Review from Sev S (Mother of Child) published on 8 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended nursery since the age of one whilst being very anxious at leaving him for the first time the staff were great! I was suddenly at ease with the EyLog system the nursery uses as both my husband and I would get regular updates and photographs of how our son was getting on during the
day. He has come on leaps on bounds since attending nursery. I would highly recommend Fledglings to anyone looking for a nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fledglings nursery is an excellent nursery all staff are very friendly and welcoming, they teach them lots of new things each day, my daughter has been going for 3 yrs and has loved every minute there, there is always lots of activities for the children to do and also lots of parent/grandparents days
so we can get involved as well! The new elog is also a great idea it's nice to see how my daughter is doing during the day and lots of pictures sent! It's nice that the management staff also get involved with the children and know every single child's name. They are very understanding and always ready to help with anything if I need it! The food is always nice and healthy and plenty of snacks on offer (my daughter has second helpings every time so she definitely enjoys the food)!

Many thanks for such a lovely review Louise! We have loved seeing your daughter progress and develop into a lovely young lady. She will be missed as she goes into school.

My son has been attending Fledglings in Stretford for about 2 years and he absolutely loves it. He loves the staff and enjoys all activities from dancing to swimming. Thanks to all staff who have helped raise my baby into a smart and loving little boy.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at Fledglings since she was 11 months old and now she is 4 1/2 and is due to leave in the summer. Fledglings has a special place in her life and mine; Fledglings has given my daughter the best foundations to be a social and independent child. The staff are fantastic, very supportive
and are willing to help in any way possible.

Review from Nicola (Mother of Child) published on 13 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fledglings is a fantastic nursery.


I have had two children attend, both have been extremely happy, developed excellent social skills and had a wonderful early years education. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, supportive and my son currently at the school, adores them. Everybody goes out of

their way to ensure the children are safe and content.


What's especially good is the huge number of activities nursery provide, in addition to the usual early years provision. For example, recent visits by an exotic animal keeper, getting children to hold creatures such as giant snails and pythons, a trip on the bus to buy and subsequently plant, seeds and plants for the garden, weekly swimming trips, visits to the local park, visits from musicians, dance teachers and a PE teacher.


I whole heatedly recommend Fledglings, and will be extremely sorry when my youngest leaves.

Review from Hayley (Mother of Child) published on 2 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been at Fledglings Stretford since he was 9 months and is now nearly 2. I have always found the staff and management to be great and never had a cause for concern.


The nursery is bright and always clean and my child has come on so much since I increased his days and staff always give

us regular updates about progress and new skills.


Security is also great here with the geometric door system so I never worry about safety.

Reply from Lynn Seigenberg at Kids Planet Stretford
Wonderful to hear such positive feedback Hayley. Security at Fledglings is top priority for both children and members of staff, and we aim to continue this.

Review from Dimitri R (Father of Child) published on 2 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been extremely pleased with all of the staff and activities at Fledgling's also knowing that our daughter is kept safe at all times is a great relief. I quite like their fingerprint entry system as it's peace of mind yet again in the knowledge that nobody can just walk in unless either met by
staff or by using the fingerprint entry system. There's an app for your mobile /tablet which the staff use to send pictures of our daughter engaged in various activities along with a written report each day which is brilliant as although we're enjoying the break, we can still see what she's up to or been up to. Our daughter has progressed in leaps n bounds since attending Fledgling's and we are very appreciative to all the staff associated with the nursery.

I highly recommend this nursery, my daughter has attended since she was 6 months old and now shes 20 months and is still apart of the nursery due to the fact they are excellent in every area of child care. The staff are very nice and my daughter's room manager is an asset to the nursery along with
the other staff. Best nursery in Trafford in my opinion!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.935)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.935) out of 10 for Kids Planet Stretford 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.935 for Kids Planet Stretford is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.935
  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 Stretford is based on 18 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 18 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.
