Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Kids Planet Heywood for 4 months now. All the staff are very welcoming and friendly. They were very helpful with the settling-in sessions. They keep me updated on photos of my child and the meals he has eaten. My son really enjoys nursery and has settled in very well. A highly
recommended nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My kids have been coming to the nursery for over a year now. They have both come on so much with speaking and eating. They always come home full of mud or paint or glue so I know they've had a good day. Staff are always friendly and will help if you need a hand. I like seeing the updates on the app
of how the day is going.

Review from Rebecca P (Mother of Child) published on 13 June 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my children have attended this nursery, from Daisy Chains and from being Kids Planet. From the initial sign up, everything has been amazing. The baby room is just beautiful, clean, always smells lovely and the staff are a constant. The staff in the baby room have been a massive part of both
children's early years and they've treated both children with so much love and care.
My elder child went into the older room and again was taken care of by fantastic aunties (staff). Parents' evenings have taught me about my children's progress and the curriculum the nursery follows. It's always heartwarming to see the extensive activities that the children get up to and I'm impressed with the trips they have outside the nursery; library, church and local supermarket.
Management have always been great and the new manager is a dream - very approachable, very proactive and genuinely interested in the wellbeing of my children. We will be sad to leave - thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.920)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.920) out of 10 for Kids Planet Heywood is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.920 for Kids Planet Heywood is calculated as follows: ( (278 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.92
  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 Heywood is based on 25 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 66 number of registered child places is 13.2, which has been reached with 25 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.
