Both our children attended Kids Planet Wavertree on Heathfield Rd and we never had any issues. Kids are happy to attend and the nursery staff are always smiley and welcoming. It's clear that the staff enjoy working there and they all build great relationships with children and families. Thank you so
much for your care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been attending Kids Planet Wavertree for over 2.5 years now and our son started just a few months ago in the baby room. Our daughter loves attending preschool and finds the activities fun, educational, and varied. All the staff including the manager couldn't be more friendly and attentive
and genuinely care and show interest in all the children in the nursery, not just the children in they directly care for. The food is fresh and varied and my daughter's allergy is specifically catered for. Both children eat very well at the nursery.
My son has settled well in the baby room and I have confidence that he will love his time in all the rooms in the nursery as he develops, just as my daughter has done.
I enjoyed the opportunity to attend a pre-school stay-and-play session in December which was valuable time spent with my daughter. She loved showing me her favourite role-play area.
My husband and I couldn't recommend Kid's Planet Wavertree more highly.

I can't speak highly enough of the staff at Kids Planet Wavertree. They are a brilliant team. They are caring, hardworking, diligent, and always on hand to offer advice and support. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds over the past twelve months, and that's in no small part because of the team
at Wavertree from seven members of staff in particular to name just a few. Thanks guys.

This is a wonderful nursery that has a warm, welcoming feel. All the staff know my child really well and greet her by name in the morning. She loves going into nursery and has made lots of friends. There are lots of activities for her to do every day and she's happy with the food. The staff seem really
kind and always give me a summary at the end of the day.

Our little boy has been attending Kids Planet for almost a year now and we couldn't be happier. All the staff are extremely helpful and I like that the staff that are not in my son's regular room seem to know him, showing the care and attention they provide all the children.
The app provides nice
updates throughout the day from the food he's eating to the activities.
There are plenty of activities each day and all seem to be well thought through. He definitely enjoys his meal times and there is such variation in the food provided.
We couldn't be happier with the care provided and we always feel comfortable dropping him off each day.

A further review in support of this nursery. My daughter continues to enjoy attending this nursery. She loves all of the staff and continues to enjoy lots of different activities. The food is freshly prepared daily allowing her to have/try a varied diet.
Most recently the nursery hosted a stay-and-play
for the children to meet Father Christmas, this went beyond my expectations and the gift of a book was an added surprise - thank you.

My son has been attending since he was 9 months old and absolutely loves his time there. He is so settled and happy and it is lovely to see regular updates on the parent app of him having so much fun! The staff in the baby and tots room in particular, have always made such an effort for him! He is always
well-fed with variation of meals that he always enjoys! My son loves coming to nursery, and always comes home happy! I always feel so comfortable leaving him.

Kids Planet Wavertree is an outstanding nursery. All of the staff are amazing and the care is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble and my children thoroughly enjoy their time there. Engaging activities are put on everyday to ensure children are learning through play. I also love how play time
outside is encouraged, even in colder weather. Another must in any nursery for our family is freshly prepared food. Kids Planet Wavertree have an excellent chef who prepares lovely meals for all dietary needs on site. My boys always have seconds, haha.

My daughter is happy at Kids Planet and has built good relationships with staff and other children. I receive regular updates on what she’s been up to and eaten via the app, along with periodical learning stories to share how her development is coming along. The staff are friendly and welcoming to me

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our second child currently attends this nursery and loves it. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and caring. The communication via the app is generally very good and I really appreciate receiving daily photos of the fun activities my child is participating in. My son loves the sign language classes
and the Diddi dance sessions too. The nursery put a lot of effort in to focused themes and sharing the info with parents carers. Our eldest child started in the tots room in January 2019, and one or both of our children have attended since. We are content knowing that he is happy whilst at nursery and the staff take their time to know each child individually. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery.

I have 2 children that attend this nursery and my first child has attended since 2020. My children absolutely love coming to nursery and the development in both of them since attending has been incredible! As a first-time mum bringing my child here, I had a whole set of worries that were put at ease
and made my transition back to work as easy as possible. Then with my second child I had a totally different set of worries as he has allergies but they have been very accommodating and Im very happy with both my children's care.

Our daughter has been attending Kids Planet Wavertree nursery for over 6 months now and absolutely loves it. She only goes twice a week but loves the staff and is not only well looked after but has loads of fun with the other kids there. She often gets her nursery bag on the days off from nursery and
let's me know she wants to go.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter started here around 12 months old. Despite only doing two mornings a week, she settled in quickly thanks to the caring and attentive staff.


We’ve extended attendance gradually and she loves the staff and activities they provide. There are regular app updates, including progress and

photos of some of your child’s special moments.


Staff quickly act to answer queries or address any worries. The management are so accommodating and try their best to help you with the occasional day swap or extending/adding days. The meals are nutritious and it’s reassuring how well my child eats here - she’s much fussier at home!


The managers are brilliant at responding to emails and finance have provided thorough information about costs, tax-free and 30 hours free childcare. Costs are really competitive for the area.


If your child is happy and flourishing and the systems around them are strong, you can’t really ask for more and that’s what this lovely nursery provides.

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 Wavertree 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 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 4.944 for Kids Planet Wavertree is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.944
  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 4.69 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Wavertree is based on 12 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 87 number of registered child places is 17.4. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.4 = 0.69
  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.
