September 4, 2024 at 10:17 pmThe team are incredible and so attentive and understanding. Our little boy is shy, and the childcare centre has recognised that and worked with him to help him to come out of his shell. My little boy started over a year ago now and is so cheerful here.

September 8, 2024 at 11:39 pmShe had four head injuries within a three-month period when she was under the age of nine months old and non-mobile. Every time she had an injury we got two or three separate versions of events from various members of team that we spoke to throughout the day.
On the last occasion, a GP asked us to attend hospital as her behaviour and toileting was off and she had a spiked temperature. This was after the childcare centre downplayed the incident massively, thankfully she was ok. She became a very different kid after that incident and we made the decision to withdraw her immediately. The childcare centre had the cheek to try and charge us for the notice period until we threatened head office with reporting them.
She would also constantly come home with a sore bum, having only one or two changes in nine hours! I brought it up on several occasions.
Very negligent care. Lost count of the number of accident reports I saw being signed at pick-up. Removed our daughter due to safeguarding concerns.

September 19, 2024 at 5:59 pmThe team have settled her in excellent and she loves going. The food is incredible and the childcare centre is consistently full of cheerful kids. The sensory room was a big selling point for us as our daughter loves sensory playtime. Our daughter has just started at Kids Planet Worsley.

September 25, 2024 at 8:35 pmThey made no effort to help settle my kid in, hiding behind the Covid excuse and recommended just leaving my baby to cry all day as they’d eventually stop. What happened to wanting kids to delight in their time at childcare centre? My baby also came away with visible injuries everyday, which were only once reported to me after I kept asking what had happened. I’ve no idea how they had such big bumps, given I’ve never had them so bad at home through all the time they fall over and bump themselves! Team lied to me about how my baby was doing, saying they were doing well, when it turns out that they cried the whole time. I could see that the manager of the babies room just liked to promote herself. I obviously pulled my baby out as soon as I realised what was really going on behind closed doors, but they destroyed a little piece in my baby that trusted people. Had a very poor journey in the babies room for my kid.

October 11, 2024 at 12:47 pmWas very nervous sending my first baby at only 10 months old, he was definitely one of the youngest and after airing any concerns I had with the manager and with my baby’s key person, after a few months, he was more than settled. Unfortunately, Covid then hit and we had a while away from the childcare centre and he started again in September. Now, more wise and having spent a lot of time only with us over the last few months he really struggled settling in again, but we persevered – the childcare centre again supporting and helping along the way and I think we’re nearly there with him actually looking forward to going! I adore how they update you on the app and tell you generally how his day has been when collected. He consistently seems cheerful now when I collect him, and I think they’re improving his socialising skills and they provide the sort of playtime and enjoyment that he would not be able to get at home. I’m so cheerful he goes and couldn’t suggest enough! Thank you! Adore this childcare centre.

October 31, 2024 at 6:10 amShe settled into childcare centre straight away and looks forward to going childcare centre. When I pick her up, the childcare centre team tell me how she’s been and what she has been up to. I am able to see most of this through the app which I like doing. My kid loves the food at childcare centre and the menu (vegetarian) is excellent for her! All the baby room team are very welcoming, especially the room leader and the rest of the team. I am consistently greeted with a smile! If my kid has an injury (inevitable – she is exploring and discovering to walk) childcare centre they consistently ring me to tell me. They also double check on the cctv to double check accidents and how it happened. The managers are consistently cheerful to try to help my request for additional days if I need them but sometimes this isn’t possible due to staffing. I’m very cheerful I chose this childcare centre for my kid and I know she is having a excellent time and is secure when she is there. Thank you! My kid has been attending the childcare centre since September (11 months).

November 1, 2024 at 7:01 amThe team made us sense comfortable from the start keeping us updated on development as they settled in. Since starting, my kid has progressed so much with their updates, self‑assurance and playtime, the team consistently give me excellent updates at collection and I know from how cheerful my kid is that they delight in their time here! My kid started the childcare centre several months ago and we are so pleased with the care they receive in the baby room.

November 22, 2024 at 10:46 amThey have been fantastic with him, making him sense secure and comfortable and his key workers have gone out of their way to build a excellent relationship with him. It has been such a comfort knowing that he has their care and attention when I drop him off and he is incredibly fond of the team in his room. The facilities are excellent and the regular access to room specific outside areas has been something that my little boy has really enjoyed. His language has developed so well whilst being there because of the activities he takes part in and the childcare centre has assisted in teaching him really great life skills. We have moved out of the area and are changing nurseries for this reason only, I can honestly say that it will be a wrench for us all to leave. My son has been at the childcare centre since he was 1 and is now 2.

December 20, 2024 at 11:38 pmThe team were incredibly welcoming and we have felt very comfortable with the service provided all the way through – the activities they do each day vary nicely, but they have some similar toys that they sense familiar with. We get regular updates via the app, but consistently get a full de-brief with a member of team at pick up. My peace of mind comes from the way the team in the baby room talk about my little boy, what he does that is funny, cute or silly, it just shows me how invested they are in him! My kid has been attending the childcare centre since March 2020.

December 23, 2024 at 9:07 amHe’s developed so much throughout the 2 and a half years. The team are remarkable and very approachable. If I have any queries they are so quick to get back to you. The management are very supportive. My son is now in the pre school room and loves going and I get regular updates. So cheerful that I put him in this childcare centre couldn’t be happier. Looking forward to adding his sibling soon. My little boy has been in Kids Planet Worsley since the day it was launched.

