Overview
About Whitwood
Kids Planet Whitwood offers large rooms for children’s play in a converted public house. Outdoor areas are used through the seasons, with nature-based experiences encouraging children to investigate for themselves. Sensory play indoors allows children to wonder and explore different textures and materials, supported by adults who follow your child’s interests.
When a child needs additional support, we adapt their care and learning to help them take part. We pay attention to what makes them comfortable and how they communicate, using that understanding throughout the day. Your child has time to explore at their own pace, with familiar adults ready to help when an experience is new.
