  • Kids Planet Newbold, Chesterfield
Kids Planet Newbold is a nursery based in a small village north of Chesterfield.

It is at the heart of the community and is easily accessible by car or walking. The building was used many years ago used as an infant school, after being fully refurbished by ourselves it makes an ideal nursery setting.

The large outdoor play area has been ideally landscaped to provide children with an outdoor environment that provides all areas of learning; including a purpose built mud kitchen, climbing frame, vegetable plots and planters, outdoor classroom and sandpit. There are two main play rooms; Toddlers (2-3 years) and Pre-school (3-5 years) and a separate building for Babies (0-2 years).

The safety and well-being of your child is essential. A digital intercom entry system enables staff to identify all visitors before allowing anyone access into the nursery. A full HD CCTV system is installed and monitored daily.

Kids Planet Newbold is the best nursery I have chosen so far. All the staff are lovely and work very well and are patient with my daughter. She is always excited to go to school even though she hates getting up early in the mornings. She is always happy and very well looked after and they have been
brilliant with me too.

My child attends this nursery and we find it amazing for him. He’s come on so much since starting here, he didn’t settle well at first but due to the staffs hard work, he now can’t wait to go to nursery. All the staff there are amazing at what they do and always welcome you with a smile.

Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Newbold is a brilliant nursery, far better than the previous nursery my daughter went to. The daily updates on the app of what she has eaten throughout the day and the observations that are also put on the app are easy to read and understand. The staff there have always got
time to talk about how they’ve been and you never feel pressured to just get your child and leave. They have a lot of time for the children which shows when I pick my daughter up and she doesn’t stop talking about the teachers. Would highly recommend anyone to take their child or children here, five stars.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My little girl loves it so much, nine months in and she has come on so well. The staff are amazing. They have been so supportive of my little girl as she had milk and food allergies as a baby, requiring detailed attention. The app is also so helpful and reassuring
too, letting us know what she's had for meals, her nappies, her sleep and also what activities she has been doing, with an occasional lovely picture. This makes leaving her for work that little bit easier. I also feel a huge pro to this nursery is the separate baby room to the rest of the children. The separate sleep room with actual beds too is what attracted me to the nursery. Overall, I cannot praise the nursery and the staff enough. Thank you!

My son attends this nursery and although he hasn’t been here long he really loves it. He settled in straight away and has made friends already which is always really nice and reassuring knowing your little one is in a happy environment. The staff are all lovely and made us feel welcome from the start.
My son has a milk allergy which the nursery have catered for well and I get updates during the day so I know what’s he’s eaten and what he’s been doing. I’d definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking.

I have used this nursery for both my children and have always been happy with the care they receive. All the staff are approachable and they are happy to talk things through/work things out together. My child has really enjoyed being back at nursery since the lockdown and the staff have tried their
best to make this second transition as smooth as possible. They provide lots of different activities and the outside space is great.

Kids Planet at Newbold has been brilliant with my daughter ever since she started there and she has come on leaps and bounds.
I wouldn't choose any other nursery other than this nursery as nothing is too much trouble at all and very approachable at all times.
All the staff and other parents are all
very friendly which makes it a nice environment to be in.

All the staff are polite, always tell you what's happened if there have been any problems. Happy to help with anything they can. My son loves going here and as soon as the door opens he is gone. The staff look after him and are helping him with his talking.

My twin daughters attend Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Newbold and have done for the past two years. The staff are just phenomenal. I sometimes struggle with having two, however, staff help and support me and nothing is too much trouble. The nursery needs a gold medal at times with some of the situations
they have had to deal with, lots of credit and praise should be given! We will miss the friends and family relationships we have made.

My Son has been going to this nursery for 15 months and loves it! I was at ease leaving him there to go to work under the care of the fantastic staff knowing he was going to be well looked after and cared for. The staff are always friendly and approachable and my Son has formed strong bonds. The environment
is always safe, inviting and brightly decorated throughout and always has stimulating activities for the children to access. They provide a healthy, well balanced menu which runs on a 3 week cycle and the children have both milk and water to drink. The outdoor play area is also well equipped and spacious. Overall my experience so far has been fantastic and would highly recommend this nursery to anyone. I have recently had another baby and she will definitely be going alongside my Son when the time arises.

Everyone at Cheeky Monkeys is professional, caring and excellent with our daughter. They provide interesting and fun activities which have developed our daughter into a confident and bright toddler. She has been at Cheeky Monkeys since she was 8 months old and loves all the staff and other children
like one big happy family. She looks forward to going to nursery and always talks about what she's been doing and how they are all her friends. The nursery isn't that near to our house but I wouldn't hesitate to send any other children we have to Cheeky Monkeys as the outside areas are much better than the ones in town and the carers are all fantastic.

My daughter has settled in great. The staff have been excellent and very understanding when my daughter struggled at first. She has gone from disliking going to wanting to go. There is always someone available to talk to. The nursery itself is clean, activities are always set out for a range of choices.
I feel well informed about events, my daughter's progress overall. I will be sad when my daughter leaves next year. Well done to all the staff for their hard work on maintaining a fantastic environment for early years.

I would highly recommend this nursery, my little boy has been going here for the last year and really enjoys his time here. The staff are all lovely and all the staff get to know the children, so it's very friendly and inviting for the children. It has a lovely outdoor space too so the kids can play
out lots.

Since my son started attending Cheeky Monkeys Nursery in 2015. He has come along very well with his speech and with going to the toilet. I am pleased and happy with leaving my son with the staff there as they are very kind and caring and they also inform me on what he does for the day, and what and
how much food he eats.

Amazing staff, my little boy started at 6 months and with their support he's grown in to an independent, caring and adventurous toddler. The ladies at the nursery have become more like friends, than his day to day carers. He loves going to the nursery, learning new things and making new friends. I struggle
to get him to leave. Keep up the good work!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.931)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.931) out of 10 for Kids Planet Newbold 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.931 for Kids Planet Newbold is calculated as follows: ( (300 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 321 Ratings = 4.931
  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 Newbold is based on 27 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 27 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.
