They handled her transition to the next room well and she has since learnt so much.
I get updates regularly throughout the day with photos of her day and can clearly see how much she enjoys her time there.
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful feedback. We are truly honoured to be entrusted with your child's early education and care at Kids Planet Chris Abell. It is both a privilege and a responsibility we take to heart. Your words of appreciation mean a great deal to our team, and we remain...
It's not easy for a first time parent to hand over their wee one to an unknown environment. Having said that, the entire staff at Chris Abell have gone above and beyond what can be expected of a nursery. Granted my partner and I have no yardstick to compare, but the level of support they give us parents and the genuine care we see them dole our to our LO is unbelievable. We couldn't be happier. Bless them all for giving our boy so much love and care. We are truly thankful.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We're delighted to know that your experience at Kids Planet Chris Abell has been so positive. It's truly a privilege to support your child's learning and development, and your kind words mean so much to our team. We're excited to continue being part of...
The staff are caring and will take on board suggestions.
Some points for improvement:
- ideally, the staff turnover would be reduced.
- new staff should introduce themselves when they start, to make it easier for parents to know who is taking care of their child.
- communication could be improved, but efforts have been made by management so, even if not perfect, this is better.
But overall, a great nursery, I don't regret our choice!
Thank you for your honest review of Kids Planet Chris Abell. I would be happy to ensure all parents are notified of new starters prior to start to ensure you aware of new staff members who will be caring for your child as well small meet and greets so parents feel included and informed. I look forward making further improvements going forward!
I am very happy with the care provided by the Tod room to my little one. He loves going to the nursery and the key persons are always so lovely and caring with my child. I love that they send regular reports and photos of what my son is doing during the day. Something to improve a little bit is the staff rotation, as there have been a few during this year.
Thank you so much for your positive review. We strive to create an environment that all children and parents can feel comfortable in and we hope in the future that we can prevent staff movement to ensure consistent staff in our rooms.
Our twins have been going to Chris Abell since they turned 1 and they are now thriving preschoolers. The nursery is really well equipped and set out so our energetic boys have plenty of space to play and lots of inventive activities to keep them entertained. The staff are incredibly warm and friendly, and the boys have adored all their key workers. We have felt really confident that they are truly cared for. Their key workers have also worked together with us when we or they have had any concerns about the boys and made sure we are joined up in our approach at home and at nursery. Chris Abell has helped our little boys develop their language, their skills, and their confidence as well as make friends and learn to understand their own and others' emotions. We will be sad to leave next September.
My son has recently started at Kids Planet and he loves every minute! The baby room is well equipped and the staff are always lovely! The chef always caters to my son's allergies and ensures he has food which he can eat! He normally has 2 portions! Thank you everyone for settling my son in well!
The facilities at this nursery are really good. There is a dedicated baby sensory room and garden for the babies and beautiful displays of wooden toys and books. The menu is varied and my son almost always finishes all his meals.
The nursery is efficiently run and I feel the staff work well as a team. The Christmas party they held was excellent and showed how great the nursery was.
Chris Abell nursery staff are very dedicated, they enjoy working with children and have lots of creative ideas how to play with them. My daughter adores her key workers and is delighted to see them. Every day we receive a report on how she ate and slept and several photos of her playing happily. The nursery building is beautiful, and I could not imagine a better place for my daughter.
The location is brand new and very well-equipped. The toys are age-appropriate, and they have recently created a great sensory room which my boys love. I am really pleased with the decision to send my boys to Chris Abell.

Meet the Team (1)
Throughout my career, I have had many rewarding experiences working with children and families, and I am committed to making sure every child in our care can learn in a safe and secure environment.
My aim for the nursery is to cultivate an environment that enables children to progress and grow through play, organising activities and utilising resources to stimulate their learning with wonder and excitement. Play is crucial for cognitive, social, and emotional development in children. It allows them to explore their creativity, develop problem-solving skills, and build relationships with their peers. By engaging in playful activities, children learn to navigate the world around them with curiosity and confidence.
I am excited to engage parents in our nursery community and extend a warm invitation to join our setting.
