Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Staff are consistently engaging & creative in the activities provided for children in their care. As a parent, I am confident in the empathy, care & support with learning my child receives whilst at nursery. I especially enjoy how much outdoor play is done, the facilities allow for huge amounts of role
play & physical development. My child had created lasting relationships with other children & staff, as have I as a parent. The staff are the key ingredient to making the nursery a great place to be.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter joined in the baby room and is currently in toddlers.
The staff are brilliant! I cannot fault their care for my daughter. She runs into nursery the 2 days she's in each week and is excited to go which is just great to see!
The only thing I am concerned about is the take over of Kids
Planet as it has seen some staff leave in recent weeks and it does concern me that other staff will have similar thoughts.
The nursery seemed to work seamlessly before the take over and I know with any change there are adjustments but I just hope the nursery continues to be a success from when it was family owned.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Firstly, the staff deserve a solid five-star rating - from the ladies in the office, to reception, to the heroes that care for kids each day. In 2.5 years, we have been supported by incredible staff, who go out of their way to ensure kids are happy, cared for & supported; our boys have flourished under
their care. The facilities are incredible - gardens are huge, well-kept, and have a great range of things to do. The staff clearly take great pride in keeping the rooms (& building entrances) up to date with family and educational displays.
However, news of the change to Kids Planet was sent by email to staff and parents *at the same time*, (showing no consideration for anyone) promising no changes to the daily running of the nursery, yet there have been huge changes - price increase, meal sizes decreased & higher child to staff ratios. It's heart-breaking to watch such an incredible setting change from being something entirely unique, to a place that is being run purely as a business.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son joined the nursery at 6 months old on a full time basis and since day one he has been cared for in a nurturing and supportive environment. His initial key worker in Acorn Babies was outstanding, she provided incredible care and created a fantastic bond with our son meaning he loved nursery from
day one. The staff spent time creating different daily activities for the children to participate in which our son loved. Since moving to Toddler Toadstools he has continued to take huge leaps and strides in his development with his new key worker who provides endless positive encouragement and support in a fun environment. The nursery facilities are fantastic and visible improvements are made when needed. The food is varied and healthy with the menu changing on a weekly basis. We get daily updates via an app on what our son has eaten and done during the day which is brilliant. Thank you all for providing a safe and nurturing environment for children to grow, learn and thrive.

My son loves coming to Rising Threes and playing with his friends. The ladies are lovely and I have a nice easy relationship which means I feel comfortable discussing anything with any of the team. I find communication within the room is great.

Review from Christina W (Mother of Child) published on 4 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Our child has been at Rope Green since April 2020, and we had a seamless experience until recently. She was happy, well-fed, content, and loved the staff. When it was sold to Kids Planet on October 3, 2024, parents and staff were not informed in advance, it was poorly managed, showing no care for the
staff or children's well-being. Kids Planet are focused on cutting costs and increasing profit.


Staff days off have been changed without consultation. Our child now has her key worker for only 2/3 days she attends, with no contact to parents. The menu and toys were changed to match their 'machine' approach, reducing the amount of food children receive without consulting parents. Children go home hungry despite paying £15 a day for food.


Kids Planet accepts free hours, each 'free' day costs £27 due to mandatory charges. They impose sudden price increases, current pricing is £78 p/d. It's disheartening to see the nursery change while the staff remain positive. I fear they will leave eventually.

My son joined the nursery in November 2024 and the care he has received since has been second to none. He is my first so knowing he is being left in a safe and nurturing environment is extremely reassuring. The staff in the Acorn room are outstanding and have made the transition to nursery so smooth
for both myself and my son. Communication between parents and staff is thorough through both handover and the app. My son's key worker has embraced him like he was her own and the bond they have got is lovely. He is so excited to go to nursery in the morning and the development he has made both physically and socially is fantastic. Thank you so much for providing the best childcare setting for my baby boy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son joined Rope Green in October 2024 and is completely at home already. As he is our first, the entire team has been so reassuring, giving you regular updates on how he is enjoying his day. One member of staff, in particular, in Acorns has embraced our son like her own and all the staff genuinely
care so much for all the children. He has had his challenges from typical sicknesses that they get from joining any nursery, but nothing is too much for the staff to provide the best care for him and thankfully he has soon gotten over the sickly faze. Our son has developed dramatically since he joined, which is down to the team making new, engaging, and fun activities for the children to do every day. He eats so well and there is something healthy and new on the menu every day. The facilities are also so much better than any other nursery we have looked at - we couldn't be happier! Thanks to the entire Rope Green family for making our experience so great and we can't wait to see him grow over the coming years.

Our experience with Kids Planet Rope Green Farm has been outstanding, thanks to the incredible care provided.
Our child's key worker in the baby area, was exceptional. Her nurturing approach and attentive care made settling in so smooth for both our child and us. She built a strong bond, giving us
complete confidence they were in safe hands.
When transitioning to the toddler area staff continued this high standard of care. The key worker, has been amazing, always meeting our child's individual needs with kindness and encouragement. Another member of staff has also been wonderful, providing constant support and creating a fun, engaging environment.
Communication has been fantastic and it's clear the team genuinely cares about each child's development. We've loved seeing our little one grow in confidence and thrive under their care. We're so grateful to the staff and highly recommend Kids Planet Rope Green Farm.

We couldn't be happier with Kids Planet Rope Green Farm Nursery- it's an incredible place where our son has truly thrived since starting in September. From the moment you step through the doors, all the staff are so welcoming and friendly, making drop-offs a breeze. The facilities are absolutely fantastic!
Acorn Babies is set up to support early development, and the progression to the next rooms is so thoughtfully planned. Our son's key worker has been nothing short of amazing. She genuinely cares about his development, always taking on board our updates and tailoring her approach to support him in the best way possible. It's clear how much effort she puts into ensuring he feels happy, loved, and supported. The daily updates are a real highlight for us. Knowing what he's eaten, his sleep times and other details at the end of each day gives us such peace of mind. It's so thorough and thoughtful, and we're so pleased with the level of care and communication. Highly recommend!

Kids Planet Rope Green Day Nursery has been absolutely incredible for our son Quinn. From the very first day, his key worker has gone above and beyond to make him feel safe, happy, and supported. The bond they've built is truly heartwarming, and her dedication to his growth and development is remarkable.
The
communication at the nursery is outstanding-regular updates and the genuine interest they take in understanding our home life make it clear they are fully invested in Quinn's wellbeing. It's so reassuring to know they value his individuality and are focused on his personal development.
The entire team are always warm and welcoming, creating such a positive atmosphere from the moment you walk through the door. We feel completely at ease dropping Quinn off every day, knowing he's in such caring and capable hands.
We couldn't recommend Rope Green Day Nursery enough - it's a wonderful place where children truly thrive!

We couldn't love Rope Green anymore if we tried! Thank you so much to all the incredible staff for playing such a big part in our daughter's development - each week we see the skills she has learned and the confidence she has gained and we are just in awe. There aren't many people I'd be comfortable
leaving my girl with but the Rope Green staff are simply amazing. Thanks for creating such a safe, fun, happy, and sociable environment.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.806)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.806) out of 10 for Kids Planet Rope Green Farm is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.806 for Kids Planet Rope Green Farm is calculated as follows: ( (348 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 396 Ratings = 4.806
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Rope Green Farm is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 148 number of registered child places is 29.6, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
