About this day nursery

Kids Planet Eccles, located in Manchester, M30 9AY, offers childcare on non-domestic premises for children aged 0–4 years. Established in 2014, the nursery operates all year round from Monday to Friday, between 7:30 am and 6:00 pm, closing only for one week at Christmas.

Ofsted rated the nursery "Good" in its latest inspection on 2 September 2022. The curriculum is designed to engage children, with staff showing genuine care and commitment, and high expectations for all.

Children are happy and eager to greet staff, demonstrating curiosity and a desire to explore. The nursery places a strong emphasis on outdoor learning, recognising the impact of recent times on children's outdoor experiences.

Children spend ample time outdoors, climbing on low-level equipment and developing their physical skills and coordination, such as strengthening their hands by using tools to mix "gloop". They also learn about feelings through songs and stories, helping them to be kind and compassionate and preparing them well for their transition to school.

Kids Planet Eccles values and celebrates each child's uniqueness, promoting diversity and respect through learning about different cultures and events like Diwali, Eid, and Christmas. The nursery maintains strong partnerships with parents, providing regular updates and resources like learning boxes and story bags to support consistent learning at home.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

Outdoor space

Staff recognise that children have experienced fewer opportunities outside of the home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and ensure children spend lots of time outdoors, which helps them to rapidly gain physical skills. Children climb on low-level equipment in the garden, develop their coordination, and strengthen their hands as they use tools to mix 'gloop'.

We couldn’t be happier with Kids Planet Eccles! The staff are absolutely wonderful- caring, patient, and always full of positive energy. From the very first day, they made our daughter feel welcome and safe. Our daughter has grown so much in confidence, communication, and creativity since joining last August! The nursery is clean, safe, and full of engaging activities. We love the regular updates from the team. Our daughter is always excited to go in the morning, which says so much about how comfortable and happy she feels there.

Booked a show around and got completely ignored at the door, I phoned, pressed the buzzer 3 times and a staff member visibly blanked me. Not a great advert. Time was 1030 on 7 April for reference.******** Edit to photo show around never booked for march as I got a calender notification for April. Also is staff member walking past door, staring at me yet ignoring me not a good enough indication that I existed (very pregnant at the time..I was hard to miss)
