Review from Ewelina K (Mother of Child) published on 29 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As a mum, I couldn't ask for a better nursery for my son. The staff are so kind, caring, and genuinely invested in every child's happiness and development. He's settled in so well, has grown in confidence, and comes home with a smile every day. It's such a comfort knowing he's in a safe, loving environment where he's encouraged to learn and have fun. Thank you to the whole team for everything you do. I'm so grateful and would highly recommend this nursery.

100/10 for kids planet!
I have 2 children, my first has left because she is starting reception, she was sad to leave but still says hello to all the staff she knows when she drops her brother off in the mornings.
My youngest is 2 y/o so he is in the toddler room. He is always met by a friendly face in the morning, sometimes he is upset when I drop off but he settles well with cuddles and playing with cars. When I collect him staff reassure me that he settled within a couple of minutes of me leaving.
Even though this nursery does not have direct access to an outside area the children are taken out each day, my children have visited local parks, playgrounds, garden centres and soft play.
We are kept up to date with what they are doing (sleep/nappy/food) on the 'app' there are also observations posted on there so we can see at home what activities he has been doing at nursery.

I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone, we love it

Overall Experience

Lovely people who I trust with my children. Everyone is caring and trustworthy and the app is great for updates and staying in touch. The only improvements I would like to see is the actual facsility improving in terms of outdoors but they do regular outdoor trips to make up for that and It would be great to have more updates and pictures throughout the day but I appreciate time constraints with all the little ones they look after. Everyone has been really supportive through family changes and at every development stage with our eldest so we are happy here at Kids Planet.

Overall Experience
Taboo subject- I want to express my admiration, respect and eternal gratitude to Kids Planet Duston. A personal year of family challenges. Separation and bereavement. Elle-Chelsea-Rachael, especially. My child- my family , all supported, cared, loved and motivated-more than any role requirement. T&C' in childcare with humanity, community and sense of family love for my child , dynamics certain to impact, didn't .

Childcare has never felt so safe, familiar and caring in our journey. A business that naturally displays its values, becomes family extensions a safe space , trusting, honest & personal. What more could a parent want for their child? True partnership in our babies care, being the only importance. 3 kids- 2 attended best regional statistical and reviewed Nursery. I got a lot of information- never the content displayed , felt, demonstrated, with certainty, my child is loved, cared for and enjoying their time just as I would as parent.Thats priceless. Thank you Kids Planet Dust

Overall Experience

This nursery is absolutely amazing!! All of the staff are incredible, they look after my babies like they are their own! They have had such a positive influence in my two little ones (2 & 4 years old) development and lives! They are supportive, and helpful! They have been so understanding and patient as both have had difficulties with being separated! I honestly don't know what I would have done without all of them!! Thank you! They have such fun and learn so much! Xx

My little girl has been going to Kids planet for over a year. The staff are very friendly and approachable. My little girl loves it there, and we love the fact the children go out and explore every day.

Overall Experience

All three of my children have been here at this nursery. Many of the staff have seen my babies grow before starting with Kids Planet. Very happy memories here. My girls love coming to play. They are able to express there imagination to their full potential. Every day the come back with exciting news of what they have done and achieved. There food is amazing. Not only have they helped to develop their minds, they have also helped me. The staff are so friendly, it's like home from home. Couldn't be more prouder of the amazing staff who help my girls shine
