About Kids Planet Knaresborough
Kids Planet Knaresborough cares for children from six weeks to five years on Manse Lane, with full-day care and plenty of outdoor space to explore. Sensory experiences encourage hands-on discovery, while sports coaching helps children enjoy movement. We adapt support for children with additional needs so they can take part in daily nursery life.
Before your child starts, settling-in sessions give them time to build relationships with the people who will care for them. These visits also help us understand their routines and what makes them feel at ease. Term-time places are available, and on-site parking makes daily arrivals and collections easier.
