Set in a happy and welcoming environment, Kids Planet Austhorpe provides care and education for babies, toddlers and children up to the age of five years.
The nursery’s team of friendly staff is highly experienced and provides a stimulating and enabling environment to promote children’s learning and development. They work closely with parents to establish the best transition through the nursery rooms for the individual child, waiting until they reach certain developmental phases rather than progressing according to age.
Children at the nursery follow the Early Years Foundation Stage in the activities they participate in, which enables them to learn and absorb effectively in a supportive environment, while also developing softer skills such as communication and relationship building.
The nursery offers out of school clubs, including a before school club, an after school club, and a holiday club, all of which provide children with a fun atmosphere where they can play, draw or complete homework.

My daughter absolutely loves going to Sunbeams, she always has a skip in her step on her way there in the morning and always has a smile on her face when we pick her up at the end of the day. She talks about her carers a lot and obviously has a good bond with them. Throughout the last 12-months, Sunbeams have been fantastic dealing with everything that has been thrown at them. Really pleased they have been there to help support our daughter through these testing times. Thank you!

Our daughter has recently started at Sunbeams, and the staff have been so welcoming and accommodating to her needs as she hasn’t mixed with any other people than those within our bubble. Having been born just before the pandemic, our daughter is quite nervous around meeting other people she doesn’t know, however, staff have spent time and having a designated worker at the nursery is allowing her to create a bond and feel safe. We would definitely recommend Sunbeams to other parents looking for care for their child. We are very happy and confident that our daughter will begin to learn of a world with many people in and new experiences creating friendships with peers.

Everything about Sunbeams Day Nursery (Leeds) comes highly recommended. The facility, staff and location which is a beautiful outlook onto fields! Absolutely lovely place for parents to feel reassured their little ones are cared for in a most safe and secure way and most importantly a happy atmosphere for them to grow and learn. My eldest went here and without a doubt I wanted my youngest to go as well. She loves going and always comes home happy and the staff are great at updating me on how she is developing and what they’ve been up to on a daily basis. For a parent trusting someone to look after your precious children can be very stressful and difficult but I can reassure you that Sunbeams Day Nursery (Leeds) have been brilliant for my family.

My daughter has been attending Sunbeams Day Nursery (Leeds) since October 2019 and I’ve not only not had any issues the staff have been outstanding every step of the way. They keep me up to date with all successes and are always really attentive when I explain any changes. Recently I started potty training my little one and when I rang to see what they do to be consistent they gave me loads of tips and said they’d do whatever I did. So far not a single accident at nursery and they didn’t mind me ringing to check in. I love the nursery so much I recommended it to my sister and friend who’s children come to this or another branch of Sunbeams Day Nursery (Leeds). My daughter had come on leaps and bounds since starting here and is such a happy confident little person and I will genuinely be sad to when she has to leave.
All of the staff at Sunbeams Day Nursery (Leeds) are so friendly and enthusiastic, my daughter loves it and I will be sad to say goodbye in the summer when she graduates to start in reception. I would like to thank everyone as they all welcome us and have dealt with the Covid-19 situation...

I would like to thank everyone as they all welcome us and have dealt with the Covid-19 situation brilliantly.

Both my boys have gone from nine months old. They were great with my breastfeeding baby and listed to all my wishes with feeding him. Always felt listened to if I had any concerns. The staff are all lovely and friendly. My four year old loves going, seeing his friends and all the activities they do. They’ve coped really well with the Covid-19 situation and kept things normal for the children.

I have always been very happy with the provision at Sunbeams Day Nursery (Leeds). My little boy has been attending since he was eleven months old and loves his time there. He does so many lovely activities each day and I have noticed new vocabulary and learning which has clearly come from his time in nursery. The staff are consistently kind and supportive and I always feel completely confident that he is well cared for when I drop him off in the morning.
Fabulous nursery where both of my daughters have attended. My daughter who’s in preschool absolutely loves it and the staff, especially two members in particular. She’s happy and well taken care of. I have no concerns leaving my daughter there nor have I had any issues. I’ll be sad when she leave...

Sunbeams Day Nursery (Leeds) is excellent, I would absolutely recommend this nursery to anyone. The level of care is fantastic, I don’t think I’ve ever met any member of staff that isn’t smiling and all the staff are very welcoming and happy individuals. The record logs and pictures on the app are great to keep you up to date and staff are also very accommodating with any questions or queries. My little girl has come on leaps and bounds since being at this nursery and so will her sister as I will be sending her here also. I can’t thank them enough for there help and support getting my little one ready for school.

