The nursery is lovely. The rooms are well thought out with nice zones and toys for the children, well organised and well kept. The staff are all so warm and welcoming and do a fantastic job. The staff are compassionate, professional and dedicated. My daughter loves going to the nursery which is the
best feeling for me.

Our little girl has been attending Kids Planet Denton since she was around 7 months and she loves it! The staff are so genuine and caring, always going above and beyond. They really do treat the children like their own. The management team are also amazing! Always happy to accommodate when we need to
change our bookings and they are so approachable which helped massively especially when we had all the normal parenting worries that you have when joining a nursery. Cannot fault them, we are so happy we chose to send our daughter to this nursery.

My daughter has loved her time here and is now much more confident in herself and goes in happy every day. The lovely staff helped her settle in and she has bonded so well with them, she talks about them at home constantly.
Always learning new things and enjoying herself shown with the pictures the
staff upload to keep you updated. Great menu for the children every day too.
Highly recommended :)

I was very hesitant to put my little boy in nursery because he can't talk to me about his day just yet but a lot of people has told me how good kids planet Denton is and how amazing the staff are so I decided to put him in 3 days a week while working to see how he gets on and I can honestly say he's
ran through the doors of nursery every time he's there because he loves it that much! I'm so pleased with how the well the staff has looked after him and how comfortable they have made him while he's there! Constant updates and to be told how he's got on during the day when we pick him up is amazing! Highly recommended to anyone who is thinking about using this Denton nursey

Review from R M (Mother of Child) published on 10 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son really enjoyed coming here, albeit it took him a few weeks to settle but that's because he didn't start till he was 2 ( gov fund scheme.)He was only ever used to me or his dad.
All Staff made him feel welcome, and his key worker. He found his way to her and she then became his key worker.
Unfortunately
his time came to an end but he has said he will miss his friends and staff ( did say their names). He will eat most things and I think that is mostly down to the exceptional menu they have to offer.

Review from Hayley A (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son recently started at Kids Planet Denton and has settled amazingly well. This is greatly down to the staff who are all so friendly and attentive, from early morning drop-offs to pickups you are always greeted with a smile.
The whole process from application to settling in sessions and starting
is so well organised it makes a daunting process really straightforward. I am so grateful that I have been able to return to work confident that my son is happy, content and well taken care of. Updates via the app throughout the day provide extra peace of mind.
Thank you to all at Kids Planet, especially to two particular staff members in the baby room for making a first-time mum feel reassured that her baby is in good hands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been there since he was 9 months and the nursery was called Teddy Bears. We loved it there and we continue to do so.
The staff, the other kids and parents.
He is now leaving as he will start reception and he will miss nursery.
He bonded very well with all the kids and staff and seeing
his joy while there was amazing.
I loved it's a sugar-free nursery and I've seen a lot of improvement since becoming a Kids Planet nursery.
The essence of the nursery hasn't changed, but there were improvements and investments there.
They are very open to conversations and to accommodate requests where possible.

My little girl absolutely loves Kids Planet Denton, we took her out to attend a new setting due to work change and put her back in Kids Planet due to the level of care they provide for the children, they go above and beyond for my little girl and I couldn't be any happier with the informative app, collections
and reports we receive, it's outstanding!

My son has been going to this nursery since he was 8 months old and is now nearly 3 years old, we viewed lots of nurseries and the minute we walked into this one we knew it was the right choice for us. They are his second family and look after him so well and he's created such great bonds with all his
nursery nurses. The chef makes the nutritional varied meals each day and they communicate via an app throughout the day. I genuinely believe they have been a massive part in growing the qualities and personality he has today. Thank you so much to everyone at Kids Planet Denton.

My child has been attending this nursery since last September. I have nothing but praise for this nursery and all the staff that work there. They are all very caring and kind towards my child. When my child's reception teacher came to see my child in this setting he said he has been to many nurseries
and this was one of the best he has been to. It's very clean and tidy and my child is always kept busy with lots of different activities including messy play and outdoor play. My child is very fussy with his food but the nursery have always been very accommodating with this. I would highly recommend to everyone wanting a loving and caring setting for their child!

We love Kids Planet Denton. Our little girl has come on leaps and bounds with her speech and development since going there. Staff are always kind and friendly and so hard working. She comes home happy and tells us all about her day. They are brilliant if she ever needs tweaks to her day or care, they
always take our wishes into account. She has great relationships with her key workers. They are so child-led and I love that the kids can get messy and have fun. We are so happy with this nursery!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.671)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.671) out of 10 for Kids Planet Denton 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 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 Denton is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 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 4.743 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Denton is based on 15 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 101 number of registered child places is 20.2. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.2 = 0.743
  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.
