Our Summary
About Us
Kids Planet George Perkins is an Ofsted "Good" rated nursery (May 2024) situated just 2.5 miles from the City Centre. The emphasis is on ensuring their practice is the best it can be and in 2017 received Level 3 accreditation as a “Healthy Setting” which led on to being shortlisted for the 2017 Nursery World Awards in the Health and Wellbeing category, recognising their “Building Healthy Lives” initiative.
The nursery aims to be the children’s second home and they have embraced the cosy atmosphere of being based in a house whilst being versatile in the use of space, keeping separate rooms for small groups of children when needed and then opening up to provide a free-flow environment to maximise access to a wide range of facilities and opportunities for them to develop. The nursery is divided into three units, the Under 2s (Babies and Tots), Toddlers and Preschool.
Parents are recognised as their children’s first educators and communication between home and nursery is encouraged in a variety of ways. In addition to the informal discussions held regularly with parents regarding day to day developments, biannually Parents’ Evenings are held, providing reports detailing children’s progress and which also offer workshops on aspects of child development and parenting.
Regular newsletters are sent out to keep parents informed and there are several opportunities to go into the nursery to join in with activities with their child; there are regular “Stay and Play” sessions as well as opportunities like pancake making on Pancake Day, afternoon tea on Mothers Day and many more festivities.

Kids Planet George Perkins is an excellent nursery. The staff are all amazing - so friendly and caring. We feel very reassured as we know our son is in safe hands. Very good communication with feedback every day and information in real time on the app.
They do great activities and spend lots of time in the garden, which we feel is very important.
Our son is extremely attached to his key worker and other staff members and it is definitely a home-from-home for him. He loves going and has blossomed since starting here.
I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent!

My son started at Kids Planet George Perkins 3 years ago in the toddler room, and progressed to the pre-school room downstairs.
He has always really enjoyed going there and looks forward to his days at nursery. Staff are caring, kind and do the best they can for the children. Several staff members have many years of experience. They encourage outdoor play and a range of activities.
I have already recommended this nursery to my work colleagues. One colleague subsequently joined and has also been very happy.
Many thanks.

My daughter absolutely loves nursery and I really LOVE this nursery. All the staff as well as the manager are really supportive. They are big on safe guarding which is great as I know my child is safe and in the best hands. Since my daughter started in the under 2’s room last year and then moving into the toddler room, both her key workers have been amazing and very informative. I always love to hear what she has been up to and have noticed such a change at home in her speech and development. From my experience here so far, I would definitely highly recommend.
