My little boy loves coming to nursery. He has a brilliant relationship with the staff. The care he receives is amazing. I am really particular but nothing is ever too much for them.
They have helped my daughters develop and thrive. Anytime we have had behaviour issues with my kids, they were always on hand to offer advice, support and work with us.
Seeing the way my girls ran/run (ones now in primary school) into nursery fills me with so much happiness and confidence about the way that the staff are looking after them.
The staff are hard working, professional and dedicated. The management teams communication is brilliant, always keeping us informed with what's going on.
Genuinely can't recommend Kids Planet Knowsley Safari highly enough
Our experience has been great as Jude's parents. We know he is happy when at nursery and always has fun, he also loves all the staff, so we feel very comfortable. We love nursery days because we know Jude loves being there.
The staff are great and always update us when we collect her each day.
When she has been ill, they have also been very caring too.
Kids Planet is an amazing nursery. My son loves it and has come on so much. Each member of staff can't do enough for you.
My little boy loves to come to the nursery, he is always happy when arriving at the baby room. I feel confident that my child is in safe hands. I love to get the updated photos of special moments captured every week. I would recommend the nursery to others.
Brilliant nursery. My twins absolutely love their time in nursery and have come on so much. They keep you informed about everything that is happening during the day. My twins absolutely adore the staff. Always helpful and friendly. Fabulous team, can't thank them enough for all their hard work.
I never thought I would find a nursery which would achieve my expectations - however, both myself and my daughter are 100% content and happy with the level of care, nurturing and learning that occurs at nursery. The outdoor space is fantastic and thought and consideration are always being given to encouraging independence and new experiences. My daughter's allergy needs are managed really well - and I have trust and confidence in all staff. Whenever I have any questions or require information, queries are always met openly and responses are always provided. My daughter thoroughly enjoys every day and I feel staff have a true commitment to the care they provide daily.
This nursery stands out from any other I have seen and that my child has attended. What stands out for me is the personal approach all staff take with the children and the families, they truly understand what we want/need as parents when leaving our children in their care. I receive regular updates throughout the day which is very reassuring and it's something I look forward to. They offer a wide variety of food, activities and time outdoors which is not something I can always offer myself due to daily life and commitments. The staff work very hard to ensure the children are cared for and entertained throughout the day and I have full trust in each and every one of them. I also love that management are very involved with the children and makes the effort to get to know each child. The facilities and outdoor space in this nursery are amazing and with the all-inclusive aspect, I feel it is worth every penny. Big thank you to all the staff at Knowsley Safari Nursery, you are doing an amazing job!
As a new mum who feared to leave her son, this nursery exceeded my expectations. The care and professionalism, balanced with a fun/loving vibe is evident. The manager has created a lovely sense of community/belonging and together with staff, formed a nurturing environment where my son is valued and encouraged to thrive. He's met with genuine affection and it's clear that staff take time to understand each child's individual needs to tailor their development. Via creative arts, sensory play, outdoor activity, he's exposed to a variety of learning opportunities, sparking his curiosity and imagination. Real-time App updates - daily activity/pictures, the transparency gives me peace of mind. The positive impact Kids Planet has had on his understanding of the world, communication and language and just his early development in general is brilliant. Special thanks to all staff who've created and nurtured strong bonds with my son, he is very happy and never wants to leave at pick-up time says it all!
Lots of variety in play. My little boy is very happy and content. I would highly recommend it.
My son started here in November after a really bad experience with another local nursery. It's incredible. The staff are welcoming and the facilities are incredible. The app provides some lovely updates and means we are always aware of what he is up to and what he's eating throughout the day. There is total transparency with the menu and any other details which is such a bonus. The curriculum is fab and he has already come on leaps and bounds since attending here. I would highly recommend to anyone.
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, it's lovely to hear how much your son is developing within our nursery and how much the information provided is helping you as a parent with the knowledge and support around the day-to-day activities. We will pass your positive feedback to the team as they will love to hear it.
My son started at Kids Planet Knowsley Safari Nursery in September and he is absolutely loving it! We were nervous at first as he has been with me everyday but he is enjoying it so much, exploring new delicious foods, painting, learning, making friends. The staff have been so helpful and have answered any questions or addressed any worries straight away. Would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone as I know my son is safe and happy there. All nappies, wipes, food etc is included so it makes it a lot easier and saves money too.
Such an amazing little nursery in such a cool little area as well! All the staff are lovely and greet you with smiles every day! My little boy loves it. Doesn't even look back at me now when he potters in. He's come on so much since starting here from social skills to the food he eats! He was such a fussy eater before he started, now he robs things from my plate, he wants to try everything! He has never had the opportunity to be around other children due to the lockdown and was genuinely scared when around them, now I hear he has little friends and his confidence has skyrocketed! Honestly cannot recommend this place enough! It's excellent.
Amazing nursery. Staff are all polite and professional. My daughter absolutely loved being at this nursery and I would recommend it to all my family and friends. Great location with amazing outdoor space.
The staff are so helpful and friendly and the place itself is stunning especially for the forest school outside.
Absolutely thrilled with setting our little boy at Waverton Safari Day Nursery he has come on leaps and bounds since attending. He waves us off at the door knowing he is in for a day of fun and lots of outdoor activities. Really wanted him to be somewhere he could be outdoors as much as possible and this is definitely the place for that.
Thank you for your lovely review. Outdoor play is so important to us.
Our daughter, who is now 14 months, has been attending Waverton Safari Day Nursery for 3 months now. Our plan was to visit two nurseries, Waverton Safari and another, but having visited Waverton Safari we instantly knew this was the nursery for us and we didn’t need to view the other. The manager and deputy manager were incredibly welcoming, helpful and reassuring during our visit and have been throughout. The Nestlings room leader has been absolutely fantastic with my little girl. They have such a lovely bond. The room leader is very personable, caring and always comes to the door with a smile. I wish she could stay with my little girl throughout her Waverton journey but I’ve no doubt the rest of the Waverton team will be just as caring and friendly. Everything about this nursery is just fantastic. We are so happy we chose Waverton Safari and would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery setting, especially for babies, as so far our experience has been first class.
Thank you for such lovely words. It really means a lot to us all.
I cannot rave about this nursery enough! It’s like one big family. The Manager is just perfect at her job and all the girls are so lovely and caring with the kids. I have seen a huge change in my child since starting at this nursery, her confidence is gleaming and her knowledge about insects, animals, numbers and letters has completely surprised me for a 4-year-old. So much love and care come from the girls and it truly shows. If you need anything the girls will bend over backwards. Thank you Waverton Safari.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, it really does mean so much!
All of the staff at Waverton Safari have been brilliant since we first went for a look around last year. The managers are so approachable and lovely, as are all of the other girls. It took a while for our little boy to settle after being in lockdown with us, but everyone’s been so patient and kind with him which has made all the difference. He’s come on leaps and bounds since starting nursery and always comes out with a big smile and lots of stories for me! The updates on Blossom are great to see what activities he’s been up to, the girls will always update us at the end of the day too. I’d highly recommend visiting to see for yourself how lovely the whole place and people are!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It really means a lot to us all.
