Fantastic Nursery with Caring Staff. My children currently attend this nursery, and we couldn't be happier. The boys love it here and are always excited to go. They take part in a wide range of activities, both indoors and outdoors, keeping them engaged and learning in a fun way.


The staff genuinely

care about the children and create a nurturing environment. The nursery provides an excellent educational foundation, helping with early development. The food is of high quality, and including free nappies is a great help, especially during toilet training.


I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and stimulating place for their little ones!

We have been really pleased with our choice of sending our child to Kids Planet Cheadle Stoke. The staff have been incredibly welcoming and supportive with helping our daughter to settle at nursery. The app is a brilliant resource in helping to reassure us throughout the day that she is okay. The staff
are amazing at helping her to settle when she is upset and we have been really impressed with how the staff really get to know what helps her with this.
We love that they go outside all the time, and love that they have food and activities around the fire pit. Food is really varied and our daughter eats everything and more that is offered to her. Communication is really important to us as parents as we were initially nervous of leaving our daughter in the care of someone else, but we are constantly reassured and know that our daughter has a fab time when she's there and it is lovely to see that she is making friends.

Absolutely fabulous in every way! This is my second child attending Kids Planet Cheadle Stoke and I wouldn't have looked anywhere else!
For me it's like home from home; the love and care all the staff provide is heartwarming and makes you feel safe and reassured as a parent.
From the setting to the
activities, the food and the outings provide a place for
Children to blossom and develop in a fun caring and encouraging environment.
For me, above all, it's the staff at Kids Planet who make this nursery outstanding! Each and every staff member knows your child and always greets you with a warm welcome. They take the time to build amazing relationships with each child having a truly special bond making their time at nursery and preschool special, one that will leave them feeling happy, confident and full of insight and knowledge as they take their next steps through education.
Would highly recommend this nursery setting.

I cannot thank the girls at Kids Planet enough, as we enter our final months before starting school, the preschool team are fantastic in getting my not-so-little girl ready for the adventures ahead!
She is always so happy when she comes home and tells us everything that she's done in the day. The
events the staff put on are amazing and the thought that goes into each and every one is second to none.
They put on an amazing Christmas nativity, which my girl is still singing now and still saying her lines!
Hats off to the cook also, my girl eats things she wouldn't even look at, at home and some dishes ask for seconds whilst there!
She's really thrived since starting just under 2 years ago and I know when her last day comes she's going to miss everyone who's helped her grow into who she is today, she is so fond of so many of you! Thank you.

I was recommended Kids Planet Cheadle by a friend. I am so glad that I took my friend's advice to visit. What an amazing gem of a nursery. All staff have welcomed my little boy and my husband and I as parents. We have felt listened to and my little boy thoroughly enjoys attending. I am impressed with
the menu choices and my little boy seems to eat very well. The learning activities the nursery has to seem to be tailored to each child and as parents we love seeing our little boys' pictures of having fun whilst also learning. We love the invites to attend nursery at certain times of the year and to see how staff interact with the children is always lovely to see. All in all myself and my husband and most importantly my little boy are all very happy with Kids Planet Cheadle.

We love Kids Planet Cheadle. We honestly wouldn't choose any other nursery! I feel so happy to go to work and leave my baby with the caring nursery nurses. The management makes it really easy to resolve any queries. The staff are so caring and thoughtful. They really push my baby to learn and develop
all her skills.

I cannot speak highly enough about the exceptional care my son receives at this nursery. It is clear that the staff are passionate about providing a nurturing, stimulating, and safe environment. The attention to detail in the care at Cheadle Stoke is outstanding, and it is evident that they go above
and beyond for every family. The activities are always varied and engaging, with a strong focus on learning through play. It's not just about education, the nursery truly fosters a sense of kindness. Leaving my son in childcare was such a difficult decision but choosing this nursery is the best decision I have ever made. Communication with the staff is also fantastic they're always available to discuss my son's progress and any concerns. They make sure to keep me updated with his daily activities on the app. The nursery is spotless with a natural but homely feel. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a nurturing nursery, and I cannot recommend it enough to other parents.

Excellent nursery would definitely recommend to all family and friends. My 14 month old little girl has just started and the care she receives is excellent. She's settled in so quickly thanks to the care and love shown by all the staff there, especially the manager and the baby room leader and the baby
room senior. She loves nursery already thanks to this amazing team.

My son has been attending Kids Planet Cheadle since August 2024 and he thoroughly enjoys his days there. The staff are amazing, so friendly, and want to see the children enjoy themselves and thrive. They have lovely room set-ups and they do amazing activities with the children. They also do a lot of
theme days for celebrations throughout the year which is lovely to see. The menu also that they offer is great, it has let my son try so many different foods which he's been enjoying very much!! I would definitely recommend this nursery.

I have three children, all of whom have attended Kids Planet Cheadle. The staff consistently strives to provide care tailored to the child. From settling in sessions and encouraging new foods in the baby room to toilet training toddlers and introducing phonics in preschool, the nursery have recognised
my children's interests and planned activities to support them.
The town centre location means outside space is limited but the garden has been well thought through to make the most of it, really embracing the udeskole (outdoor school) concept and allowing children to explore outside in a range of weathers.
Staff are approachable, ask for feedback, and act on that feedback.
The menu is varied and children are given opportunities to join in with growing herbs and mixing ingredients to further engage them with their meals.
A calm and friendly setting where my three different children have all thrived. There is a reason places are so sought after!

