Overall, I am very happy with how the staff have helped my little boy settle into nursery for the first time. The communications from the managers are frequent and formative. The activities that the nursery provides are excellent. My son has particularly enjoyed the visits from the local fire station. The nursery always allows the children to play outside, which my child loves. I would highly recommend.

A warm and friendly welcome everyday at Kids Planet Southridge. Engaging, supportive and accommodating with a diverse, eclectic and interesting range of activities for the children. The staff are so kind, patient, and genuinely care about the children. Communication is great, responding to calls/ emails or providing updates. Always happy to attend and excited to share updates afterwards. Thank you to the wonderful staff.

I would highly recommend Kids Planet at Southridge First School. My daughter loved every day she went in; there was an excellent variety of activities and days out for the children to experience and learn from. The staff are all very welcoming and approachable, and have a great rapport with the children. My daughter was always happy to go at the start of the day and didn't want to leave when I came to collect her!

Both of our girls go to Kids Planet, Southridge and we are so impressed with it. We have a great relationship with the management team who take the time to get to know you as a family. They are very accommodating and the girls always enjoy themselves. We have complete trust in the team to take good care of our two girls and would recommend it to other parents. Their recent Ofsted Outstanding result is well deserved for the Manager and the team.

I'm very happy to recommend Kids Planet Southridge as they have been incredible in the care and support they've shown my son. The range of activities they arrange is exceptional, and I feel that each member of staff knows my son's character, and they are patient and caring. He is so happy to attend every day and has made lots of friends. He often talks to me about the staff, and it's always extremely positive!

My daughter enjoys going each day to Kids Planet. She enjoys the fun activities, and engaging learning environment. We feel this has helped her grow in confidence, social skills, and early academics. The staff are professional, and always keep us updated. Kids Planet has assisted in preparing our daughter for the next step into reception.

My child was at another nursery and used to cry every morning going in so we moved her to Kids Planet Southridge. She now runs in every day with her friends and asks to go to nursery on the days when she's not in. All the staff are lovely and approachable. The amount of outdoor activities they do is amazing eg go to the park, the woods and the beach. I would highly recommend Kids Planet Southridge to anyone

My daughter absolutely loves going to Kids Planet. The staff are so kind, patient, and genuinely care about the kids Every day, she comes home excited to tell me about the fun activities, songs, and new things she's learned. I've noticed such a big change in her social skills since she started, and I'm so grateful for the amazing team, the communication is great too-they always keep us updated and involved. Honestly, I couldn't ask for a better place for her to learn and grow. Huge thank you to the wonderful staff.

Our son thoroughly enjoyed his time at playgroup and made so much progress with his milestones thanks to the support of the fantastic staff who he felt safe and happy with. At pickup, he was always smiling and often wanted to stay longer than the 3-hour session! We were regularly updated on his progress through the app and at drop-off and pick up which was really helpful. The playgroup is set up with lots of different activity areas and outside space. Our son has recently moved up to wraparound and has transitioned across so well which we are really pleased about and can't thank the staff enough for preparing him for moving over so that he has settled in so quickly.

I can't fault the care that our son receives. Staff are caring and enthusiastic and have always responded to any query or observation quickly and professionally. Our son enjoys his time here and talks about the activities and outings he has enjoyed; most recently he's been trying out 'peer massage' on us all.

Both of my children have had very positive experiences with the team at Kids Planet. It's attached to the First School and the staff work really hard to provide a supportive and complimentary experience to the nursery school. Everyone I've met is friendly and helpful and the managers are flexible and proactive in their approach. The nursery is an excellent addition to the school!

The staff are all lovely and caring and have great relationships with the children. They always do engaging activities (from what I can gather) and I like to see the photos of what the children have been doing. I thought it was wonderful that the children had two outdoor trips before Christmas - to the library and the food bank. Really rich experience for my daughter. There's always plenty of activities to keep my children busy and entertained and they have good friendship groups as there are lots of other children that attend.
