February 5, 2018 at 12:00 amMy little one has attended Hilltop Nursery since April 2017. Since the nursery has been taken over it is clear that Kids Planet are developing the nursery for the better. The nursery has been redecorated and the rooms have become one room rather than separate areas. With the introduction of the app, I can now see pictures of my little one and what they have been up to every day. The team there are great, especially the key workers, and provide feedback at the end of each day and are happy to help with anything.

February 7, 2018 at 12:00 amThe staff are so friendly, warm and caring and my daughter loves going there. She always runs straight to staff. She has come on leaps and bounds with language and social skills.

February 21, 2018 at 12:00 amOver the past 8 years the staff at Hilltop have cared for both my children, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. The nursery offers a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities, as well as outings to the local park, shops, library, etc to develop life skills. In pre-school my daughter also enjoys the additional classes such as dance, football, PE and science. The staff are wonderful with the kids, who work hard to provide a caring and safe environment. I’ll be sad to say goodbye in September when my daughter starts school!

July 18, 2019 at 12:00 amMy overall experience with the nursery is good. My daughter has settled well and enjoys all the activities and outdoor play. I feel sometimes the changes of staff in the rooms and change of routine within the nursery unsettles her a little. The management within the nursery is good, however, the finance team are unhelpful and are poor with parent contact.

November 20, 2019 at 12:00 amWe have had a great experience with Kids Planet Congleton. Staff always greet you with a smile and are friendly and supportive. The nursery has lots of lovely resources for the children and often host activities or take the children out into the local area. The meals provided are varied, healthy and tasty and always go down well with my child.

September 30, 2020 at 12:00 amWhen we first started looking around for nurseries for our little girl we were drawn straight away to Kids Planet Congleton, the staff were so friendly and got my little girl involved in playing and making her feel welcome which made us feel really good. So we had to choose this nursery.
Now she’s been there for a while she is learning new things every week, I love how we get updates throughout the day about what she is getting up to and what she’s eating etc.
All the staff are friendly and are amazing with my little one. Wouldn’t change a thing.

September 30, 2020 at 12:00 amMy only suggestion would be that handovers are limited to a minute to speed up the process of collection. Most information can be put on the app so there shouldn’t be a need for a lengthy handover process.

September 30, 2020 at 12:00 amI have two children who attend the nursery and we have had a good experience across all rooms from the baby room through to the pre-school room. A wide range of interesting and engaging activities are arranged each day for the children. I particularly like how the activities are tailored and developed depending upon the interests of that particular child. When my children have shown an interest in a particular activity or theme, they are then encouraged to develop that interest further, by engaging in bespoke activities with members of staff. The staff at the nursery are excellent and you feel reassured that they have a genuine passion for the work that they do and for your child’s development.

October 1, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended this nursery since three months old and I cannot fault the quality of care she has received throughout her time there. The staff are brilliant and have built up such a good rapport with us.

October 5, 2020 at 12:00 amKids Planet Congleton are just the most wonderful team – my little boy as been there since he was 11 months old and the team have taken great care of him since day one. The level of development we have seen in him since being at Kid’s Planet is exceptional and that’s all down to efforts of the team. The chef makes delicious meals, with my little boy often enjoying multiple servings!
I feel the team have created the perfect balance of professionalism and family friendliness and I really couldn’t be happier with the entire team and the care they show my boy – thank you!

October 7, 2020 at 12:00 amKids Planet is a lovely and welcoming nursery. Both of my children have attended from nine months old and both have settled well, always happy to see their keyworkers and the other staff. The activities that the team organise always look so engaging and they’re always keen to pick up specific interests expressed by the children and include this as part of the day. The outside space, although a little small is full of fun activities and the baby area a calm space for the little ones. Special mention also needs to go to the Chef – as well as making tasty nutritious food for the children he’s also a friendly face around the nursery.

October 14, 2020 at 12:00 amOur boy is so happy here. We’ve always had a mixed response from him to nursery. Now though he loves it. He comes out chattering away about what he has been up to. Today it was creating treasure maps and going exploring.
Couldn’t be happier.

November 1, 2021 at 12:00 amThis nursey is honestly outstanding, my son has been here since 6 months old and now is in the toddler room. He loves it here. The meals are nutritional and has a wide variety. Staff are ever so helpful and kind. My child has learnt so many skills. I’ve never had an issue with clothes not being returned or missing. I’d strongly recommend this nursery. It’s a lovely layout with loads of space for hundreds of different activities. I get updates at least 5 times a day from their app to show the activities, meal times and toilet time, assessment are also done. I couldn’t praise them enough.

November 8, 2022 at 12:00 amAbsolutely brilliant nursery and preschool. My reception-age child loved going to preschool there and my toddler loves the nursery. All the staff are friendly and no problem is too big or too small, always feel welcome when I drop my child off and I will definitely be sending my baby there when she is old enough to go.

November 8, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Kids Planet Congleton since February 2022 and absolutely loves it. The staff are so attentive and everyone in the building knows her name and greets her in the morning, including the chefs and the cleaners. We have received detailed and individual developmental reviews every month and every day we get updates about things she has been doing that day, meals she has eaten, nappy changes and sleep etc. It’s very safe, clean and engaging and our daughter is very happy there.

November 8, 2022 at 12:00 amI’m so happy I placed my son at this nursery. He’s blossomed since starting there just before his 1st birthday, and he’s continuing to do so through tots and now in the toddler room.
Not a week goes by where he doesn’t learn something new or pick up a new skill. I love they encourage him to follow his interests by designing little activities just for him. For example, he’s a huge fan of cooking so they had him mix “potions” with herbs and tea, then encouraged him to smell the ingredients and say what he was doing. But they also create activities that push him to try new things too.
I like the updates during the day on the app on what he’s been up to including what he’s eaten, how long he’s slept, if I’ve managed to avoid having to change a dirty nappy etc. And the “moments” on the app with photos of the fun he’s having make my day.
They’ve also been great with his dairy intolerance. He loves the food there, sometimes has seconds and thirds… unheard of at home. Kudos to the chef!

November 8, 2022 at 12:00 amOur decision was based on the logistics of juggling 3 children in 3 places, but I can honestly say we could not be more pleased with Kids Planet Congleton.
Since he started nursery this year, the change in him has been amazing, and I have no doubt that this has been not only enabled, but promoted, by the fabulous team at Kids Planet. The communication with us and liaison with professionals has been outstanding and they’re always a step ahead with any strategies or actions that will help him to develop.
The staff work hard with genuine interest to try and understand home life, likes, comforts and preferences and use this knowledge to support him in nursery.
He’s a fussy eater, so often refuses. But alternatives are always offered, without it being too much trouble.
Verbal communication is fab, and the parent app is always updated – sometimes later in the day, which reassures me that interaction with the kids is prioritised.

November 8, 2022 at 12:00 amI cannot tell you how amazing the staff are in the baby room. My son is quickly becoming much more sociable and interactive. He bonded so quickly with all the practitioners. They seem to recognise what he likes and dislikes and are able to make him feel comfortable.
I am so happy with the staff, the resources, the environment and how everything is set up at Kids Planet. I highly recommend it.
Thank you very much to all the staff there.

November 10, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been going here for just over 6 months and loves going to nursery each week. The staff are all very helpful and kind and keep parents updated throughout the day on the app and in person at pickup. Keep up the great work!

November 11, 2022 at 12:00 amA lovely nursery. The staff are really helpful, caring and reassuring. My boy loves going there and always comes home saying what fun he has had. I get lots of updates throughout the day, letting me know how he is getting on.
