About Us

Kids Planet Heddon-on-the-Wall

Kids Planet Heddon-on-the-Wall is a small, close-knit nursery with a strong family feel, allowing us to focus closely on the needs of both children and parents. From the moment you walk through the door, you’ll find a warm, home-from-home environment where your child feels safe, secure, and valued.

Set in a beautiful rural village location, our nursery is surrounded by countryside, with regular trips to local parks and visits to nearby places of interest such as the local vets, village shows, and even Hadrian’s Wall. These real-world experiences help children feel connected to their community and bring learning to life beyond the nursery walls.

Our open-plan spaces give children freedom to explore, discover, and follow their interests, supported by passionate early years educators who create exciting learning opportunities every day. We’re also proud to offer weekly yoga sessions with a dedicated teacher during term time, supporting children’s physical wellbeing, confidence, and mindfulness from an early age.

At Kids Planet Heddon-on-the-Wall, we’re more than a nursery, we’re a community where children grow, families feel supported, and every moment is filled with care, curiosity, and connection.

Learning through Local Adventures

Exploring Beyond the Nursery

At Kids Planet Heddon-on-the-Wall, we make the most of our beautiful rural surroundings and close-knit village location. From countryside walks and local park visits to exploring historic spots like Hadrian’s Wall, every outing brings new learning opportunities for curious little minds.

Our children also enjoy visiting the local vets, popping into village shows, and meeting members of the community, helping them build confidence, social skills, and a sense of connection to the world around them. These trips are carefully planned to support learning across the Early Years Foundation Stage, while offering plenty of fun along the way.

Bringing Learning to Life with Outdoor Play

Adventures Beyond the Classroom

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.

Encouraging movement, mindfulness, and fun

Weekly Yoga Sessions

Every Wednesday, the children take part in yoga sessions led by Clare from Soothing Baby Massage and Children’s Yoga. Clare has been visiting our nursery for many years, and her sessions are always a highlight of the week. The children love learning new moves, developing their balance and coordination, and showing us what they have mastered after each session. These activities not only promote physical wellbeing but also help build focus, confidence, and relaxation skills.
