Fantastic nursery. All the staff are completely invested in my children's early years education and development.
Kids Planet has been a great experience for my daughter. They have helped her grow in confidence and make friends. She shows keen interest in all the activities, and I feel she has been well-prepped for reception.
Excellent staff! Great atmosphere and very supportive!
We couldn't be happier with Kids Planet. We're so at ease with the care and attention our son has here, and he absolutely adores the team - says his goodnights to them each night too!
Kids Planet is a caring, warm environment for my son to be in. He is always so happy to be at nursery and this is a testament to the lovely staff. He has come on so much with his speech and singing. Thank you!
Overall Kids Planet Longbenton is a great environment, the staff are very personable and have a great relationship with the children, including my older child who has left and started school. Communication is fantastic. The facilities are great for a child's development.
Brilliant staff. All very helpful and friendly.
We continue to love having our children at Kids Planet. We have always had positive experiences from all the staff and have had amazing support when needed. Our children have thrived in this nursery and I couldn't recommend it highly enough.
All staff in the tots room are so kind and caring - they always greet us with a smile! They know our child so well and always have her best interests at heart! We feel extremely comfortable leaving our child with them - they are fantastic!
Absolutely over the moon with my sons progress over the last few months due to the support from the amazing staff. The facilities and rooms are amazing and so accommodating to each stage of development.
We've always been extremely impressed with Kids Planet. Lots of attention to detail, varied classes, and our child always has a great day. Staff genuinely care.
Our daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery. The staff are all amazing with her. All so lovely towards her. Her development within the last year has been brilliant, as has her confidence. She has also made some lovely friends. She always says she has the best day when she is here. All the staff always give great feedback about her days and development.
Our little boy absolutely adores nursery! He always puts his arms out for his teachers, full of smiles and so much progress. I wouldn't put him anywhere else.
Our son has developed so much at nursery. The staff have been brilliant - they genuinely care and are invested in his development. Where a challenge has arisen with our son's behaviour, they have worked collaboratively with me and my husband and have been patient. There are loads of activities at nursery, and our son loves it. Thank you, Kids Planet.
My daughter has a great time at nursery. She has made friends and is developing physically and learning loads with the varied resources that the nursery offers. She is our second child at the nursery.
Thank you for taking time to give us such lovely feedback.
A wonderful experience with Kids Planet Longbenton. Both of my children have had a wonderful time. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we appreciate it so much
Staff have made sure they've built a positive and meaningful relationship with my little boy. He excels in the toddler room and has opportunities to explore. play and thrive. Staff are always friendly and informative upon pick and nothing is ever to big of an ask.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, it is always appreciated.
He really enjoys spending time with staff and the time they spend with him is reflected in his development.
We have full confidence in the staff and the assistance they give our child.
Thank you so much, we really appreciate your feedback.
We could not be happier with the nursery. The level of care, love and attention that both our children have been getting over the years has been amazing. The staff are wonderful and always greet us and our children with enthusiasm and smiles. Our children have always gone in happy and come back home full of stories of what they have been up to.
Both of my children have attended kids planet nursery. My daughter, who is now in school, absolutely loved it.The staff are so nurturing and kind towards the children and they helped to build a solid foundation for her school years. My son is currently at the nursery and he has special educational needs, with many aspects of his care being challenging at times. The nursery staff, his key worker and the Senco have been incredible. There is a genuine desire to do their absolute utmost to help support him and us as his family during a difficult time. I genuinely dont know what we would've done without them and they feel like part of our family now. They are working tirelessly to help prepare him for school in September, the problem being I dont want him to leave! An all round fabulous nursery for children to thrive.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we have loved caring for both your children! We really appreciate your feedback, you will all be a huge miss.

My name is Kate and I am the Manager at Kids Planet Longbenton. I have worked in childcare for over 20 years achieving my foundation degree in Early Childhood studies. My childcare journey started as an apprentice at age 16 and over the years I have gained lots of experience, working my way up and eventually, I was promoted to manager in October 2023.
I love being involved with all aspects of nursery life seeing how happy and content the children are and how seeing them grow and learn in our caring and nurturing environment.
We look forward to hearing from you and showing you what our nursery offers.
