Kids Planet Knowsley Safari

Absolutely brilliant nursery! The management and staff are all so lovely and my son has bonded really well with them all. Especially nice to see my son has a good bond with the Manager. She is a fantastic manager, nothing is too much and always friendly. The nursery itself is outstanding with the facilities and outside play areas. I truly believe their ethics on the curiosity approach has really aided my son's development. Cannot praise this nursery enough!

My son has settled in so well to this wonderful nursery. The staff are lovely, and I feel so comfortable leaving him in such a calm and caring environment- he loves his time here and up to now there has never been any tears at the door!

My son joined Waverton Safari Day Nursery during February in the preschool room. From the very beginning, I knew my son would love this nursery. He runs into the nursery and loves all the girls that work there. He enjoys every single day at nursery and enjoys the activities set up for him to do, especially forest school. I know that when I leave my son, he is safe and well looked after. I love being part of the Waverton Safari family and my son does too.

My daughter started at Waverton Safari Day Nursery only five months ago and in that time, she has come on leaps and bounds. She was reluctant to be detached from me at first but now she strolls in and waves goodbye. She absolutely loves two members of the staff, in particular, and comes home telling me she’s had a fun day at nursery. I couldn’t recommend Waverton Safari Day Nursery enough, the setting is absolutely stunning and there are so many wonderful activities that the children get to do. They accommodate for everything and we couldn’t wait for our daughter to start here, from the first day we were shown around.

Since my baby started Waverton Safari the manager has been nothing but helpful and goes above and beyond to make sure that my child’s individual needs are met. All members of staff are welcoming and friendly. They are all responsive to my child’s needs, always remembering key information, and always act upon it in a timely manner. The manager gives you detailed updates of the baby's day. Now for me to see a manager who knows my child very well and to also do the groundwork in the rooms shows how passionate she is and how well managed the Nursery is. The person who is my child’s key worker is always happy bubbly and smiley she spends time at the door to talk about my baby's day and if I have any requests she will follow them through efficiently. My child has regular forest school sessions and they have their own little woodland land, she has made jam from collecting berries and bashed ice with a mallet. The experiences she is getting are amazing for a 22-month-old.

I am thrilled with Waverton Safari, my daughter started in November 2020, and loves it so much. She was a very shy child and very attached to me, so leaving her was a big worry for me. I needn't have worried because she literally runs in and asks to go every day if she could. The staff are very friendly and supportive, any questions addressed very efficiently. I love the updates we receive, and I love the whole setup of the nursery and their approach to learning. I would not hesitate to recommend Waverton Safari, it is so unique in its setting, I am so glad we chose this nursery.

I can’t recommend Waverton Safari Day Nursery enough. They have been amazing with my son. I feel reassured and that my son is safe and I love the activities that he takes part in such as forestry school, it’s amazing! The manager is very approachable and extremely hands-on, which I feel is important to mention.

My son has been attending since September 2020 he was 22 months old when he joined and absolutely loves it and has done since day 1. The settling in sessions really helped with my son's transition. The staff are very friendly and show a caring nature. My son has progressed hugely since attending nursery I receive regular updates and photographs of my son's diary of daily activities which puts my mind to rest when I worry about him. The nursery has been extremely accommodating to mine and my son's needs and expectations of childcare provision. I think it is great that the children have the opportunity to play outdoors when they feel like doing so. The large outdoor play area is very pleasing to the eye and has lots of interesting apparatus for the children to explore. The nursery manager is very friendly and professional. My son loves his key workers and is always talking about them. I would recommend this childcare provision.

We viewed a number of nurseries for our son before choosing Waverton Safari. Our son loves being outdoors so the natural surroundings and spacious environment, both inside and outside the nursery, really helped us make our choice. The manager and team are very welcoming, friendly and caring and any questions asked are fully answered. After a difficult settling in period our son has settled very well and now really looks forward to attending, smiling at the team member that collects him at the door. Unfortunately, we are still not able to enter the nursery due to Covid restrictions, but we are reassured by the team that he is enjoying his time there. When collecting him in the evening he runs towards us with a big smile and his arms out, he has obviously enjoyed his day.

Thank you to the manager and all the staff. We feel part of the Safari family!

My daughter started nursery in July 2020, ever since she has blossomed from a shy, quiet girl to very confident and chatty, and her use of words improves every time she goes. She only attends one day a week but you can see how much of a difference that makes. The staff are all so lovely when you speak to them, and the nursery itself is amazing and the grounds are so beautiful and well maintained. I would 100% recommend this nursery, and I have told everyone I know about it as well!

