We absolutely adore Kids Planet St Andrews Park and it has been such a huge and important part of our family life. There are so many (in fact there are only) positive things to say which in itself something to celebrate. We have always felt like every single staff member has had our child's interest
at heart and it feels like we are all part of the same team. The staff genuinely love their jobs and their enthusiasm and love for the kids is palpable.


As first time parents we could not have been looked after any better and the level of trust and appreciation we have felt since day one has been incredibly strong. the team should be so proud of what they do and the nurturing and fun nursery they have built.


We feel lucky to now be sending our second child to Kids Planet.

Our experience of Kids Planet St Andrews is incredibly positive. The team are kind, enthusiastic and have created such a fun and friendly atmosphere for the kids. Our daughter is very happy here, each of the team have taken time and care to get to know her individual personality and encourage her confidence.
Whether it's on one of their regular trips out or exploring new experiences at nursery, it always sounds like they are always having a great time in a safe and supportive way. We highly recommend!

We are very lucky to have Kids Planet St Andrew's so close to where we live. The nursery manager does an incredible job keeping on top of all the admin particularly this year while things have been very challenging with the nursery moving into Kids Planet ownership. The staff in preschool and the baby
room are all lovely and our kids are always happy when they arrive and having fun when we pick them up. Only slight issue is the Kids Planet central office have made a few errors with invoices but we get them sorted quite quickly and hopefully will improve as systems bed in. But still giving five stars as everyone working in Kids Planet St Andrew's is great.

Both of my children have attended Kids Planet St Andrew's, and from the start, we have felt the warm and caring atmosphere. The staff are great. They are enthusiastic and kind, and their positive interactions with the children are clear. Both of my children enjoyed going every day, and despite their
different personalities, the staff have brought out the best in each of them. The facilities are clean and safe, and the activities offered are varied and engaging. The outdoor play area provides plenty of space for the kids to play. The regular walks to the local park, train station, and shops add a nice touch, allowing the children to explore and learn about their community. We receive regular updates and photos, which keeps us connected with what's happening at the nursery. I always highly recommend Kids Planet St Andrew's to any parent looking for a supportive and fun environment for their child.

We are so happy with Kids Planet for our daughter. The staff are all wonderful, and develop such good relationships with the children. We love the effort made to go outside and on trips (whatever the weather!). The recent facelift and new toys seem to be really good. Our daughter has been happy and
settled there since she first started which is all we could ask for! Thank you.

Cannot say enough good things about the staff at this nursery. My son has been with them since he was 8 months old and is now almost 3. The staff have without exception been incredible throughout his time there and he absolutely loves them. The consistency in the staff and lack of turnover is testament
to the great work done by the nursery manager. Everyone truly cares for the children and this is reflected in the relationships that are built. Thanks to all the team from the baby room up to pre-school, you're doing such a good job and we feel lucky our son has been cared for by you.

A big thank you to the wonderfully dedicated and talented team at Kids Planet. They made the transition to nursery so comfortable, and have exceeded our expectations. Our daughter looks forward to going with excitement which is such a weight off your mind, particularly as a new parent. They are always
occupied with a range of fantastic activities and enjoy meal times. It is lovely to see new things they have learnt at nursery when they come home. The feedback is also excellent, as we know how challenging children can be at times. We have full trust in the team and would highly recommend it.

Our son has been at Kids Planet St Andrews for nearly two years and he absolutely loves it. The girls have been so lovely with him, teaching him new skills and introducing him to new hobbies etc. We couldn't be more thankful. Our son has made lots of buddies and he's never once come home without a smile
on his face. Can't recommend highly enough.

We have both of our children at Kids Planet St Andrews. We have been so happy with all aspects of the nursery over the last 3 years. The staff and manager are amazing and it feels like a family. Most of all our kids love it and we have always felt assured they were in the best of hands. Would highly

We are very happy with the care that is being provided by Zebedees Day Nursery.
My son previously attended a different setting and didn't settle so we were worried about moving him but he settled immediately at Zebedees and was made to feel completely comfortable.
He enjoys the enrichment activities,
including crafts and baking and the constant access to outdoor space, whatever the weather.
I'm so happy we chose Zebedees as our main source of childcare.

My son has been going to Zebedees day nursery for nearly 2 years now and I couldn’t have picked a better nursery for him! Everyone working there is so helpful and friendly, they have put so much love and care into looking after all the children. There are so many activities the children take part in
and also there is a lot of opportunities for the parents to join in. I can’t thank them enough for helping my son develop. He was a shy little boy when he started at Zebedees and now he’s blossomed into such a bubbly character. Zebedees isn’t just a nursery, it’s like a big family.

Our son has been at Zebedees for nearly three years and I cannot say enough good things. Number two will be starting here in the summer and I know he will be equally as nourished. If you're looking for crisp, white paintwork and regimental order - look elsewhere. If you want your children to be safe,
inspired, truly cared for and to laugh until their belly hurts - this is the right choice. I could not have dreamed of a better starting block for my children.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.893)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.893) out of 10 for Kids Planet St Andrew's Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.893 for Kids Planet St Andrew's Park is calculated as follows: ( (150 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.893

  • b) 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 St Andrew's Park is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
