Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a parent, I am always thrilled to send my child to this nursery. I am content that my child is in a thriving environment where she is able to learn and grow with fuller potential. All of the promises made are being fulfilled with utmost professionalism. I love my child's key worker and all the other
staff members in the room who are working are professional and qualified, which makes my mind at ease knowing that my child is being left in safe hands.

The team at Kids Allowed are incredible - they make my son feel so welcome. Each day has a fantastic mix of group activities, games, one-on-one time and, of course, mealtime! They are respectful to us as parents, making it clear about nursery policy whilst still being human and empathetic (which is
not always easy!) Each team member is allowed to bring their own take to activities which gives great diversity to each day - I couldn’t be happier with our experience!

We love Christie Fields! Our little boy started when he was 8 months old, and the care that he received as a baby was amazing. He’s now progressed to Woddlers and loves it there too!
The staff are brilliant, the setting is so impressive, and the food is clearly delicious because he eats almost everything
he’s given (unlike at home!). We get updates and pictures all throughout the day, and the staff make time for all parents at drop-off and pick-up.
The reception staff are also really friendly and helpful.
So glad we found this nursery!

My son attends Kids Allowed Christie Fields and we absolutely love it and so does he! He is always happy to go to nursery and even speaks about the staff at home. The staff are always there to speak to and listen, they always show love and care with everything they do! The outdoor spaces are amazing
as each room has their own individual garden space to use. The updates on the parent app are always so nice and activities look always thought-out and he learns so much! I would recommend this nursery.

The staff in Woddler 2 have allowed my daughter to settle in well. They have followed her lead and encouraged her development. They have listened to my wishes and ensured my daughter's comfort. There have been different staff since she started in the summer, but all seem professional.

The nursery has been wonderful for our child. The whole team are so caring, kind and supportive and from the moment we arrive each day there is such a welcoming feel from everyone we see. It seems like everybody there knows our child and this is not really reassuring for us but means he is happy and
confident there every day. The range of activities on offer is excellent - there are lots of trips out and the resources used are all excellent quality too. There is also no sign of a fussy eater when our child is there, he eats a brilliant range of versatile, hearty and diverse meals which is great! We couldn't be more happy with our experience here!

All the staff I have been in contact with have been knowledgeable, professional, friendly and very approachable. If ever I have any concerns, they are dealt with efficiently. I would definitely recommend the nursery to anyone thinking about putting their children here. They are safe, cared for and treated
as individuals.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The nursery is extremely good in a number of ways, but still with room for improvement considering the price you pay. Our daughter loves going here and she is hugely supported by the staff. Her key worker is fantastic, understands our child inside out and is extremely good with her. Her development
has come on leaps and bounds. The nursery is good, with lovely rooms and the staff put a lot of effort into activities and play. In the summer in particular the children are taken out on day trips weekly and the staff do their best with the limited budgets they have. Overall the nursery is good, however, the price is equally extremely high comparing it to other nurseries in the area, with regular price increases still happening. Although we like the nursery a lot, for the money you pay you would expect as a minimum what they provide.

My daughter has had a very happy experience at Christie Fields for the last two years. She has been well supported by all staff and made many friends. She enjoys the activities and trips. She has always made excellent progress with support from carers. She even asks to go to day care on weekends. We
are very happy she attends this day care centre.

Review from Sarah P (Mother of Child) published on 28 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Well managed, happy and caring nursery. We’ve used the nursery for 4 years. Our eldest is now at school and attended from 1-4 years old. We have another 1 year old who is thriving there. We have seen the amazing improvements the manager brought in when she began her role here a year or so ago; the nursery
feels like a really strong and successful place. She has created such a competent calm place to be, every day you go in the staff are enthusiastic, know your child inside out, and the experience and stability this brings has made a huge difference. My eldest went on dozens of trips when in nursery prep school this was such a lovely time for him, and having him organise these as part of his role has really enhanced the children’s experience. We trust the staff to babysit outside of their nursery job roles, as they know our children so well. The catering is great and the meals healthy and tasty, and there’s plenty for hungry eaters. There are always fruit platters in reception too!

My daughter has been attending the nursery for 10 months now. She settled in very easily and goes in with enthusiasm everyday. The staff are friendly, hard working and set up frequent activities to assist with her development. She has regular access to outdoor spaces and they go on regular outings too.The
food is varied and nutritious. I am very happy we chose the nursery and I am confident in their ability to continue nurturing her development.

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.
