Kids Planet Salford

My son has special needs, it was hard for us both the first day but I saw how nice the staff are and I said that he will definitely be in good hands and so he was. They welcomed my son with open arms. Thank you very much for supporting him. The best nursery! I'm glad I chose Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Salford.

We all want the best for our munchkins, I believe I found the best nursery. While touring the building, the staff was professional, answering my 1001 questions, showing the CCTV camera and safeguarding system in place, and explaining how my daughter’s day would be. It was reassuring, but I was still emotional on her first day. It was the caring staff (most of whom are mothers themselves); who reassured me, explaining that I could call the nursery or download their parent zone app to check on my child. It was a blessing to connect to the app and have a photo and video of my child enjoying indoor and outdoor activities and to know what she ate. Fast forward from 2019; my child is still there, because of the caring staff, the observation reports on the app and the fantastic communication skills from the management. I enjoy the quick account of how her day went at the pickup. I am still emotional at the drop off only because this time my child cannot wait to let my hand go to get to the nursery.

We currently have 2 children who attend this nursery and are extremely pleased with the care they receive. The staff engage with the children from the moment we drop them off at the door and give good handover information when we pick them up. Both children are very excited to go to nursery and happily tell us about the things they have been doing during the day. The nursery uses an online app that helps us feel connected to the children while they are attending nursery. The meals provided by nursery have always been excellent - and the kitchen staff were happy to accommodate a milk allergy. We would definitely recommend!

Thank you

I definitely go to work feeling assured that she is safe and happy.

Absolutely lovely staff both in Toddlers and Preschool groups. My child needed more time to get used to the nursery, but they all seem to be super helpful and great with kids. You must be proud of the amazing job you're doing!

We are so happy we chose Kids Planet for our little one. We've been impressed how they've handled the Covid situation and know our child is in a safe environment. The social, creative and physical activities have proved invaluable in our child's development, the staff are so attentive and give good feedback. The food (made on-site) always sounds amazing too!

My little girl has just recently started this nursery this week due to such short notice that I gave them. They were so helpful they made me feel so comfortable from get go, am very confident that my daughter is going to be looked after. Over the day and a half she’s spent there she’s come home so happy, speaks very highly of her teachers. Very happy with the experience with this nursery.

Excellent nursery and lovely staff. My daughter has been going there since she was 6-months-old and loves it, although it will be her last week next week before she starts reception! She is really going to miss it and all the staff. Brilliant nursery. Would highly recommend.

We absolutely adore the staff and the facilities at Kids Planet. Our daughter started there just before her first birthday when I had to return to work and she has thrived there over the past 13+ months. We are kept fully informed of her care and development via the app, daily conversations at drop off and pick up, emailed assessments, parents evenings and Facebook updates. We always feel informed and confident, and it is clear in our daughter’s behaviour how much she enjoys her time at Kids Planet - she comes home full of stories about her key workers and friends. We specifically chose this nursery due to its convenient location for our commute, its Outstanding rating from Ofsted and its focus on outdoor play (since our daughter would spend her whole life going on muddy adventures if she could!). We cannot think of any aspect of Kids Planet that does not meet the high standards that every parent has for the well-being, safety and learning environment of their children.

My daughter loves being there and has formed a great bond with the staff that look after her. Leaving your child is a very daunting thing but I feel confident and comfortable leaving her in the nurseries care. The staff are friendly and helpful.

I am very impressed with the staff and management of the Kids Planet Nursery in Salford. Friendly, experienced and very dedicated. I am so grateful that I found this nursery and they put my son on their records straight away. I am very impressed by how quickly we did it. We moved to Manchester from Hemel Hempstead (close to London) where parents need to put their child on the list at least a year in advance to get a place for them. We had to wait six months until they found a free place for our son. Ridiculous. Our son is two-and-a-half years old and a cheerful little chap and he has never been in nursery before, so we were struggling a bit with him. We found an incredible team of dedicated staff who constantly strive to improve the care and environment for the children. They are also always available to parents for advice and support. Don't forget to look into their Ofsted report which is outstanding. Thank you.

This nursery and all the staff are approachable, professional and my little boy loves it here. He has made lots of friends in the pre-school room and has settled really well. The only thing I would say is that he was allocated someone who I presume is the lady who my little boy is most confident with and I've only seen her once when I've picked him up in the four sessions he's been in there. A little more information on what he's been learning throughout the day and what his learning plan is would be brilliant. And maybe a few more updates on what he's been up to throughout the day on their app. Other than that, he really looks forward to going and I can see how much he's coming on. He's very happy here.

I am happy I chose this nursery. Certain members of staff take their time to make me feel comfortable as my daughter took a while to settle and it used to trigger my anxiety. They would go out of their way to help more and distract my daughter. I do think there is room for improvement in some areas. The coat hooks are never correct and we have lost a few items of clothing over time. Some staff tend to be just sat around rather than being active and joining in with the children with the activities. And I think some rules are not followed. For example, one day recently I brought my daughter into the nursery and she brought an apple up from reception. She was told to sit at the snack table as she couldn't go into the other half of the nursery with her food. Yet a few seconds later a child appeared with a bread stick out of the other side and also another with an apple. I didn't quite understand this? However, its a shame names cannot be mentioned because there are some amazing staff too.

My son started here in the baby room in June 2019. I was extremely anxious about returning to work and leaving him. Within the few months he has attended, he has developed so much. The staff are fantastic with him, I find it very reassuring when he puts his arms out towards his key worker. My little one really does like it there, he’s safe, cared for to a high standard and most of all the staff really care about the children and go the extra mile for them.

My daughter loves attending pre school here, the staff are excellent and friendly. I don’t have any concerns when she’s there and I love being able to log into the parents' app to see what she’s been doing throughout the day. She’s learnt so much since being there and it has massively helped her get ready for school.

My daughter loves going to nursery and is constantly talking positively about her minders and how much fun she has with her friends.

I would highly recommend Salford Kids Planet. Both my children have been well cared for by the same staff over the years and I never worry about their care whilst I am away from them. The nursery has a homely feel and is well run by the team of staff. They always provide well-balanced meals and great activities for the children.

My little boy started at Kids Planet when we first moved to the area back in March. He has moved from toddlers to preschool recently and at first, he really struggled to deal with the change. The nursery were really good in making sure that he had a plan in place to ensure the transition was smooth. Now he has been there a few weeks he absolutely loves it and his development is incredible. We get a written report daily and updates through the app about what he has been up too and what he has for dinner! I’m very pleased with the management and senior key workers.

My son has special needs and they have accommodated him with arms wide open. I was afraid to leave him but I feel so assured that he is in the best hands. He seems to love one lady in particular and she is a beaut with him. Couldn't recommend this place enough and my son's new bestie.
