Truly amazing staff. Nothing is too much for them very accommodating. My grandson is special needs and we have found staff to be excellent with him. He is thriving since he started and he's learning more and more each day.

The nursery provides an outstanding level of care, with staff who are attentive, compassionate, and clearly dedicated to the well-being and development of the children. Their expertise and nurturing temperament create a positive, supportive environment where children thrive. Communication and engagement
with parents are seamless, and the range of activities offered is both enriching and thoughtfully planned. A truly exceptional setting for early years care and education.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been extremely happy with Hazelhurst kids planet, throughout our child's four years there. The staff are attentive, friendly, and always approachable, creating a warm and nurturing environment. Our child formed a strong bond with her key person, which significantly supported her confidence and
development.
The nursery organizes events and outings exceptionally well, providing enjoyable experiences that are both fun and educational. The activities are thoughtfully planned, aligning with learning objectives across different developmental areas, ensuring children are consistently engaged and challenged.
Communication with staff is excellent; we regularly had meaningful chats about our child's progress and attended parent evenings that offered valuable insight into her development.


Overall, we would highly recommend Hazelhurst kids planet to other parents seeking a professional, caring, and supportive early years setting.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is truly the perfect setting. I've had two children attend here, with one recently moving on in August, fully prepared and excited for big school.


From the moment you drop your child off, you know they are in safe hands. Every member of staff is caring, interactive, and genuinely invested

in the children's wellbeing and development. They are attentive, nurturing, and always engaging the children in fun and stimulating activities.


I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to anyone. It's a place you really need to see in person to fully appreciate just how special the setting is.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl started here in May and she settled so well! She started in tots and the girls were absolutely brilliant, always so welcoming and happy. My daughter built a lovely relationship with all the girls who looked after her and was thriving, I could tell she loved spending time at nursery. She
has recently moved to toddler 1 and the transition process has been seamless. She has settled into her new room with no issues and again the staff are brilliant, always a detailed handover of her day and little touches that show they listen to parents.


I couldn't recommend Hazlehurst enough, the staff are amazing, they outdoor area is just perfect and the manager is fabulous!!


Thank you for all that you do, for everyone

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've had a truly wonderful experience with KIDS PLANET HAZELHURST . The care our daughter received has been outstanding, and it's made such a positive difference in her development. From the very beginning, she was welcomed into a warm, nurturing environment that helped her come out of her shell.


Over

time, we've watched her grow into a more confident, curious, and independent little person. The staff have been fantastic at encouraging her natural sense of exploration, and it's been lovely to see her flourish in both confidence and personality.


A very special mention must go to the team in the Rising 3's room. They are amazing at connecting with toddlers and tailoring activities that suit each child's individual interests and pace. The thoughtful and intuitive approach has helped our daughter truly blossom into her own person. We are so grateful for the care and attention given not just to our child, but to every child .

Review from Katie P (Mother of Child) published on 25 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at the nursery when in the baby room and he is now in the pre school room. He only skipped out rising 3s. The original staff were all exceptional we found. Although things were a little unsettled when Kids Planet took over as some staff left and we were worried about new staff, the new
manager and all the staff have addressed any worries, e.g. when he changes rooms and been very caring to our little boy and to me. They all seem so happy to work there. It is a hard job they do, in my opinion but they always seem nothing but professional. He is coming on so well in the pre school room, they have massively helped with getting him toilet trained in a week, so it's been very easy for me and his speech seems to have really come on. They get loads of time outside in all the rooms and they have fab areas to play. My boy really loves being outside so he is so happy when I pick him up and tired out!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at the nursery for 2 months in the baby room and I cannot praise the team enough. They are always happy and smiley with cuddles for my little girl when she comes through the door. If she is upset when I leave they make sure she has focused care and help distract her. At the end
of the day they are knowledgeable about her day and use so much positive language it makes my heart burst. I trust the team unreservedly with my child. The space for my child to play and develop in is well thought out and welcoming. They also get to go on trips out to the park and local walks so my girl gets to be in nature and experience different environments. They also serve a wide variety of foods. There is an app that keeps you up with your child's day. I would like to see more on this app but I understand that caring for the children comes before uploading pictures and I am grateful they prioritise the little ones. I am so happy I found this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandson recently started at Hazelhurst he is a child with complex needs and has Downs Syndrome. The manager and all staff have been fantastic in how they have catered to my grandson's needs and the care given to him. When trying to seek a placement in a nursery for him we found it difficult due
to his extra needs and care. The manager was so accommodating to his needs, and nothing was too much trouble. I am so happy he's now in Hazelhurst Nursery as I feel this really is the best place for him to be and he could not be cared for anywhere better. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone every staff member has been really professional and caring and Hazelhurst definitely deserves to be acknowledged for this.

My daughter has attended this nursery since Kids Planet took over. I had initial concerns as a lot of the staff were new so there was a lot of change but my concerns were listened to and my suggestions actioned immediately by management. I am impressed by their response and communication and my daughter
is very happy here.

My son is in toddler 1 room and my husband and I are really pleased with how quickly he has settled in. The staff and his key worker in particular are warm, caring and seem to have a great relationship with our son. He seems to enjoy the food and is always happy when we collect him at the end of the
day. Thank you.

Kids Planet took over our nursery in Spring of 2024. Although it took some time to embed new processes, the nursery is working very well. All rooms and equipment have been updated and the building feels warm and welcoming.
The staff are excellent with the children and I feel my daughter has a bond
with the team. I feel like my daughter is safe and well cared for in nursery and what's more, she enjoys her time there.
Staff encourage the children's development and work with them to ensure they are meeting their development milestones. Staff provide a debrief each day of how my daughter has been and communication with parents is good.
I would recommend the nursery to other parents without hesitation.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.634)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.634) out of 10 for Kids Planet Hazelhurst 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 4.8 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 4.884 for Kids Planet Hazelhurst is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.884
  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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Hazelhurst 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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.75
  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.
