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.

Really good experience at nursery with my daughter moving into Toddler 1. She has settled really well with two members of staff in particular and formed really strong bonds. She is developing really well and we couldn't be happier with how things are going.

I couldn't be happier with the team in Toddler 1 and the whole Christie Fields team in general. My little one has been so well cared for since the very first time we set foot in the building. I've never had cause to complain and have never doubted my decision to bring him here.
Thank you all for the
many hugs and cuddles for my little man! You're absolute stars!!

Review from J C (Mother of Child) published on 2 May 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our boys love nursery - they each have the most incredible bond with their keyworker, and that's a real testament to the effort these members of staff have put in to making the boys feel at ease and relaxed in their settings.
We have had our challenges in navigating the childcare rules, regulations
& restrictions. However, the openness & availability of the senior management team have been an incredible support in making difficult events more manageable. The changes in management & leadership over the last year have been only for the better & I would recommend a chat with the managers where any concerns arise.

Rising 3's - Can't fault the staff they seem to genuinely adore the children.
Room big & spacious with lovely terrace.
Only potential improvement would be more options at breakfast ie toast, porride like in Woddlers

Kids Planet Christie Fields is such a warm, welcoming nursery with a real family feel. The staff are incredibly caring and genuinely support each child, encouraging them to explore new opportunities and grow with confidence.


Every day is packed with fun, engaging, and educational activities that

keep the children excited and curious. One of the things I love most is how often they take the children on local trips - it really helps spark their sense of wonder about the world around them.


You can truly see how well looked after and happy the children are. It's a special place and wouldn't send my children anywhere else.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.836)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.836) 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 56 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 56 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 4.836 for Kids Planet Christie Fields is calculated as follows: ( (569 Excellents x 5) + (94 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 671 Ratings = 4.836
  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 Christie Fields is based on 56 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 245 number of registered child places is 49, which has been reached with 56 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.
