Lovely staff, and huge outdoors space with forest school activities. We visited a few nurseries but didn’t see any with an outdoor space as proficient as kids planets is. The staff do so many activities with the children and we have seen so much change in our daughter since she has started. We feel really informed and supported and love getting all the pictures and updates through the day. 100% would recommend and wouldn’t send our children anywhere else ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If your kids like the outdoors, this is your nursery! My kids love being outdoors and here they spend so much time outside, engaged in activities and games. They have qualified outdoor staff, that do outdoor crafts, use tools and have fires, teaching them about fire safety.
