The nursery have been very accommodating with my numerous emails and phone calls when I'm having a panic about my children starting and how they will settle. They have accommodated additional settling in sessions and at short notice! They have also provided us with a home kit with photos of the nursery
and staff, and books, so my children can feel familiar with the setting. I've looked at numerous nurseries and this is the only one I've felt comfortable sending my children too.

My son has been attending Kids Planet Nursery since he was 13 months old. First in Babies and currently in Tots. The staff are so kind and caring and that makes leaving him each day much easier.
He absolutely loves the outdoor setting and having so much access to it is perfect for him as he's a real
outdoor boy.
He has food allergies and I love that he gets to enjoy the same food as the other children, just with alternative ingredients. The food is incredible and he eats like a horse when at nursery. It's definitely the best nursery to help him grow and flourish.

I absolutely love the nursery my child has been going since he was 4 months old now 16 months old and thriving. I wish I was keeping him there but having to move him in September due to opening times and it's our of the way. Otherwise I love the forest school element and that it is a smaller setting.
It means all the staff know my little boy and myself

My son started his settling in sessions at 7 months old, I was worried because he was so young how he would get on, but he absolutely loved it. The build up of sessions was enough for me to feel confident leaving him when he came to start full days. The staff working with my son are all so friendly
and answer any questions I may have and make me feel at ease. It's also nice how staff who work in different rooms pay attention to him. I am so happy I chose kids planet.

Both of my young son's have attended Kids Planet Burbage since April and they have both settled in really well. My partner and I have been very impressed with the level of feedback on an evening from both the baby and toddler rooms. We love that both of our boys have supervised access to the same garden
so that they can see each other whilst also carrying out their separate class activities with their friends. The staff are very caring and enthusiastic and carry out regular observations and assessments on our children's progress. The nursery also provides formula, milk, nappies and 3 freshly cooked meals a day which always include healthy snacks. I definitely would recommend Kids Planet Burbage for any other parents looking for a great nursery!

Kids Planet Burbage provides great care for my child. He always has such a good day when he is there, and comes away in a great mood. They are always ready to comfort my child in the morning as he does struggle with drop offs sometimes. Love how they get outside in all weathers. Great nursery

I have nothing but positive things to say about Kids Planet Burbage. The staff from the baby room, tots, toddlers and pre-school are fantastic. They always greet us with a smile on their face and are always happy to answer and support with any questions. The managers are always so helpful and approachable
and communicate upcoming events with regular monthly newsletters. The children are provided with healthy home cooked meals and my son is always happy playing when I pick him up at the end of the day!

Overall positive experience. Transparency on pricing continues to be a challenge and no clear justification for multiple price increases in quick succession. Preschoolers suffer from over subscription now in the younger years and have been pushed into the oldest and most tired resources. Updates on
the app are sporadic, very few pictures compared to previously, and these are often weeks after the event so lose the opportunity to have a conversation with child about it

We have been using Kids Planet for both of our daughters since they were 1. The staff look after them as if they were their own and I really couldn't ask for more. I strongly believe it is the warm, caring staff that make this particular nursery so brilliant.

Kids Planet Burbage is a wonderful nursery. The staff are encouraging, enthusiastic and really care about the children. We get detailed handovers, updates about what activities the children are doing and regular learning stories via the app.
The building is a great set-up with good outdoor space.
The food menu is varied and I always smile when I see that the children have had second helpings.
Wouldn't go anywhere else.

The staff are all very friendly and caring, all staff know the child by name and greet as they come into the nursery.
The child has a fantastic time and seems very well looked after. Developing in leaps and bounds with the help of the nursery staff.
Feel like my child is known very well by staff members
and they meet their physical and emotional needs very well.
Staff have helped my child transition through having a new sibling, as well as helping me feel supported with the change too.
Have absolutely no worries sending my child to nursery for the day.

The staff at Kids Planet are brilliant. They should be paid more for the quality of care they are able to give to the children. I'm glad that the staffing levels have finally increased for them to be able to do their job to the level and standard they aim for. This increase in staffing levels has been
reflected in the happiness that my child now goes into nursery, which I do not feel is a coincidence. Thanks again!

My child has attended the nursery for two years he has SEN requirements which have not only been taken on board but have been embraced by the team at Kids Planet.
Since attending nursery my child has overcome some challenges, I am a firm believer that the encouragement and social engagement he receives
are fundamental to his development. Not only do they support my child but I too feel supported. They have engaged with external specialists, attended physio sessions and worked fantastically with our Portage worker. Our child comes home tired, messy and happy! Thank you!

My husband and I are very pleased with the nursery.
All of the staff we have dealt with are friendly, helpful and excellent with the children. The range of activities and experiences on offer are great and really help the children to thrive and grow. We don’t worry at all about our son when he is at
nursery, we know he is safe and happy and that is a credit to the staff who work there.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.780)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.780) out of 10 for Kids Planet Burbage 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.780 for Kids Planet Burbage is calculated as follows: ( (174 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.78
  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 Burbage is based on 18 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6, which has been reached with 18 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.
