My 3 children attend this nursery and it's been great. My eldest has ASD and the support I have received from a very early age has been incredible. Kelly's help with general support, obtaining her EHCP, help and advise with getting her diagnosis has been everything we needed and more. My other 2 kids absolutely love it here too, all the staff are fantastic with them and they both really enjoy the time they spend here. The food offering is great, they have a great selection of food there and they are really really adaptive to my eldest daughter's limited diet. Overall lovely place for kids.

What a wonderful start to our child's nursery journey. The staff have been so friendly and really made us feel assured that our star is in really good hands. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. We have seen our little boy come on leaps and bounds since he has been going there. 10/10 highly recommend

My little boy started in the baby room 3 weeks ago and has already come on in leaps and bounds! Everyday he comes home having learnt something new! I can't praise enough how wonderful the staff have been so far, you can tell they're all passionate about what they do and it shows in the hard work they put in with the children. We get regular updates throughout the day with everything you need to know and pictures of what he's up to which is greatly appreciated. Getting started & signing up to nursery can be daunting, but from the day of our walk around to now, the manager has been extremely helpful answering any questions that we've had! Extremely impressed so far and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good nursery!

What a fantastic nursery! My grandson attends here and I get regular updates via the app on a daily basis. Its so wonderful to see what he has been up to and the lovely activities that are set up for him to explore. His language development has come on in leaps and bounds since attending the setting too.

Our daughter has been attending Kids Planet for 6 months and we are so very grateful for the care she receives from the entire team. At collection you can see one staff member in particular has given her absolute all to every single child all day, and the attentiveness she shows is as though each child is her own. Another specific staff member is truly inspirational, full of positive energy and genuine kindness when telling us all about our daughter's day in detail, and four other staff members keep all parents updated online and give super care also. I really value the chef at Kids Planet, I met her once and she was another ray of genuine sunshine cooking happily and telling us all about the menu which did not contain one chicken nugget or frozen processed food! Super happy we made the move, and super grateful to all the team.

I honestly cannot recommend Kids Planet, Donisthorpe enough! This nursery has the most amazing, educated and child centred staff. I feel comfortable dropping my child off here in a morning and know they are being taken great care of.

We've been with Kids Planet Donisthorpe for three years now, and I honestly cannot praise the staff enough. The bonds they've built with both of my children are so special - it's clear they genuinely care and go above and beyond every day. Both of my kids absolutely love going in, and that says everything. The variety and quality of the food are fantastic, with different, exciting choices each day - it's great knowing they're so well-fed and exposed to new things. The outdoor play area is brilliant and really encourages active, happy kids. A special mention has to go to the Mother's Day craft session this year - it was such a thoughtful and lovely experience, and something I'll always remember. Thank you to all the amazing staff for creating such a nurturing, fun, and safe space for our little ones!

My Son currently attends Kids Planet Donisthorpe and the staff are always fantastic with him. They always provide me with what he has been doing throughout the day, and I receive regular updates as to what he has eaten, slept and his nappies via the app.

My grandson attends this nursery, I'm his full-time carer. He loves it, the staff are great always letting me know about his day, he's given his lunch and tea on the days he goes and loves it. Fantastic nursery who do lots of different things with the children, would highly recommend this nursery.

My child enjoys the different activities that he can complete at nursery and has developed good relationships. Previously, we received daily updates and clear communication of what our child was doing in the day which we really enjoyed receiving and which we would appreciate again.

Kids Planet Donisthorpe is a wonderful setting with a fantastic team. Everyone who has been involved with our little one's care has been supportive and attentive. Following the EYFS curriculum and learning through play, our little boy has thrived here. From starting at 9 months old, he is now in the preschool room and absolutely loves going every day. They also ensure he is safe with regards to his food and skin allergies, enabling him to join in with his friends. Thank you to all.

My daughter started going to Kids Planet Donisthorpe not long ago and I need to truly say that this place is amazing. My daughter is a very shy child and she is always stuck to my leg and everything has to be done with Mummy. This place and the staff are really doing everything to settle my daughter in. They come up with different ideas to help her. English is my daughter's second language and again, what they do for her is amazing. They have done photos for her on the door so that she can still communicate with them for e.g. if she wants to go to the toilet. The staff is always smiling, they are very helpful and will do everything to answer all questions asked. Thank you so much, guys! You're amazing!

My twins absolutely love going to Kingfisher Day Nursery in Donisthorpe. The rooms are phenomenally set out with so many activities for the children to play and learn, and the staff are extremely helpful and caring. Being dairy-free, the nursery work with me to ensure the children get the best alternative choices as similar to the other children as possible. I would absolutely recommend this nursery to anyone.

My daughter attends this nursery three days a week. It took her a few days to settle in but as soon as she had she goes in and out smiling most days. She has a number of allergies and staff were fantastic at gathering information and arranging for me to meet the kitchen staff prior to her first day. They’ve kept me updated on my daughter’s care really well and provide a daily sheet with information about naps, nappies, food and activities. They also arranged for full staff training on epipens before my daughter started which was really reassuring. The facilities are great. Wonderful variety for children of all ages to help their imaginations develop.
