kids still love to pop in and say good morning to all the staff when dropping the youngest off. My daughter runs into nursery with confidence and tells me how she loves nursery. The staff there really

I absolutely love my son's nursery and have done from the second we walked through the door. He has been there from 8 months and is now 2.5 so he has been in the baby room and in the 2+ room and all of the ladies working with the children are absolutely fantastic. The nursery is clean, the rooms are
well-resourced and the meals are always nutritious and varied. My son has always loved going to nursery and has a fantastic bond with all of the girls working with him. Their outdoor area is new and is absolutely fantastic. They are outdoors as much as possible which I absolutely love. My son is thriving at nursery and I wouldn't send him anywhere else. I get updates throughout the day about his meals, nappies, sleeps and lovely little updates of what he has been doing throughout the day. Would highly recommend Kids Planet Cleveleys and have nothing but positive things to say.

We couldn't recommend this nursery enough, My little girl started in the baby room and is now in Pre School, The staff treat her like their own, the relationships and the bonds she has made are amazing and no matter how many tears she tries to give me I know she's happy and safe. The staff were so supportive
during my pregnancy when I was struggling and I'll never forget the support they offered through this time. They offer such a variety of different activities/trips out along with a great outdoor space. I will genuinely be so upset when it's time for her to leave but look forward to our little boy starting his journey there. We wouldn't choose anywhere else.

My child who I thought I would never be able to leave anywhere, as he is an extremely clingy child, has settled into nursery and loves going every day. All 3 of my children have gone here. So I have used the nursery for over 6 years. The staff are absolutely amazing. They love their jobs and are outstanding

My daughter joined the baby room in September (10 months old), as a first-time mum I was so apprehensive about sending her to nursery but I can honestly say it has been the best thing for her. She has come on so much since being here and I'm so glad I chose this nursery. The staff are amazing, communicate

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.916)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.916) out of 10 for Kids Planet Cleveleys is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.916 for Kids Planet Cleveleys is calculated as follows: ( (335 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 359 Ratings = 4.916
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Cleveleys is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
