My Granddaugher has been attending the nursery two afternoons for the past four months. She is very happy to attend and I find the staff are friendly and informative when I drop her off and do the pick up.

When he joined Kids Planet they really had their work cut out as he'd had a negative experience at another setting! It was only through a lot of patience, understanding, and flexibility that he now loves his days at nursery. The staff know who my little boy is and have gone above and beyond for us.
I'm so thankful that the time he spends there he enjoys, with people he trusts!
Thank you

Our daughter has been at Kids Planet since September 2024. She had trouble adjusting but was really helped by the lovely staff, they were very kind and helped her and me adjust.
She has grown very fond of many of the staff members and gets excited to see them.
We've not had any issues and have seen
improvements in our daughters social skills.
Her food palette has also gotten so much better!

My little girl is happy here and the staff are just lovely. The staff are all so encouraging, gentle and doting on her. Her development has really come on also and she cannot wait to get in the door in the morning. If you are thinking about sending your little one there, don't think about it anymore
and just do it! You won't regret it! Thanks.

Best nursery in town.
My son is loving it and he always enjoys his time there. They love singing and playing and they have an amazing garden.
Staff is very friendly too. Price is great also. No concerns at all.

My daughter has been at Kids Planet since January 2021. She has loved her time here and we're so sad it's coming to an end for big girl school! The staff have always been amazing at what they do! the relationships they have built with my daughter and us have been incredible, they have been excellent
in everything from handovers, care and support (for her and myself!) She always leaves happy and excited to go back, that's all we could ask for.

I cannot rave about Kids Planet enough. The team have been absolutely amazing from August 2023 to present. The way they communicate about everything; from day-to-day goings on to upcoming events and future plans.
My child is autistic and the plans, resources and time they have put in place to best
benefit him are unmatched. He has grown healthy attachments to his key workers and thrives in the environment they provide.
I cannot recommend them enough. My youngest will also be starting with them come September.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of our children went here, our youngest son still goes here, whilst the eldest one is now in school. The staff are lovely, so attentive and caring. Our children have formed a loving rapport with the teachers and it just makes us, as parents, feel like they are truly cared for and loved whilst they
are at nursery. They have learned so much from going to this nursery and always talk about the amazing activities they get to do whilst they are there. The staff are truly incredible people, always greet you with the biggest smile, always showing interest in each child and I could not be more grateful to these people for giving my children so much love, you almost feel like you are dropping them off to family members rather than a nursery.

We have nothing but positives to say about preschool. The staff are all wonderful. Kind considerate and have offered support through welcoming a new baby into the family.
Activities, food, resources are all well thought out. We recommend this nursery to all and will be using them again for our second
child.

My child has been attending Kids Planet Kettering and as he prepares to move on to primary school, I want to express my immense satisfaction and gratitude for the fantastic experience we've had. The staff are incredibly helpful, well-organised, and consistently dedicated to creating a safe, stimulating,
and nurturing environment. Their individualised approach has fostered my child's love for learning and development, ensuring he feels supported and encouraged at every step. I am deeply thankful for the exceptional care and education provided, and I highly recommend Kids Planet to any parent.

My son loves going to nursery and is always excited when telling us about what he gets up to while he’s there. He has learned so much and acquired many skills whilst attending. He gets on well with the other children, as well as the staff that he sees regularly, which is a reflection on how well he
is looked after.

I'm really excited how my little one is improving her development at Kids Planet Kettering. She's now for nearly two months attending this nursery and she loves this place, she has gotten so many friends in there and smiling all the time. She's counting, speaks so many words, singing and dancing, loads
of activities learning about the seasons of the year and many other things for children. The staff are dedicated and highly qualified professionals and friendly environment. I'm happy with my choice to move her to this nursery.

We chose Kids Planet (when it was still Angels) for our eldest daughter and have nothing but good things to say about it. Our daughter absolutely thrived thanks to the amazing staff. Her confidence and social skills are excellent and this is largely due to the way she has been nurtured and developed
at nursery. We have always felt that the team at Kids Planet really care about the welfare of each and every child and completely devote themselves to making sure the children are in a safe and happy environment. The enhancements to the nursery that have been bought in since Kids Planet took over have only made things even better. Our youngest daughter also started at Kids Planet this year and just loves it! We live in Corby now, but there are no nurseries there that even compare and Kids Planet Kettering was always going to be our first choice, we love it!

Staff have been so friendly and welcoming and made a real effort to get to know my children and what they enjoy. They were very supportive in the first few sessions and very reassuring to me. The girls have settled very quickly and are really happy. Management team have been super flexible which is
very appreciated. Very happy with the nursery.

My 2 children currently go here and have done for a few years. The girls there are excellent with the kids and always keep us informed on changes that are happening in the nursery and give detailed handovers in the evening which we love! Both of my kids skip into nursery every morning and are so excited
to see their friends and ladies there!
Thank you.

We couldn't ask for a better setting, the staff are friendly and loving and this clearly shows when our boy comes home. He has been with the Kids Planet (formerly Angels) since 9 months old and truly does see it as a home from home.
We have regular updates and feedback via their parenting app and couldn't
be happier!

Fantastic nursery! Kids Planet really has been a home from home for our little boy. He started in the toddler room and is just about to leave pre-school. It has been a wonderful journey for him and us as parents. The staff really are amazing. Our son has learnt so much and grown in confidence, he has
built such strong bonds with the staff. The communication from the nursery is always brilliant, we always get great handovers each day and kept up to date with things going on in the nursery. Our little boy loves going to nursery and always come out so excited telling us all about his day. He said he is going to miss nursery and we are too! We feel at ease knowing he is being so well looked after, learning lots and having fun.

The staff team are very engaged with the children and are friendly and approachable. There is a wide range of activities on offer,
both inside and outdoors. We definitely made the right choice for our daughter.

So pleased with the nursery, they've been so helpful and kind to us and our daughter loves going!
It's hard finding the right nursery and leaving your child for the first time but we trust Angels and know they will do right by our child.
Our daughter's development and confidence has been amazing
since she started nursery, the staff are brilliant and really put the children (and parents) at ease with their big smiles and happy attitudes.
Our daughter loves the food cooked on-site, I often say she eats better than us with the wonderful dishes the chef makes.
Management have been amazing and always happy to help.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.775)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.775) out of 10 for Kids Planet Kettering 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 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 4.866 for Kids Planet Kettering is calculated as follows: ( (107 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.866
  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 4.909 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Kettering is based on 10 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 55 number of registered child places is 11. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 11 = 0.909
  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.
