About this day nursery
Kids Planet Kidderminster, established in 2022, is a welcoming childcare setting for children aged 0–4 years. Open all year, Monday to Friday from 7am to 6pm, the nursery provides a consistent and nurturing environment where children arrive happy and settle quickly.
The latest Ofsted inspection, on 12th February 2025, rated the nursery as 'Good' in all areas, including the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. Staff build strong relationships with the children, offering comfort and reassurance throughout the day.
The nursery thoughtfully arranges play environments to engage children in activities that foster skill development and build upon existing knowledge, with a curriculum designed to ensure continual progress. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive timely and tailored support through effective collaboration between staff, parents, and other professionals, ensuring they are included and enjoy their learning experiences.
Parents frequently praise the nursery's communication regarding their child's care and learning, both through an online app and during collection times. While generally promoting independence, the nursery is working to provide further opportunities for children to develop independence with cutlery at mealtimes and to refine the provision for the varied needs of toddlers to help them remain engaged in purposeful play and learning.

My little boy loved attending nursery, the staff are all fantastic, he really came out of his shell and enjoyed going, he learnt so much over the year he was there, specially loved the football club they would put on for them.

This review was written when the establishment was called "Church house Nursery" Lovely, friendly, caring nursery with exceptional staff. The ofsted reports speak for themselves! Healthy, nutritious food is provided, plenty of activities for the children to participate in. Also very secure, so not just anyone can gain access to the children. Very much a home from home atmosphere. Wouldn't have my little one anywhere else.

This nursery decided that we owed them money twelve months after our children left! Despite never recieving ANY communication in that time and having both parents email addresses, telephone numbers and postal addresses. The first we hear of it is being threatened by a debt collection agency. On contacting the nursery they can not even provide a feasible explanation, only false claims that we knew of the debt and lied about sending out monthly bills! After this the debt stands and will have to go to court. Which we shall out of sheer principle. Be careful if you have financial dealings with this nursery!
