Overall Experience

Honestly so lucky to have found such a wonderful nursery for my son, the staff here go above and beyond to make sure your child is thriving by supporting them every step of the way. Julie and Sarah are a credit to this nursery and I couldn't not put into words how grateful I am of everything they have done for our family the last 12 months. I'm so happy my son gets to spend his days here. Thankyou girls for everything

Perfect place for our son. He has utterly flourished, learned so much and been completely supported by the wonderful staff (Julie, Seren and Charlotte). We are so happy with the environment, dietary requirements, learning opportunities and staff.

Review from K J (Mother of Child) published on 16 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My children have been attending Kids Planet Brynford for almost 18 months. The staff have always been very welcoming and caring. The management team is helpful and tries to be as accommodating as possible. For example, my eldest child's school was shut at the last minute so she was unable to attend her nursery class. I called management and they were able to create a space for them to attend the pre-school class for the day. My children have made lovely friends at this daycare. The children take part in a number of crafts and on fine days, are sometimes taken on a walk through the village to the local park. Kids Planet Brynford offers a holiday club for school holidays, which is a great addition as we work full time. I would recommend Kids Planet Brynford to any parent in the local area.

Overall Experience

My daughter and son have both attended Kids Planet Brynford since they were just 8 months old, five days a week - and honestly, I don't even know where to begin. This nursery is so much more than just a childcare setting; it's truly an extension of our family. The entire team is incredibly caring, loving, and supportive. As first-time parents, we had no idea what to expect, but Julie, Helen, Charlotte, Claire, Caitlyn, Helen, and Holly guided us every step of the way. They not only cared for our children beautifully but also offered us advice, reassurance, and encouragement whenever we needed it. Ady and Azy absolutely love going there - their faces light up with smiles every time they see their carers. The staff are wonderfully qualified, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. We couldn't have asked for a better, more nurturing environment for our children to grow, learn, and feel loved.Thank you all so much!We will forever keep these memories in our hearts

Overall Experience

Me and my daughter are throughly enjoying her time at kids planet. The staff are wonderful, kind and helpful. The day to day activities are fun and help the children develop their skills such as climbing, water play and going on walks. I love how important they make nature and the local surroundings. They have excellent healthy cooked food which I was very pleased to see which has helped my daughter try other foods.

Review from Courtney E (Mother of Child) published on 9 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Kids Planet Brynford since January 2024. From our first visit, to settling in days and those first weeks of our new routine, the team were totally reassuring and we became confident of our son's safety and care very quickly.

The staff at the nursery are what makes the place. All staff make a real effort to get to know the children, whether in their care or not, and this shines through when our son moves up to another room and is already familiar.

The children are outside whenever possible which is a great bonus, each room has their own outdoor space, and the surrounding countryside makes it a beautiful setting for when they go on their pram walks to the park.

Our son has been come on leaps and bounds since attending and each morning at drop off he doesn't look back! That tells us all we need to know.

The nursery itself is always clean, well maintained and warm. There's even tea/coffee at drop off for parents!

Thank you Kids Planet Brynford :)

Review from Natalie M (Mother of Child) published on 7 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our little boy has been attending the nursery since May 2025, when he was just 12 months old, and we couldn't be happier with the care he has received. Now at 16 months, it's amazing to see how much his development has come on in such a short time. He's thriving, learning new things every day, and his confidence and independence has grown so much.

The staff are absolutely wonderful - so warm, friendly, and genuinely caring. From the moment we walk in, we always feel welcomed and reassured that he is in the best hands. They take the time to really get to know him, and it's clear how much they care about his wellbeing and happiness.

Most importantly, our son loves going to nursery. He's always happy when he's there, and it's wonderful to see him thriving in such a supportive, nurturing environment. We are so grateful to everyone at the nursery for the brilliant start they are giving him.

Overall Experience

We've had such a lovely experience with Kids Planet. From the beginning, the team made my son feel welcome and comfortable, which really helped us both settle into the new routine.

One staff member has been especially wonderful - so kind and supportive, and really helped me feel at ease in those early days. Her warmth and care made all the difference and my son clearly feels very happy and comfortable with her.

The app is brilliant - I love being able to see what he's been up to, what he's eaten, and all the fun activities he's involved in. It's such a lovely window into his day.

The nursery itself is in a lovely location, with a bright, clean, and engaging space that he really enjoys. Since starting, we've seen such a boost in his development - especially with his babbling and early attempts at talking, which have really come on!

