Such a lovely little nursery with a real family feel to it. There's lots of activities and fun stuff happening all the time. My daughter goes to Poppy & Jacks Astley Bridge full time and I completely trust the staff to look after my daughter as if she was one of their own children.

Both my boys have absolutely loved their time at Poppy & Jacks. The staff are so nurturing and friendly and have developed great relationships with my children and ourselves. The environment is engaging for the children and is well developed with current topics as themes to enhance the children’s learning.
My boys have received a great start in life and are always excited to go. I am very happy with the care my children have received at this nursery.

This is a fantastic nursery. Both of my children have gone to this nursery from 6 months old. They have both received a high-quality education and are always met by happy and positive staff that really care about the children. The nursery ensures that the children are fully prepared for school. Would
recommend without hesitation.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Really happy with the nursery and all the nursery staff. My son is clearly prospering and really enjoying his time in the nursery.
The only thing I would say is that the facilities need a bit of a spruce up (toilets and some little painting jobs etc).
Thank you.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff are very pleasant and always happy to help. There is definitely room for improvement in terms of keeping on top of nappy changing. Overall happy with the nursery. Also room for improvement on the lack of update and information on the App. I preferred how much detail was given when it was email
based.

My child attends nursery 3 full days.
She is well looked after by the lovely, caring staff that work there from the moment I drop her off.
They have freshly prepared meals made throughout the day.
I am kept up to date with pictures, activities and meals she has eaten/ done throughout the day.
Highly
recommended.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.778)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.778) out of 10 for Kids Planet Astley Bridge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.778 for Kids Planet Astley Bridge is calculated as follows: ( (140 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.778
  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 Astley Bridge is based on 13 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 13 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.
