Flexible Childcare

Childcare that works around family life

Every family is different, which is why we offer flexible childcare options, from full-day and part-time sessions to funded childcare. Our nursery teams can help you find an arrangement that works for your family and your child.

A routine that works for you

Many of our nurseries offer a choice of full-day, half-day and part-time sessions, with availability varying by location.

If you’re unsure which option is right for your family, your local nursery team can talk you through what’s available and help you find an arrangement that works around your childcare needs while supporting your child’s routine.

Designed around busy family life

Most Kids Planet nurseries are open Monday to Friday for the majority of the year, with extended opening hours to support working families.

Opening times vary by nursery, so you’ll always find the most up-to-date hours on your local nursery page or by speaking directly with the team.

Making the most of your funded hours

Many families are eligible for government-funded childcare, but understanding the different options can sometimes feel complicated.

Our Fees & Funding information explains what support may be available and how funded hours can be used at your chosen nursery.

Flexibility with a familiar routine

Flexibility is important, but so is consistency.

Children thrive when they spend time with familiar people, follow reassuring routines and build secure relationships with those caring for them. We know sometimes you may need flexibility and want to book additional sessions, you can add additional sessions easily using the Famly parent communications app.

We’ll work with you to find an arrangement that supports your family while giving your child the consistency they need to feel settled, confident and ready to enjoy their day.
