Welcome to Kids Planet Poulton! The team are proud to share that they received their second Ofsted Outstanding in recognition of their Outstanding practice in ALL areas (October 2019, previous January 2016). A new framework was launched in September 2019 and as one of the first nurseries to be inspected under this more rigorous framework, this is an amazing achievement. Ofsted found the staff team’s teaching to be inspirational. The team have exceptionally high expectations for children and model exemplary behaviour and manners to each other and the children. They couldn’t be more delighted that Ofsted couldn’t praise the children highly enough. The children in their care are respectful, kind, inclusive and confident, as well as curious and play remarkably well together.

My son is approaching the end of his time at Kids Planet Poulton, after attending for two years. When he first started at nursery he was incredibly anxious and was experiencing high levels of anxiety around the other children. The support he has received from his Keyworker (and the other staff) has
been outstanding. His Keyworker has implemented strategies to help with the problems he was experiencing and the improvement in his confidence and well-being at nursery over the past two years has been huge. He now happily joins in with activities with the other children and has especially enjoyed the football training sessions provided by Fleetwood Town FC. I feel confident leaving my Son in their care as he is always happy and relaxed when I collect him from the nursery. I feel like my son is well prepared for his transition to school in September and as much as we are all looking forward to this next chapter, we will really miss all the happy, friendly faces at Kids Planet Poulton.

Fantastic nursery with wonderful, caring, attentive and experienced staff. Nothing is ever too much trouble and each child is treated as an individual and has their particular needs met. I have used this nursery for all 3 of my children and it just gets better and better every year. I couldn’t recommend
it enough. Each room has great resources and they have so many activities going on each week. There's so much effort and thought put into everything they do here. I’d also say they are particularly supportive when feeling anxious about leaving your child as a new starter. They send lots of updates and are on the ball with everything, they definitely put you at ease. I will always highly recommend this setting.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our little girl started in the baby room at around 10 months old and formed very strong bonds with all the baby room practitioners. Despite the typical mum guilt of returning to work, I knew the care she was getting was exceptional and that she was being treated by every member of staff as their own.
Whenever any minor, general issues arose (e.g. nappy rash etc.) we were well supported and it's very easy to adopt a consistent home and nursery approach, as the ethos is very much a home from home environment. She recently moved to the bigger room and has been exposed to more practitioners, new and older children and many more activities and local trips, and she's absolutely thriving. We couldn't have asked for more from the staff, supporting her through a big transition and we've seen a difference in her development already following the move. Thank you so much for being part of our journey, supporting our child in growing and developing, and being an extended part of our family!

Kids Planet Poulton is a home from home for my children. We have become a part of the family and I trust the staff with my life. All three of my children have been to this nursery and they’ve come on leaps and bounds, made friends for life and have really just enjoyed being there. Nothing is ever too
much trouble. The food menu is fantastic. The amount of activities they have to offer is exceptional. The staff have the children at the heart of everything they do. Thank you for helping raise my little monsters!

I have 2 children who currently go to Kids Planet Poulton and another child is booked in to start in the next few months too. My children have been at Kids Planet Poulton since the baby room and have now moved up through the nursery. The staff in every room are absolutely amazing and are so good with
my boys. The nursery is always clean and refreshed with new toys. They are both vegetarian and the nursery accommodates this as well always making sure they always have separate vegetarian meals. Knowing you're leaving your children with very capable staff and very experienced management makes it easier. My boys are super happy here and would highly recommend this nursery to anyone searching for their children to go.

Our daughter loves coming to nursery twice a week. We feel that it's great for her to mix with other children her age. She always seems to be having a good time in the photos we see or from what the staff relay to us when we pick her up. We really like that they get to go outside a lot and explore.
There also seems to be a good deal of craft things going on too.

My son has been at Poulton for almost 12 months from the Baby Room. We could not love it more. He is very settled and happy, and enjoys attending. The setting is well thought out, open planned and functional. I could not review the staff more highly - everyone is incredibly attentive, they work hard
and always answer queries, they provide thorough reviews at the end of the day and we never feel like anything is too much trouble for them. The Toddler Room staff are absolutely amazing, but everyone is helpful. We are so glad we picked this nursery. Our son is very happy here, and we always feel like he is cared for like one of their own. Thank you!

My daughter has attended Poppy & Jack’s since just before she was 6-months-old. The nursery staff have always been so warm and welcoming, and I feel comfortable very comfortable for them to look after my daughter while I work. My daughter has come on so much in a small space of time, and we are so appreciative
of all the staff. They also always keep an eye on any allergies and make sure she can have allergy-free alternatives - very inclusive.
100% recommend to anybody!

