Review from Kate R (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We absolutely love Kenton Park Kids Planet; our little girl is so happy there. We take so much joy from how happy she is every morning when she is going to nursery. The girls take such good care of her and she is so delighted with the range of activities (as are we) that she gets involved in. The care and attention that all of the staff take in her development is second to none. Everybody is so lovely and they show a genuine interest in the children and the specific things that they enjoy (and then report that back to me/my husband). They work so hard and do such a fantastic job. Thank you all. We would definitely recommend this nursery to parents and carers.

Review from Oliver R (Father of Child) published on 12 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter loves Kenton Park Kids Planet. Some of her first words were the names of her key workers and staff members who look after her each week. I love hearing about her daily activities, and I know that her personality shines through as a result of the loving and nurturing environment that Kids Planet provides.

Thank you.

Amazing setting, so flexible and accommodating. My son loves going there and settled really quickly. The staff are great and I am kept really well up to date with his progress. Couldn’t recommend more.

Five-star nursery and staff, from day one of my son being there, his development has continued to grow and learn new things and he loves going. All the staff are really professional at all times and also friendly and make you feel so comfortable about leaving your child with them.

Review from Natalie P (Mother of Child) published on 1 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My experience at this nursery has been amazing, the staff will always communicate about my child and his day and what he has been up to. My little boy always goes into nursery happy and is welcomed by the lovely staff there. His keyworker always makes me feel reassured while dropping him off and has been amazing in supporting him with settling into the nursery and supporting his learning and development while there. My son always leaves happy and I can see he is very cared for while at nursery, I would highly recommend this nursery.

Reply from Mandy Conway, at Kids Planet Kenton Park

Thank you for your lovely review. He has settled in to nursery really well and is such a pleasure to have in our care.

Review from Kara M (Mother of Child) published on 4 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

An amazing nursery! The staff go above and beyond for every child and provide the highest quality care. They work closely to follow frameworks to encourage continuous development amongst children and have great facilities. Children get to spend time outdoors and are encouraged to use their imagination. I am continuously kept up to date with my sons day via an app, including sleep and meals. All staff work as a team to provide the best possible care for all children and I would most definitely recommend this nursery to other parents and carers.

Review from Stacey H (Mother of Child) published on 26 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Lovely nursery. The staff are very polite and helpful, nothing is too much of a hassle for them and they are fantastic with the kids. My little boy sometimes gets upset going in but when he sees one staff member in particular he calms down. I get regular updates on the app and we’ll be sad when he has to leave to go to big school!

We're so happy to hear that your little one is enjoying his time and that staff are so supportive.

My daughter started nursery here beginning of September. We have nothing but positive comments. Wide range of activities both indoors and outdoors. Couldn't fault the nursery, staff or facilities. They have been helpful and supportive with the transition period from another nursery to theirs.

Thank you very much for your review. He has a fantastic time at nursery exploring and playing with his friends, and is an absolute pleasure to have in our care.

Very good local nursery for my child. Lovely staff and sensible management. I've never had any issues with anything. There are enough outdoor and indoor activities for the kids to thrive, learn and explore.

Overall Experience

I cannot recommend the nursery highly enough! Our son joined in June 2020 during the lockdown and the difference nursery has made in supporting his development has been amazing. There is so much love and care for him from all the nursery staff, we take so much comfort in knowing how safe and happy he is going to be every single day we drop him off.

Lovely nursery with fantastic staff. My little girl has been attending since she was 4 months old so it's great to see how much she has progressed in a year with the help of the staff. I was anxious to send her to nursery at such a young age but she absolutely loves it!

Overall Experience

Absolutely fantastic nursery, amazing facilities and a prime location. The best thing about this nursery has to be the amazing staff! They are like extended family, my daughter loves each and every one of her carers and has made some wonderful friends. Her speech and development have been incredible since she started. I cannot express how impressed I am with this nursery. Thank you to everyone at Kids Planet Kenton Park.

Review from Li-Am C (Mother of Child) published on 30 January 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my children have attended the nursery from the age of one. They are currently two and four and still enjoying every day they are there. I have nothing negative to say about Kids Planet. Staff go above and beyond, and my husband and I feel confident that the kids are well looked after. We often hear from our four-year-old about the wonderful things staff do to keep her happy and entertained, and my own dealings with staff show them to be well-organised and very accommodating. Having experienced some challenging times before leaving the kids at nursery, I was particularly nervous about not having them at home with me. My overall experience has been such a positive one, and I'm very grateful for that.

Review from Katie S (Mother of Child) published on 30 January 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Wonderful nursery where the staff are all caring and warm. It's a lovely homely environment. The managers care so much about the kids and know them all. It's obvious how much the staff enjoy being around the kids which is lovely to see.
My oldest loves all of the arts and crafts and time playing outside in the garden. And my youngest loves the beautiful toys in the baby room and getting lots of cuddles and songs. They love the food and my oldest asks for nursery soup at home.

The nursery has a real heart to it. It means a lot that both my girls are so well looked after.

Our daughter loves this nursery so much. We have never had a time that she's not wanted to go. She skips in every morning. She has come on so much in the last few months and that is down to the amazing staff at Kids Planet Nursery School.

Thank you for the lovely review. She really does love coming in to nursery and has the best time exploring with her friends.

Review from Leanne D (Mother of Child) published on 25 January 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Home away from home setting. Friendly, warm, experienced staff. Always willing to go above and beyond for my child and also to ensure their welfare and happiness is looked after with utmost care. Since starting over a year ago, the development I have seen in my child has been nothing short of amazing! The best thing however is seeing how excited she is to go in every day. This is the best indication that the carers are looking after her and it's a safe place for her to be.

Overall Experience

All of our children had a great experience here. Don't be fooled by the exterior. There are flashier-looking nurseries in Gosforth which don't achieve the same high standards. This is all thanks to the staff who genuinely care about the kids.

Mandy Conway

I have been nursery manager here since 2008, but I have been in childcare for over 20 years. My passion to work with children was ignited when I had my own children. I work with a fantastic team, with most of them being long term staff members. I hold a Diploma in Early Years Practice Level 5. I am also the nursery’s Designated Safeguarding Lead. I feel so proud of the nursery that I have had the pleasure of being a part of for so many years.
