May 23, 2016 at 12:00 amMy little girl who is 2 has been with her little lions family since January, and she loves being there. She has come on so so much in the last few months. Singing nursery rhymes to us, telling us about all the fun things she does indoors and outdoors, and all the girls who work there are brilliant and very friendly. Thank you, and very highly recommend xxxx

July 6, 2017 at 12:00 amLittle Lions is an excellent setting which provides care, love and education for all children attending. We have been delighted since our daughter joined at 9 months old (she is now almost 2!) The team are exceptionally kind and supportive to both children and parents. Our daughter loves Little Lions and so do we.

July 18, 2017 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending nursery since he was 7 months old. He is now 2 and a half years and loves it. The staff are so caring and plan lots of activities. He has learnt lots of new skills and his speech is progressing well. He has a fantastic bond with his key worker. All the team are helpful and can’t do enough to support everyone. If we have any more children Little Lions is where they will go.

July 21, 2017 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended Little Lions for over a year now. The staff in the baby room were brilliant, always welcoming and caring and she loved going in. She has now moved to the Toddler room upstairs, the staff all made sure the move was smooth and as stress-free as possible which, it was. She loves going in and gets excited about going to nursery. All the girls are friendly and welcoming. They have lots of different play areas, role play, messy play and construction just to name a few. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since going to Little lions and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

November 12, 2019 at 12:00 amMy little boy recently started attending Kids Planet at the beginning of September 2019. Our experience so far has been nothing but excellent. Initially, when dropping my little boy off in a morning, he would cry but the staff would reassure both my little boy and me (they would send me a picture once he was calm to reassure me he was ok).
The staff are amazing. My little boy loves going to nursery and I can see a huge change in his confidence and learning new skills.

November 20, 2019 at 12:00 amStaff are caring towards the children and it isn’t a clinal environment.
Staff turnover is obviously fairly high and management at Kids Planet should consider how to improve staff retention.

November 29, 2019 at 12:00 amStaff are lovely, the facilities inside are very good. The outdoor play area is small and needs on outside too for the children to self-care. Currently, they use the downstairs toilet inside. They manage this small play area well with staggard playtime which the children love. Food is great, daughter loves it. I do think some food options could be healthier.
We’ve been very happy here and we’ll be sad to leave when the time comes.

November 7, 2022 at 12:00 amThey take really good care of my daughter.
My daughter cries a lot when I drop her off, however, one member of the staff (whom she is most comfortable with) will always come to pick her up and makes sure that she is calm. She is so used to being carried around all the time and I was surprised that they did the same at the nursery.
They would always give proper feedback when we go to pick her up. My daughter was late to walk and when she started walking I saw the same excitement in the eyes of the staff.
When she was in another room she started crying again, however, staff would send me photos and notes on the app affirming that she was okay.
Very pleased with the experience.

March 7, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little boy has been attending for nearly a year now. He started in the baby room. He took to the staff and settled in straight away. They noticed how much he enjoyed messy play and water, offering him a range of exciting activities to get stuck into and explore. He has now recently moved up into the tots room. The tots staff have done an amazing job at helping him and myself with the transition. I get updates on the app and photos of the range of activities he’s investigating.
On collection, my son has always been happy and content. Staff have always given me great feedback from both rooms and have shown great knowledge of my son’s development and interests. This is reassuring knowing I’m leaving him in great hands.

March 20, 2023 at 12:00 amMy child has attended Kids Planet Chesterfield since being 9 months and is now leaving for school this year. They have cared for him so well, he gets a little upset when dropping him off but they always let me know he’s settled and is playing. When I collect him he always looks like he’s having fun so I can tell that he enjoys being there, he loves talking about what he’s been up to and about his friends. He loves the staff and the food and they take the kids out on trips which he loves. They send regular updates in the app with pictures of what he’s been up to. His speech has come on so well since starting nursery and he’s super excited to go to school. It’s really nice seeing all the pictures he has drawn and even practicing writing his own name.

June 2, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son attended here for 2 years prior to school and was always well cared for, staff always communicated with me thoroughly on pick-up and using their online app. He learned how to write his name, the alphabet and counting 1-20 before starting reception so he already had a head start which was brilliant.
My daughter now attends and has been through baby, tots and toddler rooms. She has an autism diagnosis so naturally it is hard for me to trust people with her but the staff have done their upmost to accommodate her individual needs and pay extra care and attention. I can tell that two members of staff in particular have taken their time to get to know my daughter as they know her needs very well. There have been the odd times where I’ve pulled staff on something very minimal and it was dealt with accordingly with no further issue. They are open to learning and taking on board your opinions or preferences – which you don’t always get from the staff at other nurseries!

July 31, 2023 at 12:00 amWonderful nursery. Initial observations as you enter are that it is a very organised, structured, fun and very welcoming place.
My son was slightly behind the curve with his speech development however since joining Kids Planet his speech has developed to expected levels. Through the app and through the development feedback I have noticed a very detailed and attentive focus on any weak areas, as well as developing areas where he is very confident. All members of the team are very polite, engaging and exceptionally helpful regards all matters. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. I even appreciate how dirty and messy his clothes are that get packed up and sent home with him, despite the additional labour, It shows that the children have great fun!
