Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been going to Kids Planet at Brampton Park since September 2024. I couldn't be more pleased with the staff and how my son is cared for. They go above and beyond, making it a fun and safe place. My little one has come on so well with his development since starting there! Special thank you
to the staff in babies and the staff in Tots! you're all wonderful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the very beginning, it has been clear that my child is not only well cared for but genuinely loved by the staff. They are incredibly attentive, prioritising her well-being, happiness, and development.
We really appreciate the support provided for my child's milk intolerance and reflux needs when
she was younger. The staff celebrate every milestone with excitement and are a huge part of our daughter's life. It's also wonderful to see how staff from different rooms interact with the children, fostering a sense of community and aiding in smooth transitions as they grow. Whenever she experiences the emotional ups and downs that can come with teething, sleepless nights, or just feeling overwhelmed, there is always a friendly face and a warm hug available to lift her spirits. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of care and dedication demonstrated by everyone at Kids Planet. Thank you for creating such a safe and loving environment for my child to learn and grow!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I was overall happy with the nursery I did find that communication went a bit downhill after Kids Planet took over, there were very few pictures of my children I couldn't really see what they were up to through the day whereas previously this was very good. My children had no problems there and I never
had to raise any concerns with the staff at any time. The rooms were always clean and staff-friendly.

Kids Planet has lovely staff who really take care of my child and spend time getting to know him. They always escalate concerns which I am very grateful for. My child has settled in well, enjoys his activities and is kept safe. Staff are kind, caring, polite and loving. I would like more updates regarding
learning opportunities and activities that take place in the day to monitor development but this doesn't often happen on the app. My child is well fed and enjoys his food however I have noticed a lack of vegetables being provided and often has the same meals. Overall good nursery I am pleased I picked it. My son seems happy.

I've had a great experience with this nursery so far. The staff are really helpful, caring and give me lots of updates on the app which is great to see. My baby is really enjoying it there and is learning lots of new things every time he goes. I'm so happy that my baby is settled here and that we have
chosen a lovely nursery.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. Lovely caring staff, my little boy loves it and is so happy there. The updates I get each day of what’s happening and what he’s done is amazing too. He’s come on so much already and he’s only been there 3 months. I would recommend this nursery to everyone living in and
around the Newcastle Under Lyme area!

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.
