Such a great nursery, you can see how much they care and take time to get to know each child and their needs. My little one has really thrived since attending and come out of their shell. Nothing is too much for Ann and the team

I couldn't have asked for a better establishment for my daughter to attend. Kids Planet have looked after Orlagh like she was their own, helping and guiding her through her journey since she started attending at 9months - She is now 2. Not only have they helped Orlagh, they have helped me many times
( as a single mum I've struggled) they have been the shoulder to cry on many times.
Thank you so much for your love and support

Amazing Nursery, I have two children that have attended this nursery. My son attended for 3 years, the nursery helped him progress in so many way before going off the school, also my daughter has now been going for the last year, she absolutely loves nursery and is so excited once she knows she is going.
The staff have cared for my children with kindness, care and compassion, and have supported them in so many ways, thank you x

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started nursery in April and we have had no concerns. Naturally, he was a bit unsettled but with lots of reassurance and patience from his keyworker and room staff he soon settled and gets excited when we pull up to nursery. He has such a variety of diet at nursery, and as an anxious parent who
was weaning when he started nursery we were given such good advice from the staff who supported us through the journey and gave us such confidence as parents. My son's development is thriving due to the emotional and social development teaching this nursery has provided him. Were always given a thorough update about his day and the staff are friendly and welcoming. I love the app. I love seeing what my son has eaten and been up to I particularly love seeing the photos of him enjoying the activities it gets me through my work day! Effective communication from the nursery/management always, they go above and beyond I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

My daughter has been attending Henley 1 for almost 12 months now and I cannot tell you how much gratitude I have for all the staff who work here. My daughter has come on so much and absolutely loves attending to play with her friends and her amazing key person Vinushia!
Vinushia shows her so much

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending this nursery for the past two years, and I couldn't be happier with the care and support he has received. From day one, the staff have been incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, making him feel safe and welcomed every single day. They genuinely care about the children's
wellbeing and development, and it shows in everything they do.


There is always a wide variety of engaging and creative activities planned, which keep the children excited to learn and explore. I've seen my son grow in confidence, make wonderful friends, and develop so many new skills thanks to the thoughtful learning environment they provide.


Communication with parents is excellent - I'm always kept informed about his progress and the day-to-day happenings at the nursery. The atmosphere is warm, inclusive, and full of positivity, and I can see how much effort the whole team puts in to create such a nurturing place for the children.


Couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Kids Planet Henley 1 & 2. This is now our second child attending, and once again, the care, attention, and nurturing environment provided have exceeded our expectations. The staff are incredibly dedicated and genuinely care about each child's individual
development and well-being.It's been wonderful to see our second child settling in so quickly and thriving, just like our first did. The team has created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes every drop-off feel reassuring. The daily updates, creative activities, and focus on learning through play have really helped our child grow in confidence and independence.Knowing our child is in such safe and loving hands gives us complete peace of mind. We're so grateful to the amazing team and couldn't recommend them highly enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent! I moved my child to Kids planet from a previous nursery, and the difference in service has been so fantastic. My little girl started at 15 months old and is now 3 years old. In each class she has progressed from and to, the staff have been excellent and my child has shown amazing development.
Food, feedback everyday at pick up, attention to detail, focus, neatness etc. I highly and strongly recommend this nursery. The management is top notch, and involved and I can see a big difference compared to my experience elsewhere where the management felt distant. Nursery is clean, staff are kind to parents, children are encouraged and supported to blossom in their personality and well taught to reflect good behaviours. Sad to leave but I can't but say thank you to all the intentionality and care shown to my child.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.898)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.898) out of 10 for Kids Planet Henley 1 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 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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 4.898 for Kids Planet Henley 1 is calculated as follows: ( (413 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 452 Ratings = 4.898
  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 Henley 1 is based on 38 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 38 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.
