About this day nursery
Kids Planet Poulton is a welcoming nursery located on Breck Road in Poulton-le-Fylde. Established in 2009, it joined the Kids Planet family in July 2021.
The nursery's central location, a short walk from the village centre, allows for frequent local outings to parks, the library, shops, and cafés, integrating children's learning with their community. The nursery is committed to creating a home-from-home atmosphere where children feel secure, cared for, and motivated to learn.
A key strength of Kids Planet Poulton is its dedicated team, described as kind, genuine, and consistently going above and beyond, which is a primary reason families choose this setting. Ellena Tattersall, the manager, has been in childcare since 2016, progressing from an apprentice to her current role.
She has extensive experience with all age groups, from babies to preschool, and is passionate about supporting children's development and celebrating their milestones. Ellena focuses on building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families, priding herself on nurturing and guiding each child with care.
Easily accessible by public transport, Kids Planet Poulton aims to provide exceptional early years education and care to local families. The nursery was also awarded the 2026 Top 20 Nursery Award, based on positive parent reviews.
