View Full Details of Kids Planet Heaton MerseyI looked around a lot of nurseries before settling on Kids Planet Heaton Mersey, it was just heads and shoulders above the rest. From the moment you step through the door it's just lovely - calm music, decor celebrating current events, beautiful outdoor spaces for each age group (no taking in in turns to go out here!), a zen den, sports coaches, I could go on..! My son has thrived since he started at 9 months old. The staff are excellent and genuinely care about the children. How they can manage so many nappy changes and potty runs with a smile I'll never know! They post lots of pictures on their parent app of things the children have been up to - a brilliant, creative mix of activities. Also added bonus that there's parking outside and snacks for the children as they leave. Only trouble is that sometimes the snack has run out before I pick my child up. Special shout out to Jade and Hana, you are superstars!
Excellent nursery. Child loves going, has made friends, and all the children look to be developing quite well and seem to know all the other parents of their friends. Lots of friends don't seem to know what makaton is which has been great for speech development. Great outdoor space in the warmer weather and faultless communication from the nursery staff on activities and/or issues during the day.
We couldn't be happier with the nursery. All the staff know Flo by name and she claps when she pulls up to nursery and is clearly very settled. Communication is 10/10 and there is a variety of activities so I don't need the pressure of doing messy play at home. Being a working parent can come with a lot of guilt but I actually feel none because I know Flo is having the time of her life every day.
All the staff at kids planet have been amazing and really helped with settling in my daughter. I had no reservations and cannot commend this nursery more to anyone debating whether to send their child here!!
My daughter has been going to the Kids Planet Heaton Mersey for just over a year. It didn't take her a long time to settle in and she has absolutely loved her time whilst she has been there. Each day she would come home happy and tell me stories about how much she loved playing with her friends and doing fun activities - which definitely gave me the reassurance, that she is in safe hands and has been looked after extremely well. The team in Toddlers are absolutely fantastic and goes above and beyond in what they do. They really make the effort to communicate at handovers and have supported my daughter to grow in her confidence and social skills. My daughter was a fussy eater when she started at the nursery - but now she has really developed a willingness to try different foods - all thanks to the staff at the nursery. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough to any new parents willing to send their children to a nursery setting. Honestly, you will not be disappointed.
My daughter started in the toddler room a couple of months ago and absolutely loves it. I was worried about being a first-time mum dropping her off but the staff and management made me feel at ease. The toddler staff are all wonderful and set up really engaging activities for the children to explore daily. I've noticed in just a couple of months how much nursery has developed my daughter's speech and understanding. I am also grateful for their amazing outdoor area as we have little to no garden at home so it makes me happy that she gets to explore the outdoors especially the slide which is her favourite!
All the staff have been absolutely brilliant in the 11 months that my child has attended Kids Planet Heaton Mersey. My 22-month-old absolutely loves coming into nursery each day, which gives me peace of mind that the nursery provides all the support needed for children to have fun, as well as develop.
We absolutely love Kids Planet and everything about the experience our son has here. He's stimulated, extremely well looked after and growing in confidence every day. Special thanks to the staff members in toddlers for providing exceptional care. Would 100% recommend.
Our son completed one year of pre-school at Kids Planet before graduating this July. He had a fantastic time and we really appreciated the support he receicved from everyone at the nursery. He started slightly later in the school year, but apart from a tentative first 20 minutes he never looked back! He was excited to head to pre-school every day (always a good sign) and full of stories every afternoon when we picked him up. He attended from around 8:30-9am until 5-5:30pm every day, even staying as late as 6pm on occasion. They were always quick to let us know if he showed any signs of illness, and ensured he ate well each day. There was a great mix of indoors and outdoors activities, especially once the days became warmer from the spring onwards. The staff were exceptional and always engaged, taking time each afternoon to let us know how his day had gone. We appreciated the use of the app to let us know important updates, and our communication from management was consistently good.
My son has been at the nursery for 14 months now, and I just think they are great. The staff are all so friendly - everyone knows the kids' names - whether they are in their room or not. My son's development has just come on leaps and bounds, we get regular updates on the app and they are also super flexible with day swaps where needed (something I know a lot of nurseries are not). They have a great outdoor play area that's super secure so they use it all the time and often go on fun little trips out.
