Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have found this nursery to be very helpful and understanding. My child has progressed from the baby room to toddler room with a significant improvement of all skills, which is simply down to the highly skilled staff. I wouldn't hesitate to admit future children here and would highly recommend it to
all family and friends. Keep up the hard work!

We have had a very good experience and have seen how much care and time is given to each child. We have seen the development in Zoraiz all down to the efforts of nursery staff. I would recommend this nursery to friends and family. I would describe the nursery as excellent, hardworking, caring, friendly
with excellent communication.

Choosing Kids Planet was the best decision we made for our child. The balance between structured learning and free play is perfect. I've been so impressed with the variety of activities, from arts and crafts to outdoor play in their great outdoor space.


Safety and hygiene are clearly a top priority,

which gave us immediate confidence. The management team is very professional and approachable, always happy to answer questions or address any concerns. If you're looking for a nursery that feels like a home away from home, this is it.

My son joined this nursery in January and he really loves it. The staff have been amazing, he has settled really well and get excited at drop off when he sees all his friends. They do lots of activities. He has come in lots since starting, now being able to use a spoon and fork independently. The nursery
do lots of fun seasonal activities and the food is great. Highly recommend.

Our experience of Kids Planet Christie Fields has been fantastic. The staff are incredibly warm, caring and attentive. We get multiple updates and photographs each day to let us know what our son has been doing. The food provided is varied and very nutritional. The children have daily activities which

Fantastic, the staff are all amazing. My child did not settle at all when she first started, but all the staff were amazing with her, measured me she would settle and updated me with her progress. Within a month, she was comfortable and settled and she now loves nursery, she even speaks about staff
& nursery friends at home! I would recommend this nursery to anyone. No words can describe how amazing they all are. P.S. My daughter is now speaking, eating & learning so much better than before. Huge thank you.

Kids Planet have been fantastic for the last two years my little boy has attended. The staff in each room at Christie Fields (Manchester) have been so kind and caring. They always have educational and fun activities for my little boy to do. The outdoor area is big and he enjoys playing outside. Communication
is brilliant and I would recommend the nursery to any parents. Staff are brilliant and so lovely, I've always felt happy & my little boy is in safe hands.

We love the nursery! Two particular staff members and the Waddler Team are amazing. Our son wakes up so excited on his days and is very happy. He comes home with so many new songs and new great habits, it's great to see how quickly he has developed since being here.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.806)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.806) out of 10 for Kids Planet Christie Fields is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 47 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 47 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 4.847 for Kids Planet Christie Fields is calculated as follows: ( (482 Excellents x 5) + (76 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 563 Ratings = 4.847
  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 4.959 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Christie Fields is based on 47 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 245 number of registered child places is 49. 47 Positive Reviews ÷ 49 = 0.959
  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.