Since attending a visit at Waverton back in September, I instantly knew it was going to be the perfect setting for my daughter, (11 months at the time) to develop. A week later she started attending for one day a week and although it's not a lot of time, the way she has come on since attending the nursery is really noticeable. She has just turned 14 months and everything, from mannerisms to communicating, are constantly developing and this is purely through her engaging with staff and other children during her day at nursery. The manager and staff at Waverton have gone above and beyond to make sure she has settled into the nursery environment, especially during this hard time for young children during a pandemic and also to make sure we as parents have no worries at all. Waverton is a 5* Nursery with 5* staff and I can't thank them enough for helping my daughter to develop and grow her little personality in such a lovely surrounding.

My son settled into Waverton Safari really quickly, thanks to all the girls who look after him. He is so happy and well cared for. They do activities with him that I would never have thought of. The setting is amazing, couldn’t ask for better. Any questions are answered so thoroughly and I just feel so content sending my son there because I know how well he’s looked after and how happy he is there. The nursery manager is brilliant. Really professional in her work but also so approachable and friendly. I feel like I’ve known her for years. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

My son started Waverton Safari Day Nursery in September and I can honestly say it is the best nursery we had seen! No nursery has or ever will compare! The staff go above and beyond but not just for your child but for you too! The girls have helped me with every question or worry I have ever had when he first started! Harry absolutely loves nursery and it’s all down to the fantastic job the girls do, he has come on with his standing up and walking and all his other skills so much since starting at nursery! And we have no worries or fears sending him! We absolutely love Waverton Safari Day Nursery and can’t recommend enough!

Absolutely amazing. We love sending our son to the nursery and we would definitely recommend them to other parents. Being here without our extended family and especially during the pandemic, everyone at Waverton Safari made us feel at ease in making sure our son continues to develop and getting the best early education. We especially love the Forest School and believe that it is one of the highlights of the nursery that you would definitely not want to miss. Among others of course, including their effective communication and daily updates, superb spacious setting, and friendly professional truly wonderful staff. Our son is emotionally happier after attending the nursery. We really love every bit of the nursery and hope they continue to do the best.

From first setting foot into Waverton, we knew it felt like a different nursery than the usual. The layout of the rooms is very welcoming for a child and leaves little room for intimidation as the settings in each are so intimate and well thought out. As first-time parents, we were nervous with leaving our child in the care of strangers but we needn’t have worried. The staff are all wonderfully friendly and totally professional at all times. Our son has settled in so quickly and enjoys every aspect of his days, which is sent to us through photo updates throughout his day along with his development and learning points. The outdoor space and overall setting in such green and spacious grounds are the cherry on the cake of a truly wonderful nursery.

We have three boys - a 3-year-old and 2-year-old twins and they love going to Waverton Safari. The boys love it when we pull up and can't wait to get in the door to start their adventure with their friends. We have been hugely impressed by our children's' development which we believe has been influenced by the superb programmes offered at the nursery. We have found the staff to be extremely competent, caring and compassionate addressing the needs of our children. We are updated verbally and in writing on a daily basis as to their activities and learning outcomes with both written and photographic records of their development on the app. The diversity of opportunities including Forest School and the Curiosity Approach have been outstanding. The activities provided for our children have helped to develop their confidence, capability and personality. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Waverton Safari to parents looking for a happy, safe nursery for their children.

When we first visited the nursery, we were taken aback by the incredible natural setting of the surrounding area. Through the many photo observations we receive, it is clear that the children spend a considerable amount of time making the most of this environment. The rooms of the nursery are calming yet stimulating, a lot of thought has been put into setting them up. From the moment we met the manager, we felt at ease sending our daughter to this nursery. She really took the time to get to know our child and encouraged her curiosity as she explored the setting. The nursery staff are all very welcoming and take the time to talk about our child's day when we pick her up. She is particularly fond of her keyworker, and will often spend the journey home talking about her. As a teacher and a parent the most important thing to me is seeing my child enter nursery happily. This happens every day, we cannot recommend this nursery enough!

Absolutely amazing nursery! My little boy runs in each day and loves it there. The daily communication, professionalism and caring nature of all the ladies who work there is second to none. The location, building and resources they have for the children are brilliant. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely delighted my daughter attends this nursery, with its stunning surroundings; the safari park, the nursery itself and gardens, the forest school. It’s hard not to fall in love with the place! Regular wildlife visitors like a little deer in the garden and squirrels, what a lucky little girl. Staff are fantastic, they put me and my daughter completely at ease, never easy especially after two years knowing nothing else day to day but being with each other. She absolutely loves her nursery! I love the curiosity approach to learning. Each room is unique and decorated beautifully with natural objects, it really is a lovely tranquil place. Another thing I was so impressed with is the Blossom App; informing me of everything she has done that day in a diary that includes pictures which just makes me smile throughout the day because I am in touch all the time, so informative. The standard at this nursery is ‘Above and Beyond’ my expectations and I would highly recommend to anyone!
