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.
The staff are very attentive and genuinely care.
I like how they make an effort to get the children out and about in the community.
It's lovely to see them flourish and make bonds with both the staff and their peers.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are so pleased you are happy with the care we provide.
He struggled with eating solids and nursery have been so so patient and encouraging he eats the most with them than he does anywhere else and its fantastic.
The women in the baby room are so lovely and they are so loving with my son, hes generally only comfortable around me and my husband but he clearly loves them and they clearly care for him so well. Hes grown so much in confidence.
Our daughter started at Kids Planet Longbenton in May 2025 and our experience has been wonderful! You can tell everyone there really cares for the children they look after and are passionate about proving them with the best care possible. Our daughter loves getting involved in all the activities offered to her and loves to explore outside. The care offered is child focused, they are encouraged to do what they enjoy. Alongside this her development as sky rocketed with their support, definitely putting her in good standing for when she starts school. Sending our daughter to Kids Planet Longbenton is one of the best decisions we have made for her.
My daughter absolutely LOVES going to nursery and I put it down to the amazing members of staff!
I was so nervous about sending her in as she went from when she was about 11 months old but from the get go she really enjoyed it
You can tell they do so much with the children and such care goes into everything they do
Our daughter has been attending Kids Planet Longbenton for over a year now and loves it! She always comes out of nursery full of joy. She started when she was 15 months old and I remember how apprehensive and anxious I felt about it. But from day one, I felt reassured that she was somewhere safe and that the staff would take good care of her. I love hearing about all the different activities they do and seeing how my daughter has thrived in this environment. I've also always appreciated being listened to and how attentive both the staff who take care of her and management have been. They really do a fantastic job!
My twins have attended this nursery since they were 8 months old. We felt so comfortable with it from the beginning and I knew I wanted them to go there, this was before it was owned by Kids Planet. Nothing has changed since the change in ownership, the staff are all lovely and I am confident that my children are getting a rich educational foundation while being surrounded by lovely people and a fantastic environment.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We appreciate your support and love caring for your lovely children.
The nursery has been a safe haven for our daughter to learn and grow. She has blossomed into an intelligent, sociable and curious girl with confidence and joy. The staff at the nursery have been like a family to our daughter and she loves them very much. We could not be happier to have put our trust in these caring individuals, who have guided our daughter through the most formative years of her life.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It really means the world to us. We wish her lots of fun and happiness at school.
Good value for money. Amazing staff and experience for my child.
My experience of the nursery has been amazing. Couldn't have asked for better staff to take care of my child.
Fantastic nursery, great staff :)
Wonderful nursery, very attentive and proactive in relation to my son's needs and progress.
I have my two children at this nursery and couldn't recommend it enough. I know they both love their days at nursery and they are blossoming. They receive so much care, love and praise, enabling them to develop so well. Thank yoy for making their first years so special.
Staff are amazing, don't do themselves justice how good the nursery is run. Little boy always comes out happy speaks volumes.
Amazing staff, always informative and keeping us updated. Our daughter has progressed & developed really well and has loved being here & loved the staff.
Kids Planet is an inclusive, relaxed nursery that prioritises child care with lovely, friendly staff.
The nursery has been excellent with my son. After a year together I was nervous with his transition but the staff were amazing; they ensured my child was comforted and supported and he quickly settled in. Can't thank staff enough for making this an easy transition. Handivers are througher and pleased my son is in kind and caring hands. Communication is also great.
Great, feel my son is looked after and enjoys his time at Kids Planet. The staff make him feel welcome and safe to explore. They do an amazing job in the tots room.
Let down with how missing properly was handled by staff - no remorse, felt like I had to push for updates.
Amazing! Love all of the team. A particular staff member was made for this job,

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.
