  • 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.

Lovely staff, amazing environment, my daughter is always treated as the staff's own in the nursery. Going to miss it so much when she goes to big school. So grateful for all their support over the years my daughter has been there. Couldn’t ask for better staff.

The nursery staff have been an amazing extended family to both of my boys. My eldest now in year 1 still asks to go back to nursery as he misses everyone and the fun he had. My youngest is still at Nutkins and has flourished in exactly the same way as his older brother. The team have always given me
verbal and online updates on my children's progress. There is such a personal touch and that's so important. I will be very emotional when my youngest leaves in August, as the nursery has been in our lives for over 4 years. 5-stars aren't enough. Thank you, everyone.

My two boys attend this nursery and I am beyond happy with my choice in nursery! Especially seeing how they responded to the global pandemic COVID-19. The management is highly organised which puts me at ease knowing that this will have an impact on the safety of my children. I love receiving updates
via email and the online learning journal too! They are always so accommodating and this fits well with my working hours. My eldest has learnt so much from being at nursery and interacting with other children. I highly recommend Nutkins Nursery to everyone!

Nutkins are absolute professionals and take such good care of our daughter. She absolutely loves being there and gets excited when she sees the staff and children. We would not hesitate to send another child there if we were to have one and recommend them so much to anybody who would ask. Lovely nursery
and lovely staff.

My daughter has attended Nutkins since 9-months-old and will soon be transitioning into the pre-school class. She absolutely loves everyday she attends there and has thrived in all areas. They hold different activities daily, support events and keep the children active whilst learning.
All the staff
are wonderful, fully experienced and totally committed to their role, and this shows with the happiness in the children that attend. My daughter has made many friends and loves all the staff there. Their communication is excellent and all guidelines are followed impeccably.
I have recommended Nutkins to many parents who have asked for suitable nurseries as they really are a very special nursery.

I highly recommend Nutkins to all!
The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. I truly believe they provide a home from home environment. My little girl has thrived since starting and has come such a long way across all aspects of her development. The nursery is clean, well laid out and provides
continuous play both indoors and outdoors.
I receive regular updates via email of what’s taking place in the nursery and dates to add to my diary. I also receive photos of my daughter whilst she’s at nursery and like any parent I imagine, I find it lovely to see that she’s so happy and content whilst in others care.
Lovely nursery. Lovely staff.

Our little girl has attended Nutkins Nursery since she was 20-months-old, she is now 4 and a half and going to primary school in September.
We will be so sad to leave this wonderful nursery which has helped build our child's confidence and independence. She loves the nursery so much and all the staff
and friends she has made within it.
The owner is also an amazing practitioner who is very involved within Nutkins Nursery. This is something we found very good, as it shows how much she loves and cares for the nursery. From the beautifully kept gardens (play-areas) to the exceptionally lovely resources in the interior. Bright and inviting and very clean throughout.
The staff have all been there for many years which shows in their work ethic and how amazing they work as a team.
I honestly can't praise this nursery enough for what they have done supporting and encouraging our little girl to be the little lady she is today.

There just aren't enough words to describe how much we love Nutkins for our son. He has loved going there since he started in September 2018. They all know him and he will go to anyone there. It is a very personal experience with updates via the parent app and communication is excellent. They are caring
and so flexible and accommodating. I can't say anything but fabulous, loving nursery.

The best nursery ever. More like a family. My daughter loves it so much.
Even with everything going on they’ve constantly been in touch checking everything is good and sending us activities to do. She is missing nursery and all her friends so much, just hope she gets to come back before going to big
school. Anyone thinking about a nursery chose Nutkins, you won’t be disappointed.

My son has been attending Nutkins for almost three years now. He started out on the fabulous baby unit where he was cared for and nurtured by a wonderful team. He then moved down to the main nursery where he will be until he leaves for school later on in the year. Every single member of staff at the
nursery is amazing and I feel so comfortable leaving my son in their care. They have helped him become a confident and outgoing child and he absolutely loves going there. We will both be very sad when he has to leave, I can’t recommend this nursery highly enough.

My child attends this nursery 3 full days per week and I speak very highly of it and all of its staff. They do such a fabulous job and they are all so lovely.


The difference in my son since starting this nursery 6 months ago is amazing. They have really brought him out of himself and he has fitted

in fabulously. He gets really excited attending on his set days which makes me extremely happy too.


The information I receive on Tapestry is also marvellous as I love seeing my son's learning/development, even when I’m not with him.


The cleanliness of this nursery is also outstanding which is very important to myself and I feel very comfortable and at ease knowing my son is being looked after by these wonderful staff.


The additional activities the children are involved in on a weekly basis that are brought into the nursery like Drama, French etc are also a wonderful added extra.

My daughter started in April as we moved to the area. At her last nursery she would cry every day going, but since she started Nutkins, she waves goodbye without a tear and she asks every night if she’s at Nutkins again in the morning. Her confidence has grown so much, she’s met lots of friends and
her speech has come on amazingly. The staff are brilliant with her, it’s spacious and a huge garden and my daughter loves it. I recommend this place to everyone, it’s amazing.

Absolutely a fantastic nursery. Watched my son grow and develop so much since going there. Staff are brilliant. Will miss it when my son starts school in September, but the nursery have done so much to help in his development that he is ready for it. Would recommend to anyone as the best nursery in

I cannot speak more highly about Nutkins Nursery. My three-year-old son was diagnosed with type one diabetes in January. The support from all at Nutkins has been amazing. the owner is massively hands on and has had training alongside her staff to help manage his diabetes when at nursery. She has listened
and showed compassion, whilst doing all she can to make sure my son is safe, happy and well looked after. In turn, this allows me to go to work, safe in the knowledge that he is being well cared for.
My son’s key worker is a joy and constantly keeps me updated via the Tapestry app with regards his progress, alongside all other members of staff.
Also, the chef at Nutkins again is fabulous, it has been a challenge as they need to count all my son's carbs but she has dealt with this head on and continues to create healthy nutritious food that he loves!
I feel very lucky that my son gets to go to such a great place.
Thank you Nutkins for being amazing!

I trust the staff 100% with my children and they have all given my boys the best start to their life creating friendships,
enhancing their learning before school and showing them care and love.

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.
