Kids Planet Cherry Grove is an out-of-school childcare provision operating from Cherry Grove Primary School in Chester. This inspection report uses the legacy framework (pre-November 2025) which assessed 'Quality and Standards' with an overall 'Met' rating.

The setting demonstrates significant strengths across all areas: safeguarding arrangements are effective with robust procedures and staff training; children feel extremely safe and secure with strong emotional bonds; staff are well-supported with access to professional development; partnership working with the host school is excellent; and children benefit from a range of physical, creative and social activities. The provision shows particular excellence in inclusion, behaviour and well-being, with children demonstrating confidence, independence, and strong social skills.
