Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Angel Nursery's services to our twins boys have been very satisfactory. The twins are well-adjusted and have developed and learnt a lot under the supervision of their carers. They have come out of their shells brighter.
One of the twins had a bit of a behavioural challenge. We noticed efforts have
been put in place from reviews to referrals by getting healthcare professionals involved.
The twins are more active both in their indoor and outdoor activities. Very inquisitive of their surroundings. More outspoken, friendly and always eager to learn more. In fact, they have really acquired a lot of skills to help them in their next stage.

My son started at Angels at the start of this year, having previously been at another local nursery. From the initial look around and settling in sessions I could see how engaged and caring the staff are. My son settled in immediately and has absolutely flourished in this setting. The staff are amazing
and we both adore each and every one. The chef's homemade meals (and cakes!) always go down well and my son never comes home hungry! He is always encouraged to be an individual and his interests are taken into account when planning activities. Angels really is a home from home for us, thank you.

Amazing nursery with lovely staff members, my 3-year-old loves spending days here, he has come on so much since starting last March. He has become better at socialising with other children and playing better in groups of children rather than by himself, which is something he struggled with before being
an only child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son thoroughly enjoys his time at Angels and his development has really come on since being there. He started in January when he was just about to turn 2, it was the first time he had attended a nursery setting and the first time he had been left with anyone but close family so I knew starting nursery
would be hard on him.
I cannot praise Angels enough. The staff at Angels are friendly and welcoming.
They genuinely care for the children and make the sessions fun and educational. My son loves his time at Angels so much, he always comes out of the nursery with a huge smile on his face. As a mum, that is all I can ask for is that my child is happy and safe.
The setting itself is fantastic - the children have lovely spaces to play in, both indoors and out.
The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble for them.

I cannot praise Angels enough. My little boy had never been left with anyone but close family so I knew starting nursery would be hard on him. The staff at Angels are so friendly and welcoming and made it so much easier on him (and me).
They genuinely care for the children and make the sessions both
fun and educational. My little boy would go every day if he could. He always comes out of the nursery with a huge smile and loves his time there. The setting itself is fab - the children have lovely spaces to play in, both indoors and out. 10/10.

My daughter has settled into nursery without a problem and this has been helped by the amazing staff and home-from-home environment. At the end of the day, I know exactly how my daughter has been with the aid of the brilliant diary that is filled in by the staff. She has come on in leaps and bounds
since attending Angels and we are so pleased we sent her there.

We have had two children attend Angels NUrsery from 7 months until attending school. We have been able to go to work knowing our children are being cared for and are developing a range of skills whilst in the care of Angels Nursery staff. Our children have thoroughly enjoyed their time at Angels, staff
have excellent links with parents and make your children feel safe in a home from home environment. We are proud to be part of Angels.

My son thoroughly enjoys his time at Angels and his development has really come on since being there. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble for them. I could not ask for a better start to his education.
The setting is great for feedback and communication to parents and the activities
that the children are able to access are fun and educational, my son always comes home with a smile on his face.

My daughter started Angels Nursery School around 12 months ago. She has settled really well. The staff are very kind, thoughtful and helpful with all of her needs. The nursery is very clean and provides good quality childcare. The meals and snacks are healthy and nutritious every day. I would recommend
family or friends to the nursery as it is a home from home surround and extra activities including singing groups, gym skills and dancing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After viewing numerous nurseries on the hunt for one I felt comfortable with, I settled on Angels Nursery School and I have never regretted the decision. My son has now been attending since he was one and is currently in the preschool and my second son joined when he was 9 months old he is now nearly
a year. My eldest son has thrived here, his understanding, communication and abilities have grown in line with his age thanks to Angels Nursery School he is a handful, to say the least, and they have nurtured him and controlled his "toddler tantrum moments" in a professional and understanding way. I had no hesitation in enrolling my second son as I had every confidence that they would look after him in the same way. So far it has proved the best decision that I have made in relation to their early years start.

Both of my children have been at Angels from a young age. One is now 7 and at school whilst my youngest has just moved up to preschool. This nursery is wonderful at helping children to grow, teaching them the vital things in a fun way. They always came/come home with a smile on their faces from a fun
and busy day whether that's included outdoor play, stories, toys or one of the activities set up and planned by the staff. All of the staff are friendly and helpful and can't do enough to help your child and give you excellent, in-depth feedback about their day.

My little boy has been coming to Angels Nursery School since he was 6 months old. Since being at Angels, he has developed into a confident and outgoing 2-year-old. He loves being outside and has been enjoying the new baby and toddler play area that has been developed. Knowing that he is well looked
after, while I'm at work, puts my mind at ease. The staff are very friendly, approachable and give the best care possible.

Both of my children have attended Angels, and both have loved it!
The staff are extremely caring and really understand each child's individual needs and requirements.
Each room is age appropriate and the activities provided for the children are really well planned and executed.
I cannot recommend
this nursery highly enough - they really do deserve their "outstanding" Ofsted report.

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.
