I have had a very Positive experience with the nursery. The staff are very helpful and caring towards my daughter. The team Keep me updated regularly and the app is very easy to use where communications are published.
Thank you for your lovely review. She is very settled and enjoys her days at nursery!
Our daughter loves her nursery and always looks forward to going in the morning. The staff are lovely and supportive, and have really got to know her. They prepared a wonderful gift for her to bring home for Xmas that was so thoughtful.
Thank you for you lovely review! she sure does love it here! The Christmas gifts were adorable and we are so glad you loved them!
The nursery is absolutely amazing. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to their work. They always welcome the children with a big smile and create such a warm, positive atmosphere.
My little one loves being there - she is always happy and excited, and it's clear that she feels comfortable and well-cared-for. It gives me so much relief and peace of mind to know that she is safe, supported, and enjoying her time every day.
I am very grateful for the wonderful care they provide.
We are thrilled to hear that you think the nursery is amazing! the staff will be so happy with the positive comments you have said
Over the past few weeks my son has been supported to transition to the toddler room. This has been done individually to his needs and I've been updated every step of the way. His transition has been really smooth and in less than a week he was settled in the toddler room with his new friends.
This nursery is amazing and I recommend to family and friends as much as I can.
We are so happy you have had a great experience within the baby room! He has transitioned so well into the toddler room and has settled in really well!
They're qualificate and they show their motivation on a daily bases. My daughter did e prove a lot during this time with you.
Thank you so much for looking after our child.
Thank you for your review! So happy you've had a great experience with us!
Cannot fault Kids Planet at all, my daughter settled extremely well and the staff always go the extra mile to ensure she is happy. In the short time she has been there the nursery has really helped her development, learning new skills every day.
Thank you for your reply! we are so happy you like our nursery, She has settled in lovely!
My child has attended the nursery since it was Hollies and now Kids planet. I can see the improvement in the nursery since its transition to Kids Planet. My child is so happy and comfortable in the Pre-school room. The staff are very attentive to his needs, communicative and well organised. My son has a vegan diet and they have ensured that he is catered to and does not feel left out.
They do activities daily, both inside the nursery and take them out on forest days out. The app they use to communicate with parents is really helpful, clear and keeps you updated with what they are up to in the day, as well as their development milestones and pictures.
They have been very supportive with the transition to both parents and children in terms of transitioning to big school by providing information and guidance, communicating with the schools they are moving on to and preparing children with activities they might experience at when they leave. Wish he could stay another year! :-)
Thank you for your review! He will be very missed in the preschool room! we wish him all the best in his future at primary school!
The nursery had a wonderful open day for everyone to attend. There was lots of fun to be had and lots of goodies to enjoy and win! This nursery is really good - education and fun both being main priorities.
Great to hear you had a wonderful time at our open day! Thank you for your review!
My son is thriving in the toddler room after transitioning from the baby room. His speech has come along very well and the staff have been helpful in facilitating his potty training journey. The staff here are attentive and know the children well. The rooms are well organised and certainly meet Ofsted's Early Years framework. Highly recommended:)
This is so lovely to hear! His potty training journey is going so well! He absolutely loves it here at nursery! Thank you for your review!
My son seems to really enjoy his time at nursery. He is excited to go in each morning and seems happy and confident. We really like that there is a good outdoor space at Mapperley South and that this is used regularly. We also like the range of activities the team put on for the children to learn and explore. Levels of communication are strong both from Kids Planet generally and the local team.
Thank you for your lovely review! He really does love it here! I'm so happy you see how much he enjoys his days at nursery
The staff and management in this nursery are second to noun. Fast reacted, caring and very understanding which make parents life a lot easier.
My eldest is a picky eater as he is not used to British food due to the family background. He will choose not to eat even he is hungry if he doesn't like the food provided.
The staff of his room provide a very encouraging environment for him to eat and even providing a few options to see which is his favourite, highly appreciate
My little one is in the baby room, I can't believe how strong he is, he didn't really get any sickness from nursery in these 3 months. It means the cleanness of the nursery is up to standard which I don't need to worry about.
I compared carefully before I change the nursery for my boys, yes price wise they maybe be a bit expensive but trust me it's worth!
Such a lovely review! Thank you for taking your time to write this for us! The team will be pleased!
He is now 2 and thriving, he has a good relationship with the staff and has made some lovely friendships too. It's comforting to see him get excited to go to nursery in the mornings, the nursery staff are supportive and helped in my transition back to work by providing regular updates throughout the day and debriefs at the end of the day. I'll forever be grateful.
Thank you for your lovely review. Its great to hear he is having such an amazing time at nursery!
My daughter always has a brilliant experience at nursery and has done for the last 15 months we've been here! The experiences the staff create are brilliant and really help channel her energy and imagination!! It really helps me to know she's so well cared for and the feedback from staff is brilliant :) trips to the park when feasible have been her favourite and it's brilliant that they can offer this! They have been excellent at catering to dietary requirements as well which are not the easiest and we are so grateful!
Thank you for your lovely review! its great to hear that you have loved every minute as well as her! The staff are truly fantastic and its lovely to hear you like the little trips and outings they have been going on!
All the staff at Mapperley South are so friendly qnd attentive, my daughter really looks forward to her days there. They are so supportive with every change and challenge that is put to them and so supportive to make the home/nursery transition and routine as seamless as possible.
Thank you for your lovely comment! I'm glad you feel supported here and I'm happy to hear she is so settled at nursery! she does love it here!
My daughter loves attending nursery and has improved significantly with her speech and fine motor skills since attending. The staff are lovely and supportive and always willing to help in any way possible.
Thank you for your review! its great to hear that she loves attending and her development has improved since coming!
My daughter has been coming to this nursery since she was 9 months old and has absolutely loved it. The staff have always been amazing and my daughter has come on so well with everything she's always happy when I pick her up and occasionally doesn't want to leave
Oh wow! what a lovely reply! its great to hear she doesn't ever want to Leave us!
Great and friendly team. My daughter always comes home happy and full of stories of what they have done during the day.
Team always seem to have lots of different activities each day.
Only slight negative is that Kids Planets systems, communication and process are not as user friendly as previous.
Thank you for your review! Its so lovely to hear that she enjoys her time here at nursery and enjoys all the activities in the preschool room!
The toddler room staff post lots of pictures of the children engaging in activities and having fun.
Thank you for your review. It is Lovely to hear that he loves the meals here, the chef will be very happy to hear this.
Our daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 9 months old and the staff have been incredible from the start. She had allergies and other chronic health issues which they have been very accommodating of and aware about.
The staff are always happy to have a chat at the end of the day to talk about what our daughter has been doing. You can tell that they truly care about the children and it is clear that my daughter enjoys going there.
This is lovely to hear! im so glad you feel so at ease bringing her to us. The staff are truly incredible!
I have two children that attend the nursery. My oldest has been there for 3 years, and my youngest 7 months. Both children really enjoy their time there. We find the nursery and the staff very fun, caring, and it has a good educational setting.
Lovely to hear that they both love it here at nursery!