Our little boy started at Kids Planet a few months ago and we couldn't be happier. The staff are really friendly and engaging and have taken the time to get to know him. I'm amazed by how much they fit into a day and I can see the impact of this on my son's development. He is 13 months old and picking up lots of new words and using Makaton signs at home that he is learning at nursery! We've had thorough updates every day and pictures most days of him having a ball. On pick up the staff are always ready to give a run-through of his day and how he is doing! Working in education I know how much pressure there is to meet criteria but nothing here feels like a tick-box exercise. I'm confident that the children's well-being and development are at the centre of everything they do.
My son has been coming to Kids Planet since he was eight months old. The nursery holds such a friendly atmosphere, and all staff are very welcoming and supportive. My son adores the staff members within the rooms in which he has transitioned, and he has settled in well with each room change. I am pleased with the progress he is making, and I am happy to have chosen Kids Planet Heaton Mersey for his nursery journey.
My experience with this nursery is nothing but positive. My son has settled in so well, and this is all down to the wonderful staff. They’ve taken such good care of him. I’m kept fully updated, and I feel very comfortable knowing he’s in good hands with staff that really care about the children.
My son had a hard time settling and transitioning between rooms and was always well supported. He is now about to go into the preschool and is happy, excited to go to nursery, has made lovely friendships and enjoys his time there. Staff, regardless of the room they work in, know the children by name and are very pleasant to speak to. My youngest is about to start in the baby room and I’m sure his experience will be as positive.
My son has been going to this nursery since he was 14 months and it has been nothing but fantastic (he is now 3 and a half years old). It is a very clean setting and the outside space is great. The staff are very knowledgeable and so dedicated to the children. They go beyond and above to ensure the children are stimulated and are always available to discuss progress/action plans. Kudos to staff who are always here to give a cuddle to my son when he has a wobble: I know he will be fine within a few minutes of having his daily cuddle and it puts my mind at ease. Finally, I can't review the nursery without mentioning the food: it is varied and cooked fresh. Thank you to the chef for always ensuring 2 meals are never the same. I could not be happier to have chosen this nursery and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to any new parents.
Really lovely nursery setting. My son loves his group and the staff. He is coming on much more with his language as this has been a focus in the teaching and learning. It is a very encouraging environment, clear communication and handover. I would like additional photos etc if possible but understand staff are busy, other than that, its great.
We were very impressed when we came to view the nursery in July of this year and haven't been disappointed in the time since. The staff seem very affectionate and our son always appears to be happy here. The activities he takes part in all look fun and educational. He seems to enjoy the food too, which is good. We appreciate being kept up to date through the parent app and are very pleased overall.
My son started Kids Planet at the beginning of January 2021 after a year of being locked down with only me and his father. The nursery staff did an amazing job supporting both my son and myself with the transition which went smoothly. My son is well supported by the staff within nursery, the learning environment is relaxed, caring and like a little family unit. The progress that my son has made this year has been amazing and I put that down to the attentiveness of the staff and their ability to engage in him different activities and opportunities that stimulate his curiosity and need to learn. The team are amazing, keep doing what you're doing. We appreciate everything you do for our children.
All staff are very professional and friendly and it's clear to see their passion, care and enthusiasm towards helping all the children grow. The nursery is run very well and everything is communicated clearly and in a timely manner e.g. COVID protocols/ policy. The space itself is great for our child. Lots of outdoor space to explore and they have the freedom to move from their room to the outside space freely which was a big plus for us. The food menu is great, seasonal and changes regularly.
Both of my children have attended the nursery from being 10 months old, the eldest now in pre school. The nursery itself has seen massive changes since my boys started with a complete transformation of the outdoor area. The environment is calm and inviting whilst still offering exciting learning opportunities. The manager is fabulous, she is welcoming and keeps parents informed about the nursery and upcoming events. Having a teacher in pre school is fantastic especially one as amazing as they have. She is so knowledgeable about the Early Years as well as being kind and caring. The nursery have thought really carefully about how to include parents; secret readers, discos and parents evenings all help you to feel included in your child’s learning journey. The most special thing is the relationships my children have with all of the staff in the nursery; from the staff in the kitchen to the cleaning staff who keeps the place sparkling, to everyone else - the list goes on! All fab!
