Our Summary
About Us
Kids Planet George Perkins is an Ofsted "Good" rated nursery (May 2024) situated just 2.5 miles from the City Centre. The emphasis is on ensuring their practice is the best it can be and in 2017 received Level 3 accreditation as a “Healthy Setting” which led on to being shortlisted for the 2017 Nursery World Awards in the Health and Wellbeing category, recognising their “Building Healthy Lives” initiative.
The nursery aims to be the children’s second home and they have embraced the cosy atmosphere of being based in a house whilst being versatile in the use of space, keeping separate rooms for small groups of children when needed and then opening up to provide a free-flow environment to maximise access to a wide range of facilities and opportunities for them to develop. The nursery is divided into three units, the Under 2s (Babies and Tots), Toddlers and Preschool.
Parents are recognised as their children’s first educators and communication between home and nursery is encouraged in a variety of ways. In addition to the informal discussions held regularly with parents regarding day to day developments, biannually Parents’ Evenings are held, providing reports detailing children’s progress and which also offer workshops on aspects of child development and parenting.
Regular newsletters are sent out to keep parents informed and there are several opportunities to go into the nursery to join in with activities with their child; there are regular “Stay and Play” sessions as well as opportunities like pancake making on Pancake Day, afternoon tea on Mothers Day and many more festivities.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I am extremely pleased with our experience at George Perkins Kids Planet Nursery. From the moment we enrolled, it has been clear that the staff truly cares about the well-being and development of each child. The educators are not only friendly and approachable but also very knowledgeable about early childhood development. They create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it easy for my child to feel comfortable and excited about attending. I appreciate the individualized attention they give to each child, recognizing their unique needs and interests, which has helped my little one thrive.The communication is also fantastic. I receive regular updates and photos throughout the day, which makes me feel connected to my child's experiences. The nursery also holds parent meetings and events that foster a strong sense of community, making it easy for parents to get involved.The activities provided are both fun and educational, promoting creativity and learning in a hands-on way. I am seeing growth in my child's social skills and confidence.

Thank you for your kind words, such positive feedback is a lovely reminder of the positive impact the staff team make on the lives of the children and families that attend.
I have loved this nursery since my son joined the baby room when he was 10months old - he’s now 2 and an half and moved up to the toddler room. In that time we have also welcomed a baby sister into our family - the nursery staff were so helpful during the lead up, preparing my son for the arrival of his baby sister. Making the transition to big-brother-hood that bit easier.
The staff are so accommodating and helpful when I have my hands full with two under two at drop offs and pick ups, helping me get my son in and out of the car - a real testament to how they go above and beyond for the families that that look after.
When navigating tricky toddler behaviours at home the staff are always willing to offer a listening ear and help me brain storm or trouble shoot how to manage the toddler meltdowns.
I love that I have a peace of mind for where I send my son to nursery. At nursery he eats well, sleeps well, moves his body, and LOVES his music sessions with Miss Emma. His confidence and his language is really developing as he has some older friends in the toddler room to learn from. I feel he is emotionally supported in the same way he is supported at home , in a loving, caring, environment. He has made great friends and good bonds with all the staff. In particular his key members of staff.
It’s a big decision where to send your child to nursery, I feel I was supported through my anxious period as a parent about settling him in. I highly recommend this nursery - and would encourage you to check out their next open day if you want to find out more.

Thank you for your kind words. We strive to ensure that all those who access the nursery have happy, healthy and hopeful lives, so if that means we get a cuddle with baby while you settle a toddler or we provide a listening ear and support on how to deal with big toddler emotions than we are happy to help.
Kids Planet George Perkins is an excellent nursery. The staff are all amazing - so friendly and caring. We feel very reassured as we know our son is in safe hands. Very good communication with feedback every day and information in real time on the app.
They do great activities and spend lots of time in the garden, which we feel is very important.
Our son is extremely attached to his key worker and other staff members and it is definitely a home-from-home for him. He loves going and has blossomed since starting here.
I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent!

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear you’ve had such a positive experience with us at Kids Planet George Perkins. Providing exceptional care and support to children and families is at the heart of what we do, and your feedback means so much to us.
My son started at Kids Planet George Perkins 3 years ago in the toddler room, and progressed to the pre-school room downstairs.
He has always really enjoyed going there and looks forward to his days at nursery. Staff are caring, kind and do the best they can for the children. Several staff members have many years of experience. They encourage outdoor play and a range of activities.
I have already recommended this nursery to my work colleagues. One colleague subsequently joined and has also been very happy.
Many thanks.

Thank you for your lovely review. We strive to make a warm, nurturing environment for our children and families.
My daughter absolutely loves nursery and I really LOVE this nursery. All the staff as well as the manager are really supportive. They are big on safe guarding which is great as I know my child is safe and in the best hands. Since my daughter started in the under 2’s room last year and then moving into the toddler room, both her key workers have been amazing and very informative. I always love to hear what she has been up to and have noticed such a change at home in her speech and development. From my experience here so far, I would definitely highly recommend.
