Review from C H (Mother of Child) published on 16 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Amazing nursery, my son first joined when he was 9 months old and on Friday had his last day at nursery ready for school in September. The staff are amazing and were wonderful with my son, it's been lovely to watch him move from each room in the nursery, from the baby room right up to pre-school. He has enjoyed the messy play, baking, learning new things every week, but most of all the staff. If I had to do it all over again I would definitely choose Kids Planet nursery.

Reply from Louise Carr, at Kids Planet Durham

Thank you, he certainly is a huge miss from all of us.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Do Re Mi for over 9 months now. We are really happy with the nursery. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The food is healthy and varied and has improved his eating a lot. He gets to do lots of great activities which he enjoys so much and really help his development. He loves the staff and runs in smiling to see them. Most importantly my son loves going; he walks in with a big smile on his face in the morning and comes back so happy. It helps me to know he's in safe hands and so happy there.

Overall Experience

This really is an amazing nursery. The staff are all lovely and go above and beyond for each child. My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and she has such good connections with each member of staff. There are so many great things available to the children and the staff treat each child as their own and make every nursery day so much fun.

Overall Experience
The staff in the explorer room are excellent! My daughter comes home each week saying the staff are her best friends.

My only negative is I find the nursery not accommodating at all in regards to changing days occasionally.

Reply from Jane Todd, at Kids Planet Durham

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I'm sorry that we are not always able to swap days, it is usually due to complying with staffing ratios and available spaces. Your little one certainly does love the staff! They work really hard to go the extra mile and build really special bonds with the children.

Everyone in the nursery is so friendly, welcoming and professional. My little girl loves going to nursery. It is so important to find a nursery where you feel your child is safe and I highly recommend Do Re Mi.

Overall Experience
Our daughter has been attending Do Re Mi since she was 10 months - she absolutely loves it and so do we. Would highly recommend their service.
The staff are wonderful there, they are friendly, caring, patient, thoughtful, creative, compassionate and very innovative. They always go that extra mile to provide the best environment, experience and care for your child.
Our daughter has learnt so much there, we will truly miss Do Re Mi and the wonderful staff when she moves to primary school in September.

Thank you for everything Do Re Mi, we could not have chosen a better nursery to nature our child.

Our son is thriving at Do Re Mi Day Nursery. He's confident and polite. He also talks about the staff at home and seems excited to attend. He comes home with cute creations and we are grateful for the attentive teaching style. Thank you!

Overall Experience

I cant fault the nursery. The staff are second to none. My son goes in with a big smile and comes home the same way.

He loves the activities they do. Everyday is something different. They are also outside most days regardless of the weather. They get wrapped up and wellies if necessary and they spend time outside.

My son has come on leaps and bounds since joining Do Re Mi and enjoys every day hes there.

Overall Experience

I would not have my son anywhere else! This is an amazing nursery with caring and nurturing staff who have made my son feel so safe and welcome. The staff go above and beyond every session to provide curious and meaningful learning opportunities that are tailored to the age and stage of the children. My son has grown in confidence in the short time he has attended and loves to go to nursery! He especially enjoys the musical approach of the nursery, which is something totally different from any other nursery we looked at. The staff capture special moments to share which is lovely to see when I’m at work and we always get a great handover at collection detailing what he’s been up to.
