January 8, 2020 at 12:00 amMy eldest Son went to this nursery a couple of years ago and I was apprehensive of sending my daughter as it has changed management, however, I am so pleased with the care and commitment the team have shown it has helped both parents and our daughter settle in. Such a daunting time for everyone getting used to a new routine when returning to work and they have helped and continue to support this transition.
Lovely environment and nothing seems a trouble.

January 28, 2020 at 12:00 amI absolutely love Stepping Stones. There is a friendly relaxed environment as soon as you walk through the door.
My little boy really enjoys coming now but he did take a while to settle. During this period I really feel the staff went the extra mile for him to help him settle in!
There is a healthy varied menu for all the meals and apparently the food is ‘delicious’ – this is the review from my little boy.
My youngest has recently started in the baby room and it is so lovely being able to come to work knowing that he is being really well looked after and cared for. Overall I would (and have) recommend this nursery to friends and family!

February 3, 2023 at 12:00 amThe nursery has seen numerous changed since we started using Stepping Stones/Kids Planet back in January 2020. Management, staff, ownership and facilities have all changed in that time and the last Ofsted was concerning.
Since Kids Planet has taken over we have seen numerous positive improvements and we hope this continues throughout 2023 before our daughter starts school in September.

March 29, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth of my children have attended this nursery dating back to 2018. The pandemic was a challenging time but its great to see Kids Planet have taken over and they are taking strides in becoming a first-class nursery setting again. The food has always been incredible and the care my kids have had is exceptional. They always seem to be doing fun activities and do spend a lot of time outside in the facilities there too. I love the relationship my son has with his key workers and I do genuinely think this is a great nursery.

March 29, 2023 at 12:00 amI have had two children at the nursery over the past four years. There have been a lot of staff changes but I feel my boys have been okay with this. The staff are very friendly and when my older child was at the setting he would talk about the activities he did. I feel they have a good variety of activities and a good food menu.

May 29, 2023 at 12:00 amI have 3 children here, one in babies, toddler and preschool. We moved from another nursery and so glad we did. It’s a fantastic nursery with great facilities, especially for preschool. My children are so happy here and thriving. The staff are all lovely and welcoming.

May 30, 2023 at 12:00 amReally happy with Kids Planet.
My child enjoys nursery and seems to be learning lots and making friends.
My child’s key worker is amazing and I can tell my child feels very comfortable around her so it’s nice to not have to worry about him at nursery. We will miss nursery when my child goes to school.

My eldest child is more than ready for school since his experience here.

May 30, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter loves coming to nursery every day. It gives me peace of mind knowing she is being well looked after. Her communication has come on a lot in preschool thanks to what she is taught while here.
Kids Planet Linthwaite is a great nursery setting.

June 7, 2023 at 12:00 amA lot better since being taken over by Kids Planet.
The app has been really good to see what children get up to at nursery and how they are progressing.
Menu’s seem good – my child eating different things to what he does at home.
Communication is a lot better.

June 7, 2023 at 12:00 amWhat a wonderful experience and joy it is to see my granddaughter so happy and developing in a very caring and friendly environment. The staff are wonderful the way they engage with the children, my grandchild has thrived since. She has been coming here for the last 3 years +. The staff do so much and the activities are very varied and help develop their individual skills and talents. The food always smells amazing when I pick her up and she always greets me with a big smile having a happy day!

June 7, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended this setting since she was 11 months old and has gone from strength to strength.
Since moving to the preschool room, she has thrived and come into her own. She loves to attend and has made some great friends here.

June 14, 2023 at 12:00 amI am extremely happy with every aspect of my daughter’s nursery. From the very beginning, staff have been very welcoming and knowledgeable and gone the extra mile to create a special bond with her – especially her keyworker. The baby room is a calm, clean and well-organised learning environment with a wide range of well-thought-out activities on a daily basis. The introduction of the app is great for keeping me well-informed and updated on how much fun she is having. Thank you so much.

June 22, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter, aged 4, is very happy at Kids Planet Linthwaite. The manager and her carers in the pre-school room obviously care for her well and are friendly and welcoming. The food is of a high standard.
The activities are thoughtful and engaging and the staff are keen to let us know what she has enjoyed and excellent.
There are opportunities to interact with the child in the setting.

June 28, 2023 at 12:00 amI could not be any happier with the way all staff members have helped my toddler to settle in to nursery. He loves going to every session which is a massive turn around from the start. I definitely chose the right nursery for my boy.