I just love Poppy & Jacks my 7-year-old went, and currently, my one-year-old is there now!
The staff are amazing; they are so caring, and nothing is ever to much trouble, even at picking up they tell you about his day and know everything, which I live to here.
I never worry about my one-year-old going
in; I know he’s safe.
He absolutely loves it and has an amazing bond with his key worker.
I would absolutely recommend.

Poppy & Jacks are an absolutely fantastic nursery. My son joined towards the end of last year, and he loves it! The staff are friendly and so caring towards the children. I know my little boy is in safe hands when I drop him off. They’re always doing fun activities, which really stimulate the children,
and I’ve noticed such a difference in my son's development since joining. I would highly recommend Poppy & Jacks!

A lovely nursery where I know my baby is cared and looked after very well. He is very settled, thanks to the staff. Despite Covid, they have created a safe environment. There are plenty of nice toys, new soft play, and the nursery do lots of activities with the children. I love that they take the children
out for walks, do many crafts and get involved in lots of events and festivals.

My baby girl started in Jan, and I was so nervous as she was only 8-months, but she has settled in extremely well! I can’t thank the girls in the baby room enough for looking after her so well! She has barely cried despite not being around other people and children, and everyone has made her feel so
welcome that she smiles so much when she arrives and leaves! I know she is in the best hands and can’t wait to watch her grow and learn at Poppy & Jacks.

My son has been attending Poppy and Jacks for almost a year now. The team are so friendly and kind! He has flourished immensely since starting, from his speaking to making friends. It's always a warm welcome when we arrive and full of smiles and tales of great times when we leave. The food is excellent.
Would absolutely recommend Poppy and Jacks Poulton, I always know he's in the best hands.

My two children attend nursery full time and so it is literally their second home, and due to the love and care they are given every day, it feels like a home from home to them too. I have one child in the toddler room and one in the pre-school. My youngest started nursery in the baby room at 6 months
old 5 days a week before moving up; the support the baby room staff provided my family was incredible and nothing was too much worry (even the days when she was settling back in after lockdown and needed lots of attention and cuddles- and staff patience!). My youngest has a health condition and so for me to feel confident in dropping her off at nursery every day, I have to be 100% confident that they will do everything they can to make sure her condition is managed and monitored. In my eyes, these guys are heroes and we will be forever grateful for the smiles, cuddles and genuine care they give to our children every day.

My little girl has been in the baby room at Poppy & Jacks for the last 5 months and I have been so pleased with how well she has settled in. I feel really comfortable leaving her in the care of the team there who are so kind and put so much effort in, for example, she came home on her first day with
a laminated picture with her handprints on and photos from her day.
In spite of the Covid-19 pandemic, they have provided a safe environment for her to interact with other children which I am really grateful for and still allowed things like settling in days to make the transition away from only spending time with me less daunting.

My son has been at this nursery for over a year now, and I could not be happier. We’d moved to Poppy & Jacks as we were unhappy with a previous local nursery, but I instantly knew I’d made the right decision sending him here. He has already learnt so much and is constantly smiling! I cannot put into
words how amazing the team are here! They are all absolutely amazing! So caring, thoughtful, professional, approachable. Even through the tough year, it’s been, they’ve handled it amazingly and kept us informed at all times. My son adores his nursery, and I do too.

My daughter enjoys being at the nursery, she talks positively about the environment, staff and her friends. She is learning lots and is now in preschool where her development is progressing. They always tell me how she is doing, talk about her day and her progression. The nursery is very nurturing and
welcoming. My daughter always leaves with smiles on her face and really happy about her day. I would recommend this nursery to anyone and the feel for the nursery is very warming.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.940)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.940) out of 10 for Kids Planet Poulton 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.940 for Kids Planet Poulton is calculated as follows: ( (206 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.94

  • 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 Poulton is based on 18 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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2, which has been reached with 18 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.

Ellena Tattersall

Job Title: Nursery Manager

I have worked in childcare since May 2016 and have been at the nursery for 8 and a half years, starting as an apprentice and gaining experience with all age groups. When I was younger, I grew up dancing and taking part in pantomimes, where I also enjoyed helping to teach, especially the little ones.
I hold a Diploma in Dance, a Diploma in Health and Social Care, and a Level 3 qualification in Childcare. I am also fully Paediatric First Aid qualified and a certified Designated Safeguarding Lead.
Working with children and babies has always been my passion. I love being part of their journey as they learn, grow, and experience exciting ‘firsts.’ Building strong relationships with children and their families is incredibly special to me, and I find it truly rewarding to support and nurture them every step of the way.
