After searching for nurseries with our newborn back in 2023, we decided to go for Kids Planet Halesowen. The initial walk around, staff and feel of the place was what we wanted. After talking to the wonderful Chris right at the start, we had a great feeling about this place, and it was the first nursery we looked at too! Our first impression was that the staff felt more like a family, and I believe that is what sold it to us. Our little girl was 10 months when she started and especially with the emotions of a first-time mum, it was more daunting for me rather than her! She fitted right in, has always been happy to go and now she’s just turned 2, we’ve seen how much more confident she has become. Everyone is always so welcoming no matter who you talk to, and we love that we’re provided updates on how she’s doing as well as any concerns they have. We are due baby number 2 in November, and she will be joining the Kids Planet Halesowen family too! We highly recommended this nursery!!

On the recommendation of a friend we sent our daughter to The Green Nursery part time (three days a week) from the age of one to when she left to start Primary School. We had the impression the nursery was well run by committed and caring staff, the children were educated using creative play etc,. On the occasions we saw the nursery at work (other than when dropping off or collecting at the end of the day) the children always seemed to be happy and involved in organised activities. On the basis of our, and our daughter's experiences I feel justified in giving the best rating I can. Peter
