My child couldn't speak or understand English when she first started. She is more bubbly and lively now and she is always ready for school.
Thanks to the team - I am very grateful.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The nursery provides a home and warm environment for children and I felt 100% secure that my child was safe. The staff were quick to notice if they needed extra support in certain areas and quickly worked with him to get him ready for school. I feel like my child got the full social aspect at nursery
as he turned beru sociable at the end and they provided trips out such as the local farm and swimming lessons. He developed so much at this time at nursery and I would recommend this nursery.

Review from Lee H (Father of Child) published on 12 July 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been at the nursery since she was one, and in that time it has become like a second home to her. Everyone plays and has played a part in her growth into the wonderful little girl she is. Without the care, support and guidance of all the team (who are like an extended family to her)
she may not be the amazing little girl she is now. The welcoming atmosphere, creative set-ups and social network that has been developed has certainly been a massive part of what keeps her coming back each day eager to learn more. We know that this will certainly be the case for all other children who attend, and have attended in the past, and for future generations of children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery is a fantastic place for all kids. My daughter loves coming here every day and seeing her friends, playing and learning new things. She has come on leaps and bounds over the years which may not have happened if not for the fantastic care she receives. Everyone is so invested in her development
to make sure she gets the most out of her time there. She has made some friends for life and I'm sure she will always remember her special time at Kids Planet. We would highly recommend the nursery to other parents.

Since our little girl has started this nursery we have always been well informed with regards to her development and how her day has been. The staff are supportive, caring and approachable with a friendly manner. The activitives available for the tots are fab along with having access to the app for
photos throughout the day. We’re so glad we chose this nursery.

My granddaughter started nursery in September. I was so worried if she would settle in but she has settled down so well thanks to the staff there. I go to work with peace of mind that she is well looked after by the professional staff there. She has come on really well. I am hoping she stops there until
she starts school. Thank you so much.

Great nursery. Our boy is coming along great.
Only negative is around fees. When we went from 15 to 30 hours free, we still paid just as much because of the way you attribute free hours.

The staff are absolutely lovely and have taken great care of our daughter ever since going to nursery as a baby several years ago. They regularly post photos via the app to let us know what they’re up to and the kids are always involved in fun activities. I’d recommend them without hesitation.

My son has attended the nursery since September 2018. I was apprehensive about putting him in nursery as he was only 18 months old and wasn't sure if he was too young but I wanted some help trying to bring him out of his shell. And since that day I have never looked back. I love how he is cared for
there and he has a special little bond with many of his workers. He happily runs into nursery most days and when I collect him it's clearly written all over his face that he has had a great day. Thank you to everyone who helps brighten my boy's days.

Lovely welcoming nursery, great hands-on, kind and caring staff. Lots of patience and planning for my son's additional needs. He's come on lots since starting here, and is showing clear attachments to his key worker and certain staff members. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely love this nursery. Was a little nervous when Kids Planet took over the initial nursery, but the staff make the nursery not the name.
They have nothing but the child’s best interests and have been helpful when it came to a change in circumstances. One of my daughters attend this nursery
at the moment and my 2nd daughter will be attending soon.

Thus nursery goes above what is expected, they made me feel happy to leave my son with them with no worries about his needs. They make sure he manages to eat something, my son feels happy and safe here with no problems going in. They are happy to listen to your questions and will answer you to put you
at ease. We have a parent app, which is great, so I get to see what my child is doing and eating etc. I have found the staff to be welcoming and friendly and my son smiles at them which says it all to me. If your child has needs they are happy to listen and make sure they have what they need at nursery too. Very happy and highly recommended.

My son attends Kids Planet Little Lever for his preschool year. I have always found the staff very friendly and supportive. My son can be a fussy eater but always loved the meals prepared for him. The pre-school room is well led and is always clean. I have always had complete confidence when dropping
my son off the day, that he is safe and well looked after. Many thanks to you all, you all work very hard.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.928)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.928) 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 4.9 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.928 for Kids Planet Little Lever is calculated as follows: ( (261 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.928
  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 23 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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8, which has been reached with 23 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.
