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.

Great nursery! My girls are very settled here. All staff treat my girls like their own children. The girls come home with full tummies as alternative meals are provided. The girls have great bonds with their key workers, but also with the other members of staff. I would recommend this nursery to friends/new
mums as the baby unit is also outstanding.

Kids Planet Cleveleys is a big spacious nursery with friendly, professional and caring staff. I love that the children get outside playtime every day and the food is varied and homemade. My little boy loves going to nursery and we couldn't be happier.

My daughter has been at this nursery for just over 6 months and is in the over 2's room.
She absolutely loves being at this nursery, and she always comes home full of stories of what she and her friends have been up to.
The nursery is open plan and the children all mix together which has helped my
daughter's development no end. They always seem to be doing something different and the children are given choices of what they want to do including going outside which my daughter loves, no matter the weather
They go out of the nursery regularly on adventures, again this is something my little one loves.
The staff seem to really care for the children and genuinely want to know what the children are up to out of nursery even giving little home projects for you to take home and do with your children.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone, and I know my little one is being well looked after and is doing activities which not only she loves but is helping with her development.

I really couldn't ask for a better place for my little girl. She has been here since she was 6 months old and she has flourished beautifully. The baby unit staff are super and always treat her as if she is part if the family. I couldn't ask for a better place.

Never had a bad experience. Every morning my son is so excited to see his nursery leader. Always comes home in the best mood. Everybody is lovely, they always cater to not only my child's needs but also us as parents. I am looking to send my youngest in the upcoming months.

Both my children have attended Kids Planet Cleveleys. The team are wonderful and always on hand if I have any queries. Their key worker always had time to talk. The meals were fully prepared by a cook, whether it be a start and main or main and pudding. The nursery is clean and always set up with lovely
activities for the children to develop. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Review from B H (Mother of Child) published on 9 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The nursery staff are amazing! They go above and beyond and my little boy loves all the staff. The only two complaints I have that I feel need to be improved on are the financial impact on parents and nutrition. I had a lot of issues with the bill and tried to rectify this several times before someone
spoke to us and tried to help us with this within the finance department. The lunch time meal is of good quality and nutritional, however a lot of the tea time meals are ‘lunch’ time meals. I understand some children go home and have tea with their families but when you have parents that work full time we are relying on a hearty, fulfilling meal for our children’s tea and at times it can be something as little as ‘veg sticks and dip’ which I don’t feel is a very nutritional meal to have on its own.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Kids Planet Cleveleys always go above and beyond to support the children there, I have seen first-hand how they help parents with potty training, dropping the dummy and overall support.
My daughter loves nursery and often tells me which adults she played with that day, not just the children
which shows how interactive the staff are.
When she's a little upset a lot of the time she will only come to me, but certain members of staff also have that safe comforting relationship with her too which makes me so reassured.
The team at Nutkins have always given me verbal and online updates on my child's progress, and as well as it being professional there is also that personal touch.
My daughter and I are going to be sad when it comes time to leave.

Such a welcoming nursery, super patient with my little girl who is always reluctant to go in the morning but has the best time once she's in! Always leaves with a smile on her face! The staff are wonderful both up and down stairs and I feel confident my girl is being well looked after whilst here.

As a mum of a child with complex health needs this nursery was the best choice for my boy. The staff go above and beyond to make sure all his needs are met to the highest standard. He's under the SEN team and only the other week I was approached and told the staff would learn sign language to communicate
with my beautiful boy better, this warmed my heart so much. All the staff are amazing! The manager has a heart of gold and is absolutely amazing. My son's key worker is an absolutely amazing lady, we couldn't have asked for anyone better! Thank you for all you do for my baby boy. Best nursery around, in my opinion!

Words can not describe our experience with Nutkins Nursery, from the moment my son started, halfway through a pandemic, we were made to feel part of the Nutkins family!
All the teachers have so much love for each child and you can see how much they thoroughly enjoy their jobs and how each child loves
attending.
I was extremely nervous about my son starting nursery, due to numerous allergies and asthma, but they always took his needs into consideration and gave me feedback on how he was that day when I collected him!
His key worker was absolutely amazing and nothing was ever too much for her, she truly goes above and beyond (as do the other key workers with their children).
I 100% recommend Nutkins to anybody thinking of putting their child into a nursery.

My children attend here and I couldn't wish for a better start in life for them. All the practitioners from the baby unit through to pre-school are kind, nurturing, loving and warm. I receive daily updates of their day and what they have eaten. My children come home happy and full of stories and as
a parent, I couldn't ask for anything more.

Both my boys have attended this outstanding nursery. My eldest is now in year one and still has fond memories of his nursery days. My youngest is about to start his final year before his next adventure to big school. Both boys have been supported in their emotional development, communication and their
everyday learning. With lots of activities on offer each day, there is lots of valuable learning each day.
The setting and staff are warm, friendly and nurturing and know the children’s individual needs. My little boy is always full of exciting stories from his day at nursery.

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.
