Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff, with support from the special educational needs coordinator (SENCo), provide targeted one-to-one sessions and implement children's individual education and care plans well. The SENCo is passionate in her role and ensures children swiftly get the support they need, resulting in excellent progress relative to their individual starting points.

Outdoor space

Children love to play outdoors. They ride bicycles, dig in the sand, jump in and out of tyres and carefully walk along crates. These activities help children to develop their large-muscle skills and their balance and coordination.

Both my children have attended this nursery and both have loved it. My eldest has additional needs and the sendco at the time worked tirelessly to get him an EHCP in time for starting reception. My little girl is there now, the staff are wonderful, the provision is really well resourced and she gets so much out of going. As she is in the preschool room, she is working on phonics and numbers, something that is going to set her up for reception. The staff are always really friendly and communicate well and you can tell that they love the children. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kids Planet Litherland! The staff are incredibly caring, patient, and attentive to every child’s needs. My little one has absolutely thrived since starting here — not only in learning new skills, but also in confidence and social interaction. The environment is warm, safe, and filled with creative activities that keep the children engaged and happy. I love the regular updates and photos we receive; it’s clear how much the team genuinely cares about each child. It’s such a relief knowing my child is in a nurturing, stimulating environment every day. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a place where their child will be loved, supported, and encouraged to grow!

I have experienced Kids Planet Litherland as both a staff member and a parent and only have good things to say! The standard of care for my little boy has been amazing. The staff are passionate about their roles and it shows in how they care for the children- the experiences they provide through the activities and the relationships built with children and their families. The management team are always helpful and accommodating and I can’t thank them enough.

I cannot fault this nursery at all and struggle to see how some might. Myself as a staff member working within the nursery decided to enroll my daughter last October where she started in the toddler room. Where do I start, well my little girl practically skips in and doesn’t look back she gets excited every morning before nursery. The staff in the toddler room helped her not only settle in but the care they give her is amazing. I see that she is having a lovely day through the app through the day seeing all the wonderful activities the staff have put together. The staff work hard in the nursery to make sure that all personal care for children is met. Parent partnership and communication is great, never a day I feel I can’t ask about her day and I always get positive feedback. My little girl started a very fussy eater and during the months of being there she has come on leaps and is trying some new things. The chef works so hard and always cooks the children a lovely meal for lunch and dinner. Thank you so much toddlers I really appreciate everything you have done for my little girl.
