Review from H J (Mother of Child) published on 24 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started in the baby room back in June and I honestly couldn't be happier with how well he's settled in. From the very beginning, the staff have been so warm, caring, and attentive. His key worker has built such a lovely bond with him, and it's been so reassuring to see how comfortable and happy
he is every day. He's not only settled in beautifully, but he's also thriving - taking part in a variety of fun and enriching activities like baking, arts and crafts, and picnics in the garden. His communication skills have come on so much in such a short time, and it's clear how much he's learning and developing through play. It really puts my mind at ease knowing he's in such a supportive, nurturing environment. I'm so grateful to the whole team for everything they do - their passion and care really shine through. I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent!

Staff are very quick to identify visitors & have a password system/fingerprint reader.
My nephew is always happy when I collect & all children look to be busy & having fun. They spend lots of time outside.
Staff are friendly & helpful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started pre-school here in September 2024 and we have been to multiple nurseries, I can feel the difference once starting here. Very professional and loving staff, great activities, challenging the children, absolutely no devices used! My son has grown leaps and bounds in terms of writing, activities,
sports, and concentration once starting here.
Love everything about it and will highly recommend it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All the staff at Kids Planet Lenton are fantastic. They are the reason it is such a successful nursery. They are consistent, kind, and really care about the well-being and education of the children. I love being able to drop my child off at nursery and know he'll be safe and cared for all day. The food
has a lot of variety and they have good opening hours for those who work long hours. The children love the outdoor space and they go outside every day to play, rain or shine! I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

Review from Louise A (Mother of Child) published on 17 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery has really helped my daughter thrive. The teaching staff are just wonderful, kind, friendly, and understanding.
They set clear goals and help your child to achieve them. They will learn and grow wonderfully here with indoor and outdoor play, action rhymes, art, baking, and story time. There's
lots of activities to keep them stimulated and engaged with no screen time. The food is nutritious and all sugar free. A brilliant nursery, I couldn't be happier.

Review from Larisa L (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is exceptionally great. Our older child attended from 10 months till almost 5, and now he also attends the holiday clubs. Our twins have been attending for 9 months for a year and a half now. We've never had any complaints. The facilities are good, the teachers take really good care of
kids and build such close bonds with them, truly they became like the second family for our children. When we look at the nursery pictures together, the kids are always happy to name their teachers and friends and the activities they were doing. It means they feel safe there. From the parent perspective, it's also great, The 7:30 to 18:30 schedule gives a lot of flexibility, the sibling discount is a lifesaver, and overall everyone is so accommodating and flexible in meeting our needs. There is great prep for school, my older son started phonics at 4 and made significant progress by the time he went to school which helped him feel confident in class, he's still one of the best readers.

Review from R M (Father of Child) published on 10 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We had our older child attending the nursery, and since 2 years ago also the younger one is. The staff is amazing, and the care that they give to children is impressive. Children just love the staff, and I believe that staff go above and beyond to relate to the children.
The management team does a
great job, it is always responsive, and they always tried to engage when issues arise.
They have their own cook, and the children benefit from a diverse diet, which also includes fruits and healthy snacks, but also sweets.

Kids Planet Lenton is always very welcoming. Staff are lovely and happy and hand over is always good and honest. Support and advice is always on hand should we need anything.
My child comes home and is always talking about what they have been up to and particularly enjoys phonics. They have learned
so much from the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.155)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.155) out of 10 for Kids Planet Lenton 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 8 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 4.938 for Kids Planet Lenton is calculated as follows: ( (90 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.938
  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 4.217 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Lenton is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.417
  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.
