About this day nursery

Kids Planet Crosby, situated in Liverpool, L23 5TE, offers childcare for children aged 0–11 years, operating all year round from 7am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. The nursery became operational in 2016 and holds an Ofsted rating of 'Good' from its latest inspection on 05/10/2021.

The nursery prides itself on its robust support for children with special educational needs and disabilities; parents feel very well supported, and a staff member has recently completed their special educational needs coordinator training, enhancing the nursery's ability to conduct reviews for children with additional needs. The setting provides large outdoor areas for toddlers and pre-school children, organised to support learning across all curriculum areas, allowing for frequent outdoor play.

Children confidently lead their parents to their group rooms, eager to join their friends for a day of varied activities, and enjoy exploring a wide range of natural materials and real-world objects. Parents appreciate the communication, with one parent noting that photographs of their child sent through the online system "brighten her day," and another praising staff for providing detailed information and resources to continue learning at home.

I cannot speak highly enough of Kids Planet. Our daughter is autistic and can struggle a little. Everyone has been so accommodating with her. Even staff members who don’t work in the same room, all help keep her happy and settled. It’s amazing to see how loved she is by all the staff, who go out of their way for her. On occasions skipping their lunch hour or staying late. Their priority is always the children. She absolutely loves nursery and has been so so lucky to have Lucy, Emily and Christine as her key workers. She utterly adores them and they have been unbelievable with her. Helping her develop her speech, social skills, independence. Not to mention all the hard work Louise and Charlotte have put in helping get her an EHCP, SALT, extra funding. We have been so fortunate to have been able to send her to Kids Planet.

We couldn’t rate this Nursery more highly. We have a very bright, confident and kind young lady; we know the support of the Nursery, the curriculum and the staff have aided us and our little girl greatly. From the Forest School, to sign language, to sports, to basic cooking skills… they do it all!!! We absolutely love this nursery! Our daughter is so happy and comfortable at this nursery x
