I would like to praise the whole of the nursery staff at Blackpool Victoria who really helped both my toddlers settle in as part of the furniture especially, my son who is very reserved with change and has helped excel his confidence in many areas. The nursery is very warming and blooming with lots of things going on and to do. The staff are an amazing team and the manager is always going above and beyond striding throughout the building, updating areas and implementing change and has excellent communication via the nurseries ongoing changes for parents. I can not give enough recognition and have made me as a parent whose very anxious feel so content that my children are in safe, nurting hands and are always happy on collection. BIG UP , BLACKPOOL VICTORIA KIDS PLANET.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. Reading your kind words means a great deal to myself and the entire team at Kids Planet Blackpool Victoria. We are delighted to hear that both of your children have settled so well and that we have been able to support your three-year-old's confidence and development during what can often be a big transition. Creating a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment where every child feels safe, valued, and encouraged to thrive is at the heart of everything we do. It is incredibly rewarding to know that this has had such a positive impact on your family. We also truly appreciate your recognition of the team's hard work and dedication. They consistently go above and beyond to provide the very best care and learning experiences for our children, and I will be sure to share your lovely feedback with them.

My 11month old son started kids planet Victoria Blackpool in mid-August. He had several struggles before starting with both food and taking milk from a bottle which was anxiety inducing. HOWEVER with amazing communication and teamwork, we and the amazing staff have managed to get him eating and taking full bottles within a week or 2. He's also become a lot more social and comes home happy everyday, which as a parent is the biggest blessing and relief. I cannot fault the care he's been given and how friendly and interactive the staff are with myself- They feel like family. Anne as a manager ls extremely approachable, and engaged in everything happening in and around the nursery, including in the care of each child. Cannot recommend the nursery and more importantly the staff enough!

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind review. Reading your feedback truly means the world to me and the whole team. I know how worrying it can be when your child is facing challenges with feeding and settling into a new environment, so I am absolutely delighted to hear how well your son has progressed since joining us in August. Seeing him grow in confidence, become more social, and enjoy his nursery days is wonderful, and I am so pleased that we have been able to support both him and your family through this transition. We pride ourselves on building strong relationships with our families, and it is lovely to hear that you feel the team are approachable, friendly, and caring. Your comments about us feeling like family are especially touching, as creating a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and happy is at the heart of everything we do. Thank you again for your trust, support, and recommendation. It is a privilege to be part of your son's journey

The whole team at Blackpool Victoria nursery, led by a truly brilliant manager, go above and beyond in creating a nurturing and learning environment. Our son has grown so much in confidence, language and social skills since being there. So much thought clearly goes into the days there and I love how much outside time they get, including fun trips out. He has just moved up to the preschool room and is absolutely loving it. I cannot recommend the nursery highly enough.

It is lovely to hear how much your son has grown in confidence, language, and social skills since joining Kids Planet Victoria. We are incredibly proud of the nurturing and stimulating environment our team creates each day, and it is fantastic to know that this has had such a positive impact on his development. I am especially pleased to hear that he is enjoying his time in Preschool and has settled so well into his new room.

Thank you for your kind words about both the nursery and myself. Your recommendation means so much to us and will be shared with the whole team, who will be delighted to know their dedication is appreciated.

Our daughter has been at the nursery for the nearly 4 years and absolutely loves it. The staff are great and our daughter has bonded with them as she's progressed through the different levels. The nursery is a safe and welcoming environment and we couldn't recommend highly enough.

My little girl absolutely loves coming to kids planet victoria. She is always telling me about all the things and outings she has been doing on a daily basis. Anne the manager has done so much for the nursery since she has taken over. She really does care for everyone in the nursery and it really shows through all the happy children and staff. I will be sad for my little girl leaving this year for big school. But she has so many happy memories and friends made. She is also truly ready for school from all the preparation in pre school that they have given. I am truly grateful for a fantastic nursery.

The nursery has improved massively since Anne became manager - honestly, it feels like a 10,000% difference. Her leadership, commitment, and genuine care for both the children and their families really shows in everything she does.
The whole team consistently go above and beyond, creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can thrive. We feel so confident leaving our child in their care each day. Thank you to Anne and the whole team for the amazing work you do!
Thank you so much for your kind words and continued trust in us. It's been a joy to watch your child grow and thrive with us over the years. We're especially grateful for your recognition of the nursery's leadership and our team's efforts-it truly means a lot.

Since the new manager has taken over, the nursery has become an even more welcoming and nurturing environment. She is incredibly kind, approachable, and always willing to listen to any concerns. You can truly see the love and dedication she puts into making the nursery feel like a home from home.
The open spaces for the children are absolutely impeccable - bright, clean, and designed perfectly for little ones to explore, learn, and grow. I always feel at ease knowing my girls are in such a safe, stimulating, and happy place.
Highly recommend to any parent looking for a caring and professional setting!

My little boy started at Victoria hospital nursery when he had just turned 2 and the support we have had from the staff from the start has been amazing! I am definitely a more anxious mummy and the staff are always super helpful with any concerns I have regarding his nursery day or his development. The preschool team have been amazing this year getting him ready for big school and I can't thank them enough for everything they do for him. The changes in the nursery since the manager has taken over have also been amazing we are really enjoying the home learning bags that are available also the story sacks have become a staple in our nursery routine. My youngest will also be starting this year and already the staff have helped me to feel less nervous about this. We honestly can't thank the Vic team enough
My son really enjoys it here, he has made so many friends and formed positive relationships with the staff, he thinks of them as staff and even calls some be "aunty". He gets to experience a variety of food and expand his pallet. He often enjoys trips to the zoo etc.
