Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended this nursey since January 2022 and has loved every minute he has been going. The staff are great, caring and conscientious and it is well managed. The facilities are good and the kids do a wide range of activities. I would 100% recommend to other parents.

Review from H W (Mother of Child) published on 9 November 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has attended The Green Nursery since she was 11 months old, therefore experiencing each room/age group within the nursery. Our entire experience of The Green Nursery has been nothing but positive from day 1. The staff are warm and welcoming and offer reassurance on the rare occasion our
daughter is upset at drop off.
Despite working with groups of young children all day, which we're sure can be tiring, staff remain professional and show enthusiasm when giving feedback at pick up.
Our circumstances recently changed, which meant the location is now out of the way from our home and places of work. Although it would have been easier for us to move to a closer nursery, the thought of leaving The Green Nursery and finding another nursery that met their standards concerned us, so we continue to send our daughter to The Green Nursery where she is thoroughly enjoying and thriving in her final group.

Changing to this nursery during COVID19 - really pleased with the communication with management prior to starting, very accommodating and knew this is where I wanted my child to attend without just viewing. Really great staff, facilities and learning journey.

My son has been in the care of this nursery since he was 6 months old. The staff and environment made this decision much easier. Knowing that my son was safe, cared for, valued and developing through the activities in place means that I will always remember his time here fondly. It has given him the
best possible start in his formative years. I will be eternally grateful to everyone who has been a part of his journey.

My son started in September 2019 and loved every minute at The Green. He had wonderful support, help and care in every room. I cannot fault a single thing and am really sad that he is now moving on to primary school.
I look forward to my youngest being old enough to attend!

My son has had a fantastic time at The Green nursery, I cannot praise the staff enough for everything they have done. They started the referral off for a SEN assessment and have offered so much support to my son and us as a family. The staff of The Green are amazing.
Special thanks go to the senco
staff in particular.

Our daughter has been at The Green for nearly 4 years and absolutely loved it, which has made the experience just as enjoyable for us as parents. The teachers are all lovely and we couldn't have picked a better nursery for her.

The staff are so kind, helpful and welcoming. Communication is amazing and you can see they really care about the children and making them comfortable, the best way that suits them. I am going to miss bringing my daughter here. I am forever grateful for their support and for playing such an important
role in my daughter's development. I can't thank them enough for how amazing they have been the past few years.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my son and daughter have been at The Green nursery and we are so grateful for the love, care and patience the staff have shown to both of them. My son is SEN and both the tweenie and pre-school team did everything they could to support him and help him transition to his primary school. Moreover,
our daughter has always struggled with settling and following instructions, but the team have helped her so much to become school ready.
The staff have been wonderful - two members of staff, in particular, have always been so helpful and kind. Both the tweenie room and pre-school room staff have been fantastic.

As a family, we've had such a fantastic experience with Kids Planet (The Green Nursery). Leaving your child - in our case at 7 months old - is such a huge thing and the staff have made it much easier. That was three years ago and he's had such a well-rounded experience here. I'd highly recommend.

We have always found all the staff at The Green nursery to be so caring, approachable and knowledgeable. My daughter has had an amazing three years and has always spoken about all the fun activities she has taken part in. We would be sad to say goodbye, but luckily, we don't have to as my son will be
starting next year!

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.
