Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children attend kids planet nursery in Woolston. (Age 3 and 1) and they are so happy and well cared for. I love seeing updates throughout the day of what the kids are upto. The staff are all fantastic, you can tell they enjoy their job (which is a huge importance i think in childcare/teaching).
My children have excelled so much since going, with their speech, confidence, and abilities. They look forward to nursery and always come home in such a good mood (and so tired out from all the fun they are a dream at bedtime). Thank you so much to the staff at kids planet for providing such a trust worthy environment for my babies to grow in.

My twins have been coming to Kids Planet since they were 10 months old. The staff are excellent and made us feel at ease straight away. As first time parents, we visited a number of nurseries and we knew this was the one for us as soon as we stepped in the door. They keep us updated on naps and meals
and provides a range of different foods everyday.

We've had a wonderful experience with this nursery. The staff are warm, caring, and always make our child feel safe and happy. They've gone above and beyond to provide extra support for our child's development, and we've seen such positive progress since she started. The environment is clean, bright,
and full of fun, engaging activities. Communication with parents is excellent-we always feel informed and involved. Highly recommended!

Our daughter has been attending Kids Planet Woolston for almost two years and we could not recommend them highly enough. We feel really lucky we can leave her with people who so obviously care for her, help her to grow and treat her like family. She talks a lot about her day and enjoys coming to nursery,
she's happy and comfortable around all the staff. We have no complaints at all, she's extremely well cared for, does a wide variety of fun and educational activities, is fed a great mix of different foods and we are updated regularly throughout the day.

The staff are the biggest selling point. They not only build strong bonds with the children but also take time out of their busy day to acknowledge and update the parents.
You can tell that each staff member really cares for the children and treat them like their own. They really are the best.

Could not recommend enough! My daughter in the toddler room LOVES coming to this nursery. When we're at home she often asks about the staff and she looks forward to going each week. She always has new things to play with and the messy play is great. Staff are lovely and so good with her. Love love love.

My daughter is currently in the tots room and she could not be happier. After moving here from a different setting that did not suit her, she has thrived month on month. Her key worker is her favourite person, which is proven by how much she talks about her when she's at home, and how excited she gets
to go to nursery in a morning. Would recommend this nursery to anyone!

My little girl always comes out of nursery happy and chatty telling me about her day. All the members of staff know her name and speak to her as we pass each room and everyone is always really pleasant and friendly. When she does have the odd occasion of being upset, the staff always comfort her and
let me know once she has settled. My little boy will be starting this year too.

Fantastic Nursery setting. My son loved his time there and always enjoyed going in, and he progressed very well throughout his time there.
The staff were all amazing and we enjoyed a great relationship with them.
Senior management were superb and always had time for questions and was always available.
We wouldn't go anywhere else.

Both of my children attended this nursery from being babies and both absolutely loved it. From start to finish it felt like a home away from home for them. The staff are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond. You can feel the warmth the minute you walk through the front door.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son moved to Kids Planet when he was 14 months old. We chose to move him as the nursery had more rooms to separate the ages of the children than his previous did. This really helped my son find himself as the children around him were of a similar age and he didn't need to shy away from much older
children anymore. They spend time with him in the next age bracket room each day which will definitely help his transition when the time comes. I get the sense they really care and want to support the children which is everything I could ask for. He's eating different meals every day and trying new things which is amazing. Everyone at the nursery is extremely pleasant and my son is very happy there. The app they use keeps us up to date and I love the photo updates of him, it's very easy to use. Dropping off and picking up can take a while as the security gates are slow to open but I'm glad that level of security is in place. Overall I love this nursery.

Puddleducks have looked after all three of my children over the last thirteen years. In that time the level of care and professionalism has remained at a high level. I would recommend them to any parent looking for childcare in Warrington.

Our daughter has been going here since she was 9 months old. We chose Puddleducks from word of mouth from other family members who had their children there. We are so so glad we listened as we have seen our daughter grow and grow with everything she has learned and how she has developed.
From management
to staff, they all go above and beyond and beyond again to make sure each child learns and understands as they grow. Whether it is working with them one to one or in a group, our daughter came home every day smiling and couldn't wait to tell us what she had done that day. Our daughter has now started reception at primary school and goes there brimming with confidence and excitement, which I know as been stemmed from her upbringing in the Puddleducks family.

My little boy has just finished at Puddleducks to go to school and what can I say - Absolutely amazing nursery with the best nursery nurses around. Each and every one of the staff helped to make my little one feel so much at ease about going to nursery. They have absolutely wonderful facilities and
really help to prepare your child for school and help them to make friends. I can't praise this nursery enough! My second child will definitely be going here in the not too distant future.

Puddleducks Is a fabulously warm, friendly and welcoming nursery! My son joined the Cottontails room in January and despite being worried after a year of us being to gather 24/7, the transition was very smooth - down to the effort and time the staff put into his induction! The activities that the children
take part in are lovely and the rooms bright and engaging but most importantly the relationships between the staff and children are beautiful. My son runs through the door with arms open wide and a huge smile on his face each morning. I would recommend Puddleducks to anyone!!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.956)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.956) out of 10 for Kids Planet Woolston is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.956 for Kids Planet Woolston is calculated as follows: ( (174 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.956
  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 Woolston is based on 15 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 15 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.