January 22, 2025 at 9:34 amThe team are incredible with everything they do! My little girl loves it and argues with me on a weekend about how she wants to come in! The resources they playtime with are out of this world! My girls fave is the large interactive tablet! Each room has its own outdoor garden, so the kids consistently get access to an outdoor area! My girl has attended since it opened, and as a mother working full time, they put me so much as ease; she has come on leaps and bounds! And the food, well, she eats better than me at the restaurant! A massive shoutout to the manager and her team, they help me with any problems that I have, and have ensured that the COVID procedures are sky-high what takes a massive weight of your shoulder during this pandemic. I couldn’t suggest any higher; they truly are the best. Thank you to all the team at Kids Planet Worsley for everything you do! You could not choose a better childcare centre to go to!

January 29, 2025 at 4:57 pmOur kid settled in quickly and really enjoys attending. Team are consistently very welcoming and supportive and our kid talks fondly of his educators.
They often put special days on for certain holidays which our kid gets really excited about.
The app that gives daily feedback is also excellent as it’s regularly updated with new pictures. We would highly suggest Kids Planet Worsley.
Fallon Pierce
February 26, 2025 at 5:30 pmAll the team made her sense very welcome with cheerful faces and lots of activities for her to do throughout the day. My little girl grew with self‑assurance at this childcare centre and they definitely had her ready and prepared to start big school in September. She still talks about childcare centre and misses the team and her friends. Would definitely suggest. I couldn’t have picked a better childcare centre for my little girl to go to.

March 22, 2025 at 1:33 amIt is a modern building with excellent security. Space was important for my kid and I was pleased to see they had lots of room for playtime and kids were allowed outdoors in reasonable weather (in supplied puddle suits if necessary). My kid could run around and let off steam in a secure setting. My kid has been at this childcare centre for around 6 months so far starting in toddlers and now in pre-school. I was pleased to see how well the team supported my kid in the transition and how they greet every time with a inviting welcome and by name. The added bonus of seeing my kid’s development on a database and what has been eaten and how much, photo updates and the discovering of new skills is also encouraging. I initially visited a number of nurseries prior to this one and was pleased with their COVID policy about wearing face masks and apron during my induction around the childcare centre.

April 5, 2025 at 9:56 amWe get regular updates on the app for how our daughter is doing each day. There is plenty to do/playtime with and the activities planned are consistently very thoughtful (practiced un-wrapping presents before Christmas). The food is also outstanding – plenty offered to the kids regularly throughout the day. Team are welcoming and approachable which makes drop-off very easy. Adore this childcare centre.
Milan Bailey
April 28, 2025 at 5:44 amAccess can be tricky (fingerprint scanner works only one time in five) and the class sizes do seem large but overall our son loves going and we can definitely see the benefit in sending him. Benefits are even more immediately obvious as they are so great at keeping the app updated! Really great journey, most importantly the team genuinely seem to care and make every effort.
Morgan Hobbs
May 11, 2025 at 4:42 amHe is so cheerful and settled and has made lots of friends. The team are very welcoming and welcoming and work really hard to ensure all the kids’s needs are met. There is consistently plenty of information passed on about my kid’s day at pickups, as well as the updates on the app. My little boy has been attending the childcare centre for almost 12 months.

May 24, 2025 at 6:28 pmMy kid has been in the baby’s room for the last four months, and we have had to pull her out due to a continuous poor level of care. I don’t even know where to begin with the issues but red bottom, upset when we pick her up (doesn’t cry at home and is a super cheerful baby), covered in food/dirt/snots when we have collected her, poor updates from team and especially in relation to holidays and room changes, no personal touch with regards her development. The list could go on. Her Key Worker has been the only team member who has really given us a personal touch and provided a high standard of care but unfortunately, the continuous issues have outweighed the want to keep her there. That combined with increasing fees when we’ve never even been able to see inside the childcare centre due to still not allowing parents in because of covid. I would definitely not suggest this childcare centre to friends and family. I can only speak about my journey of this childcare centre and it has been an awful one for us.

June 6, 2025 at 10:05 pmMy kid obtained a serious injury at this setting by a kid who I was informed was on 1-1 when it happened (I’d already rung up when she got home from her previous day at childcare centre as she was covered in scratches on both arms, neck and face (complete with nail marks in her face). Apparently, none of the team had noticed these but informed me they know who has done it and he is on 1-1. Within an hour of my daughter being around this kid in her next day at childcare centre, she was bitten on the face complete with around 6 teeth marks that had broken the skin. Despite my complaint to the childcare centre regarding this, they seem to have missed the point and not taken anything on board to ensure this doesn’t happen to any more kids going forward and jumped on the defence. I’m not usually one to write complaints and reviews but I sense like when I looked for nurseries for my daughter, I would have rather read honest reviews. Terrible childcare centre, do not use!
Hayden Randall
June 14, 2025 at 6:45 amMy little boy has been attending since July 2021. He’s in the baby’s room, but often wanders into the tots’ room now he’s wandering around.
The team are fantastic with him. The care, attention and adore they have for the kids is remarkable. I consistently get a call if he’s had a bump being adventurous. The updates on the app and photos of how what he’s up to help me sense connected.
The menu and the food is incredible. I wish I was eating there! Such variety and thought gone into this.
The team consistently have time to find out about my son, they go out of their way to greet him (from both rooms). When we pick him up they give him a run down of how he’s been that day.
Our son is absolutely thriving there. He’s cheerful and runs into the room. He absolutely loves all the team. He’s discovering loads, coming home with new words and dance moves.
Thanks for being so fantastic. We are so pleased we managed to get into this childcare centre.
