Review from K M (Mother of Child) published on 22 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery, motivational place. I love sending my children to know they’re happy, content and well looked after. With thorough handovers after each day I am able to leave knowing my child has had the best experience possible.

Overall Experience

A nursery that has staff that care for the children like their own! My son goes to swimming lessons, yoga and Spanish lessons! The grounds are amazing. He goes in there skipping each morning and comes home so happy! He is well cared for and some learning opportunities take place linked to phonics, ensuring readiness for school!

Review from Mouryane O (Mother of Child) published on 6 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been going to Owls for around two years; she thoroughly enjoys it and is always excited to go - even when we pass at weekends, she wants to go in!
The staff are lovely, always happy to help and are brilliant with the children. It always feels like im chatting with friends, not my child's teacher when I pick her up.
I also love the fact that the children have the opportunity to have swimming lessons, which speaking to my friends, is uncommon in nurseries, but is a skill that I feel is important to learn.
They have a lovely outdoor play area and always have special days in the month celebrating different events from all over the world where children dress up, cook and do fun activities whilst learning about the history and cultures that surround the day.

Overall, I highly recommend this nursery, I am sad that my daughter will be leaving in September to go to primary, but I know that the staff at Owls have prepared her well for the transition.

Overall Experience

My son is so happy here, after starting when he was 7 months old. He beams in the morning when he arrives and it has made going back to work so easy knowing how well looked after he is. Communication from nursery is wonderful and I really do feel like the staff love my little boy.

Review from Laura G (Mother of Child) published on 31 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Kids Planet was the obvious choice for me, as so many of my friends and family have sent their children there with such positive experiences. Both of my children have made such wonderful memories and formed incredible relationships with both children and members of staff. I couldn’t have wished for a more safe, fun and loving environment for them to grow in.

My children have been at the nursery since the end of 2021 and we have been increasingly impressed with the care. Attention and professionalism from all staff. We moved them from a different nursery and the nursery is truly fantastic.

Review from Lisa D (Mother of Child) published on 18 November 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The three girls that run lower pre-school are outstanding. My boy talks about them a lot. He always looks forward to his nursery days. His confidence has really come along leaps and bounds. The girls are always responsive to my requests for his learning needs, and set appropriate goals for his age level. The new makeover of his nursery room is lovely, I really like all the new wooden toys and that they're always playing outside when I pick him up.

Very pleased parents, would highly recommend.

Overall Experience

My son loves going to nursery at Kids Planet Blackrod. He is always excited to be dropped off and has a big smile on his face when collected. He is stimulated, entertained and challenged. The staff are very friendly and approachable. They clearly have a close bond with my son and encourage him to achieve his next goals. I am always kept informed of his daily activities and his progress. Thank you to the amazing staff who take good care of my son.

My child has settled so well in the toddler room, he is so well cared for and the staff look after him so well. They keep me well informed of his activities each day and I feel they all know him so well.

He is so happy here - they're great!

Review from Jill R (Mother of Child) published on 18 November 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My experience has been very supportive. My child has struggled with settling into the different room, but each key person has supported her through these transitions. If I have ever a problem the management staff have always dealt with in a very professional and supportive manner. I am very happy with the nursery.

Absolutely fantastic nursery with the best staff we could ask and hope for to care for our daughter. All staff seem happy and extremely caring when looking after our child.

Our daughter has been attending Blackrod since 9 months old - she is now 3 and we would choose this nursery again and again.

Review from R P (Mother of Child) published on 18 November 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

All staff are super friendly and helpful. My child enjoys coming to nursery each day. I feel the learning is good but would like to see more development review on the app along with things we can work on at home. The staff take safeguarding seriously, on occasion they have to double-check who is picking up as sometimes it's a new person. Nursery is always clean, despite messy kids! The only grumble I have is it is quiet expensive. There are cheaper alternatives in my area, but as it's on the way to work and my child loves it, I wouldn't want to move,

Review from V B (Mother of Child) published on 15 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The team at Kids Planet Blackrod have cared for my child for the last 4 years, and over those 4 years the care we have received has been outstanding. The team are just fantastic and have made the early years so much fun at Kids Planet. From the moment we viewed the setting we knew it was right for what we were looking for. We have built great relationships with the team and we knew our child was being looked after in a safe, fun, kind and caring environment.
