Kayleigh Nelson

Manager

Throughout my career, I have had many rewarding experiences working with children and families, and I am committed to making sure every child in our care can learn in a safe and secure environment.
My commitments to you and your family:
to cultivate an environment that enables children to progress and grow through play, organising activities and utilising resources to stimulate their learning with wonder and excitement. Play is crucial for cognitive, social, and emotional development in children. It allows them to explore their creativity, develop problem-solving skills, and build relationships with their peers. By engaging in playful activities, children learn to navigate the world around them with curiosity and confidence.

Local adventures spark big learning moments

Exploring the Community

Children at Kids Planet Chris Abell enjoy regular trips into the local area to deepen their understanding of the world around them. From nature walks and park visits to exploring local businesses and community spaces, our outings spark curiosity and provide meaningful, real-life experiences. These visits help children build confidence, practise communication, and learn about the wider world in a hands-on, engaging way.

Explore, Discover, Thrive

Our Sensory Room

Our sensory room is a peaceful, purpose-built space designed to support sensory development and emotional wellbeing, especially for babies and children with additional needs. Featuring gentle lighting, soft textures, and calming sounds, it offers a safe and soothing environment for exploration and regulation. The space encourages focus, relaxation, and early communication through multi-sensory play, and is used for quiet time, individual support, or simply a change of pace, making it an important part of our inclusive approach.

Clothes and books for all to enjoy

Sharing is Caring

We’re proud to support families through small, meaningful initiatives that make a big difference. Our children’s clothing swap shop gives families access to quality, pre-loved clothing while encouraging sustainability and community spirit. Parents are welcome to donate or pick up items as needed, and any unclaimed clothes are donated to charity monthly, with fresh donations regularly added.

Alongside this, our Lending Library invites families to borrow and enjoy a variety of books at home, helping to build a love of stories and support language development. Whether it’s a cosy bedtime read or a fun weekend adventure, the library and swap shop are just two of the many ways we’re here to help families thrive.
