Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Brampton Park Kids Planet is simply amazing. The staff are fantastic, providing updates throughout the day, and sending our son home happy, well fed, and eager for more every single day.


The facilities are brilliant, not only the toys and activities inside the nursery etc. but the facilities of the

park area too. Having a museum, sculpted gardens, an aviary, a park and landscaped grounds, as well as staff keen to take them out most days, sets the place apart from smaller and more restricted nurseries.


We're so lucky to have Brampton Park on our doorstep.

My son has been attending Kids Planet Brampton Park since he was 16 months old and I cannot rate the nursery highly enough. All the staff genuinely care about my son and have brought him on leaps and bounds developmentally. He is now a super confident, kind, caring and very chatty boy who is so ready
to start school in September. This nursery has been almost 4 years of my sons life and I couldn't have wished for a better beginning to his education and a safer more caring place for him to have been while I am at work. Thank you to all staff at the nursery for everything you do day in and day out. I know my boy will miss you all when he leaves in just 2 weeks time.

We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our child receives at this nursery. From the very first day, the staff made us feel welcome and reassured. They are kind, nurturing, and genuinely invested in the children's well-being and development. We have sent all 3 of our children here now and
also made recommendations to friends and family.


Our child has grown in confidence, made lovely friendships, and is always excited to go in the morning. The activities are varied and well thought out-plenty of outdoor play, creative arts, sensory learning, and story time. It's clear the team puts a lot of thought into creating a safe, stimulating, and happy environment.


Communication with parents is also excellent. We're kept up to date with daily reports, photos, and regular updates on progress, which really helps us feel connected to what's going on during the day.


It's such a comfort to know our child is in such good hands. Highly recommend!

My child started nursery in April 2025. The nursery has been absolutely wonderful and helped him settle in.


They have accommodated perfectly and provided him with all the support he requires. Regular updates are provided and images and if we have any questions they always respond back as quickly

as possible.

Staff go above and beyond to ensure child's happiness and safety.
An incident occurred with my son (unrelated to his day at nursery, it happened after hours and not on the premises, he was fully in my care at this point) however the staff took the time out of their day to help me.
Highly recommended!
Great communication throughout the day on meals/naps and activities- this always reassures me and brings a smile to my face on my days of work.

Review from Ben R (Father of Child) published on 2 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at Kids Planet for a few months now and seems to be really enjoying her time there. She ignores us when we go to collect her in favour of spending more time there with the nursery team in Tots1.


She's a picky eater but they manage her very well and persist in trying to introduce

her to new foods even if she's unwilling to partake but perhaps one day she'll find something she enjoys!


The activities captivate her and she just has the best time while there, enjoying the varied activities and games (fun and educational) that they introduce her to.


Overall we're very happy and hope to increase her time there later this year when our second child is born.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 6 months in 2022 and we have only had brilliant experiences. The nursery utilises all of the opportunities around them and get involved with the local community. My daughter has come on so much with so much support in all areas of her development.
The nursery really does feel like a big family and my daughter leaves with so much to tell me about the activities and fun things she has done each day. I love that parents are invited to so many events and all occasions are celebrated. I honestly couldn't ask for a better nursery.

We couldn't be happier with the nursery, our son loves it and looks forward to going in. It's been amazing to see how much his confidence has grown since joining, especially in the toddler room.


The staff working in his room are exceptional. They're warm, attentive and genuinely invested in his

development. Their encouragement and care have brought out the best in him. It's a place where he feels safe, happy and inspired to express himself and learn and as parents, that peace of mind is priceless.

Our little girl has been attending from 7 months old and has been full time since she was 1. She's almost 3 and loves it. Shes doing brilliant in all areas and the nursery are supporting with potty training. She loves the staff and children and loves to tell us about everything they do. The app is a
great window in to her day that is updated with meals, toilet info and pictures/stories and events as and when. Thank you

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with our experience at Kids Planet Brampton. From the very beginning, the staff have been so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely caring. Our son settled in quickly and absolutely loves going each day, It is a joy to see how excited he is to walk through the door every morning.
In his time at the nursery, we've seen such amazing development in both his learning and confidence. His speech, social skills, and independence have come on in leaps and bounds. It's clear that the environment is not only nurturing but also rich with learning opportunities tailored to each child's needs and personality.
The staff are absolutely brilliant, so personable, kind, and clearly passionate about what they do. They take the time to get to know each child as an individual and build strong, trusting relationships. As a parent, it's incredibly reassuring to know your child is surrounded by such warmth.

My daughter has been with Kids Planet since she was 10months (3.5years now) and we think the nursery teachers and management within that Brampton Park are excellent. Caring, warm, and friendly and now she is at preschool stage where she is learning so much and not just reading and writing but everyday
doings.

I've had 2 daughters (close in age) attend the nursery from Feb 2021 with my eldest & my youngest still being there, graduating next month. The nursery manager is the heart of the nursery & has always made it stand out, from the moment we met her on a visit prior to signing up, to seeing her day to
day to say hi and right up until the end of our journey. The staff recruited are amazing and are clearly carefully selected to fit in with the amazing culture the manager has created. The nursery practitioners are so personable, take real care and attention to each child and genuinely enjoy watching them develop; you can tell it's more than just a job to many. Shame I can't mention names as I would have a handful to mention :-) I took my eldest out of her original nursery after a few weeks as we didn't feel confident with their care. Within a day of attending kids planet the Brampton my eldest was so settled (she never was at her old nursery), the staff were so good at understanding her.

As my maternity leave ended I was so anxious and to go back to work and send my little girl to nursery!
We went to have a walk around and Kids Planet Brampton park and even just after the walk around we knew this was the place for her!
The atmosphere and feel of the nursery is so welcoming and the
staff are so friendly.


My little girl started in April this year and she's already come on leaps and bounds since being there, you can tell the girls really care about our babies!
If we have any concerns or worries they always listen and provide regular updates throughout the day!


It's lovely that it's also on Brampton Park so they have use of the grounds when it's warm.


I honestly wouldn't take my little girl anywhere else she absolutely loves it!

I am extremely happy with Brampton Park, my son has been here for just over a year and I have had no issues the whole time he has been there. Communication via the app is brilliant, always quick to update the app with photos of his activities what he has had for his meals. The outdoor space is amazing
and well utilized. They go outside a lot for picnics and play which is great. It's clear they genuinely care about the kids, especially the staff in the tots room. The smile on my son's face and his excitement when he goes into the nursery speaks for itself! :)

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.853)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.853) out of 10 for Kids Planet Brampton Park 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.853 for Kids Planet Brampton Park is calculated as follows: ( (261 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.853
  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 Brampton Park is based on 25 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 108 number of registered child places is 21.6, which has been reached with 25 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.
