Nursery in Blackpool: Victoria Hospital

Kids Planet Victoria Hospital

Kids Planet Victoria Hospital is situated within the grounds of Victoria Hospital Blackpool and is an exclusive nursery for NHS staff and public sector workers. We provide exceptional early years education and care for children from babies to preschoolers, in a setting designed to inspire learning and growth.

One of the unique benefits of attending Kids Planet Victoria Hospital is our incredible location, just an eight-minute walk from Blackpool Zoo. Our children enjoy regular trips to the zoo, where learning comes to life. From spotting giraffes and lions to hearing the chatter of monkeys, each visit sparks curiosity, conversation, and a love for the natural world. These experiences help build language skills, expand knowledge of animals and habitats, and foster an appreciation for wildlife.

Our nursery also benefits from a dedicated sensory room and large outdoor spaces, giving children the opportunity to explore, play, and develop their skills in a safe and stimulating environment. With a highly qualified team committed to supporting each child’s individual journey, we ensure every little one feels secure, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
