Kids Planet Day Nurseries
Kids Planet is a family-owned, award-winning nursery group founded by Chief Executive Clare Roberts and her father, Chairman John Hoban. Clare’s sister, Lucy Kaczmarska, joined as Operations Director in 2013, further strengthening our leadership team and helping ensure the business continues to uphold its family values. Since its inception, Kids Planet has grown into one of the UK’s leading nursery groups, now proudly operating over 300 nurseries. We remain dedicated to providing outstanding early years education, supported by our exceptional team of skilled and passionate employees.
