Overview
About Duston
Kids Planet Duston is based in a community centre, with practical support for families as part of nursery life. A lending library offers stories to share at home, while our coat swap and food bank help where they’re needed.
Children learn through hands-on play, supported by a friendly and qualified team that gets to know their interests and development. Settling-in visits let your child become familiar with our nursery and the people who will care for them before starting. They also give you time to talk about your child’s needs. Pram storage is available for families arriving on foot.

Holly Hickling
ManagerHello! my name is Holly, the Nursery Manager here at Kids Planet Duston.
Our nursery is a warm, welcoming space right in the heart of the community, where every child is nurtured, inspired, and encouraged to thrive. My dedicated team and I are passionate about creating exciting learning experiences—both inside and outside the classroom. We love working closely with local families and exploring the world around us together.
One of the things that makes us truly special? We have two nursery minibuses, which means we can take the children on amazing adventures beyond the local area—bringing learning to life in fun and memorable ways. We believe in giving children the chance to discover, explore, and grow every single day.
We’d love to welcome you and your little one to our nursery family - come and see what makes Kids Planet Duston such a special place to learn and play!
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.
