Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery! My daughter has been attending since she was 1, and her development over the last 2 and half years has been phenomenal, her speech now at the age of 3 and half is outstanding and with the help of the girls at this nursery she is well on her way to being prepared for big school next September

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. They have always gone above and beyond for my son, who absolutely loves going to nursery.
The staff are amazing and it makes me feel comfortable knowing my child is left in such capable hands whilst I'm at work.

Thank you!

Review from Liv T (Mother of Child) published on 25 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has attended this nursery for 5 months now and absolutely loves it. He is in the pre school room and has additional needs and a very set routine so nursery was a big transition for him but the staff have been absolutely amazing with him. You can tell the staff care deeply about the children. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone. All the staff are friendly and welcoming and had all his referrals etc done promptly keeping me in the loop the whole time. My son has come on a lot since attending this nursery and It's so happy for a mother to hear positive updates at the end of his school day.

Review from Jenny R (Mother of Child) published on 14 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My experience as a parent of a child in this nursery began when my now 7 year old was 9 months old, he has since gone to school and my near 3 year old has been a child at this nursery since 9 months old.

Throughout both children at this nursery it has stayed consistent, all needs met, staff members have grown up with both of my children and made it a second home for them both (even my 7 year old who no longer attends is welcomed and loved when we pick up my little one)

The nursery consistently updates the app with thorough details about the children's day, gives lots of additional information at pick up, provides security and a great learning and play environment, SENCO support has been great when needed & meals that my children enjoy. From the rooms themselves to the staff and office staff we have only ever had a fantastic experience here for over 6 years.

My only negative is the fact I definately won't be having any more children and will be sad the day we leave for good! :(

Overall Experience

My little girl has attended since 9 months and is now 2.

She has formed so many bonds and loves attending.

She has come along so much with the help of the girls at the nursery!

The girls are always pleasant & obviously treat the children well.

Take a huge weight off as working parents knowing your child is going somewhere safe and having fun also!

Overall Experience

Absolutely lovely nursery. My little boy has been with them since he was 1 and he gets so excited to go into nursery for the day. All of the team members that I have been involved with have been very approachable and you can easily tell how much they care for all of the children. They go above and beyond to make sure the children are happy and I'm able to go to work knowing my son is being incredibly well looked after.

The staff are extremely friendly and helpful as my child had additional needs and they tailor their care to fit in with his needs. The Senco is great here, really pushes to get the best for your child with additional needs.

My daughter started jan 2026 and has settled in brilliantly, she always seems happy going in and at pick up. There always seems to be lots of staff about and lots of staff in rooms and all the children appear to be happy and content which is a good sign! Lovely relaxed and calm atmosphere and good large sized room for the children. Would recommend!

Overall Experience

I would 100% reccomend kids planet to anyone ! My son started when he just turned one and they gave me so much reassurance and trust to leave my baby in their hands ! They settled him in with settle sessions and i recieved updates all day through the app along with pictures of him. Whenever I have any questions they are always there to help. My little boy has created some amazing bonds with staff members and he goes in with a smile and a wave to mummy every day. Overall kids planet Kirkby is an amazing nursery and I would fully reccomend to anyone looking for a nursery.

Fantastic nursery with Caring Staff

We've had a wonderful experience, from the very beginning the staff made her feel safe and welcomed. She has grown so much in confidence, and we've seen real progress in her social skills, communication and early learning. A big thank you to the entire team.

My little boy started in nursery, on his settle sessions I was worried as he was quite upset but all the girls in baby room really made me feel at ease about leaving him when he started. He absolutely adores his key person & she had helped him settle in so much, honestly couldn't have thank her enough for helping me not feel guilty about handing him over upset, but now drop offs go smoothly and he is really enjoying nursery!

Overall Experience
My little boy joined the nurseries baby room in November 2024. The staff are very professional and really care and get to know the children, which really gives you peace of mind knowing your child is somewhere they well be so well looked after!
The staff are great at giving feed back and updating you of your child's progress.
My little boy has recently moved up to the toddlers room and the transition has been made so much smoother by the staff making sure to do this gradually and even pop in to show a familiar face in the new room.

Really happy to have my little boy in Kids Planet Kirkby and would highly recommend it to others!

Overall Experience

Kids Planet Kirkby has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. All the staff have been so kind and caring towards my son who has recently started, they have gone above and beyond and exceeded my expectation's. My little boy skips into nursery and can't wait to start his day. After a bad experience at another nursery I was very anxious and worried about his transition but they have been amazing and I am so very thankful. Good work girls!! X

Overall Experience

My niece goes to this nursery and she loves it. The staff are so nice and my niece loves them, she talks about the staff at home and will tell us what she did that day. The staff and manager go over and beyond they make sure their milestones are met and they have the best day. Well done girls I would recommend this nursery as the care is the best and my niece is so happy there and feels safe.

Overall Experience

My daughter is in toddler room and has been going to Kirkby Kids Planet since the baby room, everything was done to make sure she had the smoothest transition and her and myself were comfortable and happy to start full time, nothing was too much trouble and she has thrived since, she goes 3 times a week and absolutely loves it; she eats lovely meals and is always happy; all the staff are so lovely and quick to chat and say hello, this is the first nursery I saw and after visiting others it was the one we went back and chose. I'm really pleased with the nursery and what it offers, thank you to everyone as we are completely at ease knowing our daughter is happy and thriving at Kids Planet Kirkby!
