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 son has been attending Nutkins for around 12 months. He was about 14 months when he started going and we were recommended by a number of people. I had looked at a few others nearer to my house as this is not that local but I felt I got a much better feeling from here that it was worth the extra journey
time. My son had become very clingy and suffered separation anxiety a lot so I felt he needed to start nursery. I was a little apprehensive to begin with as knew it would be difficult at the start but he settled in well as everyone was so lovely. He has come along leaps and bounds and absolutely loves it, he is so excited when he knows he's going and he has progressed in every way. It has helped him massively and he has learnt so much, every week he comes home knowing new things.

This is a great nursery, my daughter is 2.5 years old and she loves it. So much that she gets all excited when we are approaching it in the car lol. It's clean, there's loads of activities for the kids, the staff are caring and genuinely interested in the well being of the children.


Most importantly

my daughter has come on leaps and bounds in her confidence, speech and interaction with other children, Nutkins has undoubtedly played a big part in this.


I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone.

We didn't look at any other nurseries as Nutkins came highly recommended by friends. We could not have wished for a better nursery in terms of the high level of care and understanding to our children's needs.
Our children have felt safe, secure and nurtured by all the wonderful staff and have developed
their personalities in a stimulating and enriching environment
Nursery is so important for those first early steps away from mum and dad and teaching them a wide variety of skills to help them transition into school life.
My little boy leaves soon to start school and he has become a confident and caring little boy that has flourished at Nutkins.
My little girl will be with them until 2017.
I only wish there could be a Nutkins school and high school then they never have to leave!

My little boy has been at Nutkins since he was 6 months old. He's 3 in a few months. It's a brilliant nursery and the staff are so lovely and make you feel like part of the family. They go above and beyond for all the children and parents and grandparents. I was so nervous about leaving my little one
but they made me feel so comfortable being able to ring up and check on him and he always came home with what he had been doing and eaten etc as he was very fussy. My little boy has some brilliant relationships with the staff here and he has learnt so much through lots of fun ways as a result of going to nursery. I recommend Nutkins to everyone and everyone who asks where my little boy goes and I say Nutkins they always say good things about them. I couldn't fault them. Thank you for doing a great job.

Both my Daughters have attended Nutkins 2 mornings a week from ages 3 and 2. Both girls have loved every minute and have really thrived during their time there.
The staff have all been amazing since day 1 and done everything to welcome the girls and settle them into the environment, and have been
fantastic in supporting any additional needs.
Nutkins has helped both girls gain confidence and are great at encouraging the children to explore outside of their comfort zone and reach their full potential.
Could not be happier with my choice and I can't thank them enough for everything they do.

Since my little boy started at Nutkins he has come on leaps and bounds, he loves going to Nutkins and loves all the staff they are friendly, helpful and are always there to greet my son with a smile. The setting is relaxed and welcoming and I'm extremely happy that I chose Nutkins as my son's nursery.

This Nursery is top class in every need. All the children love the activities and the staff are very forthcoming in attending to their needs.
I would not hesitate in recommending this nursery to other parents, the word of mouth that surrounds Nutkins proves the standard of
care taken with all children,
and the enjoyment they have in attendance. Opening a second nursery, which has also been a success proves beyond
doubt how popular they have become.
Prior to my son's arrival, we knew this would be the nursery for him, we were thrilled when he was accepted, and we are now, as parents thriving on his
first years of his childhood seeing how much he has progressed - all thanks to Nutkins nursery. Speaking with both past and present parents, you gain the feeling this
is the general feedback. We for one, will be gutted when he leaves for school next year, it almost makes you feel you would like your child to remain there forever !
Thanks to all the staff, I can't single out anyone, as they are a great team.


A very happy parent.

*OUTSTANDING CARE* Both of my children have attended this nursery over the space of 7 years and I really wouldn't use any other. First my daughter attended and now my little boy. He has been coming since he was a baby and is now nearly two. You receive such a home from home feel whenever you are there.
The nursery is managed to a high standard. The practitioners are experienced, loving and very knowledgable in what they do, providing high end outstanding care. The practitioners are welcoming and always have new ideas and activities to provide the children with a rich fulfilling learning experience. But most of all they will take care of your child like they were their own, go above and beyond to make your child's day a settled, fun and happy one. I work in Early Years myself and this is one nursery I feel content in leaving my little boy at whilst I go off to work. He adores his nursery and all of the practitioners that make it the best nursery around.

My son has been going to Nutkins since 2013 and we have loved every minute of it. I spent lots of time looking at other nurseries in the area and none come even close to the standard we found here.


The staff are friendly and always available for anything you need. The children are always number 1

priority and there is always something for them to learn, make or do. Although the owner is always around and takes a very active role in the running of the place and the well being of the children and their families.


Little details are always remembered and parents often find birthday cards, Christmas gifts and various other things they have made in their school bags (this made Nutkins even more special to us).


The home cooked food is amazing and my son eats a wide variety of food at Nutkins that he would never attempt at home. Also the records of your child's achievements are very well kept and lovely to read at parents evening (plus you get to keep these when they finish).


We try to teach our son a lot at home but the things that he learns at Nutkins really astound us at times and we feel that with their help he is more than ready to take the next step to "big school".


All round I couldn't rate Nutkins high enough and know that our family will miss them immensely when our son starts reception in September.

Amazing staff who work hard to create a safe home from home for the babies. Everyday is a new adventure to explore there, with plenty of activities and attention from all the team.
Couldn't leave my son in better care than Nutkins.

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.
