Kids Planet Cleveleys provides flexible day care services for up to 48 children aged from 3 months to 5 years. The nursery is open year round, Monday - Friday from 8am - 6pm, making it ideal for working families.

Running as a forest and beach school nursery, Kids Planet really makes the most of its seaside location. Children are given ample opportunities to learn from the great outdoors, hopefully sparking a love for nature and the environment from an early age, as well as providing varied learning and play opportunities.

A team of experienced practitioners run the site and design each day to be as fun as possible, encouraging children to learn, play and explore in a place they can feel safe and secure. All activities are planned around the children's interests and stage of development, and the team recognise that there is no one approach to childcare. There is a space for everyone at the nursery, including quiet areas for the youngest visitors, and dedicated play areas for whatever children love to do that day.

On site there is a qualified chef who prepares nutritional snacks and meals using fresh ingredients each day. The kitchen team are happy to cater for any dietary requirements or general preferences, and hope to give children the opportunity to learn about food and try new things.

I have the pleasure of my son attending Kids Planet, Cleveleys. From the moment we first walked through the door the warm and welcoming environment made us feel at home. The staff are incredibly nurturing and attentive, always taking the time to engage with the children and create a positive atmosphere.
The nursery is well-rounded and thoughtfully designed offering a perfect blend of play-based learning and structured activities. The nursery has a strong emphasis on outdoor play which I believe is essential for children's development. Communication with parents is excellent with regular updates and opportunities for feedback. I truly appreciate the dedication of staff to ensure each child's individual needs are met. Overall I highly recommend Kids Planet to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for their little one.

Such an amazing nursery. All the staff are brilliant and know all the children and their families. They're always on hand to support/offer advice when needed and because they know the children so well they know how to get the best out of each child. The space is incredible with big rooms with different
activities in each. The garden area is like another world. You don't feel like it's just outside which helps with outdoor learning. The children are out in the garden most days. My daughter has come on so much and is the most confident little girl who I know will be more than ready for school when the time comes. The best decision I made sending her to this amazing nursery.

Kids Planet Cleveleys has been like a second home to us since November 2023. When my child first started there she was such a shy, quiet girl due to a bad experience from a different nursery setting, since starting here she has absolutely blossomed into this outgoing, happy, sassy little girl. The staff
are so helpful, nothing is to big of an ask and they are very supportive of my child with her development and learning. I would recommend this nursery to friends and family.

All the team are amazing. The nursery setting has many little rooms, toys and activities. The outdoor space is new and modern. My youngest girl loved it here and misses it now she's at school. My other daughter is still here and loves it, now my son has started too, wouldn't take them anywhere else.
They are Ofsted outstanding for a reason.

The staff at Kids Planet in Cleveleys have looked after all 3 of my children. I can't fault the staff they are so caring and make the nursery a fun and safe place for the children to be. All my children have loved being at nursery, and even my eldest, who is now 9, can't wait to pick his little brother
up so he can see the staff and say hello. Kids Planet in Cleveleys has loads to offer, whether it's being outside to messy play or having some quiet time in the sensory room. Gutted this is the last year for my little one now being in preschool. Thank you for everything you have done over the years.

Such a wonderful nursery with brilliant staff. I have sent all three of my children here and my older kids still love to pop in and say good morning to all the staff when dropping the youngest off. My daughter runs into nursery with confidence and tells me how she loves nursery. The staff there really
do a brilliant job.

I absolutely love my son's nursery and have done from the second we walked through the door. He has been there from 8 months and is now 2.5 so he has been in the baby room and in the 2+ room and all of the ladies working with the children are absolutely fantastic. The nursery is clean, the rooms are
well-resourced and the meals are always nutritious and varied. My son has always loved going to nursery and has a fantastic bond with all of the girls working with him. Their outdoor area is new and is absolutely fantastic. They are outdoors as much as possible which I absolutely love. My son is thriving at nursery and I wouldn't send him anywhere else. I get updates throughout the day about his meals, nappies, sleeps and lovely little updates of what he has been doing throughout the day. Would highly recommend Kids Planet Cleveleys and have nothing but positive things to say.

We couldn't recommend this nursery enough, My little girl started in the baby room and is now in Pre School, The staff treat her like their own, the relationships and the bonds she has made are amazing and no matter how many tears she tries to give me I know she's happy and safe. The staff were so supportive
during my pregnancy when I was struggling and I'll never forget the support they offered through this time. They offer such a variety of different activities/trips out along with a great outdoor space. I will genuinely be so upset when it's time for her to leave but look forward to our little boy starting his journey there. We wouldn't choose anywhere else.

My child who I thought I would never be able to leave anywhere, as he is an extremely clingy child, has settled into nursery and loves going every day. All 3 of my children have gone here. So I have used the nursery for over 6 years. The staff are absolutely amazing. They love their jobs and are outstanding
with all the children. Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job.

My daughter joined the baby room in September (10 months old), as a first-time mum I was so apprehensive about sending her to nursery but I can honestly say it has been the best thing for her. She has come on so much since being here and I'm so glad I chose this nursery. The staff are amazing, communicate
great with parents and keep us up to date with everything. The app gives me great reassurance seeing pictures and descriptions of what she's been up to each day. It's amazing to see her grow so quickly whilst being here, can't thank the staff enough for everything they do!

We have had the most amazing experience with settling our little boy in to nursery. The staff are absolutely made to do this job and it is evident in everything they do. My little boy loves coming to nursery and has developed such great bonds with people. The most important thing is that it's clear
to me that he feels safe and secure there. The communication is amazing and child development really is a focus. So happy that we chose Kids Planet Cleveleys!

Great nursery! My girls are very settled here. All staff treat my girls like their own children. The girls come home with full tummies as alternative meals are provided. The girls have great bonds with their key workers, but also with the other members of staff. I would recommend this nursery to friends/new
mums as the baby unit is also outstanding.

My daughter has been at this nursery for just over 6 months and is in the over 2's room.
She absolutely loves being at this nursery, and she always comes home full of stories of what she and her friends have been up to.
The nursery is open plan and the children all mix together which has helped my
daughter's development no end. They always seem to be doing something different and the children are given choices of what they want to do including going outside which my daughter loves, no matter the weather
They go out of the nursery regularly on adventures, again this is something my little one loves.
The staff seem to really care for the children and genuinely want to know what the children are up to out of nursery even giving little home projects for you to take home and do with your children.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone, and I know my little one is being well looked after and is doing activities which not only she loves but is helping with her development.

Both my children have attended Kids Planet Cleveleys. The team are wonderful and always on hand if I have any queries. Their key worker always had time to talk. The meals were fully prepared by a cook, whether it be a start and main or main and pudding. The nursery is clean and always set up with lovely
activities for the children to develop. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.859)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.859) out of 10 for Kids Planet Cleveleys is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.859 for Kids Planet Cleveleys is calculated as follows: ( (246 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.859

  • 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 Cleveleys is based on 22 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 22 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.
