Kids Planet Hazelhurst

Kids Planet Hazelhurst received a Good rating across all areas in June 2025, representing a first inspection for this newly registered setting. The nursery demonstrates strong foundations with effective safeguarding, ambitious curriculum planning, high-quality staff interactions, and excellent provision for children with SEND. The setting is mapped to the November 2025 framework from the legacy 4-area structure (Quality of Education, Behaviour & Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership & Management). Two specific areas for improvement were identified: organisation of group activities (particularly story time) to maximise communication and language development, and age-appropriate literacy curriculum that better reflects children's developmental stages. The setting shows particular strength in parent partnerships, key person relationships, and early intervention practices. With targeted investment in these two identified areas, the nursery is well-positioned to move toward Strong Standard grades within 12 months.
