Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was so anxious about leaving my son at nursery, I felt like we had tears every day and I really struggled but the staff were amazing. The staff constantly reassure you and I've seen them give all the babies and children massive hugs after handover and it's so lovely.
My son loves the staff, he talks
about them often when we aren't at nursery.
The menu puts me to shame. The food is always homemade and good quality, a good variety and they always have options if the child really doesn't like something.
My son is always running around outside, balancing on things, playing on bikes or throwing balls.
He also sleeps really well at nursery. I thought he'd really struggled to settle with so many other children but it's amazing how resilient kids are and he just settles into a lovely routine.
I have recommended this nursery to so many friends and colleagues.
The only reason why I marked management down is because they have swapped managers a lot since we joined.

My children absolutely LOVE attending nursery, both have been attending since 9months old and I have never had any real problems regarding their care. All the staff know both children's names whether they are stationed in that particular room or not, the staff are lovely, warm and very welcoming! The
nursery itself is always clean and tidy, the children are outside at least once a day if not more and always come home with a smile and a full belly.
The staff definitely make the nursery what it is and I am so grateful for the time, effort and support they put in day in day out!

We are really happy with how our little girl has settled into nursery, she has been going since she was 16 months old. She gets so excited to see her key workers and knows them by name. She is always happy on pick up and tells us all about her day. Her confidence has come on leaps and her speech gets
better every week, we really couldnt be happier.
They have been great since switching onto a milk free diet.
Updates are on time and we love seeing pictures of what she gets up to.

My son has been attending Sheepbridge since he was 9 months old and I've been really happy with his experience there so far. The staff are all really lovely and friendly and create a warm atmosphere within the nursery. My son absolutely adores his key workers and he seems really comfortable with them.
They have been fantastic with things like potty training and his speech development; I feel like they genuinely want him to succeed and have supported him to make progress at his own pace. He eats a range of interesting, healthy meals all made by the talented cook, he isn't the fussiest eater but still the fact he eats so much of what he's offered is really impressive! He loves being outside and I feel like they offer plenty of opportunities for this; there is even a forest school area where he can bug hunt! When he was a baby they would use the sensory room, this well equipped and enjoyed! Overall I would 100% recommend this nursery :)

Kids Planet Sheepbridge is very good, my son loves the nursery & the staff.
He always has a smile on his face when I pick him up & he runs in happily.
He eats well & comes along in leaps and bounds.

My child has been at Kids Planet Sheepbridge since he was 4 months old and he is now 3. He has progressed from the Baby room through to Toddlers and now Preschool. My child has made excellent progress, his speech is superb and the nursery staff have supported and encouraged with his physical development
from crawling and taking his first steps to now helping his fine motor skills. I would strongly recommend Kids Planet Sheepbridge.

Our son has been at Kids Planet Sheepbridge since the age of 10 months in June 2024.
The staff were really helpful and friendly in his settling-in sessions and the communication via the app is great, updated in real-time and our son is always happy when we come to collect.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both our boys have attended this nursery - One of them has left to start school, and we've seen such positive growth in him, all thanks to the nurturing and supportive environment provided here. The staff have always been kind, attentive, and truly invested in the well-being and development of the children.
The
transition to school has been seamless for our eldest, and we believe much of that confidence comes from the solid foundation he received at the nursery.
Our youngest is still there, and every time he comes home with a huge smile on his face. The nursery has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that really puts our minds at ease, knowing he's in great hands. They are very careful with the aspect of children with allergies also which has made us feel more at ease leaving our youngest.
We couldn't have asked for a better start for both of our boys!

It took us a long time to choose the right nursery and I had a lot of anxiety around leaving my little girl. However, as soon as we walked in to Kids Planet, we liked the feel of the place. The setting is well resourced, welcoming and the staff are all so friendly. Our daughter has taken a while to
settle and the staff have been so patient and caring. She needs a lot of reassurance and they always give her cuddles to comfort her, especially at drop off time. The app is updated throughout the day so we know what she's been up to, what she's eaten, and how long she's slept. She has forged a strong bond with her key worker, who clearly knows our daughter well.


All in all, we couldn't be happier and are so pleased we chose Kids Planet.

Cannot speak highly enough of Sheepbridge Kids Planet!
I was really anxious about my 9-month-old starting nursery but the staff put me at ease straight away with two transition visits. My little one loves going to nursery and I feel so comfortable leaving her with the lovely staff. Communication is
fab and she is progressing brilliantly. Wouldn't send my children anywhere else.
Thank you so much from a very grateful mum!

Really happy with our experience. It is the best feeling knowing that you can drop your child off and know that they are safe and being looked after by the amazing ladies at nursery. Our little boy loves the ladies and is building strong bonds and it makes us really happy. Feedback is received on collection
to give that reassurance. Couldn't be happier with Kids Planet Sheepbridge.

I feel that since my child has started nursery she has developed a very close bond with the staff and feels comfortable with them, she talks very highly of one staff member in particular and shares with me the things have has done throughout the day. This makes me feel comfortable knowing that my child
is getting the same kind of emotional support that she does at home and feels settled.
My child's's development has improved drastically since starting nursery and she really enjoys it. She has come out of her shell and feels confident, she also loves playing with her friends and has started to engage in different activities since being at the nursery.

I can't thank this nursery enough for everything they do for my little boy. As a parent of an autistic toddler, I had alot of anxieties about how my son would cope at nursery and how he would be treated. The staff at Sheepbridge Kids Planet are just amazing with him and he has become really attached
to his lovely key worker. She goes above and beyond for him and has managed to achieve things that even I couldn't do with his eating. As well as being a picky eater he is also gluten free and dairy free which the nursery accomodates and the chef there is so caring and considerate. She really goes out of her way to cater to his tastes and sensory needs. They really allow him to be himself and celebrate his uniqueness. He absolutely loves the facilities as the nursery is nice and big with large outdoor areas so he can run around and climb all day. His two favourite things! The manager is doing a fab job as the new manager and the nursery is going from strength to strength.

We personally love the nursery and ethos. The open layout means self-exploration is encouraged and the outdoor space is incredible. The staff are open and friendly. They actively encourage individual interests for every child. Every day a new activity is set up for their exploration. Some children prefer
a more homey environment but for our little one who is fiercely independent and loves as much space as possible to run around it's perfect.

There always there to help and nothing is a silly question. I would recommend this nursery cause it is well-managed nursery

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.717)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.717) out of 10 for Kids Planet Sheepbridge 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 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 4.837 for Kids Planet Sheepbridge is calculated as follows: ( (194 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.837
  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 4.88 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Sheepbridge is based on 19 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 108 number of registered child places is 21.6. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.6 = 0.88
  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.
