We've had such a wonderful experience with Kids Planet Wyke —I can't recommend them enough. From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, nurturing, and genuinely invested in our daughter's development. One area where they went above and beyond was supporting us through potty training. This was something we were a little anxious about, but the team handled it with so much patience, encouragement, and consistency. They worked closely with us to make sure we were all following the same routine, and they were always reassuring and positive with our daughter, helping her build confidence and independence. Thanks to their support, she made huge progress in a short time and is now fully potty trained! It’s clear that the staff truly care about each child, and we’ve seen our daughter grow so much since starting there—not just in practical skills, but socially and emotionally too. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a supportive and caring environment for her. Thank you to everyone at Kids Planet Wyke - you’ve made such a difference in our lives!

As a dad, i trusted kids planet to keep my daughter safe but they failed her. She was assaulted by a member of staff, and the incident was only discovered because CCTV footage was checked for a separate reason. The person who hurt her was sacked but the other staff member that witnessed it never reported it. This has destroyed my confidence in their safeguarding and management. No parent should question whether the child is safe in nursery care.

My son has been at this nursery for a long time. I had wrote a rave review for this nursery before, but I've had to remove it because it no longer reflects what this nursery has become. Since being taken over by Kids Planet the nursery did carry on well while still being managed by Kelly. But since she left I no longer recomend this place. The attitude of top management of the chain seeps down to the rest of the business and this is certainly one where you do not feel concern for your child or any interest or respect for you as a parent or paying customer. On one occasion the 'senior area manager' actually flat out lied to my face (not realizing the home had already told me the truth) just to try back up her own position. For me, companies where managers are dishonest simply cannot be trusted. The impression given by the new nursery manager is also that she is cold and disinterested in parents or the children. Such a massive shame to see the nursery go downhill in this way.

My oldest daughter comes here, i can honestly say that without this nursery and all there hard working caring staff, my daughter wouldn't be as forward as she is. Before she started at kinda she was missing her mile stones, was concerned when her speach and interaction skills wasn't coming at right times. Thanks to kelly and all staff here she has come on bounds, couldnt be more thankful or recommend these guys enough. Keep up the good work
