Review from S M (Mother of Child) published on 31 July 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have always been very happy with the standard of the nursery. I moved my little boy from a different nursery, and as soon as he started, he settled very quickly with the help of the staff. He has always been so happy going to nursery, loves all of the staff and is very sad to be leaving for preschool.
The care the staff provide is amazing; it’s always a worry trusting someone to look after your child/children, but I have never had to worry about anything at Kids Planet Henley 1.
The way they teach is fun and exciting, and since my little boy has been at the nursery, he has come on so well.

Review from Leonee B (Mother of Child) published on 31 July 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has ASD and has been attending this nursery for a few years, they have supported us from my initial concerns right through to diagnosis. Their commitment to supporting children with additional needs and their families is remarkable. From the management to the support staff everyone has a strong
knowledge of the requirements needed to help a neuro-diverse child feel comfortable and settled within the setting and when dealing with change. Communication between nursery and home is amazing, the food provided for the children is healthy and nutritional and they are mindful of sensory issues during mealtimes etc. My child was considerably below his target age, struggling to connect and communicate and even with ASD is now at target for the learning requirements for his age, plays alongside other children and his communication skills have come on leaps and bounds. Their cooperation with SENCO and portage is fantastic. I highly recommend this nursery to any parents!

Always had an excellent experience with the nursery. My child always comes home happy, is well cared for and has shown so much progression. The staff are understanding and very in tune with the children. I have never had a negative experience during the three years my child has attended. In fact, I
admire the work that they do.

I am really pleased with the nursery. My daughter loves it there, they look after her and make sure she is safe and happy. They do different activities every day, spent time outside and go for walks too.

Review from Deanna G (Mother of Child) published on 17 July 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I only have positive things to say about this nursery - from settling in, to support with potty training, to the way staff interact with my daughter, my experiences have been great so far. My daughter is in the toddler room and she talks lots about her key workers and other children in the room; I feel
she's forming lots of positive relationships in her time at nursery. They have lots of interesting activities, lots of craft and baking, they've taken her to the park and lots of outside time.
I would like more regular communication about what my daughter has been doing through her day - the app is great but sometimes these updates are delayed. My daughter is also a bit of a fussy eater and, although she is getting better, I feel some of the foods they offer a bit ambitious (curry, pie, chilli). They've been very accommodating though.
Overall, wonderful nursery and I would recommend.

The staff have been great with my child since we have joined the nursery. Our child enjoys attending each day and is excited. The staff are really good and helpful with development, introducing new food and games and the nursery wouldn't be what it was without them and they play a big part in how great
the nursery is.

Avoid this nursery at all costs! I have reported this nursery to Ofsted due to their poor practices. My daughter would continuously come home with bumps and bruises. One day she came home with a black eye and a bloody nose. After weeks of asking to see the CCTV footage, we were pre-warned about what
we were going to see. In the baby room, there were two members of staff and only my child in the room. You would think at that ratio my child would be at her safest. My daughter was standing holding against a cabinet as she can't hold herself up on her own. She fell face forward and the key worker standing right next to her looked at her on the floor and continued doing what she was doing. The other key worker who was sitting on the other side of the room picked her up and comforted her for no longer than a few minutes. She did not get first aid or wasn't checked over. An hour later my daughter got a nosebleed which she has never had one before.

We take all feedback very seriously and this has been discussed at length with Ofsted, to which they found no concerns. We wish you and your child well in the future.

I can't remember when my son started at the nursery, but since he has been there I have noticed a big difference in my son, his speech is really good, and he knows nearly all his colours and numbers. Would like to thank the staff for their hard work and caring attitude toward my son. I would definitely
recommend this nursery to anyone

Review from Arti B (Mother of Child) published on 5 September 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Absolutely happy with the staff no issues at all, main and only problem is the food you serve to the kids.


The food my child has been eating since being taken over has been absolutely appalling, how you expect a child to eat stews, soups etc is ridiculous. The chef before was far better food, was

different every day and I had no complaints, my child ate everything. Now said child is coming home hungry, your main meals need to be seriously addressed. Honestly, don't feel like payment for food should be made when they're hardly eating it. Said child has been eating crackers, biscuits, etc hardly healthy in my opinion. No 2-year-old eats soups or stews. Sort it out.

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.
