My child enjoys the nursery so much and has settled so well over these last couple of months! He loves the outdoor play and the girls in the room make so much of an effort with him, it's so lovely to see and he has lots of regular pictures and observations that we love to see, can't recommend this place
enough, amazing!

Since our little one started at this nursery (formally Hollies Day Nursery), we have all loved the experience. From settling on sessions, handovers, photos, updates and general conversation the staff and setting are wonderful. The setting is calm, relaxing and engaging. The staff are kind, caring, knowledgeable
and professional. Our little one has come on lead and bounds from the opportunities given, especially sign time!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would like to share a review of the exceptional country park day nursery that my one-year-old son attends. As a parent, finding a nurturing and safe environment for such a young child is no small task, but this nursery has far exceeded my expectations. The level of care, the warmth of the staff, and
the engaging activities they provide have created a truly wonderful experience for my son and for me as a parent! From the very first day, it was clear that my son was in a place where he would be genuinely cared for. The nursery staff have a way of making each child feel special, and they've taken time to understand my son's unique needs, his personality, and even his little quirks. They provide daily feedback on how he spent his time, whether he's tried new foods or interacted with new friends, and they're always open to listening to any concerns or updates I might have about his routine at home. Thank you Country Park.

My daughter has been attending the Country Park Nursery for just over 8 months and in that time, she's created an incredible bond with the team in the baby room. The whole team really care for my daughter and whenever I pick her up, she has a huge smile on her face! I have to give a special thanks to
the nursery manager and another staff member. We went through a challenging period a couple of months ago and they both did everything they could to support my daughter and our family, going above and beyond.

Review from H S (Mother of Child) published on 28 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 1-year-old in the baby room loves the weekly hand sign session, the teacher also shares a video of the signs for the week so parents can learn too, this has massively helped with communication at home. The care and ethos of the nursery has developed the confidence and social skills of my little one,
the staff take the time to invest in individual relationships and he misses going when nursery is shut! He eats everything and has a decent nap, there's rarely any drama at drop-off. The staff regularly update the app with useful information and photos of activities he's been enjoying.

Thank you for the feedback, all the children love the signing sessions and we have seen a impact on children's development with communication. Really appreciate the review.

Review from D R (Father of Child) published on 28 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is a great environment for both our daughters. Our youngest (18 months) is developing in leaps and bounds with her coordination and motor skills, not to mention her speech and social skills. Our eldest who has just started school had no issues at starting school which I put down to how
the nursery and staff prepared them for the school environment as they got closer to school starting age. The staff are warm and friendly, always welcoming every child in the morning with a smile. In the evening we are given personal feedback of what our child has done that day, how they have been and any stories of what they have done. The staff genuinely enjoy their jobs and it shows, having nothing but a positive impact on the children in their care.

Kids Planet Country Park is an amazing nursery. It's a true home-from-home experience, which is very important to us when leaving our child in their care. They offer a wide range of activities that are constantly challenging the children to learn in lots of different ways. Everyone is so welcome and
it almost has the feel of an extended family. The staff there fill us with the utmost confidence with the care of our child and I know all that they do is in the best interests of the children.

Thank you for the review we always see the children as a extension of our country park family. We are grateful for all the feedback

Our daughter has been at Hollies since November 2013, aged 10 months, and graduated in August, aged 4. I am so impressed with the love and dedication the staff show. Each and every day they welcomed our daughter would tell us about 'something special' she had done each day. Our daughter thrived in their
care - benefitting from learning French, Spanish, baby signing, going to forest schools and trips into the local community. I wholeheartedly recommend Hollies and look forward to our newest arrival joining them next year!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visited about 15 nurseries before I picked Hollies.
Compared to other nurseries I give Hollies 10 out of 10. My husband and I find the staff friendly, helpful and attentive to our daughter's needs.
She has enjoyed painting, going on walks to the park to see the horses and has fun playing in the
nursery garden.
It is a great feeling being able to go back to work and not worry about the care of my child, knowing she is happy where she is.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.929)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.929) out of 10 for Kids Planet Country Park 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.929 for Kids Planet Country Park is calculated as follows: ( (312 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 4.929
  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 Country Park is based on 28 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 28 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.
