Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kids Planet have been amazing with our son, we have been really pleased with how they cared for our son through from when he was a little unsettled when he started until now when he is confident being left with his key worker. The updates throughout the day are very thorough and detailed and the range
of activities he takes part in during the day is great.

My son has grown so much in confidence since starting nursery at Kids Planet and even more so since joining the toddler room in September. He is happy to go in on a morning and looks happy upon collection. The girls in the room are fantastic and have worked hard to build safe and caring relationship
with my son. They do a range of engaging activities with him daily which are shared on the app and regularly utilise their outdoor space whatever the weather, which he loves!
Thank you Kids Planet.

Great nursery for my children. Staff are approachable and friendly. We as parents are kept up to date with how the children are getting on throughout the day, and it is easy to speak to a staff member if needed. Would recommend to others considering a nursery.

Kids Planet Halesowen is the best place to recommend for parents who are looking for a nursery where their little ones would be cared for, treated with kindness and feel safe. Nurturing and stimulating environment. Safe outdoor play area where kids can spend most of their time has been made with creativity.
Staff very helpful and respectful, and staff have been qualified and kind-hearted, patient, empathetic and engaging as well. This place welcomes children of all backgrounds, concentrates on social and emotional development, helps children express emotions and build confidence. Headteacher - person with golden heart. Thank you for these 2 amazing years!

My daughter has been a part of the Kids Planet family for 4 and a half years. The care, love and patience each member of the team have shown her has shaped the courageous, inquisitive girl she is.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I couldn't recommend Kids Planet Halesowen enough. My daughter started here just after her 1st birthday almost a year ago and has absolutely loved her time here.
Their facilities, cleanliness and friendly staff surpassed all other nurseries we visited in surrounding areas.
They offer a huge range
of wooden and natural toys. The rooms we visited were absolutely spotless.
Their outdoor facilities were outstanding and exactly what we were looking for.
The staff are an excellent mix of experienced and new, and of all ages; they show our daughter so much love and compassion and they meet all her needs and more.
The food choices that are offer are excellent and I love the regular updates I get to show what she's had for the day - which is loads (from breakfast, snacks, lunch, more snacks and dinner), she's always offered a healthy range with variety.
My daughter absolutely loves it here and has come on so much since starting. Thank you to all the staff at KP.

Kids Planet Halesowen has been amazing. We are unfortunately moving house so have to move nursery and my daughter and myself are devastated. She has been in the toddler room and everyone working here is so fantastic. I feel so comfortable leaving my daughter with them and they are so lovely with her.
I want to make special note to three ladies in particular in the toddler room - my daughter loves these girls and always talks about them at home and is so excited to see them on the way to nursery. They have done so much work with my daughter - for example when she first arrived she refused to sit on any sort of chairs, within a few sessions she was happily sitting at the table on a chair with the other children. I'm also really impressed with the food on offer, my daughter loves her nursery food - cooked onsite and healthy. Let's hope the new nursery lives up to the high expectations I now have after seeing my daughter at Kids Planet.

Thank you for such a heartfelt message-it's been a joy to be part of your daughter's journey! We'll miss you both and wish you all the best in your new home and nursery adventure.

I can't speak highly enough of all the team here. My little boy has learnt so much and has had the best time. The staff here are so loving and nurturing and have surpassed both myself and my partners expectations. Five particular members of staff are absolute diamonds. Two other members of staff are
so supportive and understanding, and I speak for my son when I say, we're so upset to be leaving.

Both of our children have thrived here and we wouldn't have chosen anywhere else to send our second. The staff are always friendly, supportive and build strong attachments with the children. They challenge all children and put a great deal of though and preparation into supporting those with SEND.

Our son started nursery at Kids Planet Halesown when he was around a year old in 2022. Since day one, everyone at this place has always been friendly and supportive. Now he's nearly four years old and ready to start his journey at his primary school. I would just like to take this opportunity to say
a massive thank you do all the support and help provided to our son throughout the years. All the very best!

All staff are very polite, professional and friendly, always happy to help if you have any queries or concerns. My son settled here very quickly, no problems, he especially loves the outdoor area and to play outside. I feel it has prepared him well for when he starts reception in September. Many thanks.

So sad that my last baby has now left this wonderful nursery - "end of an ear"!
All the staff always go above and beyond to help all the children grow. So much care and support goes into their development. Always a massive welcoming smile on drop off/pick up. We will all miss the staff and the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.913)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.913) out of 10 for Kids Planet Halesowen 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.913 for Kids Planet Halesowen is calculated as follows: ( (304 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 333 Ratings = 4.913
  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 Halesowen is based on 28 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 28 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.
