  • Kids Planet Cleveleys, Thornton-Cleveleys
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.

My eldest daughter went to Nutkins from the age of 6 months from 2007 and came on leaps and bounds. The staff then was great. Now I have my youngest son there who has been there over a year. He absolutely loves it. All staff have been great specially with his transition from baby unit to downstairs.
Highly recommend this nursery. Thanks so much to all the staff.

Our daughter started in the baby unit at only 6 months old and has attended Nutkins two days per week ever since (she is now 19 months old). The staff are caring, well informed and engaged with the children and their needs. The activities and the foods offered are wide-ranging. Our daughter always
seems content when being dropped off and is happily playing when we go to collect her. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

Both my sons (2 and 4) attend Nutkins Nursery for 2 mornings a week. I don't want to leave the nursery myself sometimes because it is just the most wonderful and magical place and I would love to be able to stay all day :-) The team are professional, caring and a great support to myself as I am also
a foster mother. I know that when my children are at nursery they are loved, safe, educated and having fun. When my mother was ill and almost passed away, the nursery worked with me to ensure my boys had a place to go while I was at her side and I will always be eternally grateful. 10 out of 10 in all areas xxx

Our little boy started in the baby room in January - despite his sister attending previously we were still naturally anxious as he is only 1 - The senior staff member and the staff in the baby room could not do enough for us making this new chapter much less stressful and emotional. They keep us regularly
updated with pictures and reports on what he's been doing and learning. It is very reassuring knowing our little boy is being cared for in such an excellent way in a fabulous setting. Would highly recommend Nutkins nursery.

Nutkins is a fantastic nursery, all my child have attended this nursery my eldest is now 10, my youngest leaves for school this September and we will be very sad to be leaving here. Nutkins have so much to offer your child from French, football, yoga the activities are endless. My little girl is always
happy and full of it when she gets home. The staff are all amazing with the children and to see my child run over and hug the teachers before she goes home makes my heart melt. I can't be with her all day every day due to work commitments but I couldn't think of a friendly, nicer environment to leave my child in, I have no problems in given the Manager and her team a glowing reference they have been amazing not only with my children but have supported me throughout the years as well and the littlest things to them have made a massive difference to me and my children.

My eldest did and now my youngest goes to Nutkins. Both thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to going. My dd has come on so much both academically and personally there growing in confidence every day (she's quite shy). The staff are kind honest and truly care about all the children. The key workers
assigned to each child go above and beyond for their children they almost feel like part of the family. I feel my children are very lucky to attend nutkins and I am very grateful for all they have done and still do.

Brilliant nursery! We looked at quite a few local childcare options and came across Nutkins quite a few times through word of mouth. We called in off spec one afternoon without prior warning and the staff were more than happy to take the time to show us round and answer any questions. We loved the atmosphere
first impressions were great, I knew that our daughter would be well looked after.
Both our daughters have food intolerances and the nursery staff couldn't have done more to ensure dietary needs were met. I can't recommend Nutkins enough to anyone, it's a fantastic nursery with amazing staff.

Absolutely fantastic nursery!! My little girl started at Nutkins in June 2015 when she was just 10months old and she has loved it ever since!
The girls are lovely and are brilliant with the kids.
My little girl has gone from strength to strength since starting here.
They fully support with all
aspects of a child's development e.g potty training and I would choose the same nursery if I was to have another child!
Can't recommend enough!!

I have used Nutkins nursery now for nearly 5 years. What a fantastic nursery it is. I honestly can't give one single fault. My daughter started off here and now my son is coming towards the end of his final year before school. I will be very sad to say goodbye. The staff are amazing and I 100% trust
them all. The nursery is always fully staffed and the staff are all qualified to high levels (unlike some)
I rate this nursery excellent in every area.

Nutkins Nursery is very well organised and communication with parents is excellent (via newsletters, noticeboard and face to face). Activities are well organised and a huge variety of activities. Plenty of art work is brought home and updates of her progress. My daughter talks lots about Nursery and
often role plays her teacher at home. She has made many friends, also her key worker has made a really strong connection with her. My daughter's development has come on in leaps and bounds since she started.

My child has been at Nutkins since 7 months old and I can honestly say I have not had one cause for concern with the nursery set up or staff. They are all truly amazing carers of children, they stretch and challenge children to enable them to feel special and that they are achieving. My child has
made some lovely friends and he always speak very highly of the staff. The food is made fresh everyday and use is made of local produce which is of importance to me as a Mother. The staff will spend time to inform me of what my child has done through the day and also how he is progressing overall. It is a lovely place and if I didn't have to work I would want to go to!!

Definitely the best nursery in Blackpool/Cleveleys. The staff are caring and approachable and my daughter enjoys her nursery days. Lots of space both inside and out for all age groups and the staff go above and beyond to help each individual child. I would highly recommend this Nursery as a first choice
to anyone.

Excellent, caring nursery with friendly well trained staff who care about the children they meet. Plenty of space and different areas for the children to play with. The children are always doing something exciting from science club, drama, meeting reptiles and cooking. They spent time settling in the
children at the start allocating key workers by who the child bonded with and not just who had the least children to look after. The assessments files are filled with wonderful keepsakes of what the children got up to whilst they were at nursery. Christmas celebrations at the nearby church are tear jerkers, as are the graduation ceremonies. As a mum of two boys that have attended Nutkins I will miss all of the staff greatly as they are a lovely bunch and I thank them for looking after my children so well whilst I am working. If your looking for a nursery I can't think of any place better.

I have used this Nursery for the last 7 years, all 3 of my children have attended Nutkins, my eldest is 9 , middle 5 and my youngest who currently still attends is 2.
I would not send my children anywhere else, it is an amazing nursery, every single member of staff genuinely cares about each child
as an individual and their families too. I am so comfortable leaving my child in their care.
I looked around many nurseries before deciding this was the one, I knew as soon as I stepped inside. There are so many different areas for your child to decide what they would like to do/play at that time, they are not confined to one space. My daughter loves to take her breakfast outside with her in a morning instead of sitting at snack table, which is no problem at all, whatever makes the child happy.
The staff still ask about my older 2 children now and are eager to hear how they getting on in school. I have recommended many friends who are all grateful that they now too are part of the Nutkins family.
Best Nursery Ever!!

My son has been going to Nutkins for the last 4 months, after moving him from a previous nursery which we weren't happy with. He was made to feel so welcome and safe from day 1, and staff always made sure there was someone with him until he had fully settled in. It seems like a lifetime ago as he is
now the most confident happy little boy whilst there, and I have the staff team to thank for that. They have all been amazing, and I feel as though I am dropping him off with family. Wonderful atmosphere and so many different activities for babies/children of all ages. He has made so many friends since being there, and I am always kept up-to-date by the staff, the communication is great. I would highly recommend Nutkins to anyone, and it's the best thing I ever did sending my boy there. Will be such a shame when he has to leave to go to school!

Such an amazing nursery. I feel confident and completely at ease every single day my little boy attends Nutkins, which is 3 1/2 years nearly. Such a loving place. I know my son is loved and cared for by the best there is. Tons of fun, excellent facilities, excellent cook who provides healthy meal and
snacks. My little boy is lactose intolerant and this has been completely supported since him being a few months old. Very skilled, loving, happy and patient staff. We are staying on to Nutkins pre school as don't see the point in moving when we are so happy and content here. ?? We love Nutkins and not sure where we would be without them!!!

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.
