Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended Kids Planet formally Jelly Babies since she was around 8-months-old.
I chose this nursery as my son also spent time here, I have always liked the fact that there is a more mature nursery teacher in each room with lots of experience as well as the younger teachers. This put
my mind at ease when leaving my child. I think Kids Planet is a brilliant nursery, each room is well equipped to a high standard for the children to learn and interact. My daughter loves to come here she has made lots of friends. She always asks can her nursery teachers come to our house for tea so they must be doing an excellent job. My daughter loves going swimming with nursery I think it’s brilliant that they offer this as an extra activity when they reach a certain age. The staff have always been lovely to us, any issues or queries I’ve had always dealt with brilliantly I can’t thank the staff enough for giving my daughter a brilliant and happy loving start to her life.

The best nursery ever!
Everyone who works there are so nice and my child loves everyone to! My child is so clever for his age and I believe this is partly because of how good his nursery is! Every day he has so much fun and I am going to be sad when he leaves for pre-school! My son always has good
dinner sometimes food I wouldn’t ever think of trying him with!
I feel comfortable dropping my son off knowing he is with staff who generally love their job and the children they look after!
Thank you.

I can't express how much this nursery has done for our daughter - they go above and beyond, week in week out. It's a joy to be part of such a fantastic place - thank you.

My daughter was very apprehensive and upset the first few times we left her but, the more she goes, the more she enjoys it and now doesn't want to leave. The staff are friendly and fantastic with her, especially her key worker and her speech is coming on great.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended this nursery since being 8 months old and is now almost 3 years old. There has never been a day she hasn't wanted to go or cried to be left, she has enjoyed every day she has been there and even asks to go at weekends. The staff have had my trust from day 1 and have never broken
it and I believe my daughter is looked after to the best standard possible. I would highly recommend this nursery, all staff are professional, friendly, helpful and always approachable.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My youngest daughter recently started this amazing nursery and having an older child and this being her 2nd nursery I have been to several previously that do not compare. I love the security of this building 2 locked doors before I get near her, helpful staff when I forget the combination (Sorry). I
love the outdoor space, the inclusiveness for children with disabilities, but my favourite thing is the online stuff I get to see photos progress updates, what areas she is hitting what areas she is working towards, lovely photos.


This nursery seems to genuinely care about the children has helped educate me on what they do all day, I didn't realise how much they learned I thought it was just a place for them to play, and I have rated them as excellent in every option


I'd like to say a big thanks to all the staff - I am still getting to know them but they have all been helpful, professional and my daughter loves them so they must be fantastic with her.
Thank you Kids Planet Day Nursery

Review from Zoe (Mother of Child) published on 20 June 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my children have attended this nursery since they were 9 months old. They've both loved their experiences here.
The setting is very inclusive, well set out, safe and fully equipped. The staff are welcoming, experienced and friendly.
The staff work closely with parents to give the children
the best experience possible. For example, my son has learning and communication issues and the staff and management have done everything they can to facilitate his learning; by training in Singalong, utilising the tools provided monthly by Speech and Language professionals and other education professionals.
The yearly nativity is always wonderful, so much work goes into it. The children also have the opportunity to attend Forest school, learn Spanish, dance and swimming, among other things. The nursery team work really hard to make the children's time at nursery fun and engaging one, whether they are there full-time or part-time.
I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Both my children have attended here. The staff are fantastic and have been established here for quite some time. The nursery is safe and I have complete trust in the judgement of the staff who have nurtured and helped develop the social skills of the children. The nursery is inclusive and caters for
children with disabilities which is fantastic for all children, they offer additional classes such as swimming and forest school and they support the child when transitioning to school. Worth every penny.

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.
