Kids Planet Woodlands

🏅☀️ We've had amazing Sports Days across many of our wonderful nurseries over the past few weeks! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💚

From exciting races and obstacle courses to lots of cheering, teamwork and a little healthy competition, our children have had the best time celebrating together. 🎉👏

Led by our trained sports coaches and enthusiastic nursery teams, Sports Day helps children build confidence, develop key physical skills and discover just how much fun being active can be. Every child is encouraged to get involved, give it their best, support their friends and enjoy every moment. 🌟💚

We're delighted to be opening the doors to Kids Planet Sandymoor this September.

Our brand-new, purpose-built nursery in Runcorn has been thoughtfully designed to give children the very best start, with inspiring learning environments, spacious outdoor play areas, nutritious chef-prepared meals and our nature-based Udeskole approach to learning.

The nursery will provide 128 childcare places and create 44 new jobs, supporting even more local families with high-quality early years education and care and supporting our community.

We're looking forward to welcoming families to our launch event on Saturday 5th September, where you'll have the opportunity to explore the nursery, meet the team and discover everything Kids Planet Sandymoor has to offer.

Here’s to celebrating all the friendships that make our nurseries such special places! 🌈

A huge thank you to every member of our team for creating a place where people can grow, develop their careers, and be themselves every day. 💚

Our challenge is well underway, and we've loved seeing children across our nurseries making the most of the great outdoors. 🍃

We've done it again! 🏆

For the second year running, Kids Planet has been named the UK's #1 Best Workplace for Women™ 2026 by Great Place To Work

As a female-founded business with a workforce made up predominantly of women, this recognition reflects our longstanding passion for creating an environment where careers can grow alongside your personal life, ambition is recognised, and support is more than just a policy.

In a sector built around care, we're proud to extend that same commitment to our people. From enhanced maternity support and return-to-work benefits to leadership opportunities and career development pathways, we're focused on removing barriers, not creating them.

What makes this achievement especially meaningful is that it's driven by employee feedback. It represents the experiences of the women across our company who help shape our culture every day. Being named #1 again is a testament to the incredible people who make Kids Planet what it is. Thank you!

Learning and development are at the heart of every career at Kids Planet. As a family‑led childcare group, we put heart into everything, supporting not only the children but also the people who care for them. 🌱

Through our very own Kids Planet Training Academy 📚, colleagues have access to apprenticeships, recognised qualifications, specialist training and leadership development programmes, ensuring they have the knowledge, skills and confidence to continue growing throughout their careers. ✨

Progression isn't limited to one pathway. 🌿 Whether it's developing within an existing role, stepping into a senior position, moving into nursery leadership or exploring opportunities across our central support teams, there are a range of career routes available for colleagues looking to take the next step. Over the past year, this has included over 900 internal promotions across the business.

By investing in continuous learning and creating clear pathways for progression, we're proud to support careers that grow alongside the people behind them, creating careers with purpose. 💚

It's Plastic Free July, the perfect time to celebrate how small everyday choices can make a BIG difference! 💙

We're so proud of our partnership with Kit & Kin and the positive impact we're making together for the planet our children will grow up in. 🌎

By using Kit & Kin's hypoallergenic nappies across our nurseries, every nappy change helps support incredible environmental projects.

Together, we've already helped protect over 200 acres of precious rainforest. 🌴

Every Kit & Kin product plays a part in creating a cleaner, greener future for generations to come. It's proof that even the smallest everyday moments can have an incredible impact.

Thank you to all our wonderful families for being part of this journey with us. Together, we're helping create a world that's kinder to children, kinder to nature, and kinder to our future.

We are incredibly proud to be sponsoring the Community Support Award at the upcoming Nursery World Awards, taking place on Saturday 26th September at The Brewery, London. 🙌

Community is one of our core values, and we know firsthand the positive impact that strong support networks have on our families and local communities. That's why we're honoured to recognise the individuals and organisations making a real difference across the early years sector. 💙

We look forward to celebrating the inspiring achievements of this year's finalists, and highlighting the incredible work being done to strengthen communities and improve outcomes for children and families.
Congratulations and good luck to all involved - we can't wait to celebrate with you in London. 💫
