About this day nursery

Kids Planet Warrington operates from a charmingly restored 19th-century chapel in the heart of Warrington town centre, providing childcare for babies up to preschool-aged children. The nursery benefits from its central location, allowing for frequent educational outings to the library, museum, and local parks.

They embrace an outdoor learning philosophy called 'Udeskole,' a Scandinavian-inspired approach focusing on nature-based experiences to foster children's connection with their environment and develop their sense of self. The nursery's fees are all-inclusive, covering essentials like nappies, wipes, formula, sun cream, and freshly prepared, nutritious meals tailored to various dietary needs.

Children also engage in sports activities and parents are kept informed through the Famly app. Kids Planet Warrington is deeply integrated into its local community, supporting organisations like Warrington Youth Zone and enjoying monthly visits to Warrington Library for engaging story and song sessions.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Interventions are timely and superbly support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff quickly identify gaps in learning and development. They make swift referrals to other agencies and implement effective strategies to help children develop skills. Children who speak English as an additional language hear and use their first language in play.

Outdoor space

The curriculum for physical development is exceptional. Children demonstrate their strength in regular rugby sessions. They safely run, climb and forage for leaves in the local park. Children learn about the world around them by regularly visiting a community garden to plant vegetables, and to forests to learn about nature.

Couldn’t rate this nursery more if I tried! Absolutely amazing. Every member of staff. So helpful and accommodating. From the office staff to the nursery workers. My daughter who was very shy and nervous upon starting here is now a completely different child. She’s confident, doesn’t mind being around new people and children. They have done wonders for her. The staff despite having numerous children to look after make you feel like they only have your child and the attention they give and the lengths they go to in order to make sure your child is settled and happy is amazing. Wouldn’t ever take Mia anywhere else now. Special shout out to Catherine, Jodie in the baby room who Mia has warmed to! Thank you for making the days Mia is there the best.

This nursery has great staff and facilities. The Ofsted report is Outstanding and I can see why. Children are happy and learn new things everyday with lovely resources and inviting rooms that stimulate the children's learning. Extra security is brilliant too with finger print access and CCTV. I know my child is safe and happy :-).

Fantastic nursery. We had our, now 11 year old, daughter attend this nursery when she was little, and she thrived here. When our son was born 7 years later, we only had this nursery in mind. He loves it here and has come on leaps and bounds. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking.
