About this day nursery

Kids Planet Little Lever, established in 2019, offers childcare for children aged 0-4 years. 30am to 6pm, the nursery (rated Good by Ofsted on 21/07/2022) provides a stimulating environment where children arrive eager to learn and explore.

The curriculum is rich and varied, encouraging a love of reading through activities like independent access to an outdoor library for older children and shared reading experiences. Physical development is nurtured with yoga sessions for younger children, while older children develop fine motor skills by carefully cutting vegetables for soup.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported extremely well. The experienced special educational needs coordinator works closely with families and other professionals. Swift referrals, when concerns are identified, enable the setting to access additional support and funding for children who are eligible. This is targeted well, so that all children are provided with high-quality support to make the progress they are capable of.

Outdoor space

Children confidently move between indoors and outdoors, examining natural resources. Older children access the outdoor library and enjoy books independently or with their friends. Preschool children excitedly make a mud pie and add the leaves they have collected to the soil.
