I would highly recommend Kids Planet nursery. My little boy has started the nursery last year November and I can see the change, my son loves attending nursery and learning so much things in a short period of time. All the practitioners are lovely, friendly and caring. I love the real life resources
they use. Children are happy and well looked after in the nursery.

Our daughter has thrived during her time at Kids Planet Wavertree. We have always felt the team do above and beyond with the children, and they’re always helpful and empathetic with any queries or concerns.
The app used to keep in touch is great and they regularly keep in contact throughout the day.
I have nothing at all negative to say about Kids Planet.

My daughter absolutely loves this nursery. After the first lockdown in 2020, she was really upset when she couldn't attend and ran there the first day it reopened. She has been there for over 3 years now and has progressed well through the various rooms. The staff are so caring and she loves them all.
The meal plans and daily activities are extremely varied. My daughter is very ready for school in September - the nursery has developed her numeracy and written skills beyond my expectations. She loves to draw, write letters and numbers and has learnt good social skills in her interaction with the other children.

This nursery is excellent! Both my daughters attended and we found it to be brilliant. Staff are approachable, professional and friendly. The development of both of my children is clearly evident and they both enjoyed their time at Kids Planet. The staff put so much into the children and get to know
them so well. My daughter left pre school - school ready and it was all thanks to the standard of learning and development and care she received from the nursery. We would highly recommend.

Kids Planet Wavertree have been amazing for our little boy. We needed to move him from his old nursery as our working pattern changed and were worried about the transition but all of the staff made the process easy and worry-free. Our son absolutely loves attending nursery and has come on leaps and
bounds whilst at Kids Planet. The activities the nursery do with the children are great and they even adapt sessions based on his interests. The app is great for keeping us up to date and we feel that all of the staff genuinely care about our son and his wellbeing.

Kids Planet Wavertree is a fantastic nursery. My son has been attending for a number of years and every staff member we have encountered have been so welcoming and supportive of his development.


He happily skips into nursery each day and has lots of wonderful stories to tell us each day of the activities

he has participated in.


The nursery is well run, our son is provided with nutritious meals and is well cared for during his time here.


I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery as a caring, nurturing, and professional child care facility.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kids Planet Wavertree is a fabulous nursery and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. My eldest has been at this nursery for almost a year and absolutely adores nursery and the staff that work with him. Now that restrictions allow it, it’s lovely to walk through the nursery and see the hustle and bustle,
and all of the lovely activities the children have been doing. It’s always comforting to see that the children are happy and well cared for.
Nursery have worked really hard to adapt to meet the needs of my child through making changes, referrals, additional funding and have been supportive throughout. Staff are very friendly, approachable and clearly enjoy what they do! It’s lovely to see that nothing is ever too much trouble and that the staff genuinely care about the children.
Recently my baby joined the baby room at nursery and has settled quickly without any problems. Staff in the baby room are nurturing, attentive and really understand the babies.

My son loves this nursery. The staff are all really nice, friendly and helpful. My son has certain food allergies that they help and support with his diet - highly recommend.
He is always happy walking into nursery and out. All the children look really happy there too.

I could not recommend Kids Planet Wavertree enough. The management and staff have gone above and beyond for my little boy who has additional needs.
From the very first phone call and a visit to see the nursery (which I add was during the height of the pandemic), I knew this would be the right nursery
for my little boy. The staff have been absolutely amazing with my little boy and have brought him on so much. They go the extra mile with his feeding and speech therapy. He loves going to nursery and walks straight in waving bye which is a great reassurance for me that he is happy and content. It was not easy for me to leave my little boy initially due to his additional needs but the team have made me feel confident I have made the right choice. Thank you so much for making this transition so much easier for us. I cannot imagine him going anywhere else.

The nursery has been a major support for my husband and me. They go above and beyond all the time. I couldn’t thank them enough for what they have done for us.
Every time I have a problem it’s always sorted out that day with no questions asked.
They were so supportive when my baby was in intensive
care and things like this you just don’t forget.
All the staff in every room are so friendly and caring and I feel so confident leaving both my children with them. The nursery has brought my two children on and kept them entertained for years. I couldn’t imagine sending them somewhere else.

I couldn't be happier with Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Wavertree. All three of my children have attended, two of which are still present and each and every member of staff including the management team continuously go above and beyond for all the children. My youngest two absolutely love it and are
greeted with big smiles every day at the door. They have developed so well in all areas and continue to amaze me every day and I have to thank the staff for this! I also love the parent app, as the staff give me updates on absolutely everything I need to know throughout the day, I would highly recommend!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All staff at Kids Planet Wavertree have been friendly, approachable and helpful during an important milestone in our daughter's life. Since starting preschool in September 2020, it’s been a challenging and emotional time for us all yet the staff have enabled for this transition to take place smoothly.
This is a result of excellent communication via the Parent Zone App. Regular updates about moments in our child’s day, including settling into a routine, engaging indoor and outdoor activities, assessments based upon observations by her key worker plus food diary updates, reassures us as her parents that Kids Planet Wavertree is a safe and enabling environment where our daughter is being cared for. Following a three-week period of isolation at home, our daughter was extremely emotional and anxious about leaving us when returning to preschool. However, within the first week, her key worker has gone above and beyond to ensure our daughter is welcomed, settled and engaged each day. Thank you.

Two members of staff, in particular, go out of their way to help the children. They are amazing. I can’t trust anyone more than these ladies you're fab. Even minding my niece 2 years previously. And the recommendations I had about you and the nursery were amazing. Thank you.

I would highly recommend Kids Planet Wavertree. I feel confident my son is looked after in a safe and caring environment. Every member of staff is approachable and if I have any worries or concerns I know I can call and speak to someone. I will be upset when my son has to leave to go to school next
year. Every parent worries when leaving their child in a childcare provision but I can confidently say they are in safe hands.

My son has been at the nursery for 3-years. He has had a great experience. All the staff have been fantastic with him. He seems to be very well stimulated and does a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. He loves going into nursery and always comes out happy and chats enthusiastically about what
he has been doing. I would thoroughly recommend to other parents.

I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone. The staff are very friendly and very approachable, my toddler absolutely loves it here. He gets so excited coming in which I think speaks volumes as to how happy and safe he feels here. They have a great variety of food and do lots of stimulating activities.
I love the app where I get sent updates and photographs daily. They have adapted incredibly well to the awful Covid situation, I feel incredibly safe trusting them with my little boy. This is my second child to go to this nursery, I moved work, and even though the nursery is out my way now, it is well worth the travel because I feel like there is no better place.

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.
