Day Nursery in Barrow-in-Furness (Old Vic)

Kids Planet Old Vicarage

Kids Planet Old Vicarage has been a trusted part of the Barrow-in-Furness community since 1995.

In 2004, the nursery expanded with a purpose-built second building to welcome children aged two and above, while continuing to care for babies through to pre-school age.

Open all year round and located in the heart of town, the setting offers enriching indoor and outdoor spaces, alongside regular outings to nearby amenities and attractions to help children connect with the wider world.

With a dedicated, long-standing team, including a management team with over 40 years of combined experience, the nursery provides a nurturing, stimulating environment where every child can thrive and begin their early education journey with confidence.

Mel Taylor

Manager

I joined the team in 2015, starting as an apprentice and progressing through roles including Room Leader and Deputy Manager. I’ve been proud to lead the team as Nursery Manager for the past three years.
I hold a Level 3 Early Years Practitioner qualification, along with Paediatric First Aid and DSL training. I’ve also completed additional training in Baby Care, Autism Awareness, School Readiness, and Behaviour Management.
I’m passionate about early years development and love building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families. Having worked across all age groups, I make it a priority to connect with every child and celebrate what makes them unique.
