Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kids Planet is exceptional. Their attention to detail towards my daughter is second to none. As a first-time parent, I didn't know where to start when it came to finding a day nursery for my little girl but the nursery manager (who may I add is incredible at her job and the main reason I decided to
send my little girl there due to her warm and caring nature but more importantly her commitment to her role) settled all the nerves I had and reassured me! The rooms are filled with everything the children need, it is extremely clean, the outdoor space is perfect/safe! The kitchen menu is incredible and the safety throughout is excellent. There is nowhere else I'd want my baby to go, she is so happy there and that is all down to the care and kindness of all the staff at Kids Planet. If I could give a thousand stars I would!

Kids Planet Cheadle Stoke is absolutely wonderful. I cannot fault the staff and the manager is amazing at what she does. My baby boy absolutely loves it here and the transition has been perfect to settle him in he now goes in with no tears and has the best time whilst he is there, I constantly get updated
via the app with updates and pictures which I love. The manager makes sure we are constantly updated and she goes above and beyond with days like stay and play! 5 stars from me!

Genuinely could not ask for more in a nursery. Dropping our lad off with the ladies feels like dropping him off with family. All of the girls are very friendly and clearly good at what they do. They make the time to have a chat with us and genuinely seem interested, which makes for a really pleasant
and reassuring experience. When he has been emotional at drop off, I know he is in safe hands and with people who genuinely care and want to help. I get the sense they are allowed the freedom within their role to best support each child and their individual challenges. The range of activities they take part in are varied and all designed to encourage children to learn. My son has come on so much with their guidance. Thank you to everyone who is involved.

Kids Planet Stoke has been a big part of my children’s upbringing. From just 11 months old, the staff (past and present) have cared for the twins in a lovely homely setting.
The past year has been a delight for us all, the twins have progressed so much and are now ready to start primary school. The
preschool room keyworkers have worked incredibly hard to entertain, educate and nurture the twins. The mix of indoor and outdoor play is wonderful and the staff have allowed my twins to develop their own interests.
My daughter's confidence has blossomed in the past 6 months and the setting has helped so much. My son is quite studious and his academic interests have been very well met.
All staff (including those outside the room and management) are friendly, supportive and know our twins so well. I know they will miss everyone so much! We as parents will miss you too!
As we near the end of their time at Kids Planet, we would highly recommend the setting to any prospective parents/carers!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Brilliant and helpful staff. Staff are always available for a chat and provide regular feedback on kids and are open to discussion when needed. My two kids go to this nursery and they love it! Even though they started a bit later after the summer of 2022, they settled so quickly and not even once refused
to go. I could see the difference in my children's development clearly when they started the nursery and every time they transitioned from toddlers room to rising 3's and to preschool. Extremely nature-friendly environment. Last but not least, we visited all the nurseries in Cheadle and chose Kids Planet due to the way the managers gave us a tour of the establishment and discussed the concept that makes this nursery stand out from all others.

Both of our children attend Kids Planet Cheadle and we are extremely pleased with the care and love that they receive in the setting, in fact, we wish our eldest son didn’t have to leave to start school! We have seen such development with him and he has learnt so much from his amazing teacher/s in the
pre-school room. All the staff are extremely caring and attentive and we receive daily updates including activities, meals, sleeps and nappy changes! We are glad that our little boy, who is in the baby room, still has a few more years to go at the nursery and we would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about using Kids Planet Cheadle. Thank you for everything you do for the boys.

My daughter has just graduated from Kids Planet Cheadle.
Since she has been at the setting she has come on leaps and bounds. She has excelled in many areas which is purely down to the dedication of the staff supporting and encouraging her each day.
We are so lucky to have such a setting in our town,
they go above and beyond each day. Providing lots of activities and outings which are always varied.
I have recommended this setting to my family and friends with confidence and my youngest daughter will without a doubt be attending Kids Planet.

This is an absolutely fantastic nursery. My daughter is so happy here. All of the staff are kind, caring and thoughtful, with a great knowledge of my child’s needs. She has a great relationship with her keyworker and I am always fully updated throughout the day on the app of her activities, with a thorough
handover at the end of the day. We have a lovely relationship with all of the staff and it is such a warm environment, where we always feel welcome. The activities are always varied and they get to spend lots of time outside in the updated play areas. The setting is always clean and tidy, with lots of age-appropriate facilities throughout. We have had numerous health issues with our daughter and the staff have always shown great care and understanding with interest shown in her progress and how they can help us. I cannot recommend Kids Planet Cheadle Stoke highly enough, the staff are their biggest asset, but the setting is perfect as well.

Lovely little nursery. My son has come on leaps and bounds since he started here last year. He has made tons of friends and absolutely adores his key worker. In particular, the graduation event that the staff set up for the children and parents was absolutely fantastic. The way the children all walked
in separately to their own song whilst their key worker read out a paragraph about them was such a lovely touch. The hoodies that were gifted to the children were also lovely. Everything about it was just brilliant. Such a good day to make each child feel special and each parent feel proud. Thank you to you all for being so very caring and supportive to my son. I will never be able to thank you enough.

Kids Planet Cheadle Stoke is the most amazing nursery and I couldn’t recommend it enough! All of the staff are so attentive and caring, they go above and beyond to provide the most outstanding care. The activities that they provide throughout the day, both indoors and outdoors, are fantastic. I love
looking at them on the app when I receive regular moments. Since my granddaughter has been attending her development has really blossomed, her speech is really developing and her social skills have vastly improved, this is down to all of the amazing staff. Thank you for everything that you do! Simply amazing.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
I have used this nursery for all 6 of my children. During 2019-2021, Poppins couldn’t do enough for us as a family and I was very happy with the care provided. Unfortunately, things have progressively gone downhill since the family-run nursery was taken over by Kids Planet (KP).
Upon registering our
twin girls to start nursery, I was shocked that we had to pay quite a large fee for the settling-in sessions. This gets dressed up with free gifts, but they’re not worth it. We spent £100 for our daughters to “settle in” even though KP couldn’t accommodate settling sessions close enough to their start date!
We had issues with our girls on the food. It clearly wasn’t agreeing with them and we spent a number of weeks with the nursery trying to pinpoint the problem. Eventually, we sent the girls with packed lunches which they refused to use! They have refused to compromise or provide a solution at all.
Haven’t even had a chance to mention the bullying of staff either as this review is capped!

Absolutely fabulous nursery. Every single staff member is amazing. Can't do enough for children and parents. The facilities are great. I didn't want to put my child into childcare due to concerns they wouldn't be treated well but I am extremely grateful to the staff treating my child as their own, with
love and compassion.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Following our recent transfer to Kids Planet Cheadle Stoke, we have seen nothing other than gold-standard child care and family support which is second to none.
Our little boy is settling in well and the staff are working in partnership with us as a family to draw up plans to enhance his development.
The setting has extensive knowledge of special educational needs and the company itself has a very exclusive service in relation to having special educational needs professionals working across the whole of the company. We have had the opportunity to discuss our needs and have already (during the induction process) been made aware of the approach that will be taken to care for our son.
I cannot express in a few words just how much of a difference that Kids Planet has already made to us as a family.
We thank them so much!

She enjoys the activities that are available and has made lots of lovely friends.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.976)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.976) out of 10 for Kids Planet Cheadle Stoke 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.976 for Kids Planet Cheadle Stoke is calculated as follows: ( (280 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.976
  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 Cheadle Stoke is based on 24 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 78 number of registered child places is 15.6, which has been reached with 24 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.
