Kids Planet Nursery is a truly special place. The caring and creative staff have nurtured our daughter's confidence beautifully. She skips in every day with a smile, always excited to share what she's learned. We are so grateful for this supportive and joyful start to her education!!

Overall Experience

Absolutely amazing nursery all the staff are lovely, really brought out my sons confidence and they couldn't do more for him, I couldn't be happier about where he is. I orginially wanted him to go to a preschool of the school he would be attending but can't bring myself to take him out of this nursery because they are incredible.

Review from Helen C (Mother of Child) published on 25 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I haven't got a bad word to say about this nursery.
It is a clean, child friendly environment and you're always greeted with a smile. My little girl is in the baby room and she has settled very quickly. She loves going into nursery and loves the girls that work in that room, especially her key workers. I am always updated with her meals, toileting and sleep every day she's there. I receive lovely observations with plenty of picture and video evidence.

Whenever I email the nursery I always receive a reply within days and they're always so happy to help. They celebrate lots of world events like world book day, Down syndrome day etc which is very inclusive and it is lovely that my little one is involved with these special days at such a young age.

My daughter absolutely loved this nursery! Amazing staff and atmosphere, plus a lot of unique learning experiences, like hatching butterflies to understand the butterfly life cycle. Couldn't recommend the nursery more.

Overall Experience

Kids Planet Whiston have given me nothing but complete confidence in that we've made the best choice for our child. It is clear upon entering the nursery that the staff are highly qualified, trained and have all the skills needed to complete their duties comprehensively. staff have a great relationship with both children and staff alike and are always available to help, talk or assist with any queries or questions.

We have seen non stop development in my child since joining the nursery and her Key workers have been incredible in keeping us updated with her progress.

I cannot speak highly enough of the nursery and would recommend any prospective parents looking for a place to visit on the open days.

Overall Experience
Kids planet have been fantastic since we very first arrived at the door enquiring if any places were available. My son had a terrible experience at a previous nursery & the staff at Kids Planet were quick to secure us a place so he could begin a much better nursery experience. My son settled in immediately & has loved every minute since. We get daily updates & pictures which is a lovely way to keep up with his progress & see how much fun he has with his friends.

I couldn't recommend kids planet Whiston enough.

Review from N S (Mother of Child) published on 15 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 3 babies attend Kids Planet Whiston and all started at the nursery at very young ages. I was very anxious returning to work but felt a sense of reassurance leaving them with the staff at the nursery. Every member of staff is friendly, approachable and can see they enjoy their jobs and provide excellent care. The management at the nursery is brilliant i have never known a manager to get so involved, knows all the children, parents and stops every day for a chat and is always getting her hands dirty doing bits of DIY around the nursery.

I cant fault the nursery at all, my babies love it and i feel at ease dropping them off every morning and when collecting them they are so happy and have had so much fun.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending since Oct 2021. She is now in pre-school and happily skips into nursery every day. The manager leads a fantastic team. I get regular feedback and the atmosphere is always so warm and friendly from the staff and other parents. My daughter has moved up from the toddler room with ease and enjoys learning new skills and joining in new activities.

I am so happy that I picked Kids Planet Whiston.

Overall Experience

My daughter has settled amazingly at the nursery and is always happy when there according to staff. When she first started posts were very regular. However recently they have been sporadic which makes it unsettling for me as a parent. Food posts go on once she's home which makes it hard to know if we need to give her tea or not. Sometimes on handover, we get a vague "she's been good".

Review from Kirsty T (Mother of Child) published on 25 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery for both of my children. I have 1 child in baby room and 1 child in pre-school. Amazing staff in both rooms. My little girl in pre-school is a very shy personality and very attached to her parents. The manager and the team worked with me and dad to help to settle her in and finally the tears have stopped. She loves pre-school and her friends, she talks about the staff at home so positively and she is thriving really coming out of her shell with the right support from the team. My little boy settled in from 11 months old without any issues at all. He is always happy and smiling when he sees his teachers.

Review from L K (Mother of Child) published on 25 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Staff are friendly and welcoming along with the nursery setting itself, staff always take the time to welcome children into the rooms each morning and make the time to tell me how my son has been throughout the day and what he has eaten. Staff regularly update the app throughout the day, we particularly appreciate the photo updates. I can only speak for the baby room but there are ample of choices for the children to explore throughout the day and a large outdoor playing area, which my son loves. The meals and snacks throughout the day are always varied. The staff interact well with families and are always keen to involve us in any events that are coming up. We are very happy with the nursery and how our son is getting on.

Review from Laura H (Mother of Child) published on 25 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All of the staff at Kids Planet Whiston are friendly, kind and caring. The nursery has a great atmosphere, and is always full of fun and love. Both of my daughters have had the best nursery experience I could have ever asked for. The food is great, with plenty of variety and the nursery is always clean and tidy. The Forrest school is a great addition to have on-site and the children are able to go on trips out to the local park regularly. The Practice Manager is extremely hands-on, and very much involved in the children's care.

Overall Experience

I cannot speak highly enough of the staff of Kids Planet Whiston. My son loves going to his nursery, and since starting he has absolutely thrived. The staff are wonderful, kind, and caring women and I cannot thank them enough for the care they give my son. He eats well, they manage to get him down for a lunchtime nap (please tell me how?!), and he has so much fun. The staff update us regularly, and if he has been unwell they have contacted us promptly to let us know. We loves Kids Planet Whiston, and cannot recommend them enough.

Overall Experience

We have been with Kids Planet Whiston since they began running this setting and have had nothing but brilliant experiences. The staff are kind and knowledgeable and have helped both of our boys grow and develop. Our oldest has now left and is thriving in school. Our youngest still attends Kids Planet and is growing in confidence day by day! The setting itself is beautiful with high-quality toys and equipment (including the beautiful wooden kitchens and story arches!). Thank you to all the staff.

Overall Experience

My child is very happy and loves going to the nursery, especially with the staff who know my child and his needs. The staff are incredibly proactive, especially the way they supported him through potty training - their patience and consistency made the process so much easier for us all. It gives us great piece of mind knowing he is in such a nurturing and supportive environment. We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our child receives and would highly recommend.
