About this day nursery
Kids Planet Edinburgh Way, located in Rochdale, has been supporting local families since 1999, offering a warm, caring, and stimulating environment for children from babies to pre-school age. Conveniently situated near Sandbrook Retail Park, the nursery provides easy access for parents.
The indoor facilities feature bright, well-resourced rooms designed to spark curiosity and encourage independent learning. Outdoors, children can explore a state-of-the-art garden that offers exciting opportunities for adventure and discovery throughout the year.
The nursery prides itself on its highly qualified and experienced team, dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing space where each child feels valued and prepared for their next developmental stage.

As a parent herself, she understands the importance of a smooth transition for children and their families, ensuring every child receives the best possible start in life.
What it's like
The manager has devised an ambitious curriculum that supports children in all areas of their learning. Babies are progressing well in their physical development, strengthening hand muscles through activities like stirring play dough. Staff help toddlers develop vocabulary by introducing new words during sensory walks. Pre-school children develop mark-making skills by signing themselves in. Staff are in tune with what excites children, like engaging babies in music with instruments and rhythmic movement. All children make good progress and develop positive attitudes towards learning. Staff consistently support children's behaviour, encouraging sharing and turn-taking, fostering a strong understanding of respect. Early education is at the heart of this nursery, providing ample opportunities for independence, such as children setting tables at mealtimes. The manager envisions giving every child a voice, which staff implement exceptionally well, making children extremely happy and secure.

Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are making good progress. The special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) and staff know the children extremely well. They use this knowledge to provide an environment and tailored support that meet children's individual needs. For example, staff recognise when transition periods affect children's development and quickly put strategies in place to support them. This swift action helps prevent children falling behind.
Outdoor space
The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning.
