Overview
About Blackburn
Surrounded by trees, Kids Planet Blackburn (Fernhurst Court) gives children from six weeks to five years a woodland setting to explore. An outdoor classroom and all-weather play spaces bring nature into the day, while indoors, children can get creative and messy play or find a cosy corner.
Local outings offer more to discover, with our team following your child’s interests and supporting their learning through play. Settling-in visits allow a gradual introduction to nursery and time to get to know our team before starting. Families can choose term-time attendance, and on-site parking helps with journeys to and from nursery.

Calm in the Nurture Nook
A gentle space for small groups
Our Nurture Nook is a calm, inviting area designed to support emotional wellbeing and sensory regulation. Whether used for quiet time, small group sessions, or one-to-one support, this cosy space gives children the chance to reflect, recharge, and build positive relationships. It's just one of the ways we focus on supporting every child as an individual.
