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!!

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.
Reply from Kids Planet Team at Kids Planet Christie FieldsThank you for your thoughtful review! We're so pleased your boys feel at home with us, and it's great to hear the team's support has made a real difference to your experience.

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
Reply from Kids Planet Team at Kids Planet Christie FieldsThank you for your lovely feedback! We're so glad you're happy with the care and environment-your suggestion on breakfast options is really helpful and will be passed on to the team.

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.

Reply from Kids Planet Team at Kids Planet Christie FieldsThank you for such a wonderful review! We're so happy to hear how much your children enjoy their time with us-it's a joy to watch them grow and explore. Your kind words mean the world to us.

Review from Qasim A (Father of Child) published on 25 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my daughters have been here for nearly a year now and I can honestly say our experience has been amazing. The girls have been in a total of five rooms now since being here. The development, level of care and attitude of the staff in every one of those rooms has been exemplary. The staff show
a level of care and interest in the kids and treat all of them like individuals. For example one of my daughters can be a fussy eater. Whenever she refuses lunch she is always offered an alternative (like a cheese sandwich) which they know she will happily eat and stay satiated. A few times during room transitions when the girls have been a little unsettled at drop off time, the staff will keep us updated throughout the day and send pictures on the app of the girls once settled and having a good time which immediately puts us at ease.

Really caring and thoughtful staff. Excellent support from SENCO. My son was physically weak at climbing and crawling when he started nursery, and with all the work the staff have put in he is at the same level as all his peers. He loves the food and is really close with the staff who are really attentive
and update me every day when I come to collect him with how his day went.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been very impressed by the standard of care that Kids Planet have shown both of my daughters (one has graduated and one is currently at Kids Planet). At each stage of their development they are taught relevant topics and feedback is given to the parents through the app so that it is very easy
to see how my daughter is developing during her time there. The facilities are top class and the range of tours/visits that the children are taken on during the year is very impressive. I am very thankful to the staff and management at Kids Planet for the care and attention they show every day.

My son has been attending this nursery since he was one and I have never regretted my decision to choose Christie Fields. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly, and genuinely care about his health, wellbeing and development. He loves going there and has made some really great friends. I love
being kept up to date via the app too - it makes my day to receive pictures of him having fun with his friends. I'll be sad when he has to leave to go to school, but I'll know his experience at Christie Fields has set him up to thrive.

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.
