Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Couldn't be happier with picking this nursery for my first & only child! He has been coming since 9 month old for twice a week he is now 18 months old and to see his confidence and cheeky personality shine through is good to see. All the staff are so friendly and helpful and I know they adore my little
one & I know he looks forward to seeing them and going into nursery he just walks through the door without a care in the world! I feel reassured he is safe and well looked after and have no complaints at all xx

I couldn’t be any happier how my daughter has settled into her nursery. Before she started she wouldn’t go to anybody she doesn’t know. Now her confidence is so much better, she does things at nursery she doesn’t even do at home!! She’s coming on more and more every day, I’m so happy!

My daughter has been attending this nursery for 4 months now, I am so happy with how much progress she's made since joining here. I would encourage anyone to join this nursery due to its excellent facilities and staff.


My child has done a variety of different activities here, she's even been on her

first proper day trip which she really enjoyed. The staff and management team are really helpful and organised, the whole place is always safe, clean and tidy. The children are always well looked after.


I love how this nursery has an app for parents to view their child's day to day progress and photographs. There is also now an option that allows parents to buy any of the photographs that the staff have taken of their children. I think this is a fantastic thing to have, I've never experienced anything like this at any other of the nurseries.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough, I struggled with my child settling in at first since she was so clingy to me but due to the staff members' continued support for both myself and my child she managed to settle in, and very quickly she became extremely fond of going to nursery. The staff have always
been great and always listened to any concerns I had regarding my child, they are all extremely friendly and caring and seeing how my child has progressed over the years by watching videos and seeing pictures is just an extra bonus!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter was at this nursery 6 years ago, and the fact that I’ve trusted them to care for the new baby says it all.
The level of care provided is excellent, and my daughter loves the staff there. It makes it slightly easier leaving her because I know that she is going to be shown affection and
looked after to a high standard whilst she is away from me. The baby room is so big, and there’s a separate outdoor area for them. There’s an app which you can see little photographs and videos as well as updates on how your child is. Cannot recommend it enough!

I think this is an amazing nursery my daughter loves it. She can't wait to go every morning. When she's not in she's upset.


The staff are very welcoming and pleasant. And the environment and play areas are well tidy.

This nursery and the team go above and beyond to cater for our grandchild's needs. Each child is an individual. The team teach, care for and encourage. We feel very welcomed and the team always make time. We are not from the area and travel up to an hour to get there, this shows just how pleased we
are with the care and the progress that our grandchild makes.

Review from Elizabeth S (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fisherfield managers and staff are both caring and accommodating.
I feel my child is cared for to a standard that I would care for him myself. My partner and I are raising our son to be kind and empathetic and this is what I get from his key workers and the nursery manager consistently. As my partner
works away, I am regularly stuck for childcare and the nursery is always happy to remain flexible and really has the parent and child in mind always. The food provided is of a high standard and freshly cooked on site to provide variety and balance.


The nursery is always immaculately clean and the children are kept safe, warm and clean while still being allowed to explore and learn through play. The nursery also go above and beyond throwing lovely seasonal and inclusive parties and organising events that enrich my son's experience. Thank you to you all, you really are amazing.

Review from Julie (Grandmother of Child) published on 22 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our two-year-old child came to this nursery after his previous nursery had said they could no longer cope with his behaviour/additional needs. From the start, this nurseries attitude to our child's difficulties was very different to what we had experienced previously and they dealt with the incidents
in a calm and practical manner. They quickly got to understand our child and identify strategies that really helped him and he is a much calmer and happier child since attending the nursery. The nursery is clean and well equipped with an excellent outdoor space that the child can access most of the time. The staff are all professional and friendly and treat the children with kindness and patience, plus the feedback about our child's day is very good with lots of anecdotes about what he has been doing.

My son started nursery at 8 months and he's enjoyed it since! The staff are caring, friendly and professional at all times. At drop off and pick up time the atmosphere is lovely, very relaxed and calm. My son is looked after well and all his needs are met.
The activities set out are always fantastic
it shows a great deal of planning next steps and meeting targets for each child. I'm very happy.

Since my child has started at nursery she has progressed so much. I was concerned with her speech before she started at nursery but her talking and social skills have come on so much! She looks forward to coming to nursery and there are no issues with dropping her off there.

My son has attended this nursery for almost three years now. Initially, like many children, he would get upset upon arrival. This gave me doubts about the nursery, however, I couldn't be happier that we kept him here! Now he is older it is clear he loves it, he has a great time and gets the opportunity
to experience many things with this nursery. The staff have been supportive all the way! I can't thank them enough!

The nursery is very good and my child has been going there since she was 11 months. My 2-year-old enjoys being in the nursery. She has learnt a lot and is very enthusiastic about going to nursery. She loves the food and the play facilities, especially the outdoor area. She has grasped the routine and
is very keen to learn more. Her speech has come on so much as she is currently being toilet trained.

Both my children have been to this nursery. The care and education are outstanding.


All the staff are amazing and you can see the children all care for the staff the way the staff care about them.


I feel that I can talk easily to the staff and any minor issues with my child are sorted. I have

a very good rapport with the staff - some who I have known a long time, with having 2 children go there.


I would highly recommend the nursery as the children's welfare is number 1 priority.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.098)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.098) out of 10 for Kids Planet Dorset Drive 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Kids Planet Dorset Drive is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.098 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Dorset Drive is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 51 number of registered child places is 10.2. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.2 = 0.098
  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.
