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.

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Our child really loves coming to nursery and having fun with his peer and staff.
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.

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.

Review from S H (Mother of Child) published on 23 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.
