Overview
About Canal House
Kids Planet Canal House gives children opportunities to discover through gardening and nature, alongside sensory experiences indoors. Local community visits bring more of their surroundings into the day, with our team helping children build on what they notice. There’s space to be active or spend time on a more focused investigation.
We plan activities around each child’s interests and needs. If your child needs a different approach to play or communication, we adapt our support to help them join in. We pay attention to what works for them and use that understanding in their everyday care and learning.

Andrew Baker
ManagerI am a dedicated Nursery Manager with a passion for early childhood development. I have a lot of experience in managing the day-to-day operations at a busy nursery, making sure everything runs smoothly. When I’m not working, I love spending time with my wife and two children, creating memories, and enjoying family life. Outside of home and work, I’m also the manager of a local football team, where I focus on building teamwork and a strong sense of community. I take pride in balancing my family, career, and personal interests, always striving to be a positive role model in every part of my life.
Adventures Beyond the Classroom
Bringing Learning to Life with Outdoor Play
At Kids Planet, we believe the great outdoors is one of the best learning environments. Our unique nature-based learning encourages children to explore, take on new challenges, and develop essential life skills through hands-on outdoor experiences. Whether it’s discovering wildlife, growing vegetables, or engaging in active play, we provide endless opportunities for children to learn, grow, and thrive in the natural world.
