Kids Planet Heddon-on-the-Wall

My daughter has been attending Kids Planet Heddon-on-the-wall since she was 11 months old & she turned 3 in March. I can't recommend this nursery enough! The bonds my daughter has made with other children & the staff are so lovely to see - In particular her previous key worker Eve & current key worker Brooke! Both girls take the time to provide thorough updates of her day each day & they know her inside out. They have supported her through every milestone & are an extended part of her "family". We are even splitting her time next year between school nursery & this setting as we know how much of a comfort it is for her to still be there. Looking forward to hearing more about her time as a "preschooler" & watching her thrive there even more!

Kids Planet Heddon are fantastic. My little boy has been coming to this nursery since he was 1. The girls have helped massively with his toilet training too. The team at this nursery are truly amazing. They take on such a huge responsibility every day with care, patience, and dedication, and it never goes unnoticed. It's an incredibly important role that deserves far more recognition for the impact they have on both children and families. Knowing my child is in such safe, capable hands gives me real peace of mind and allows me to work without worry. I'll be forever grateful for everything they do. My little boy loves everyone there including his sports coach..thank you xx

My son has attended this nursery for just under 2 years now. I cannot fault them. He runs in because he loves it that much. All staff are great but would like to especially mention Abbie, Fran, Hannah, Fay and Caitlyn who I feel have went above and beyond for my son and making me feel at ease since the day I first left him there when he was 9 months old. Couldn't recommend a better nursery.

Our baby started here at around 10 months old and we were and still are impressed with how amazing they treat our girl. In particular, Hannah and Faye have been so attentive. Hannah is always so organised in the mornings and always asks how everything is. Faye was our daughters key worker and she built up an incredible rapport with her. Our daughter will jump into her arms in the mornings. Anyone would be lucky to have this team.

Our son has been attending this nursery since September 2025. Being first time parents we were initially apprehensive but we had absolutely no reason to be. The staff completely put our minds at ease and always provide regular and in depth updates both via the app and at pick up/drop off. Our son absolutely loves going to nursery and it's very clear he has comes on miles developmentally from being in this environment. The food served is fresh and well balanced nutritionally and he really enjoys all of the outdoor activities/excursions into the village!

It is evident every single staff member truly cares for all of the children which is lovely. He has recently transitioned up a room but his key worker from the baby room Faye deserves a special mention. Her enthusiasm and care for not only our son but all the children is evident and our son absolutely loved her.

Overall we couldn't have chosen a better setting for our son!

My son has been attending Kids Planet Heddon on the wall since September 2025 when he was 9 months old. He is now 15 months old and I'm glad I chose this nursery for my son. Im a first time mam so was worried and apprehensive about my son starting nursery so young but the staff were lovely with my son and he settled in very well. He loves going now and is well fed there. He has learnt loads and nursery has contributed towards his development greatly. His key worker Hannah is great, all the staff are lovely. I would recommend this nursery.

Our 15 month old has been attending kids planet Heddon on the wall since August and he has settled so well. The transition was well organised and staff are very professional, kind and communicative. We are confident our son is getting excellent care and he loves going. He gets to experience a wide range of activities, is well fed with nutritious home made food, gets consistent naps and always come home happy. Are so pleased with our choice of nursery.

The staff at this nursery have created a safe, nurturing space where my daughter has truly flourished. They have been brilliant at fostering her development across the breadth of the Early Years curriculum - from managing emotions and building vocabulary to early reading, mathematics, physical and social development. The daily social interaction here has meant the world to her; she is now confident, well-rounded, and talented. The phonics scheme in particular has been a great match for her interests. I firmly believe that without the dedication and hard work of the staff, she wouldn't be doing so well or thriving in the way she is. We are incredibly grateful.

Kids Planet has provided a fantastic setting for our children to thrive. They got to experience a range of activities, have social interactions and care and nurturing from the team. When joining primary school, the skills my son developed at nursery have set him up brilliantly. Our daughter Sienna is currently in the Tots & Toddlers room, and she is so happy at drop off & pick up that we feel really happy and confident with her time at Kids Planet Heddon. The bond she has developed with her key worker, Fran, is very special, and you can tell she means a lot to Sienna. A huge thank you to Fran and all the team for creating a safe environment for our children to enjoy.

He is in the toddler/tots room At the moment, The staff Abbie, Fran, Charlotte & Adriana are amazing and always are so enthusiastic and seem so happy to see each child when they arrive, I feel confident leaving my child although he gets upset the staff provide cuddles and reassurance to ensure he settles. When I pick him up he is always happy and a thorough handover is given, there are lots of activities and often they visit the local area and park which my son enjoys. Would recommend to anyone.

The staff are always very friendly, they haven't changed since we started 5 months ago and every time he sees the ladies who look after him there's a big smile on his face. I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone.

My little girl has been going to this nursery since she just turned 1 and she's nearly 4 now. The staff are all so welcoming and really care about your child. My daughter is leaving for 'big school' in September and I know she's going to miss going here so much. She has come on leaps and bounds since joining and I always feel like she is in safe hands when I drop her off each morning. We already have her little sister signed up for when I return to work from maternity leave.

My little girl has been going to Kids Planet Heddon on the Wall since she was 10 months old (she's now 20 months), and we honestly love it. She's quite shy, but the staff have been so kind and patient with her - she's really come out of her shell. She's had two key workers since starting, and both have been amazing, making such a difference in her confidence. Her speech has come on leaps and bounds since starting, and it's been so lovely to see her growing and developing. She always comes home happy, and it's great to see all the fun things they do. Can't recommend it enough!

However, the best thing I've found about our experience is the care our son receives when he is sick. The staff will do as much as possible to keep him in nursery which is a massive help as a working parent.
