Overview
About Goole
At Kids Planet Goole, we provide high-quality early years education and care in a welcoming environment where children are encouraged to explore their interests, develop their ideas and learn through play. Our experienced team supports every child’s individual development, helping them build confidence, creativity and curiosity from their earliest years.
Our single-storey, purpose-built nursery features spacious playrooms and a large outdoor area, giving children plenty of opportunities to explore and discover. We provide a variety of engaging resources, including clay, loose parts and open-ended materials, encouraging children to experiment, solve problems and develop independence. Our participation in the Inspire Accreditation has also helped us enhance our learning environments and provide meaningful opportunities for exploration.
We believe learning extends beyond the nursery, which is why we make the most of opportunities to connect with our local community. Children enjoy visits to the local theatre and care home, alongside educational trips to places such as The Deep, helping them develop communication skills, confidence and a greater understanding of the world around them.
We also maintain strong links with local primary schools to support a positive transition into the next stage of learning. Mealtimes provide further opportunities to explore where food comes from and develop healthy eating habits.
Located on Rawcliffe Road, just 400 yards from Junction 36 of the M62, our nursery is conveniently positioned for local families and those commuting to work.

Heather Lester
ManagerI’m the Nursery Manager here at Goole, and I’ve been part of the Kids Planet team since February 2021. Supporting children and their families is something I truly care about, and I work hard to create a warm, “home‑from‑home” environment where everyone feels safe, valued, and comfortable. I’m here not only for the children in my care, but also to offer guidance, reassurance, and a friendly listening ear to parents and carers.
I started my journey as a Nursery Educator and have grown through the roles of Room Leader, Supervisor, Deputy Manager, and now Manager. Having worked across all areas of the nursery, I’ve gained a deep understanding of children’s development, strong team leadership, and the importance of building trusting, positive relationships with families. My aim is always to provide the very best care and early education for every child, while offering genuine support to the families who place their trust in us.
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.
