Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lytham Lodge Kids Planet Day Nursery is an absolutely outstanding provision where children will thrive. My older child was lucky enough to spend his preschool year here, they set him up beautifully to start school, giving him all the tools that he needed to move on with ease.


My younger son has

attended Lytham Lodge for around 18 months and in that time the care he has received is absolutely 2nd to none. He has cerebral palsy and has recently developed epilepsy. All of the staff at Lytham Lodge have cared for my son with unlimited adoration , respect and professionalism. They have kept in regular contact with his medical team and have willingly undertaken extra training, allowing us to feel confident they can continue to meet his changing needs.


Hannah has proactively supported us through behaviour concerns, choosing a school, administering rescue medication, identifying seizures, applying for multi agency support and much more, we are so grateful.

I can honestly say as parents we love everything about this nursery, from the set up of the rooms, the facilities including outdoor play, the meals, cleanliness and staff - our entire experience has been wonderful.


The staff, including management go above and beyond to help and ensure our children,

as well as us parents feel completely settled, comfortable, reassured and safe. My child absolutely loves going to nursery and I can hand on heart say I'm more than happy each day dropping off, knowing my child will be thoroughly looked after, cared for and genuinely have a good time. The activities are fantastic and my child has developed so much - never a dull day!


You honestly feel like part of a big family, it is everything I would want for a child and I couldn't recommend enough!

My daughter attends holiday club and my son is currently in the baby room. I cannot praise the staff enough. They make the nursery feel like a home from home for all the children. My daughter attends during the half terms and can't wait to reunite with her friend that she met at nursery.
I would recommend
lytham lodge to any parent.

My granddaughter started to attend Lytham Lodge Kids Planet in August 2025. She settled really quickly as the staff are so welcoming and caring. The children are always busy and are encouraged to be creative. They also spend time playing in the well equipped garden area, weather permitting. She has
really progressed since starting at Lytham Lodge so a big thank you to the team there. I also love seeing the photos and progress on the app.

We love the location of the nursery being next to Lytham Hall for the snowdrop walk.
Ultimately we chose Lytham Lodge because they have an organic allotment.
We feel a great importance that our son learn about organic food and the source of vegan produce.
We were delighted Lytham Lodge tailored
a meal plan to exclude animal products and substitute dairy with almond milk which our child drinks daily.

What a wonderful nursery! My daughter has now being attending for almost 12 months and has settled in so much so I struggle to get her away to go home. She's bonded so well with all the teachers who are assertive and passionate about developing her. The facilities and resources and brilliant, inside
and outside. They don't just develop my daughter's skill inside the classroom but also outside with her motor skills, with a plethora of different sports. They also take my daughter on great trips, I love she gets a change of scenery! Overall a wonderful, extremely friendly nursery. I'm so happy. Due to work my daughter has been at 3 nurseries and she'll settled here the best, of that there's no doubt!

Amazing setting, my child has thrived at Kids Planet Lytham Lodge and has been attending since 9 months old. All staff are friendly, caring and knowledgeable, you can tell they love their work.
The special trips and activities that are planned throughout the months and year are fantastic and incorporate
all age groups.
Would definitely recommend as a setting for your child.

The staff are always welcoming and pleasant. The children are always well cared for and enjoy themselves enough to not want to go home at the end of the day. The Nursary accommodates all the needs of the children. The fresh cooked meals are spoken about highly

Choosing this place was the best decision we've probably made so far as parents! Our little boy loves coming to Lytham Lodge, we've had him in 5 days a week for the last 2 years and wouldn't go anywhere else. The bond the staff have had with him from each age group has undoubtedly aided his development
massively and as a result, we've recently had a little girl and she is already enrolled so she can follow in her big brothers footsteps! The care and attention shown by each and every member of staff from the nursery manager right down is second to none.

My little one started this nursery in January and he has settled so well. The team in the baby room are amazing and are always waiting with a smile when we arrive. The children get such a varied menu and my little one loves his meals at nursery. They go on frequent trips out to Lytham Hall and other
local places. A nurturing setting for all children with a huge emphasis on outdoor learning and all children being unique. They follow the children's interests. I am so pleased we made the decision to send our little one here.

First time we'd ever had a child in a nursery. The staff have been excellent. Caring and considerate with our daughter and supportive and encouraging with us. My wife is pregnant and we've already booked the new baby in to join next year. The food is of high quality, the cleanliness is great and she
loves the activities she goes out on. We have never had any issues with safeguarding and the transition from the baby room to the toddler room has been seamless.

I'm so pleased with the care of my son at Lytham Lodge. He was a little shy boy who had not been away from me his dad. All the staff worked hard with him to make him feel comfortable and safe.

Absolutely amazing nursery! My daughter has been going there now for over a year and she literally runs in without a care in the world. The staff are super friendly and attentive.

Since starting nursery she has learnt so much and comes home singing new songs and colours. She also loves the trips to see the animals. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.941)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.941) out of 10 for Kids Planet Lytham Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.941 for Kids Planet Lytham Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (270 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.941
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Lytham Lodge is based on 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 108 number of registered child places is 21.6, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
