Review from D B (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I've loved this nursery ever since my daughter started this time last year, the staff are lovely,

helpful, friendly and supportive. My daughter has thrived in so many ways since attending here and most importantly she really enjoys it, she comes home with a smile of her face every single day.

I find the updates on the app very informative.

The children eat a wide variety of meals which really helps them explore different textures and flavours, my daughter usually has seconds!

I highly recommended this nursery.

Overall Experience

My little boy started at the beginning of March. The staff are lovely and friendly which makes it so much easier when leaving him for the 1st time. It's only been a couple of weeks but he loves it, the staff in the baby room always make a fuss of him, he's always full of smiles when I drop him off in a morning. This is the reason I chose Kids Planet. Fab nursery.

Review from J C (Great-grandmother of Child) published on 26 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I take my great-grandchildren to nursery for my granddaughter. This is the 2nd child to attend this nursey. I could not fault them in any way. The staff teach them so much, they are caring and attentive. They go out on lots of adventures which makes it exciting for the children and different from just playing in the nursery. Great variety of food and plenty of it.

Review from Ricardo A (Father of Child) published on 12 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The CCT for the baby room is still not working, since October.
The baby is well cared for.
I thought my son would have more incentive in some aspects, my son is 16 months and still not walking, I know it is hard to take care of 3 babies, but I believe this is possible to force him to walk more.

But overall it is good, my son loves the nursery and he is well cared for, he loves his nurses.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate the feedback. We are glad to hear your son loves the nursery and we will continue to encourage physical development through playing and exploring. Thank you again.

Review from Megan B (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Staff are caring and some activities available to help with learning and sensory needs. Wide range of foods available. Stay and plays are great.

It would be helpful to receive more updates on the app, sometimes this is a little delayed and we don't always receive a lot of photos which we love to see, it would also be good to meet with key workers before children move on to the next room to discuss anything such as potty training/current needs. More learning activities would be good to see such as counting, letters, etc. in the rising three room to prepare for pre-school.

Review from Cheryl S (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We've found kids planet to be an excellent nursery for our daughter who has attended for 2 and a half years from 8 months old. It's a lovely nurturing, safe and secure environment that she enjoys being at. There is a wide variety of activities and she frequently goes on trips with her group. Her key workers have always worked with us to encourage her development at all stages.

Review from R J (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son is in the Tots room and I can see him come on in by leaps and bounds. All the staff are amazing, so friendly and kind that we've never had any issues when dropping him off and on some days he doesn't really seem keen on going home with us either.

I love the snapshots throughout the day of some of the activities the children do throughout the days. I can't imagine taking him anywhere else or leaving him with someone else. Thank you all so much for making the life of a working mum less stressful.

Overall Experience

My daughter attends this nursery in the baby room. She seems settled and happy and the staff are always friendly. She has some extra needs due to surgery for hip dysplasia and the nursery are very accommodating to her needs and happy to work with her physio. I highly recommend this nursery and the baby room!

Review from A D (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son took some time to adjust to the tot's room but there were a few specific staff who really put time and effort into getting to know him and making him feel safe and comfortable there. He regularly tells us about his day and names the staff he has a close bond with which makes us feel really happy about him being there. He loves all the activities that the staff plan and is excited to attend each day.

Review from K S (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter goes into nursery happy which is very reassuring for us when dropping her off. She is full of stories about what they have got up to in the day. She will be starting reception in September and we are confident she will make the transition smooth with the skills she has learnt whilst attending Kids Planet.

Review from K A (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
After viewing around 6 nurseries in the Great Sankey, my husband and I settled on Kids Planet. My little girl started in October 2024 and has been like a duck to water. The staff were very accommodating with booking in settling in sessions. The staff in her room are so lovely and welcoming. They really do have my daughter's welfare at heart. Nothing is too much trouble. If I have any questions the staff/office staff are always on hand to answer.

My daughter eats a wide range of foods (I wish she would eat them at home too) and she always comes home saying what a lovely day she's had. It's by no means the cheapest nursery but you really do get what you pay for. I'm so glad we picked Kids Planet.

We came to Kids Planet after our nursery closed. I was very nervous and I couldn't have been more wrong!

My daughter has progressed so much, particularly in the Preschool room! They can't do enough for her!

An amazing facility, can't give them enough praise! My daughter has been attending since November 2023 and after a very short period of settling in, was so excited to get to nursery each day (even at only 1 year old!). We love to see the app updates and hear all about the variety of activities they get up to.

My little boy loves nursery and he really enjoys the outdoors and trips that Kids Planet provide. Such a lovely experience. He's developing really well and so settled here. All staff are so caring and I couldn't ask for anyone else to care for my child.

I have a lovely bond with his key worker and staff. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone I know looking for childcare in this area.

Since my child has started it is clear to see he absolutely loves it! Big shout out to all the Tots team. The girls put so much effort in and it's clear to see. Big shout out to my child's key worker, who goes above and beyond. He is always talking about her at home and I love all the moments on the app!

The management team are all lovely and nursery is lovely.
