Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one is really settled here, he is confident with the staff and happy to go to nursery everyday. The staff are lovely and caring and he is making good progress. My only gripe is I never receive any information about the day, we used to receive pictures and updates of what the children have
been doing. I don't rate the app and it's updated so little it's a little pointless. I don't know if this is due to him being in preschool and no longer a smaller child but it would still be nice to see what he's been doing during the day.
Reply from Kids Planet Team at Kids Planet Little LeverThank you for sharing your honest feedback. We're happy to hear about how settled your little one is and the lovely comments about the staff. Thank you for sharing your review regarding the app, we love to understand how we can improve and will look into this to ensure you are receiving the full experience.

Both of my boys have attended Kids Planet Little Lever. One of which is diagnosed with Autism.
Kids Planet have been extremely welcoming and patient with my children, they really look forward to their days at nursery. My little boy with Autism has had a lot of wonderful support from everybody at Kids
Planet. They have helped me immensely with reviews for his peads team and assessments at nursery to ensure they are meeting his needs to the best possible standard they can.
I would recommend kids planet to every parent who is considering them for their children. There's nothing negative I could possible say.


Thank you Kids Planet Little Lever for taking exceptionally great care of my children.

Reply from Kids Planet Team at Kids Planet Little LeverThank you so much for your wonderful review and for sharing your experience with us.

I am incredibly happy with the care and service my daughter has received. The staff are so approachable and always make us feel welcome, which gives me great peace of mind. Wynter has made lots of friends and is genuinely excited to go every morning. It's heartwarming to see her enthusiasm!
I've noticed
how much she's learned and how beautifully she's been developing since attending. Her confidence, skills, and overall growth have been remarkable. Thank you to everyone for creating such a positive and nurturing environment for my daughter. I couldn't ask for more.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A great nursery. My son is completely thriving under Kids Planet care since he started at 9 months old, and I am confident and relaxed that he receives as much love and attention as he does at home. I love the all-inclusive nature of the site - it is just one less thing to think about. He is exposed
to a varied diet, and he is kept busy, entertained, and challenged through various plays throughout the day. All the staff are so lovely in the rooms and office. I particularly like that the nursery is signed up for forest school, and through the app, there are regular updates on the day-to-day, as well as capturing special moments and is a really useful tool for communication throughout the day. It felt like a huge decision choosing a nursery to provide care for my little one and I am wholeheartedly confident that I made the right choice.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started when she was 8 months old. Leaving my little one during COVID was the scariest time of our lives but the staff was amazing and an absolute dream. My little girl is our Miracle after years of trying to conceive, choosing a nursery was daunting, but this nursery is warm and welcoming
and has that homely feeling which was so important to me and my husband as family is everything. I feel like we are part of the family. My little girl is now ready to leave for big school, the amazing preschool team have prepared her so well and I know that we will miss the nursery. The staff have made my dreams come true and captured so many amazing memories to cherish, Christmas plays, graduation. I honestly could not have asked for a better start in life for my daughter. The nursery is truly special and as a family we feel blessed to have had the opportunity to be part of this amazing nursery, you will all hold a very special place in our hearts. Thank you.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. We really like the Parent Zone app the nursery uses for updates and pictures during the day. Lots of different activities and plenty of fresh air and walks, which is important to us. The variety of food is fantastic too.

The girls have helped us get settled into the nursery while also adapting to having a new sibling at home. He is always happy when I pick him up and tells me how much fun he has had and what he has been playing with (his bikes and messy play are his favourites). Management were also understanding and
flexible when it came to visits and start date due to baby arriving early and everyone has made us feel so welcome. Thank you

Amazing nursery, my child has been there since he was around 7 months. He leaves this September and I will be sad to see him leave all the lovely ladies. The staff are so welcoming and helpful with any issues you may have. You are always told about what your child has done through the day, meals etc
the staff are always approachable.

Our daughter has been here since she was 6 weeks, the staff have been amazing and welcoming and our daughter adores them. She never cries when going in. She goes to the staff as if they are our own family. I'm updated daily verbally and on the app. I've had no issues whatsoever and would highly recommend.
The staff treat the children as if they were their own.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.960)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.960) out of 10 for Kids Planet Little Lever is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.960 for Kids Planet Little Lever is calculated as follows: ( (333 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 346 Ratings = 4.96
  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 Little Lever is based on 29 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8, which has been reached with 29 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.
