Kids Planet Austhorpe

Happy, welcoming staff. We’re kept informed on what’s happening within the nursery. There’s always an event or celebration connected to the wider world. There’s a good mix of learning opportunities.
Most importantly, my daughter is happy, engaged and kept safe.

My little boy comes here two mornings a week, my eldest who is now 11, also used to come.
It is an amazing nurser, with really friendly staff, and always goes over and beyond.
My little boy absolutely loves it; he is a clingy baby and doesn’t go to many people, but happily waves bye-bye to myself (mummy) and his daddy in the morning.
I highly recommend it; they support potty training and anything you are doing at home, which helps improve there too.
Thank you to all the lovely staff.

Great staff, My daughter has come along in leaps and bounds since going to this nursery. She loves the staff, and I know she is safe, fed and happy with them. Very flexible with my shifts and understanding management.

My daughter loves attending nursery here. The staff are always friendly, warm and caring and have really taken their time to get to know her and her interests. She has developed in confidence since starting at nursery and has benefited from socialising with children her own age. There are always interesting activities set out in the room, and the themes are ones that she enjoys and talks about at home. The food menu is varied and encourages her to be more adventurous with the things she tries.

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to send my young ones for the last four years. Great learning environment and fabulous staff who genuinely care about the kids. Can’t say enough good things about Sunbeams.

I have 2 children at the nursery one in preschool and one in the toddler room, both seem to enjoy it and have made good friendships and relationships with the staff. They have become more confident and independent and enjoy the activities set up for them. The staff are all very friendly and the food menus seem good and varied. The Blossom App is useful to see what they have been up to (but it is often slow to update and notify me of the days update). Overall I am pleased with the nursery and how they have helped my children develop.

My son absolutely loves coming to nursery here. The staff are incredible and show so much care and attention, remembering so many little details about him and relaying information to me on what he’s been up to during his days. Communication from the manager is always outstanding, she responds to any queries quickly and whoever is on the reception desk always greets you with a smile. Both of my children have attended this nursery and I have never had any complaints and would highly recommend to anyone!

Both of my children have been to Kids Planet Sunbeams Austhorpe. My three year old son is there currently. I chose Sunbeams Austhorpe as it came highly recommend by many of my friends, most of who are primary teachers. I have been very impressed with the care that is provided. Many of the carers have looked after both of my children and I have got to know them well. Retainment of staff suggests that it is a positive environment for people to work, which is reflected in the care provided. The carers are very loving and calming and seem to show genuine care towards all the children. The rooms are always clean and tidy and both of my children have enjoyed the food. There is always lots of messy play, singing and dancing. The outside area is fantastic and the children get lots of fresh air regularly. Two staff members are always extremely helpful if I have any queries. My children have made strong bonds with their carers and I feel confident that they will enjoy their day on leaving them!

My daughter is always happy to attend nursery. She is currently in the infant room, and all of the staff have made sure that my daughter is well cared for; she is very happy here, which shows when I collect her as she doesn’t want to leave. Having this care has made my transition back to work a lot easier.

I can honestly say that Kids Planet Austhorpe (formerly Sunbeams) have been nothing short of amazing with my daughter as she’s progressed from room to room. The staff in each room are courteous, knowledgeable and have a great (natural) way with the children, especially during drop off/pick up which can be very stressful for little ones. My only negative is that I notice that the odd lunch / tea menu choice being the reverse of what I’d give at home, e.g. cold meal for lunch, hot meal for tea but this is rare. The reports are great as they cover all manner of my daughter’s development. If I have any questions about anything the staff do their utmost to respond within a day.
