Kids Planet Knightlow

About this day nursery

Kids Planet Knightlow is a childcare setting on non-domestic premises located in Stretton on Dunsmore, Rugby, Warwickshire. Open Monday to Friday from 07:50 to 18:00, 51 weeks of the year, the day nursery provides a warm and nurturing environment where children, from babies up to eight years old, arrive excited and enthusiastic to start their day.

The setting fosters strong, trusting relationships between children and their key persons, ensuring a secure sense of belonging. Children quickly settle and immerse themselves in a wide range of activities, making secure friendships and creating imaginative games.

The dedicated staff, passionate about inclusivity, consistently have high expectations for all children, ensuring individual needs are swiftly identified and met through targeted support plans. This approach helps children with special educational needs and/or disabilities make clear progress.

The curriculum is ambitious, building on children's existing knowledge and skills across all areas of learning, with a particular focus on physical development through a well-resourced indoor and outdoor learning environment, including an effective forest school area. Leaders ensure continuous improvement in care and education, supporting staff with ongoing training and reflecting on practices to enhance children's learning experiences, such as the 'shake your sillies out' physical activity.

Parents speak highly of the care and education provided, noting effective support with aspects like toilet training.

Our ethos

I am committed to creating a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and inspired to learn. With several years of experience in early years education, I am dedicated to supporting each child’s individual development through play-based learning and strong partnerships with families. I believe that the early years are the foundation for a lifelong love of learning, and I feel privileged to lead a caring team that helps children grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence every day.
