Review from Abbie D (Mother of Child) published on 4 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff are lovely and attentive to my child's individual needs. They have got to know my child well and pick up quickly when she is upset or not herself that day. Staff are always friendly and professional when talking to myself and are knowledgeable about children's development when I have questions
relating to my child. The setting is always clean, has appropriate activities, a variety of things tailored to the child's interests as well as varied foods to eat at snack and dinner.The safeguarding aspect is very thorough, if staff don't recognise someone picking up their child they will check with other staff, and phone myself to check I know and expected this person to be attending the nursery to collect my child. I am very happy with the nursery as a whole!

Review from D B (Father of Child) published on 9 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter loves nursery and loves preschool. She's always excited and comes home tired so I know she's had a full and busy day. The staff are welcoming and friendly. They let me know how her day has been, what she's eaten etc. It's nice as a dad to be recognised as well, and not constantly questioned
whether she's my kid.

My little girl first started here in May, since she started with this nursery her confidence has grown so much along with learning many new skills. The staff are lovely and always have time for any questions I may have and always give detailed handovers.

My son has been going to Kingfisher Day Nursery for a while now he absolutely loves it, he is always happy to go and the staff are amazing. Good communication, professional but also supportive which is great considering how the last year has been for little ones. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been coming to Kingfisher Day Nursery Derby Chapel Street since she was 9 months old, the nursery staff are so lovely and made me feel at ease too. My daughter has come on leaps and will be starting school in September and is so ready for it, the nursery I believe have given her the
best start and got her completely ready for school.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.004)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.004) out of 10 for Kids Planet Spondon is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 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 4.722 for Kids Planet Spondon is calculated as follows: ( (53 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.722
  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 4.282 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Spondon is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.8 = 0.682
  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.
