My son has thrived since joining Kids Planet Preston. All the staff are welcoming, nurturing and engage the children in great learning experiences. They have created an amazing safe environment and truly care about the wellbeing and development of every child.
Thank you for your kind words - these really do mean the world to us
Fantastic nursery. Caring and efficient staff. Always have different activities for kids promoting their skills on all aspects. I highly recommend kids plant nursery. They have done a great job with my son who had a bit of difficulties in speech at the beginning but they have taken a professional approach and now his speech skills have improved greatly.

Amazing nursery, my daughter has formed very strong bonds with the staff in the toddler room and I feel that her development has improved drastically. They helped with her potty training very much! I couldn't have done it without their support.

We have had a fantastic experience at Kids Planet Nursery with our son. He has always loved attending and found wonderful connections with staff members who have made his progression through from 10months old through to preschool age an enjoyable experience with people who he enjoys spending time with and care for him. He especially loves the sports activities and has learned some great life skills that will support him in his next stage of learning. We will be very sad to leave when the time comes.

My baby (not so much now) has been attending kids planet Preston for over 3 years, my experience of this nursery has been fantastic. As many parents may relate, at first I was apprehensive leaving my then 11 month old was difficult, however the staff were amazing with my baby girl, they have increased her confidence in ways I couldn't have done on my own and for that I am very thankful. Her key workers through her transition through the three rooms have been amazing and she throughly enjoys her time there!

Fantastic nursery. Both our kids have progressed so much and love it there. Staff are lovely and friendly, very understanding if you're running a couple of minutes late!
Food cooked on premises and is very healthy.
Excellent communication though app, regular updates about how kids are doing.
Whilst I am sure there nurseries that look smarter, you can't fault the care/education through playing that the kids get.
Can't recommend highly enough.

Our 3 year old has been coming here since 14 months. She has loved every room she had been in (babies, toddlers and now pre school) her current key worker Rhys is amazing with her, has her outside as much as possible playing sports in any weather, is firm with her when she can be picky at mealtimes which she absolutely needs! He's great, so are all the staff there. She asks to go to nursery on the weekend sometimes. Love Fulwood Kids Planet!

Always feel so welcome by all the staff that work here. They are all so caring which is so reassuring for you as a parent.
My daughter has come on so much since starting here last year. She looks forward to going each week.
I also love the updates we get on the app.
Can't wait to send my youngest daughter here and see how much she comes on in her development.

The staff are really kind, patient and caring to our boy and he is thriving in the nursery environment.
Special mention to Kirsty the manager who is always on hand to deal with any queries big and small. We would recommend Kids Plant to any parent looking for nursery for their child.

Staff are very welcoming and warm to all of us every morning and afternoon.
His speech and learning has rapidly improved since moving up to toddlers and general confidence in himself.
A pleasure to leave my children with the staff and the environment that is always so happy and welcoming.

One of the best nurseries around Preston. I wish I moved my son there earlier!! Management and room staff are both excellent and keep you informed on everything on a daily basis. My son has developed so much in such a short time there. I couldn't fault the nursery. So accommodating and welcoming!

The team goes above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment. We are constantly impressed by the variety of activities offered to the children, and how well they support each child's individual needs.
Communication is excellent and we are kept well informed about our child's day, staff are approachable and happy to talk through any concerns or questions.
Our child has thrived since staring nursery at Kids Planet Preston, and we cannot recommend it highly enough.

When we went to look around Kids Planet I instantly got a good feeling, all the staff were very helpful and went out of their way to make her feel welcome. My daughter then started in the toddler room just before her second birthday and is now in the preschool room. She absolutely loves going to nursery here. She does lots of different activities such as sport, crafts and role play. She's always excited to tell me about her day and what she has learnt. The nursery keeps you updated by the app which is extremely useful and always takes time to tell you about their day at pick up time. We are invited into the nursery on a regular basis to share in the children's learning. It's amazing to see how confident and how much she has learnt and grown while attending Kids Planet. My other daughter has now started in the baby room, they have helped so much with her transition. Kids Planet really do go above and beyond for their families.
Thank you so much for your kind words they do mean the world to me and the team here
I didn't think twice about sending my second daughter here after my first throughly enjoyed herself. Both my daughters have attended for 4 days a week and the nursery have been great with them both! The nursery as a whole has been what I wanted for my children, it's welcoming, provides everything they would need and beyond. The staff are beyond helpful and answer any queries I've had about my daughters day to day activities! All in all when I drop and pick my daughter up she has a smile on her face!
The nursery manager always made such an effort even arranging parent events to help bring communities together.
We are always met with a friendly welcome when we come in and my daughter is greeted with open arms. Seeing her comfortable with staff makes me feel reassured. If we have an issues we feel we can bring this up with the staff and the managers.
