Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Review from B B (Father of Child) published on 14 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
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.

My daughter started in September 2023 in baby two room. I would like to share my experience of the nursery. My daughter struggled to settle in at first, as this is her first time in nursery. The staff, particularly two specific staff members, have been amazing during this time and have made such an
effort and time to bond with my daughter and she is now really settled and loves coming to nursery. It puts my mind at ease every time I drop off and I couldn't be more appreciative. Thank you to all the staff.

My son has settled into baby room so well, his key worker and other staff members are amazing with him. He gets so much attention, time and care. They go out for walks in the community, out in the gardens, plenty of messy play. He eats well which is another bonus as I struggled to find a decent menu
at other child care providers, I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

I couldn’t rate this nursery highly enough. Both my sons love coming here, and the rising 3s are brilliant with both of my children. The management team have also been amazing with me and the boys. The manager is always around to say hello to the point my son even brings her flowers and runs to give
her cuddles, as he’s used to seeing her.

We absolutely love Kids Allowed Christie Fields! Both our children attend here (in the baby room and preschool). The whole team are wonderful; they really care about the children and are always so positive. They carry out a wide range of stimulating activities: messy play, outdoor trips and even Spanish
class! We get so many lovely updates about their day and their progress. The management team are fantastic. The nursery is very flexible and lets you swap days/book extra sessions. We would highly recommend it!

I have been using Kids Allowed for over three years and both my sons currently attend. I never have any worries about my boys when they are in the nursery as I know they are so well looked after. The nursery is clean and organised with friendly staff who genuinely care about your kids. Each day is structured
with different activities and a great selection of food it offered each week. The outside space for each room is a real highlight of this nursery. Recently they have started doing more trips outside which my older son loves and it really sets them up for entering primary school with confidence. I would have no reservations about recommending Kids Allowed to any parents.

Really happy with our son's nursery. All the staff are lovely and brilliant and he loves going in and taking part in all the activities. He has loads of fun getting messy and they do loads of activities to help his development too. The facilities are good too, inside and outside space and lots of areas,
equipment and toys. Also brilliant that they go on little field trips sometimes to mix it up when the weather is nice.

My wife and I had looked around many other local nurseries. Kids Allowed seemed so much bigger with lots of additional space and toys. I felt so at ease with the Parent Zone app being able to catch up on the daily events. I can't fault the staff they have all been so reassuring, friendly and knowledgeable.

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.
