A really lovely nursery, the staff are just so friendly and engaging, communication is excellent with continuous app updates throughout the session on what your child is doing, has eaten, slept, played, nappy changes.
The nursery is a warm, stimulating environment with amazing outdoor space and resources
for the kids. I love seeing the fun activities my daughter has taken part in throughout the day. It's lovely the children can spend so much time outdoors when the weather is nice.
My daughter adores all of the girls here. They really are more like friends, if you're looking for a nursery where the staff genuinly care and create a loving bond with your little one, I'd 100% recommend this place.

My son absolutely loves going to Kids Planet, Eccles. He runs in every morning and cannot wait to get started on his fun-filled day. The nursery staff have been outstanding during Covid-19. He has been in attendance throughout as I am a key worker and their attention, diligence and commitment have been
unwavering. All the staff feel like an extension of our family and make you feel that he is their number one priority. It's a welcoming, fun and adventure seeking environment whilst maintaining a structured and developmental setting.

We are extremely happy with how well our daughter has settled into the nursery. All the staff members have been very welcoming and genuinely care about the children. The staff provide various fun activities for the children and I can see what she has been up to with the online learning journals. My
daughter loves coming to nursery and I would definitely recommend this nursery.

My child has been attending Nutkins Nursery now for around 3 years. She absolutely loves the structured activities within the Owls room, with the added bonus of having a qualified teacher. I love hearing all the different stories of what she has done throughout the day. I would 100% recommend Nutkins
NUrsery to anybody who asks.

As a parent, all you want is your child to be happy ... Nutkins Nursery go above and beyond this. Since my daughter started in 2018, the care and education she has received has been excellent. The staff have always ensured that she and her friends are well looked after. From the team leader in Butterflies,
the team leader in Caterpillars, the team leader in Cygnets and now the team leader in Swans, and all their teams have been great in ensuring that she has the best care and is happy. I never see her not want to go to nursery! Thank you Nutkins!

Review from Gill (Mother of Child) published on 20 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When we came to look around, I was immediately struck by the friendly and happy atmosphere at Nutkins and that's been consistent for the year that my little boy has been attending. The staff are wonderful and really take the time to get to know each child individually, any changes in behaviour are
quickly spotted and we receive a report at the end of each day, also the online portal to track development is a really helpful tool.
It's hugely reassuring dropping my son off each day knowing that he's comfortable in a safe, happy environment where development is encouraged in fun, creative ways.

Review from Eva C (Mother of Child) published on 25 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Staff are extremely friendly and everyone knows my little boy. They are all friendly to the parents too. My little boy loves going to nursery and playing with other kids. Key workers are very approachable and inform you what they have done during the day, and what they have eaten, bowel movement and
sleeps. Outdoor space is really good and there's lots to do inside. They are good when little ones aren't themselves and know what they are doing. Lots of staff have been there a long time and are motivated. I would recommend this nursery to others. They are flexible if we also need to go in more days on short notice.

My son moved to this nursery almost a year ago from an 'inadequate' nursery. The change in him has been immense! He has grown in confidence and knowledge. The staff are nurturing, caring and approachable. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

Nutkins Nursery is like a home from home for my daughter. She gets excited to go, and that's due to the nursery's hard work at developing the children in a fun way.
Nutkins offers my daughter social fun, good structure and a secure place to develop.

Excellent nursery, they provide outstanding care for our son. Always clean and tidy. Food is excellent with fantastic choices and my son always cleans his plate. Kids are always playing outdoors and are always happy. By far the best thing about Nutkins is the staff. They all know my son, even when he's
not in their class. All staff are friendly, caring, energetic and enthusiastic. I feel this caring nature makes it a home from home for our son.

My daughter started in the baby room. The staff have settled her in and put my mind at ease! She always has big smiles for the girls in the room. She comes home with paint between her toes after doing lots of fun creative activities. Great work Nutkins! Keep it up - you are great.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.635)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.635) out of 10 for Kids Planet Eccles is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 6 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 4.722 for Kids Planet Eccles is calculated as follows: ( (54 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.722
  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 3.913 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Eccles is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.313
  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.
