About Us
Kids Planet Preston East
Kids Planet Preston East, formerly Cliff House Nursery School, is a welcoming nursery in Ribbleton, Preston, set within a spacious property surrounded by a quarter acre of enclosed gardens. Our nursery has a long-standing commitment to providing high-quality early years education and care in a safe, nurturing environment where children feel happy, secure, and valued.
Outdoor learning is an important part of everyday life at Preston East. Our generous garden gives children plenty of space to explore, play, discover nature, and enjoy fresh air throughout the year. From growing and harvesting vegetables to exploring the natural environment, outdoor experiences encourage curiosity, confidence, independence, and a love of the world around them.
Inside, children benefit from carefully considered learning environments and a wide range of resources and activities designed to support every stage of their development. Through play, children are encouraged to be creative, build friendships, try new experiences, and express themselves with confidence.
Our caring and experienced team works closely with families to understand each child’s individual needs and interests, creating a warm home-from-home environment where every child can flourish.
At Kids Planet Preston East, we believe in giving children the freedom to learn through play, explore their surroundings, and develop the confidence and skills they need for their next steps.
