Kids Planet Hanford

Nursery in Hanford

Kids Planet Hanford nursery prides itself on providing the highest quality of childcare for babies through to preschool. With more than 50 years of experience between the highly qualified team, the Hanford nursery is the ideal setting for little ones to play, learn, and explore, in a welcoming environment with natural resources.

Nursery Manager Hayley has worked in Hanford since 2005 working in various roles and completing a number of qualifications. “I am passionate about children’s mental health and well being as well as continuing Hanford’s involvement in available accreditations, our commitment to Eco initiative and community involvement. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my extremely large family, where there is never a dull moment, travelling with my husband and taking long walks with our dog Steve!”

At Kids Planet, we have put together our very own Forest School inspired outdoor learning approach called ‘Udeskole’ that many of our nurseries are training towards and Kids Planet Hanford has already completed!

Udeskole is a Scandinavian concept that translates to “outdoor school” and is an educational approach to outdoor learning. Udeskole focuses on nature-based learning experiences and encourages children to spend more time outdoors studying local wildlife and plants, directly engaging with nature and their environment and helping them to develop their sense of self.
