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 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!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.901)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.901) 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.901 for Kids Planet George Perkins is calculated as follows: ( (229 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.901
  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 21 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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6, which has been reached with 21 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.
