My son has been attending Kids planet since he was 10 Months old he's now 2 and a half, i can not thank the staff enough, his development has come on so much, his social skills are amazing and he knows all the staff by name and tells us who's looked after him on the day he's been in, my son was recently
potty training and we felt so supported by the nursery through this process.


Staff are always so welcoming and friendly, give thorough and detailed handovers at pick up time, and communication through the Famly app is fantastic.


Kids planet do a range of activities for the children including outdoor and messy play, they also have an outdoor shed for book time which my son absolutely loves.


My son has a dairy allergy which is always catered for excellently and during baking activities a dairy free alternative is given so he is not left out.

I wouldn't send my children anywhere else. It is a home from home for us. The care all staff show towards the children is incredible. Every morning without fail they greet my daughter with a hug and a smile and make her feel comfortable at all times. We are proud to be apart of kids planet rugeley

My daughter started when she was only 6 months old, she is now 17 months and she absolutely loves it at Kids Planet Rugeley - she walks in with her glasses ready for the day ahead. All the team in baby room are amazing and have so much time for you as a parent. I would be lost with out them. As a full
time working on mum they have been so helpful and flexible when they can.
Thank you - Superstars

Our daughter Tailynn has absolutely flourished since starting at this nursery. Being without nearby cousins or other young family members, the social skills she's gained here have been incredible. Her speech, confidence, eating habits, and curiosity have all grown so much, and her personality truly
shines. The staff are amazing - so lovely, patient, and genuinely caring - and their support has had such a positive impact at home. We feel completely confident leaving her in their care and are so grateful for everything they do for her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Flynn has been attending Kids Planet Rugeley since he was 14 months old(12 months adjusted) and is now 19 months old. He initially struggled with separation anxiety, but the staff were always so kind,friendly, and welcoming, which really helped him settle. He now goes in with no tears and waves bye.


The

photos and updates we receive through the Famly app are very reassuring, and the activities look fun and engaging. We chose Kids Planet based on recommendations from other parents, which made the transitions much easier for me as an anxious mum going back to work. We are so pleased knowing he is happy, safe and well cared for.

My little boy has been at the nursery since he was 7 months old, he loves everyone there so much! He talks about the staff when he is at home all the time and tells us about all the fun things they do. The nursery provide so much for the children and always go off their interests. Their love for outdoors
is amazing, especially the fire pit sessions. We love all the updates and feedback from the staff. We are gutted that he will have to leave nursery to go to school soon.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since our daughter has started here she's come on in leaps and bounds. I can't thank everyone at Kids Planet enough for what they have done for our little girl and being an essential part in not just her education but her overall development into a funny and very loud little girl.
She absolutely loves
going to nursery, I think if she could stay there 24/7 she would. She literally never wants to leave when I pick her up and ignores her dad when she gets there to go play with her friends and the staff. If that doesn't speak volumes about the place. The food as well is fantastic she eats better than me.
I love to see how she's doing and what she's getting up to do it's nice that they have an app where they will post a story time of what she's doing today with some pictures and then also what she's had to eat, gone to the toilet and if she has a sleep to which is all time stamped.
The staff are so lovely and friendly and you can tell they really care about the children.
Reply from Amy Carroll at Kids Planet RugeleyThank you for your lovely words, we are glad to hear that you are happy with how your daughter is progressing with us, and how much she loves coming, and how you enjoy the updates on the app too. Great to hear.

This is such a wonderful nursery. I really do feel like I am leaving my child with the experts. They make me feel so at ease about having to leave my child to go to work. He really enjoys going. They are always happy to give me advice when I ask. I never feel rushed out of the door, the team always
have time for you. Thank you so much for all your hard work. This place feels like an extended family and they offer regular parent events for you to attend. I love that they teach core skills and recognise the importance of the great outdoors. My boy has developed so much since starting here.
Outstanding service.

The staff are all so caring and friendly, and my child is so excited to go to nursery in the morning. They happily list off the members of staff in their room and tell me how they have played with them, fed them or helped them sleep. We have moved out of the area since we started at the nursery, but
I am more than happy to travel to keep our child in such a welcoming and safe environment where they have been for almost 2 years. Every week they come home thriving and learning new activities to teach me too.

Since joining Kids Planet Rugeley and starting in their Baby's room my son's confidence, social skills, and cognitive development have all increased massively. All of the extra activities the staff do with the children is brilliant. The care, helpfulness and personal bonds all the staff have made with
my son are fantastic. Each and every staff member are a credit to the Nursery. I'd highly recommend any parent placing their children in this nursery.

Myself, my husband and my little boy couldn't speak highly enough of Kids Planet Rugeley. My son is now 27 months old and has been attending this nursery since he was 9 months old. He absolutely loves it. The staff absolutely make the nursery a wonderful place, the manager is amazing, she is always
happy to listen to feedback, and help and support to make sure that our children are happy at the nursery. She is caring and compassionate but also very professional. The other staff in the nursery are also excellent, they provide the most amazing learning opportunities whilst showing care and compassion to all children. The staff know each child so well, knowing their likes and dislikes, always supporting the children to thrive. The nursery is amazing, from the staff; the healthy meals; the online app to keep us updated; the wonderful toys and space. We are so grateful that our son has had such a lovely start to his learning life.

Seeing the difference in my daughter from attending this setting is amazing. She’s learnt so much and has grown in confidence, and independence and her personality is shining. This is thanks to all of the staff and everything that they do. The activities that they set up and provide for the children
are lovely and focused on the children’s ages and interests. The staff go above and beyond in all areas and this has shown from the bond my daughter has with the staff there. The staff also upload photos, food, sleep and nappies each session which allows parents to see what they have been up to whilst working which is lovely to see and gives peace of mind. I honestly couldn’t ask for anything more.

I couldn’t fault this nursery! My child loves going in each day. The staff are always welcoming and friendly and the room is always inviting and clean! She gets a good balanced diet there and is coming away happy each day! The communication is great and all staff are always willing to go above and beyond!

My son has been attending this nursery since he was 14 months old. He loves going. The staff are caring, kind and nurturing and the activities are tailored to peak his natural interests and develop his social, emotional, behavioural, and cognitive function. This is really important to us because he
was born premature. We can't thank the staff enough for everything they do for our little boy. Knowing he is happy takes away the mum's guilt.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.974)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.974) out of 10 for Kids Planet Rugeley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.974 for Kids Planet Rugeley is calculated as follows: ( (304 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.974
  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 Rugeley is based on 26 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 69 number of registered child places is 13.8, which has been reached with 26 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.
