Review from Hannah O (Mother of Child) published on 1 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our one year old boy started nursery at Kids Planet Lepton in March this year. We were nervous about this change to his routine and how he would settle in but we didn't need to worry as he is loving his time there. The staff have been great and the updates on the app are really helpful to see that he's developing everyday. We would definitely recommend the nursery to other parents.

Overall Experience
Fabulous nursery.
My little boy just recently went downstairs to pre school room. He's attended Kids Planet since the baby room at just 7 months old.
The staff are amazing and really look after and care for the children.
They are really good at communicating and accommodating to the needs of everybody.
We really love sending him here as we know he loves it too.

Thankyou to all staff.

Review from Emilie P (Mother of Child) published on 28 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with the experience. To start with I was very apprehensive about having to send my child to nursery, however from the very first day the staff made us feel welcome and reassured. I've noticed such good progress in my daughter's confidence and independence since joining. She absolutely loves going each morning and sometimes even cries when it's home time! They do lots of activities with the children like creative arts, outdoor play and story time. The communication is brilliant, we get regular updates through the app and some lovely pictures during the day too. I can't recommend Kids Planet enough, it's like a second home for our little one.

Overall Experience

Such a genuine, lovely nursery! All the staff are so attentive and leave such an impression on our daughter, she knows all the staff by name and always talks about the activities she does each day she is there. The management is amazing and we never have any issues with anything and if we did we know it would be dealt with appropriately. Our daughter has been there for over two years now and she loves it and so do we. We would recommend lepton to everyone!

Kids planet Lepton is an incredible nursery setting which I highly recommend. My daughter (who has sen needs) is consistently supported by every single staff member at the setting from the moment she arrives till her pick up time. The manager Lauren and dep Laura go above and beyond daily to help in any and every way and are a credit to the nursery. Thank-you Kids planet Lepton!

Review from L H (Mother of Child) published on 28 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am really happy with how the nursery cares for my son and daughter. My son really struggles with drop off but the staff are very supportive and try to get him settled down with kindness. My daughter is in the baby room currently and enjoying the different activities provided. I can tell she has learnt some songs at nursery as she sings lots at home now. I think the nursery provides a good range of different and imaginative activities for the children. I would recommend.

Review from H S (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

When we moved house, I was worried my eldest would struggle with a change in nursery, but I shouldn't have been! He loves Kids Planet Lepton, and all the staff have been brilliant. He has made some lovely friends and the staff show so much care in his learning and development. My youngest also now attends and is doing really well. Again, the staff are so good with him and you can tell they really care about providing all the children with a safe and secure environment where they can develop skills and also have fun.

Fantastic setting, all staff are amazing and always go over and above to make sure my child is happy and settled. Very experienced.

They are happy to support with anything you are encouraging at home too, such as potty training, change to nap routines etc. I would recommend this nursery without any hesitation.

Review from S D (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our first thing is how amazing the staff are both collectively and as individuals. From our child was at 18months old until now as she is preparing for school this year (scary) the staff have always been friendly and approachable. They are all very clearly committed and the bonds our child has made with them is amazing.
The nursery itself is amazingly laid out and the constant changes to activities and provisions for the children show they are following the children's interests and learning goals.
During her time at Kids Planet Lepton our child's speech has improved amazingly from being referred to speech and language at 2 years old, to now not requiring any further assistance is just amazing for us and shows the staff have really focused on furthering our child's skills.
We are so happy that our child has attended this setting and will be sad when her journey with you comes to an end when she leaves for school.

She always comes out saying she has had a great time.

Review from Richard B (Father of Child) published on 11 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Aspen started attending Kids Planet in Lepton in December 2024. Although he's only been there a matter of weeks, the friendly and attentive staff have clearly worked really hard to help him settle. We always receive a warm welcome, even when it's dark and late, four members of staff in particular, and the rest of the team, have always taken the time to pass on lots of relevant information and keep us informed. There is a really positive atmosphere every time we visit with clear routines and structure. Aspen appears to have already made good progress with his communication and physical development in a short space of time and has clearly developed some really positive relationships with his nursery family. We are really glad we chose this nursery!

Thank you.

Reply from Kids Planet Team, at Kids Planet Lepton

My amazing child has been going to the nursery for over 3 and a bit years. The manager there is the best, she goes above and beyond for the children and company.

The deputy manager also goes above and beyond for the children. My daughter always brings nice pictures home and cards for birthdays, Christmas etc. Thank you Kids Planet Lepton.

Review from Katy G (Mother of Child) published on 7 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my daughters have thrived in Lepton Kids Planet thanks to the excellent, high quality care that not only includes basic level care, but actively encourages children in their development. My 3 year old will be here for another 2 years and I know they will tailor their care and support to her as the individual she is and not expect her to fit a more rigid approach. I am so happy I chose this nursery to look after my children. I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone looking for a nursery, you will not be disappointed.

Very happy with how welcoming the staff are, not only to my son but to me also. Very helpful and informative with any questions I had. Very happy with the settling-in sessions, and my son is loving his time at nursery. Nappies and formulas are also included in the fees, which makes life so much easier.

My daughter has been coming to Kids Planet Lepton since she was eight months old; she has always had a fantastic bond with the staff - particularly her key workers throughout her time in the setting. The manager goes above and beyond every day and puts so much love into what she does; you can see that she doesn’t just stay in the office but is hands-on in every aspect of the nursery, which shows that my daughter absolutely loves her!
