My son has just started at this nursery & I was so nervous but from the moment we started with his settling in sessions my mind was straight at ease, the staff was all so welcoming and my son loved them from the very first time he went into the baby room. His confidence has grown to much & is such a
happy little soul when I pick him up. Can't thank staff enough for making me feel so much better about my first baby going to nursery, I am very excited for him to have many amazing memories here.

My little boy started the nursery in November 2024, he had a very difficult time settling in but the staff where amazing, they also suggested my son needed more settling in sessions to help him which I agreed with and they where very supportive. Now my little boy is thriving, he loves nursery and always
tells me stories about what he's being doing through the day. I can see and feel how happy he is. All the staff are very friendly, kind and are always positive, the managers recognise how great they are and are always treating them, it's lovely to see on socials! Overall, a very warm and welcoming setting that I am happy my little boy is a part of!

Both of my children attend this nursery, one since 2023 and the other since the start of 2025. Both of them love it here, they have both come along so well since starting. The staff are amazing and so helpful, they genuinely seem to enjoy being there and being with all the children.

As a parent, watching your child struggle to settle into nursery can be difficult-but thanks to the wonderful team at the nursery, this journey has become much easier for both my son and me. A heartfelt thank you to a particular staff member, who has been a constant source of comfort and support for
my little one. He absolutely adores her-so much so that even when he's at home, he wants to go to nursery just to see her! That bond is incredibly reassuring as a parent.


I also want to express my appreciation for four other members of staff who have all shown such warmth, patience, and care. Their support has made a big difference in helping my child feel safe and happy in his new environment.


A special mention goes to the nursery manager, who has been incredibly supportive not just with my child, but with me as well. Her understanding and approachability have truly made this experience more comforting.


Thank you to the whole team for the dedication and love you show every day.

Review from Alexandra H (Mother of Child) published on 16 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one started Kids Planet at 2 years old. As an only child he really wasn't used to being alongside other kids. 5 staff members in particular were absolute superstars in encouraging him to come out of his shell and settle in. He's since moved up to Pre-School with three members of staff and
under their kindly care and guidance, he has again flourished. He's meeting or exceeding his milestones and I'm sure this wouldn't have happened without them. Toddlers say very little about their day, but we always get updates on the app and at pick up time- which is really reassuring.


My only criticism would be towards the accounts team whose invoices are as clear as mud! But given that financials are dealt with offsite, I can't lay that issue with the Halewood team.


Ultimately, my LO absolutely loves going to Kids Planet and it's easy to see why: it's a happy, positive and safe space for kids to grow and learn. I'm really happy to recommend there!

My child has been attending Kids Planet Halewood since January 2024 and has been thriving since starting. She recently moved up rooms and at first, was slightly unsettled. The workers in her new room kept us updated on what they were doing to get her settled, adapted her key worker to someone who was
in for all the days my child was in. After a week of some amendments, my child was completely settled and was skipping into nursery. It's a lovely safe environment and my daughter loves her nursery days. The learning is age-appropriate and the workers take great care in working on key development objectives which we can clearly see at home. We're so grateful for all Kids Planet Halewood is doing to invest in our child's nursery development.

This is a lovely nursery and the care they give is amazing. They go above and beyond for my little girl and I couldn't ask for a better group of girls to look after her. My child is so happy and comfortable in the setting and has a great relationship with all the staff. Thank you so much Kids Planet

We were really apprehensive about our little one starting nursery especially as she hadn't spent any time with anyone but Mum and Dad. The first few weeks were really tough, emotional and long! But the nursery staff were incredibly supportive. We never worried about leaving our little girl there and
felt well-informed. 6 months on she loves going and we struggle to get her out! Thanks all!

My daughter attended when the nursery was Ducklings from 11 months old until she left to start school, and when we needed a nursery for my son we didn’t hesitate to send him here as well. He loves attending nursery, the facilities for him are brilliant, and there is a wide range of activities each day
for him to participate in. The best thing about the nursery though is the caring, fantastic staff who look after him. I feel safe in the knowledge he is happy and well looked after here. I would highly recommend Halewood Kids Planet to anyone looking for a nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.940)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.940) out of 10 for Kids Planet Halewood 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.940 for Kids Planet Halewood is calculated as follows: ( (237 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 251 Ratings = 4.94
  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 Halewood is based on 21 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 61 number of registered child places is 12.2, which has been reached with 21 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.
