About Us

Kids Planet Carrington

Established in 1991 and acquired by Kids Planet in 2022, Kids Planet Carrington is set within a beautiful Victorian building and provides a warm, welcoming environment for children aged six weeks to five years. Ideally located for families living locally or commuting into Nottingham, the nursery is proud to offer high-quality early years care and education in a setting that feels like home.

Our long-standing, dedicated team has created a nurturing space where children are supported to develop confidence, independence, and a sense of pride. With thoughtfully designed rooms tailored to each stage of development, we’ve created environments that encourage exploration, creativity, and curiosity. Each room includes a dedicated sensory area, and our cosy Hive space offers a calm and quiet area for group time, reflection, and emotional support.

Outdoors, our garden is a space where imaginations thrive. From nature-based learning to open-ended play, children are given the freedom to think creatively and develop key life skills through hands-on experiences.

As a nursery rooted in the local community, we regularly visit the nearby care home and community gardens, where we tend to our patch to grow flowers, and we proudly support local food banks through regular collection drives. These connections help children understand the importance of kindness, empathy, and giving back.

At Kids Planet Carrington, every child is valued, supported, and inspired to learn and grow in a safe and stimulating environment.

My name is Donna Wait, and I have worked in childcare for over 20 years starting as an apprentice and working my way up to manager. I have a passion to help others and find childcare fascinating, I have watched many children grow through the years and is a pleasure to see them thrive and transition to school. I have two children of my own and I love to spend time with my family.

Learning, cooking, and connecting

Warm Moments Outdoors

Our dedicated firepit space offers a unique way for children to connect with nature, build confidence, and explore the world around them. Whether they’re toasting marshmallows, making noodles, or experimenting with new toppings on toast, these hands-on experiences help develop independence and encourage teamwork. The firepit is also a place for community connection, where little ones can share stories, seasonal traditions, and special moments with visitors. From sensory-rich play to meaningful celebrations, the firepit brings learning to life, sparking curiosity and plenty of joy.

A calming space for connection

The Hive

Our Hive is a warm, welcoming space designed with flexibility and inclusivity in mind. Whether for small group time, stay-and-play sessions with families, or as a quiet, secure area to support children with SEND, The Hive offers a calm environment where every child can feel safe, seen, and supported. With free-flow access to the garden, children can choose to move between indoor and outdoor spaces as they need, helping them thrive at their own pace, in their own way.

Exploring nature the hands-on way

Tools and Trails

We support children to take safe, supported risks in their learning, especially in our outdoor spaces. As part of our Udeskole approach, children use real tools like pruning scissors and saws to safely chop, cut, and explore natural materials such as twigs and logs, always under close supervision and with clear guidance. Alongside hands-on activities, our little explorers love tackling obstacle courses and heading off on nature hunts, building physical confidence, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love for the great outdoors.
