About Chris Abell

Kids Planet Chris Abell welcomes children from three months through to preschool in a purpose-built nursery within the University of Cambridge grounds. Large, open-plan rooms give children space to play and activities are planned to suit each stage of development. Our qualified and welcoming team helps them explore their interests and learn through doing.

Secure access and CCTV in every room form part of our nursery’s safety arrangements. Public transport links make us convenient to reach, while on-site parking and electric vehicle charging points support families arriving by car helping families fit nursery into journeys between home and work.

    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.

Our Sensory Room

Explore, Discover, Thrive

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.
