Overview
About Willerby
At Kids Planet Willerby, we provide high-quality early years education and care in a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe, valued and inspired to explore the world around them. Our team supports every child’s individual interests and development, helping them build confidence, independence and a love of learning.
Situated close to the centre of Willerby and around 15 minutes from Hull city centre, our purpose-built nursery provides an engaging setting for children to learn, play and grow.
We are proud to have completed our INSPIRE Accreditation, recognising our commitment to creating meaningful experiences that encourage curiosity, awe and wonder. We believe some of the most valuable learning comes from children’s natural curiosity and opportunities to explore, ask questions and make discoveries for themselves.
Our connection with the local community is an important part of nursery life. Through regular visits to local shops and Haltemprice Library, children can build confidence, develop communication skills and learn more about the community around them.
We understand that choosing a nursery is an important decision for your family. We value strong, trusting relationships with parents and carers, working together to support your child’s wellbeing, learning and development throughout their early years.

Jenny Riggs
ManagerI have been part of the Willerby team since 2019, when I initially joined the setting on a part-time basis while completing my degree in Working with Children, Young People and Families. After graduating with First-Class Honours in 2020, I progressed into the role of Toddler Room Leader, where I developed my passion for supporting children's learning and development. Alongside this, I took on the role of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator (SENDCo), working closely with children, families and external professionals to ensure every child receives the individualised support they need to thrive.
In 2024, I progressed to Deputy Manager, gaining valuable experience supporting the wider nursery team and helping to maintain high standards of care, education and practice across the setting. In 2026, I was incredibly proud to take on the role of Nursery Manager following my previous manager's maternity leave. Having grown alongside the setting over the years, it is a privilege to now lead such a dedicated and passionate team.

Learning Through Fun and Play
Toddlers at Kids Planet Willerby have lots of fun while developing their mathematical skills! In our creative, hands-on environment, children explore shapes, colours, numbers, and sizes, laying the foundation for early numeracy. Through play-based activities, they develop key skills such as problem-solving, recognition, and classification, all while engaging in exciting, interactive activities. It’s a perfect blend of learning and fun, ensuring toddlers are equipped with the skills they need for their future educational journey.