I have multiple children who attend Kids Planet, Cheadle Stoke, all of whom are settled and thriving at the nursery. The staff have done an amazing job at providing a safe and engaging environment, in which to help my children to grow. Key workers and the wider staffing team have spent valuable time
getting to know each of my children well, enabling them to tailor and deliver individualised care and support to each of them. The nursery often invites family into the setting for planned events and every time they go above and beyond with the activities they offer. My children are happy to attend nursery and communicate that they enjoy the time they spend there. The management team are friendly and approachable and take the time to get to know each family. The nursery offer good communication, keep parents up-to-date and are open to offering and receiving feedback.

A fantastic nursery with lots of thought put into the activities that staff do with the children. Amazing resources to support children's learning. Lovely staff. Lots of opportunities to engage parents by inviting them in on key dates (for example, Mother's day, Christmas etc.). Communication with parents
is great. Outdoor learning activities are also amazing as they implement the udeskole approach. Both children love the nursery and they have both improved in confidence since attending.

Kids Planet Cheadle is a wonderful nursery that provides outstanding care and learning opportunities for our little boy.
Throughout his time, he has grown in confidence and has progressed in many areas of learning.
Their love, care, and nurturing ethos for all children shines through everything that
they do.
We're so glad that we chose this nursery to be the foundation of both our children's learning journeys.

Kids Planet is exceptional. Their attention to detail towards my daughter is second to none. As a first-time parent, I didn't know where to start when it came to finding a day nursery for my little girl but the nursery manager (who may I add is incredible at her job and the main reason I decided to
send my little girl there due to her warm and caring nature but more importantly her commitment to her role) settled all the nerves I had and reassured me! The rooms are filled with everything the children need, it is extremely clean, the outdoor space is perfect/safe! The kitchen menu is incredible and the safety throughout is excellent. There is nowhere else I'd want my baby to go, she is so happy there and that is all down to the care and kindness of all the staff at Kids Planet. If I could give a thousand stars I would!

Kids Planet Cheadle Stoke is absolutely wonderful. I cannot fault the staff and the manager is amazing at what she does. My baby boy absolutely loves it here and the transition has been perfect to settle him in he now goes in with no tears and has the best time whilst he is there, I constantly get updated
via the app with updates and pictures which I love. The manager makes sure we are constantly updated and she goes above and beyond with days like stay and play! 5 stars from me!

Genuinely could not ask for more in a nursery. Dropping our lad off with the ladies feels like dropping him off with family. All of the girls are very friendly and clearly good at what they do. They make the time to have a chat with us and genuinely seem interested, which makes for a really pleasant
and reassuring experience. When he has been emotional at drop off, I know he is in safe hands and with people who genuinely care and want to help. I get the sense they are allowed the freedom within their role to best support each child and their individual challenges. The range of activities they take part in are varied and all designed to encourage children to learn. My son has come on so much with their guidance. Thank you to everyone who is involved.

Kids Planet Stoke has been a big part of my children’s upbringing. From just 11 months old, the staff (past and present) have cared for the twins in a lovely homely setting.
The past year has been a delight for us all, the twins have progressed so much and are now ready to start primary school. The
preschool room keyworkers have worked incredibly hard to entertain, educate and nurture the twins. The mix of indoor and outdoor play is wonderful and the staff have allowed my twins to develop their own interests.
My daughter's confidence has blossomed in the past 6 months and the setting has helped so much. My son is quite studious and his academic interests have been very well met.
All staff (including those outside the room and management) are friendly, supportive and know our twins so well. I know they will miss everyone so much! We as parents will miss you too!
As we near the end of their time at Kids Planet, we would highly recommend the setting to any prospective parents/carers!

Brilliant and helpful staff. Staff are always available for a chat and provide regular feedback on kids and are open to discussion when needed. My two kids go to this nursery and they love it! Even though they started a bit later after the summer of 2022, they settled so quickly and not even once refused
to go. I could see the difference in my children's development clearly when they started the nursery and every time they transitioned from toddlers room to rising 3's and to preschool. Extremely nature-friendly environment. Last but not least, we visited all the nurseries in Cheadle and chose Kids Planet due to the way the managers gave us a tour of the establishment and discussed the concept that makes this nursery stand out from all others.

Both of our children attend Kids Planet Cheadle and we are extremely pleased with the care and love that they receive in the setting, in fact, we wish our eldest son didn’t have to leave to start school! We have seen such development with him and he has learnt so much from his amazing teacher/s in the
pre-school room. All the staff are extremely caring and attentive and we receive daily updates including activities, meals, sleeps and nappy changes! We are glad that our little boy, who is in the baby room, still has a few more years to go at the nursery and we would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about using Kids Planet Cheadle. Thank you for everything you do for the boys.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.845)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.845) out of 10 for Kids Planet Cheadle Stoke is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.845 for Kids Planet Cheadle Stoke is calculated as follows: ( (287 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 310 Ratings = 4.845

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Cheadle Stoke is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 78 number of registered child places is 15.6, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
