My little boy attends breakfast and after school club. The staff are always very welcoming and friendly and they tell us how he has been. We also get photos to show us what he has been doing in the session. He enjoys the food there and will often have seconds! My little boy enjoys going.

Overall Experience

My daughter is always so excited to go into nursery. The staff are so welcoming and kind. Nursery is always clean and has lots of activities set up for the children every morning! The staff take the children out to the local shops, park and on trips to the beach, on the tram. My daughter has made some lovely friends there and speak about the staff all the time. The app keeps you well informed about everything. Any issues are dealt with quickly and effectively.

The staff have been great with my child. They were the 1st to notice that he possibly suffered from autism, they put all the necessary procedures in place for him and have gone above and beyond with his care. Don't know where we'd be without them.

Reply from Janet Waldermar, Manager at Kids Planet Anchorsholme

Thank you we are here to support as much as we can, its a pleasure to see how much everyone comes on and the pleasure each child brings.

My daughter loves going to nursery and from day 1 we have always felt reassured. The staff and managers are always accommodating and on the ball. They always listen and take the time to talk to us and update us on my daughter's progress. I feel very confident when my daughter is at nursery as I know she is in the hands of great staff! Thank you to you all, you do a fantastic job and it's noticed and appreciated!

My two boys attend this nursery and it has been amazing to see how much their confidence and development has grown. The staff are supportive of our needs, prompt at resolving any issues and no problem is too much. My boys enjoy the messy play and their amazing outdoor facilities as well as going on day trips/walks.

Review from T K (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My child came to this setting after being at another for 3 years. The distance they have come in such a short amount of time is a testament to the staff at this setting. Not only in development, but in social skills and confidence. It is always a worry not being with your child, but I feel nothing but ease whilst they are here.

Overall Experience
The staff are great with my little boy, he settled in so well when he first started (which hasn't happened in the past).

He loves his toys there, meals, whoever is looking after him, they take the children out, which I love, the kids are happy. If you have a request, they are happy to try. The courtesy calls are great and the safe guarding, even getting in the building is strong, which is great to see. 8/10

Reply from Kids Planet Team, at Kids Planet Anchorsholme

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so happy your little boy has settled in so well-it means a lot to know he's happy and thriving with us!

Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves coming to Kids Planet Anchorsholme. When she first started, she was very tearful and upset when going. The baby room worked really hard with her and she absolutely adores coming to nursery now. She can't wait to get in! She is always busy and happy when she is there. The team are so caring and loving and I know that my little girl is safe. She has come on leaps and bounds in the 3 months she has been attending and has learnt so many new skills.

After facing a price increase at my child's first nursery and being let down by another we contacted Kids Planet Anchorsholme where her brother attended. Don't know why we didn't come here in the first place. Easy to enrol, great facilities and my child fitted right in. Love it.

My child is currently in Tots and is really happy. He chats all about the ladies and tells me about his day with his friends. I'm really happy with how he has come on and he really loves coming to nursery. I'm really happy with the updates on the app and the photos sent, my child is happy, so I'm happy.
