My child has been at Kids Planet since she was 9 months old. She is now in preschool. The manager and her team have made mine and my child's time at nursery memorable.

I would recommend this nursery to anyone!

We are very happy with the care our child receives. She is happy to go in each morning and she has gained so much confidence. The nursery also cares so much about the local community and the whole family, this is something I really value.

Overall Experience

My little boy has just started at Kids Planet and they have already made me feel so much at ease with leaving him in their hands, the app is amazing and lets me see every tiny detail about his day. The nursery is about a 15-minute drive for me but it is so worth it compared to all the others near me!

Review from R B (Mother of Child) published on 23 February 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

It is really a wonderful experience what we are having every day from Kids Planet Preston. My son recently moved from India and has a language barrier, also I was really worried about how he would cope in the nursery with new people, language, exposure, food everything... in the beginning he was nervous to go to nursery for the first two days and later on he is so excited. I can see the wonders he is experiencing every day in the Kids Planet when he is describing how his day was in the nursery. The main attraction I felt is that the Parent Zone app which is giving the details of how the kid is, what he eats or he refused and how he is doing all those upto date information gives me a relaxed day as a parent. Overall, all the staffs are really supportive and helpful. Kids are really enjoying the new planet where they are spending time with caring people with lots of fun.

Review from J C (Mother of Child) published on 23 February 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have two children attending this nursery who are thriving and developing all the time. The staff are lovely and welcoming and anything that is asked, advice is always given as well as them supporting what is put in place at home. Our children have such a good rapport with each staff member in their rooms and enjoy coming to learn, particularly enjoying the outdoor learning. The app is perfect for informing us about their day as well as being told on collection. Would recommend this nursery for those looking.

Review from Linda M (Mother of Child) published on 16 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is a fantastic nursery. From the first day we went in we felt that it was a cosy and nurturing space for our little girl. All of the staff are warm and friendly and passionate about their work and the children they look after. I am updated on her activities regularly via the app and the team update me every day on what she has been up to and how she has been with genuine interest and care. My daughter loves her nursery, is learning every day through lots of different activities and she has developed a lovely bond with all the staff. I would not hesitate in recommending this nursery.

Review from Charlotte C (Mother of Child) published on 31 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We moved our son at 19 months old to this nursery following a bad experience at another local nursery group. It has turned out to be a blessing, his development has come on so much in such a short period of time. He has fitted straight in and absolutely loves it, so much so, he was knocking on the door at a weekend to go in! As an outdoor boy, we love (and he does) that he gets to spend time outside every day. It is such a friendly and welcoming environment. The staff are all lovely and have been extremely supportive in settling our nerves and anxieties from the previous nursery experience. Highly recommend this nursery to everyone I speak to.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Kids Planet since she was 8 months old. She's nearly 3 now and she's absolutely thrived due to the nursery. The staff are incredibly caring and passionate about what they do. They provide a wide range of activities and different things to do and provide daily updates via an app. The manager is fab as well and has been a real godsend over the years. I honestly couldn't recommend the nursery enough.

Review from Gemma S (Mother of Child) published on 31 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 2 daughters love this nursery and so do I. The staff are wonderful and make sure my girls feel comfortable and settled when I leave them. The staff are the heart of this nursery, so warm and welcoming, they go above and beyond imparting knowledge on them and I'm happy to leave my girls in their care. The garden is a wonderful outdoor space and I love the fact children go out every day. They also go on local outings to the nearby park and library, I think this a great way to teach independence and my daughter loves to tell me about her adventures out of the classroom. They recently had a fire engine come to nursery, which my daughter loved and she recalls the experience whenever she sees a fire engine.

The nursery also holds events for parents, including first aid courses, which I found very helpful, and Mum's night in nights, fantastic for my mental health and connecting with other Mums. I love this nursery and will be sad to leave it when they start school.

Review from E S (Mother of Child) published on 19 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has attended Kids Planet since she was 11 months old (now 2) and she absolutely loves it! She thrives at nursery and has come on so much. Each room is always really well presented and topic-focused, I’m always kept up to date on her progress and get to see lovely pictures of her on the parent app. The staff are what make the nursery really special and all have a great relationship with my child and me. They are kind, polite, always smiling and always put the children at the centre of everything they do. They always have time for any of my questions I may have and always take the time to listen if I need any help. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

Both of my sons go to the nursery. Staff are very professional and courteous. They go above and beyond their role to help the children. Both of my boys are very happy and they have learnt a lot. I recommend the nursery to any parent who is looking for an excellent nursery.

Review from Steph C (Mother of Child) published on 14 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is a fab nursery and my youngest son is so happy there. My eldest also went through the nursery and I didn’t hesitate to sign up my youngest. The staff are amazing, really get to know every child and support them all as individuals. In fact, it was nursery that has helped my youngest son get help with some developmental issues meaning that the whole process has been very easy and straightforward for me, they have taken out a lot of the stress and supported us as a family. Also, the way they have continued with his development in that time has been exceptional. They do a wide range of activities (including painting so he has “nursery clothes” now lol) and he has the best time there. We couldn’t be happier.

Overall Experience

I can't speak highly enough about this nursery. Management are so supportive, our son adores all of the staff and we have seen him flourish in this nurturing environment. He excitedly runs in every morning which I think says it all! When we've had questions about his health/wellbeing or development we've always received helpful and supportive advice. Great environment, the food is balanced and nutritious and there are lots of activities. Thanks, Kids Planet!

Review from David P (Father of Child) published on 3 April 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My son loves going to nursery, which is the biggest compliment we could give.
He has a terrific bond with the staff that work with him, and that is because of the care they give. We get informative feedback everyday. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming.
I struggle to find any major criticisms, but I guess the car park could be bigger and the costs slightly less (but that would be the same at any other nursery).

I would not hesitate to recommend Kids Planet Preston to any parent!

Overall Experience

My son really enjoys going to nursery. I love checking out the parents app to see what fun he has had and enjoy asking him what he did with his day. I know he is learning lots whilsy he plays. The nursery teachers keep me up to date with everything that is happening. They are very supportive with potty training my son. I attended 'Mum's Night In' which was really good and a great way to meet other mums.
