Lovely, friendly staff. Always happy to see our child, baby comes home happy. Great facilities and daily fun activities.
Staff and learning activities are great.
Exceptional staff who have made my son feel family. We are so happy our son is part of this nursery. Staff deserve a pay rise. :)
Our son loves his time at nursery and they have really helped him to develop his language.
My son has been coming here since he was 11 months old and we both absolutely love it. His language and skills are beyond what we'd expect for his age and we attribute much of this to his time at nursery. He's made some lovely friends and the range of activities is great. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery, the staff treat him like family, and we know he enjoys being here which gives me peace of mind.
Been with nursery for 5 years, overall nothing but positive experience. Staff have gone out of their way to help out with additional needs for both of our children. Fully recommend this nursery.
I just wish we could see more pictures with him enjoying the days at nursery.
Whilst the care is great and he has fun, signing him up into nursery, deciding starting dates and days for him were a challenge.
Our daughter has settled in very well in the nursery. All of the staff are really welcoming and made great environment for my child. She is really bonded with me and I was really worried that she won't like nursery but she just needed a couple of sessions and she started to be comfortable with the nursery and staff. It's good to see her happy staying here when we are going to work.
I do think there could be more done for the older children
The cost of food for each child is extortionate. I have two children at this nursery and pay almost £40 per day to feed a 4 year old & a 1 year.
The ladies who look after the children are lovely and care about the children.
Nursery Communication has declined and fewer emails are sent. Notice boards are being used instead.
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We're happy to hear about the parts of your experience you enjoyed, but we also love to understand how we can improve. Your thoughts will help us to keep getting better, and we truly appreciate your input.
My child loves going to nursery. She has the best time and loves to tell me all about her day. The staff are excellent and so engaging. My daughter's speech and development are constantly improving. Since the transition to Kids Planet, there has been a lot more communication and the visits outside into the local community are fantastic. Thank you, Kids Planet.
My daughter has been at Kids Planet since June 2024, and she settled in very quickly and she's been happy there since. All of the staff are so lovely and build personal connections with the children.
My daughter has been going to the nursery since she was 1 and is now 3. I can't fault the staff. They are very helpful and my daughter loves them. Her communication skills are second to none and I believe this is from spending time at the nursery.
My daughter started at Kids Planet about 3 weeks ago. I've been so impressed with the level of care of the staff. I would say the care and kindness of the staff are what has impressed me the most. My daughter has settled so well and that's because of the staff. The handover at the end of the day is really helpful and I love seeing all the lovely foods my daughter has eaten too. Naps were a bit of an issue for my daughter but just after 3 weeks at nursery, this has improved at nursery and at home. The one thing I'd like to see slightly more of is the Golden Moments on the app but if I ever message on the app there is always a swift reassuring reply.
The nursery is fantastic. They have supported our child as her special educational needs have emerged. All the staff care so very much about our child and are really engaged in her progress and development. The staff are a real credit to the nursery and if it wasn't for them, our experience would be very different. One thing is that the new owners could communicate better the changes with parents. Also they had promised a coffee morning with parents which has not happened.
Our little girl absolutely loves coming to nursery. The staff are just lovely and it feels that they really care about our little girl and know a lot about her. She comes home from nursery talking about what she has done with the staff and her friends. We have had a few incidents where our little girl has been bitten by children in her class, however, the staff have tried to deal with these incidents promptly and helped us feel reassured as parents that she is safe.
The nursery provides a safe and welcoming environment for my child. The staff are caring and attentive and the facilities are well-maintained. My child seems happy and comfortable there. Overall, I am satisfied with the experience so far.
The staff at the nursery are fantastic and our son loves being there. He's been in the baby and tot's rooms and loved both. He gets so many activities and we've noticed huge developments in him since starting nursery. Thank you to the amazing team!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, we are thrilled your son is enjoying his time at nursery so much.
Our son loves nursery and regularly doesn't want to leave! The care for him has been outstanding and his learning and development is clear.
Thank you for your amazing feedback, we all really appreciate it.
Both of my sons have attended the nursery since they were a year old. We're very lucky that its on your doorstep but we 100% have chosen it anyway. The staff are all lovely, patient and kind with the children (and parents!). You can tell they all love their work. Both boys have thrived in the nursery and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other parents.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, we appreciate it so much.
Since the change to Kids Planet we have been thrilled with the communication with the nursery and the new pick up/drop off system. My little one always has a great time and loves all the staff.
Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback, its really lovely to see.

Meet the Team (1)
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.
