Review from J H (Mother of Child) published on 10 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one has been attending since September 2024. I visited a few Nurseries prior to applying to this one and none of them was as good as Kids Planet. The facial recognition and finger print access gives you so much confidence with the safety provided to your baby. Since joining, all the staff
have been incredible and so helpful, even staff that arent in your baby's room. The staff in the office are also amazing, theres always someone there to help and they will go the extra mile for you when needed. I cannot recommend this Nursery enough. If youre thinking about sending your child/ren here, dont hesitate, just do it!

Excellent nursery, staff in my child's room are all lovely and listen to my preferences for my child. The nursery manager is also lovely. Everybody is always smiling. I know that my child is being well looked after, and I love that they update the app regularly throughout the day.

Both my children have attended this nursery (since Clockwork) and I couldn't recommend it enough. We feel they're part of our family now, the staff are so caring, and both my children have progressed leaps and bounds while attending here. Will be a sad day when our youngest leaves, no better nursery
around Tameside!

My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 10 months old all the way through to now at 11 years old. The holiday club has always been brilliant. The staff are amazing and I seriously couldn't thank them enough for all of their wonderful support. I love the home-from-home. Skills my daughter
has picked up supporting me in getting her an EHCP. The nursery has always been a warm and friendly welcoming environment. My daughter has met some amazing friends especially one who has been friends since the very start of meeting at nursery. Thank you so much. Keep doing what you're doing.

This is the best nursery in the Tameside area. The staff are fantastic and treat the children like their own, the bond they have with the children is amazing. I can go to work knowing my child is safe and all of their needs are met. They offer great advice on parenting and children's development. My
child has come on leaps and bounds due to this nursery. I can't thank you all enough.

Best private nursery in Tameside, my little boy has loved it here, every staff member is so lovely, even the office staff make such an effort with all the kids and parents.
Shout out to the staff who are in pre-school 1, my little boy loves them both so much and so do I. We're going to miss them so
much.
Thank you for treating my son like your own, I can't tell you how easy you made my experience of leaving my pride and joy in the care of someone else and he's come on so much since starting in January.

My wife and I can't speak highly enough of Kids Planet Ashton.
Our son loved his time here and we were always safe in the knowledge, that he was very well looked after by attentive but personable staff.
He will miss his time here, as will we.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.665)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.665) out of 10 for Kids Planet Ashton 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 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 4.886 for Kids Planet Ashton is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.886
  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 4.779 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Ashton is based on 19 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 122 number of registered child places is 24.4. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 24.4 = 0.779
  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.
