Kids Planet Knaresborough

Would highly recommend the nursery, certain members of staff have been really helpful and are always willing to go above and beyond, this has shown with the way my daughter is around them and has built good bonds with what as a parent is good to see and know, the only downside has been my daughter has had no fixed key worker in her first year due to staff leaving, the staff she has had acting as her key worker who have been new to their role are learning from the more experienced staff who work professionally. But I have been extremely impressed with the person who will become her key worker when she moves up to the next group this coming month, he has really taken time to introduce himself and has really shown interest in my daughters well being, coming from a highly professional care background myself I can not fault the nursery.

Friendly, well organised, well-staffed nursery with excellent facilities. My granddaughter has settled in really well and seems to be very happy. I enjoyed having the opportunity to visit the nursery to see where my granddaughter was being cared for when I am not able to look after her. It was good to meet my granddaughter’s key worker.

Nursery very accommodating. Staff so friendly. One member of staff, in particular, is so good in regards to my son. Always feel happy and confident he’s in a safe, positive place when I leave.

Our boys (now 4yr and 2yrs old) have been at Twinkles full time for just over a year. Both settled extremely quickly into the happy fun environment where we know they are looked after so well. All the staff have such an interest in the boys and what they get up to. We always feel well informed about their progress and staff will always listen when we have questions or queries. The boys love going to nursery and have made some lovely friends. They always talk about nursery when at home and excitedly tell us what they have been up to during the day.

My daughter has been going to Twinkles for 2 years, she loves going. I have always been well informed in her development and progress. The staff are all very approachable and I feel those who are looking after her day to day know her. She frequently talks about nursery at home and all the fun things she has done during the day, which make the guilt of working full time much lighter, knowing her days are full of varied activities. I also enjoy being updated while she is at nursery with uploads to their online portal.

We feel that our child is comforted, reassured, challenged and encouraged when he is there and is given the opportunity to learn new things and explore new emotions in a safe way. He has developed strong positive attachments to the kind-hearted, enthusiastic members of staff who really do make Twinkles what it is.

We have encountered a couple of minimal concerns, which have been addressed swiftly involving thoughtful discussion with us about how best to support or child at these times. One little niggle would be that the outdoor space, we wish there was more of it! However, we knew this when we chose Twinkles and I wouldn’t let this sway our opinion.

I can’t fault it, any problems are swiftly sorted! Highly recommend to all my friends with children.

I have 2 children at Twinkles Knaresborough and have been very happy with their care. They are happy there, well looked after, do good activities and eat well. One of my children has allergies and these have been well catered for.

My daughter has been going to Twinkles Nurseries Knaresborough since September. She has grown in confidence and become more independent. She shows a keen interest in learning and developing new skills. She has developed lovely relationships with the staff who she talks about all the time. The new manager also seems actively involved with all the children. I think she is my daughter's fave - at least that's who I always have to be when she is "playing nurseries" at home!

My daughter has been going to Twinkles Knaresborough for nearly 2 years. The staff are friendly and approachable. They offer a variety of learning opportunities and activities. The standard of care is very good. I have no worries or hesitations about my daughter's care/safety. I can definitely recommend Twinkles Knaresborough. Thanks!

Twinkles Nursery Knaresborough really offered me support when I had to return back to work when my son was 5 months old. Their friendly staff, environment and procedures in place for the children gave me the confidence that my son would only benefit from the attention he would receive here. My son is now 14 months old and is thriving in Baby Stars. He has made some buddies and enjoys all the learning activities put on by his key worker. Twinkles management team are extremely efficient with their communication and discussing any matters you as a parent may have. The management team are always looking for ways to improve the nursery and take on board any parent feedback. This is really important when evaluating which nursery to send your child to - you always want to have a door open if needs be. We cannot rate this nursery and their facilities high enough, our son enjoys the time he spends there and I know he will miss it when he heads to big school!

We have always been happy with the service provided Preschool and then using after-school club services. There is a modern approach with good outdoor space.

Twinkles is a great nursery. My little boy loves going and asks every morning ‘Is it a Twinkles day?’. He is well looked after and has formed good relationships with the staff. He has a good group of friends of whom he loves playing and interacting with. He enjoys playing outside and going out and about in the summer months. My son has a dairy allergy and is well catered for at nursery, he enjoys most of the meals and has actually become much more willing to try new things since starting at Twinkles. I am glad we chose this nursery.

All staff at Twinkles are really friendly and helpful and have helped my daughter settle in really well. I always get an end-of-day recap of some of the activities she has been involved in and how she has been.

Twinkles have also helped him become a better eater as he used to be quite picky but because Twinkles offer a wide variety of food there is not much our little boy will not try - although he is still not overly keen on vegetables!

We are 100% confident in the care he receives and the stimulating learning environment captivates his young mind in a variety of ways.

Twinkles is excellent, I wouldn't consider anywhere else. My daughter loves coming here and she adores the staff. We always get a warm welcome and she never wants to leave. She participates in a large range of activities and is always teaching us a new song she has learnt at nursery. It always smells delicious from the home cooked meals too which she loves. I would definitely give a 5* rating.

The facilities are fantastic, really clean and spacious.

Overall they are like family.

Our 20-month-old daughter is really happy at the nursery. She is progressing really well and I am constantly impressed at her understanding and vocabulary. She is able to develop her social skills hugely at nursery and this is portrayed in her daily life outside of the nursery.
