Overview
About Mereside Farm
Kids Planet Mereside Farm offers children a countryside setting in a converted farmhouse and outbuildings surrounded by fields. Large outdoor areas and modernised indoor spaces give children places to explore, with nearby wildlife and horses bringing nature into their everyday surroundings. We’re down a quiet lane with access from main roads.
Our team works closely with parents to understand each child and support their development. Those relationships help us plan learning around individual interests, using the experiences children have through play. We encourage children as they investigate and try new things, offering support when they need it.

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.