I would highly recommend Sunbeams Day Nursery (Leeds). My little boy comes home happy everyday and talks highly of the staff and the friends he’s made there. Some days he doesn’t want to come home. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The app they use is really useful as it tells you what and how much food your child has eaten throughout the day and sometimes it’s updated with photos and a little description of what your child has been up to that day. If I have another child, I’ll be sending them here too!

When we have needed to arrange a meeting it was arranged promptly and brilliant suggestions put in place by the staff to help our youngest settle in.
We feel that they go above and beyond for us and our family.
Speaking to many of my friends they wish their nurseries were as good as this one.
Both our children have attended Sunbeams, Austhorpe. I can’t fault the staff in each of the rooms, our children have always liked going to nursery.

My little one is in the infant's room and he is so happy. The staff are happy and always available and willing to talk with you. Our little one has come on so much and it's sometimes a struggle to get him to leave. Thank you for everything you do at Sunbeams.
My son has been attending Sunbeams, Austhorpe since June 2019. He has moved from the baby room up to the toddler room and has loved every moment! Which as a parent is a huge relief that we made the right choice of nursery for him.

Fantastic staff and an all-round great nursery where my 4-year-old has been for 3 years. Always very informed and my child loves attending. Never any issues. Lots of themed events and activities

Sunbeams is friendly and clean and has an uplifting environment, all staff are always happy and friendly.
We are now in our second room and I can not fault any of the staff over the baby or infant room. My little boy has come on so much and he now hates to leave which is so reassuring that he loves his time there.
The menu choices are amazing and offer a wide range. My little boy is always coming home with paintings or booklets that he has completed and extra touches such as birthday cards which is lovely.
I have tried three different nurseries for my son and this has by far been the best place. My son has very specific needs. He has autism and is non-verbal. I am so pleased with Sunbeams, Austhorpe Lane, they have been absolutely amazing and I am so glad we found them. Everyone, from the staff to...
I have tried three different nurseries for my son and this has by far been the best place. My son has very specific needs. He has autism and is non-verbal. I am so pleased with Sunbeams, Austhorpe Lane, they have been absolutely amazing and I am so glad we found them. Everyone, from the staff to the management, is so friendly and you can tell they truly care about the children. My son has already improved with his development and is now trying new snacks and can drink from a cup of water! On top of that, he loves going to nursery, he screams and flaps with excitement when we pull up and the days he is not in, he cries when we drive past! He cuddles the staff and has developed a lovely bond with them. I couldn’t recommend it more.

My son has attended this nursery since he was 7 months old. In each room he has been in so far every member of the team have been fabulous. My little boy loves the days he goes and always comes home with something new he's picked up or learnt. The staff make a personal connection with not just our son but us as a family when we come to collect him. Everyone always seems very friendly and even if they are not involved within the room your child is in they 9/10 acknowledge you and your little ones are there. Even though the area outside is fairly small they manage the time well outside with the kids.
I have recommended this nursery to a few friends who now bring their young ones here.
My little girl has attended the nursery since she was 6 months old, I was very sceptical leaving her to return to work however Sunbeams made that transition to work so easy with how amazing the staff are!

My little girl has attended the nursery since she was 6 months old, I was very sceptical leaving her to return to work however Sunbeams made that transition to work so easy with how amazing the staff are! She's still here at 3 years old and won't be leaving until the transition to school. Watching her grow and develop over the years and become the cheeky little character she is today. I can safely say that Sunbeams has played a massive part in this and I can't give my gratitude enough! All staff members engage with all me and my little girl regardless of whether she's in the class or not, I would 100% recommend the nursery to everyone.
I'd just like to say I've been really impressed with how the manager has accommodated my son starting and then soon after increasing his days at short notice. I have found the staff in the toddler room to be completely child focused and positive about my boy and I feel very comfortable leaving...
I'd just like to say I've been really impressed with how the manager has accommodated my son starting and then soon after increasing his days at short notice. I have found the staff in the toddler room to be completely child focused and positive about my boy and I feel very comfortable leaving him. Each week there seems to have been a theme such as backing for mother's day or crafting for easter and he is thriving at nursery. Thank you for taking such good care of my boy!

I am the Nursery Manager at Kids Planet Austhorpe and have been part of the Sunbeams/Kids Planet family since 2016. I began my career as an apprentice at the Halton setting and have progressed into management, gaining valuable experience across a range of age groups, rooms, and teams.
I have a strong understanding of child development and am passionate about delivering high-quality care and education. I also enjoy supporting my team, providing training, and helping practitioners grow in their roles.
I have experience managing another setting in Wetherby and was proud to receive the ‘Deputy Manager of the Year’ award at the Kids Planet awards. I have also worked as a SENDCo, supporting inclusive practice and ensuring all children can reach their full potential.
I value building strong relationships with children and families, supporting them throughout their nursery journey in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.
