About this day nursery

Kids Planet Prestbury, established in 2025 as a childcare on non-domestic premises, serves children aged 0-4 years. Located in Macclesfield, SK10 4RH, the nursery operates Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 18:00, offering year-round care.

The setting fosters a welcoming environment where children show kind and considerate behaviours and make steady progress in all areas of learning, including those with English as an additional language. Leaders are enthusiastic about supporting staff and children with special educational needs, collaborating with other professionals to ensure tailored support.

The curriculum is designed to encourage independence, communication, and learning through exploration, with activities planned around children's interests. Children exhibit strong social skills and a "can-do" attitude, benefiting from close partnerships between staff and parents that support wellbeing, development, and at-home learning.

Older children collaborate with friends as they recall an outing and record past learning in pictures, demonstrating secure recall skills. These experiences develop skills that can support future learning.

From the moment I first looked around Kids Planet Prestbury, I knew it was the right nursery for my daughter. The nursery has such a calm, natural and welcoming feel, and truly feels like a home away from home, which is so important when your child is starting nursery for the very first time. The lush green outdoor environment, separated into several garden spaces really sold it to me, as my little one is a big outdoorsy kid. My daughter started in the Tots room at 1 year 7 months old before moving into the Toddler room after turning 2, and throughout both rooms she has formed such lovely bonds with the team. It’s so reassuring as a parent to see how excited she is to go to nursery and spend time with her teachers and friends each week. Starting nursery was initially a huge transition for her, but the support, patience and care from the whole team has helped her absolutely flourish. Since attending Kids Planet Prestbury, her development has come on leaps and bounds, she has grown into such a confident, chatty and curious little girl. Another huge positive has been the food. From being quite a difficult eater, she now eats such a wide variety of wholesome meals thanks to the amazing chef Ellie and support from the whole team, which has made such a difference for her/us. The care and genuine warmth from the team really shines through, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with our experience so far. I’m so grateful for everything the team has done for my daughter already and can’t wait to continue the rest of her journey with Kids Planet Prestbury.

My son attends here and absolutely loves it! He’s always so happy when I collect him, telling me all about his day. The staff all really care for him which is so lovely to see and he always talks about them all at home, which shows what a lovely bond he has with them. The chef is also amazing and always goes above and beyond to cater to my son’s dietary needs.

The environment is genuinely welcoming, and there’s a strong sense of teamwork. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into the staff, children and the overall atmosphere for the children to thrive in.
