July 11, 2022 at 12:00 amSo far, so great, especially under the new management. Last weekend, we enjoyed the picnic activity with all the Kids’ Planets Nursery. It was a great and lovely time to catch up, see parent friends and their kids from the other nurseries, the kids engaging with one another, finally meet some of the parents and have time for a good chat. The staff there was very welcoming and friendly. I had fun myself with the paper mache! The token bag at the end was very kind. Thank you for organising this event. Hope there is more to come. Now, regarding the nursery itself, it is very well located (short walking distance for us), which is a plus! The classical music in the background (especially in the morning) is quite soothing. The welcoming refreshments every Thursday is very thoughtful. Meals are diverse; it would be helpful to access meal plans for the week (e.g. in the weekly newsletter). Staff pictures and names at the entrance of each room would be beneficial. All the best!

July 18, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter is very happy and well settled into the Woodstock Road nursery. She likes all of the staff who are lovely and kind. She is always so happy and having lots of fun when we collect her at the end of each of her sessions. The staff are also very helpful with advice and support regarding development stages such as toilet training. We are thrilled with the progress our daughter has been making since joining the Woodstock Road nursery, which has given her an important opportunity to learn to socialise as early as possible before starting school.

December 6, 2022 at 12:00 amWe are extremely happy with the care that our daughter has received at Woodstock Road Nursery. The staff are lovely, hardworking and conscientious. She is very happy/ looks forward to going to nursery each day. There are lots of events and opportunities for the kids to get involved in themed days. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly and keen to really get to know the children and make sure they are cared for. I would highly recommend Woodstock Day Nursery to other parents.

January 16, 2023 at 12:00 amWe moved our children out of Woodstock Road after a long period of decline. Our oldest child started in late 2019 and we were happy with it then. But as the sector generally struggled, staff left and the nursery came under the management of Kids Planet the nursery failed to meet basic standards of safety and hygiene for both our children (our youngest started in 2022). After complaints, and with the introduction of a couple of really good staff, we felt things were improving. But these staff left, Kids Planet didn’t seem to take the problems seriously, and we lost confidence in the nursery to keep the children safe. Staff didn’t know which children were expected to attend or who their named key person was. There were few activities visible beyond crowd control. Our oldest started having regular nightmares which have stopped shortly after switching to another nursery. When we left in August 2022 no staff remained from when we had joined. I would not recommend this nursery.

The team in tots are a testament to the nursery.

March 6, 2023 at 12:00 amKids Planet Woodstock Road has been completely transformed since the new manager started in September 2022. She inherited a complete mess and I’m amazed at the progress she has made in such a short time. Our child has had the same three key workers in the room since October and regularly mentions them at home. The outside space has just been redone and is looking fantastic with a lovely mud kitchen and outdoor eating area!
There are regular activities which my daughter really enjoys and I love seeing photos of her taking part.

May 29, 2023 at 12:00 amOverall good experience, progressively getting better since we first started in September.
My baby is happy coming to nursery and we see him developing new skills.
Staff are very kind and always helpful.
On the points to work further, I would welcome the daily updates through the app that could be sent on time.
We are also worried that our baby has changed 4 keyworkers since September. Thank you.

June 9, 2023 at 12:00 amOutstanding staff and excellent facilities. As a parent, it was really hard for me to leave a crying child in the care of others, but the staff here made it so much easier for us! They were so supportive, accommodating and they put in a lot of effort into helping our little one settle in. It’s still a journey but I can see that my toddler enjoys the activities and is fond of the caretakers.
The effort put in to understand the native language of the kids is very commendable. My little one speaks 2 other languages and the staff have taken every effort to connect by asking for word lists etc.
A few small areas of improvement would be more regular updates on the ParentZone app and maybe a bit more variety in the kids meals. But these are small matters.
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my experience with the Kids Planet Woodstock Road nursery. And I’m so grateful to every member of the staff who takes such good care of my precious little one. You are all angels!
