Kids Planet George Perkins is an Ofsted "Good" rated nursery (May 2023) situated just 2.5 miles from the City Centre. The emphasis is on ensuring their practice is the best it can be and in 2017 received Level 3 accreditation as a “Healthy Setting” which led on to being shortlisted for the 2017 Nursery World Awards in the Health and Wellbeing category, recognising their “Building Healthy Lives” initiative.

The nursery aims to be the children’s second home and they have embraced the cosy atmosphere of being based in a house whilst being versatile in the use of space, keeping separate rooms for small groups of children when needed and then opening up to provide a free-flow environment to maximise access to a wide range of facilities and opportunities for them to develop. The nursery is divided into three units, the Under 2s (Babies and Tots), Toddlers and Preschool.

Parents are recognised as their children’s first educators and communication between home and nursery is encouraged in a variety of ways. In addition to the informal discussions held regularly with parents regarding day to day developments, biannually Parents’ Evenings are held, providing reports detailing children’s progress and which also offer workshops on aspects of child development and parenting.

Regular newsletters are sent out to keep parents informed and there are several opportunities to go into the nursery to join in with activities with their child; there are regular “Stay and Play” sessions as well as opportunities like pancake making on Pancake Day, afternoon tea on Mothers Day and many more festivities.

Review from Kate O (Mother of Child) published on 4 December 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I’m really impressed with every aspect of George Perkins. I, like many other parents, was very apprehensive about my daughter starting nursery but the staff were amazing with both of us!
She is so happy there, always excited to go and has fantastic binds with all the staff. They spend so much time
outside which is amazing! I also love how the children, and their interests, really guide which activities they do and learning is integrated.
The staff are all lovely and really passionate about expanding their knowledge regarding how children learn and develop. This is fed back to us through parents evening which I find really interesting.
Reply from Sarah Presswood at Kids Planet George PerkinsThank you for your positive review. We never underestimate how hard it is for parents to leave their precious child at nursery for the first time so I'm glad you felt we managed the process well.

Review from Ildem A (Mother of Child) published on 26 October 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter started nursery for the first time at George Perkins nursery. It was a fantastic experience. We have a sensitive little one who is highly attached to her parents. The staff were very understanding and caring towards her. In a matter of months, she went from "crying" to "can't wait to get
to nursery". She loves it there.
Reply from Sarah Presswood at Kids Planet George PerkinsThanks so much. We in turn have been so impressed with how well she settled; not letting the fact that she had no English hold her back from enjoying nursery life.

Review from Isha K (Mother of Child) published on 10 October 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are very pleased with this nursery, its policies, its staff and overall attitude.
When my daughter used to attend this nursery she received a lot of support. It does not matter whether your concern is small or big, directly related to your child or just a general enquiry, whether your child is
in full-time care or only uses funded hours - the staff will do their absolute best to help and accommodate your needs.


In my daughter's case, they really put effort into helping her to come out of her shell (she was a very shy child) and to start eating a variety of foods (she was a very fussy eater). Now my son is attending George Perkins and he is extremely happy there.


They focus a lot on healthy life choices, such as food and exercises, nurturing parent-child relationships and developing practical life skills through various real-life experiences. Their manager is a very hands-on person, who takes the time to get to know all their children. She has created an outstanding team!

Reply from Sarah Presswood at Kids Planet George PerkinsThank you for your review. We are thrilled that you have been so pleased with the care and experiences that your children have had at our nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.909)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.909) out of 10 for Kids Planet George Perkins is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.909 for Kids Planet George Perkins is calculated as follows: ( (252 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.909
  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 George Perkins is based on 23 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6, which has been reached with 23 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.
