My son has been attending Kids Planet Christie Fields since he was a baby. The staff have been wonderful! They make my son and myself so welcome. The care and love given to my son really does show from his happy face when I come to collect him. The management team are always so welcoming and approachable
and if I have ever had any concerns they are dealt with efficiently. I will definitely recommend this nursery to family and friends.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started here in February 2024. I couldn't have asked for a better start for her. She didn't settle straight away and the baby room team did everything possible to accommodate and help her settle. She has since moved to Woddlers and the transition has been seamless. We do miss our baby room
staff! The updates on the app daily really make my day, seeing just how much fun she is having and learning each day. The final thing about this place is the flexibility and helpfulness of the reception, go above and beyond!

I love that each month there are different activities and special days for all of the children to join in with. My daughter adores being at nursery and looks forward to going every day. I couldn't be happier with how the nursery is run and what they do for my child. Highly recommend.

Our son had an excellent time during his early years passing through babies, woddlers and toddlers. All the staff have been really caring and kind. He formed a really nice connection with his keyworker especially. I am sure he will miss coming here. There's a fantastic set-up at Christie Fields, all
the staff doing an amazing job. Really good activities for the children both indoor and outdoor and excellent food.

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!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!
Reply from Kids Planet Team at Kids Planet Christie FieldsThank you for your kind words. The Christie Fields team are more than happy to help. We are delighted your little boy is having the best experience at 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.

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.
