Topsham House | Kids Planet Nurseries

Kids Planet Topsham House

Kids Planet Topsham House, located in Desford, Leicestershire, has been a trusted part of the community since 1996. Formerly founded by a primary school teacher with a passion for early years education, the nursery continues to provide the highest standard of care for children aged 0–5 years.

With a dedicated and experienced team, the nursery offers a warm, homely environment where children can develop socially, emotionally, and academically. Each day is filled with opportunities to explore, play, and learn through a carefully planned early years curriculum that supports curiosity, confidence, and independence.

Working in close partnership with families, Kids Planet Topsham House strives to ensure every child reaches their full potential in a safe, caring, and inspiring setting.

Karen Haylett

Manager

I am the Nursery Manager at Kids Planet Topsham House. Having qualified in 1993, I joined Topsham House when it first opened in 1996 and have been working in early years education ever since.

I hold an NNEB, a Level 5 HND in Advanced Practice in Working with Children and Families, a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies (Level 6), and Early Years Professional Status (Level 6). I have extensive experience working with children from as young as six weeks through to eleven years, supporting their development at every stage of early childhood.

I am passionate about giving every child the very best start in life, working in close partnership with families, and providing high-quality, inclusive provision. I strongly value being embedded within the local community and supporting children and families beyond the nursery setting.
