About this day nursery
Kids Planet Dudley Hill, registered in 2022, operates from Monday to Friday, 7:30 am to 6 pm, all year round, caring for children aged 0-4 years. The nursery, which received a 'Good' rating from Ofsted on 16th August 2022, provides a curriculum that effectively prepares children for their next stage in learning.
Children develop good levels of independence, participating in age-appropriate tasks such as setting tables for mealtimes. The setting fosters positive relationships and social skills; for example, children enjoy hide-and-seek games in the garden and show good physical skills through dancing and riding bikes and scooters.
Staff support children in understanding emotions, with activities like creating facial expressions with playdough and discussing what makes them happy. Parents have shared positive feedback about their children settling quickly and the care they receive.
Babies engage in sensory play with edible ingredients, while older children show a keen interest in books, with staff building their vocabulary through familiar stories. The nursery also promotes good hygiene and healthy lifestyles, with children learning to wash hands before meals and making healthy choices.
Leaders have a clear vision and are making positive changes following a recent transition between providers. The nursery also provides funded early education for two, three, and four-year-old children.

I am absolutely delighted with the care and education my child has received at Kids Planet Nursery! The staff are warm, friendly, and incredibly dedicated to providing a nurturing environment to the little ones. The nursery is clean, safe, and beautifully equipped with age-appropriate toys and resources. I particularly appreciate the regular updates and feedback on my child's progress, which has given me peace of mind and reassurance that they are in excellent hands. The nursery's commitment to providing healthy meals and snacks is to be appreciated. Ezekiel is always happy to go to the nursery. Thanks to all the staff for their hard work.

I was dreading sending my little girl to nursery at 9 months old but I can honestly say the staff members at Kids Planet Dudley Hill have been amazing since she joined the Babies & Tots room. She's excited as soon as she enters the building and confidently reaches out with a smile on her face for a member of the team to take her when we drop her off. We are always kept up to date on the Famly app with her progress and pictures, and it's clear to see how much she enjoys being there. She is thriving and coming on so much and we cannot thank the team enough for the time & support they give her to help her learn and develop.

My two little girls are at kids planet (Dudley hill) and they absolutely love it there. I’m quite an anxious mum and they’ve always been very supportive whenever I have any questions or concerns and all the staff are lovely, very genuine and kind. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

My son has been going here since he was 1 and I have nothing but positive things to say about kids planet. The staff take such great care of my little boy and he loves all the staff. He does nothing but take about the ladies that take care of him. The management staff are always there to take your call and help you with anything you need. We had a little problem with our bill and they went above and beyond for us so thank you so much.
