Testimonials

Tina McLachlan, former owner of Carrington Day Nursery, said:

“I would like to congratulate Kids Planet on acquiring Carrington. The setting has a real passion for doing what is best for the children, and I am confident that the team and our families will be in safe hands. The decision to sell wasn’t easy and my pre-conceptions of a sales process were very daunting. The reality is that, whilst it was still an emotional rollercoaster for me, the process was helped enormously by Kids Planet’s professionalism, calmness and approachability. I felt supported every step of the way and I thank them for making it so smooth. I chose Kids Planet because it was clear they shared our values for high quality childcare and I look forward to seeing the nursery go from strength to strength as part of their group.”

Ajeet Chadda, former owner of Choice Childcare, said:

“Running and growing Choice Childcare over the past decade or so has been a huge part of our lives, and it was never going to be an easy decision to handover the reigns to anyone. However, from the moment we met the Kids Planet team, we knew they were the right people to take the business forward and to the next level. They were a pleasure to deal with from the outset and we wish them every success in establishing presence in the North East.”

Alison and Brian Pulleyn, Former owners of Kinderbear Nursery, said:

“Selling our beloved Kinderbear was always going to be a wrench for us after 20 years in business, we never doubted that. However, from the moment we met Kids Planet we felt an instant warmth. Despite being large, they have maintained a family values ethos that is close to our hearts and something we have always been proud of with our own nursery.

We were delighted to agree a deal and they delivered on their word – the whole sale process ran smoothly and we felt supported throughout. We are certain we found the right home for Kinderbear and it will continue to grow and flourish under Kids Planet. We wish them every success!”

Clare Smith, previous owner at Church House Day Nursery, said:

“Allowing Church House to be taken on by another provider was a very hard and emotional decision as it has been loved and cherished in my family, and especially by me, for 40 years and it is very much my Mum’s legacy.

Therefore, it had to be an established, highly reputable company who will continue to lovingly nurture it, with the same attention to high quality care and education, and where the children, families and staff remain at the centre of the setting. I believe Kids Planet has this same ethos and I trust they will allow Church House to live on with its own history and flavour whilst encapsulating it within their own high-quality brand”.
