Nursery in Worsley
Kids Planet Worsley is a purpose-built nursery located on City Road and opened in 2019. The nursery benefits from large, spacious rooms and direct access to secure outdoor areas, with a separate roof top garden.
Sarah Balshaw is the nursery manager at Kids Planet Worsley.
I am Level 3 Childcare qualified, and I have worked in nurseries since 2007. Since gaining my Level 3 qualification I worked with different ages of children between 0-5 years. In 2011 I started a new adventure in a primary school however, after 12 months I realised my passion was with younger children and building the foundations to their future.
After climbing the managerial ladder I became a nursery manager in 2015, I then completed my Level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management.
I started working for Kids Planet in September 2019 and I have been part of the setting since we opened our doors. Since working for Kids Planet, I have been given many amazing opportunities from training to sharing positive practise and supporting other settings. I am currently the Designated Safeguarding Lead of the setting, the mental health first aider and fully paediatric first aid trained.
I have 2 beautiful daughters who are 3 and 1 who attend Kids Planet Worsley. My biggest personal ethos is to ensure the environment I am managing is a safe and secure place for children where they can learn and thrive. Ensuring a safe place for parents to feel confident their children are happy and cared for. My door is always open if you need me.
