Childcare in Blackpool
Kids Planet Blackpool is nestled in an old Vicarage on the main route into Blackpool and very close to the beach. The carefully designed nursery was fully refurbished in 2018, further enhancing the excellent standard of care and education our experienced staff can provide for the children. Our highly qualified team genuinely cares and will work closely with you to ensure we look after your child and plan exciting learning opportunities.
Cathryn Wilkinson is the Nursery Manager at Kids Planet Blackpool.
I have been a nursery manager since 2020, at a different Kids Planet setting, and at Blackpool since the Summer of 2024. I have a bachelor’s Degree (with honours) in Primary Education and over 25 years of experience as a Primary Headteacher. I am also the Designated Safeguarding Lead for the nursery and fully trained in Paediatric First aid. I have two grown-up children of my own, and my daughter has followed in my footsteps and is also a qualified early years practitioner!
My passion is the personal, social, and emotional development of young children as they grow into young people. I love that we can make a difference in the lives of those we look after and equally that they can learn through play, exploration, and having fun! My joy is in assessing children’s progress through observation and, as a professional, using my own experience and expertise to support our children in the very best way I can.
