Overall Experience
Having my son settled in to nursery it didn't take long for my daughter Sofia either. Very friendly staff who are supportive and caring towards children.

My son looks forward to going into nursery and loves being with his friends. Kimberley and Bethany have made him feel welcome in toddler class. Thank you

Review from Ellen H (Mother of Child) published on 2 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A fab and supportive nursery team. My little girl is always excited to go in and chats confidently about her day on her way home. She particularly enjoys being outside and playing on the pirate ship as well as the yoga and dance parties. The team know her well and give us updates everyday at pickup. She also gets to try and eat a range of fab food and her knife and fork skills and eating habits have come on leaps and bounds since joining. We are extremely happy with Kids Planet and have enrolled our newborn in to start when I go back to work next year! Would definitely recommend Mandy and the Team xx

Review from H D (Mother of Child) published on 1 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has recently joined and appears to be settling in quite well (besides the nursery freshers bugs). I get regular updates on his progress & the activities he has been up to. The staff all appear to be really lovely and caring. Only negative is the pricing (I get it isn't their fault as they need to be able to pay staff, etc), just the cost is a shock and a struggle each month but I don't want my child to miss out on new meals & activities, etc so I feel a bit stuck in a loop of paying it but having to work more to be able to afford it (again, I understand it isn't their fault, but was a shock as a first time parent as I wasn't expecting it to be that high with funded hours on top).

Overall Experience

My son has an absolute blast at nursery, he always has a big smile on his face in his photos and when I pick him up. The carers are lovely and are clearly interested in my son and helping him develop. The play all sorts of games, sing and dance and the carers are always keen to tell me what he really enjoys during his days there.

Very happy with this nursery!

We couldn't have been more happy for choosing this nursery for our 2 daughters. The staff is amazing and caring. Through the app we receive regular updates which is very handy, as well as photos of their daily activities. They both seem so happy and engaged! I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

Review from Rachel P (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our baby girl has attended since September 2025 and we couldn't be happier with the care she has received. She is only 17 months and absolutely loves going to nursery every day. When we pick her up, she doesn't want to leave. The staff are all so lovely. Mandy is excellent and so understanding. I was dreading the transition from maternity leave to nursery, but never, ever felt like a bother calling to check if my little one was okay. Mandy encouraged me to ring as much as possible and made me feel so reassured. We feel so happy with our decision. She has so much fun and has developed so much. Thanks to all the lovely staff.

Review from Elke D (Mother of Child) published on 25 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending Kids Planet Nursery since he was just 8 months old, and I honestly couldn't have chosen a better place for him.
The staff are truly exceptional - nothing is ever too much trouble. India always makes time for me whenever I have questions about my son, which gives me so much reassurance as a parent. Veronica is incredibly kind and consistently puts the children first in everything she does. Mandy and Kimberly are amazing - they always go above and beyond to accommodate my work schedule and support our family's needs.
The nursery itself is fantastic, warm, and welcoming. I feel completely confident leaving my son in their care every single day. I genuinely wouldn't consider sending him anywhere else.

I know I'll be very sad when the time comes for him to move on to school - that alone says everything about how wonderful this nursery truly is.

The nursery and all the staff are great with my daughter. She loves coming and has developed a great bond with all the staff there and they are so accommodating and friendly. After leaving my daughter to go to work, it's such a comfort knowing she is safe and happy. I have and would always recommend here.

My first child attended this nursery and he got exceptional care I therefore felt relaxed and happy to put my daughter in this nursery. The staff are very engaging, informative and caring. I feel extremely relaxed with leaving my child and know she is in safe hands.

There is a good variety of meals and activities including great outdoor space. I would recommend this nursery to friends and family.

Review from Gemma G (Mother of Child) published on 16 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I could not be happier with this nursery. Our 16 month old son has been attending since he was 9 months (for 3 days) and has been doing 5 days since September. He absolutely loves going to nursery. The nursery workers are all incredibly kind and caring. We get lovely regular updates about him in the app and he does such a wide range of activities, indoor and outdoor. We really appreciate that he is able to play outside in the outdoor space (weather permitting!). The food he gets is really varied and he has a balanced diet. Honestly the staff could not do enough for us. We would be lost without this nursery.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at the nursery for 2.5 years and has absolutely thrived during that time. She has made amazing friendships and has such great bonds with the staff.

Each day she does a variety of activites which both the staff and her update me on.

We will be sad to leave when she goes to school in September but they have prepped her with so many skills which she will take with her.

What a truly wonderful nursery! My daughter has absolutely flourished here and will be so sad to leave. The staff are simply incredible; they genuinely go above and beyond every single day, creating such a nurturing, fun, and stimulating environment.

Review from Jess M (Mother of Child) published on 22 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy has been attending Kids Planet, Kenton Park since September 2024. I honestly can not fault the nursery at all. All of the staff are amazing and all of the facilities are excellent. I was so nervous on my first few days of taking him in but all of the staff were so good with him (and making me feel at ease). He has come on leaps and bounds since starting, with his walking, talking and motor skills. Everyone around us always comments on how well behaved he is, his communication and especially sitting at the table and eating and I honestly believe this is due to the excellent structure at nursery. I would 100% recommend Kids Planet, Kenton Park to any of my friends and family. My little boy can't quite tell us yet about his day but we are always well informed at the end of his day and updates on the app! I can't wait to watch him grow and thrive at this nursery!

Review from Stephen L (Father of Child) published on 22 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Kids Planet have been fantastic since we took our little boy there in September. He loves going to nursery and every member of staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Nothing is too much trouble and they genuinely care about the children in their care. His key worker is great and developed a quick bond with him which made the start to nursery much easier, the branch manager is always on hand for any questions, knows the kids and parents and always ensures things are running smoothly. Overall we could not not recommend Kids Planet Kenton Park enough for anyone considering this for their children.

Review from Sarah M (Mother of Child) published on 22 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending Kids Planet Kenton Park for just over a year and loves it. She initially struggled with separating from us, but the team are always so calm and lovely with her that she now struts in confidently. She has come on leaps and bounds in terms of her language, motor, and social development and talks all the time about her nursery friends. She naps happily, willingly eats things she usually refuses at home, and is so settled. The staff are all brilliant and really notice things about her and are able to tell us specific details about what she enjoys or has been doing that day. We are so happy with the care our little girl receives and would (and do!) recommend this nursery to others.

My toddler son has been attending Kids Planet Kenton for 8 months now. He wasn't used to being away from his mommy and daddy, but the staff have been so lovely and patient in helping him -and us- settled.

Our little one absolutely loves nursery now, he's learned and developed so much. He is excited going in the morning, and I love getting updates throughout the day via the app.

Overall Experience

I love the care that the nursery team in Kenton Park Kids Planet give to my son. I know he is quite happy and engages in diverse activities. More importantly, the team in the Nursery keeps us informed of anything that might happen through the app, website or even calling us directly if there is any issue. We know that my son learns in the nursery, for the simple fact that he learned words that we have not taught him. So the learning experience is great! One day we had to pick up my son very early and we were given lunch for him by the nursery team. It was interesting to see him enjoying the food, even more than the one we cooked him in our house! So definitely great food!
