  • 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.

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.