Review from Danielle G (Mother of Child) published on 10 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have two children who attend Kids Planet Brynford - Were local to the area and it has excellent report which is why we chose this nursery, I can honestly say it has lived up to expectations and more.

Our eldest child has attended since she was 8 months old (2021)and now graduating to school - She has loved every minute and the staff have been exceptional with her. The staff in each and every room have made the transition very easy. She will miss coming each week. Our youngest is currently in babies/tots she settled straight in and now walks straight in and is very happy there.

There is a wide variety of food and caters for all - no complaints from our children so heads up to the in house cook.

Being based in a rural setting there are lots of sheep , they go out for walks to the nearest park in the pram which both girls had loved. The outside play areas are well equipped for each room and they are very interactive and hands on - our girls have thrived in this nursery.

Thank you

Overall Experience

I have nothing but positive words to say about kids planet brynford! My daughter has absolutely flourished in their care and she loves being cared by the staff during the week. She has a wonderful relationship with all the children and the staff and is super excited for when its half term and she gets to spend all day in the nursery. She has become such a confident and well rounded young girl and I think Kids Planets and the care they provide has massively contributed to this over the past 2 years that she has been in their care. I've never been disappointed by the nursery, they're super engaged and communicate very openly with parents. They really do go above and beyond for the children in their care. My daughter loves the different themes in the rooms, especially the dress up corner and the babies. She leaves nursery very well fed and is very fond of the cook! She hasn't spent her whole time in childcare in this nursery but if I could change anything it would be enrolling her earlier

My two children have been attending Kids Planet, Brynford since 2021. It is such a lovely nursery, the staff are amazing in all of the rooms. Particularly one of the staff members in Toddlers and another in Red Group.

My daughter missed attending once she started school and I know my son will feel the same next year.

Both the manager and another specific staff member are always very helpful and go above and beyond for the children, nursery and parents.

Overall Experience

We've been part of this nursery for years and absolutely love it. Our 8-year-old went here, and now our 4-year-old attends a couple of mornings a week, before being walked to school by the staff, such a helpful service! She also loves the holiday club. Our nearly 2-year-old is in the toddler room and is so happy there. The staff are warm, friendly, and genuinely know and care about each child. Everyone makes an effort to say hello in the mornings, room staff and management, which really means a lot. We get regular photo updates and daily info, which we love. The meals are great, the outside play area is amazing, and the whole environment is so nurturing. We couldn't recommend it more.

My son has been attending this nursery for a year now. He is very happy to attend and always has a big smile on his face at pick up. Staff are attentive, reassuring and compassionate. I feel he is developing socially and cognitively through the structured activities this nursery provides. He enjoys the meals, which are balanced and nutritious. I feel confident in the care my child receives at this nursery.

Kids Planet Brynford has a lovely and calming environment which I think is perfect for my baby. The nursery staff have been extremely supportive and accommodating, which I have found really helpful. They post frequent updates of meals, activities etc, and they also post photos which I find really reassuring.
They offer the babies a range of activities, such as sensory play. Overall, the nursery is lovely and I feel like all of the babies are really happy to be there.

Extras, the nursery is extremely clean and modernised. The food menu is always great with lots of healthy options.

Overall Experience
My son has been going to Kids Planet Brynford since December 2023. He absolutely loves going and rarely looks back when I drop him, which says all you really need to know.
Having transitioned from the baby, tots and into toddler room, all of the staff have been amazing. The team at Kids Planet have played such an integral part of my son's development, seeing huge leaps in his confidence and communication skills. He has made lots of friends there and they all seem to get on so well.
We get frequent updates during the day on the app, and the food menu always looks great. I just wish he would eat like this when he is at home!
We are very happy to continue to use Kids Planet knowing that our son is safe, well looked after and is learning and developing all of the time.

A special mention to the two managers, who are always approachable and are quick to respond to any query we have.

The best; loving, caring nursery for miles. Absolutely fantastic care and staff in all rooms. I have 3 children and will be starting my 3rd in toddlers soon and my other two sons love their time there. They always come out so happy and the staff take all my worries away. There aren't words to describe how fantastic each and every staff member is including the chef who prepares the most delicious meals! Wouldn't want anyone else looking after my little ones. Everyone goes above and beyond for your children and I would be lost without them.
