I have twin girls in Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Stretton and they are very happy there. The quality of care is excellent and they really care for the girls as individuals and recognise their needs. They went to another nursery for 3 months when we moved back to the area from Scotland but they did
not settle very well but as soon as we moved to Kids Planet they were much happier.

Well done to all of you!

Having had our son at another nursery, where he struggled, we moved to Stretton where he has thrived. They are so caring and make such an effort on a child by child basis and helped him so much. I couldn't recommend them enough!

Having suffered with anxiety about who I trust to leave my son. I was so happy I found this nursery. The staff is amazing, so lovely and they treat my son as their own child. My son has progressed so much since coming to Kids Planet and he goes happily to nursery. The app is fantastic with loads of
pictures and information, the staff is like a small family that go above and beyond to make my son happy and mould to the routine that we have at home.

My son has attended this lovely nursery for over two years - all the staff really care about the children. They have worked closely with us to settle him in and given lots of good advice though his developments which is a great support. I love getting updates throughout the day from the nursery app
as it makes me feel like I am not missing out on his day. The activities are varied and always look fun. When I pick my son up the staff usually have a little story to tell me about what he has done. I love hearing the stories.

I highly rate Kids Planet Stretton, the nursery setting is the best I've ever viewed, a fantastic, spacious, welcoming environment surrounded by nature. The staff are extremely friendly, helpful and genuine people. All the children love it here. My daughter has excelled in her overall abilities and
attitude whilst attending this nursery and we as a family, love the events the nursery holds such as fun days, easter and Christmas fate. The variety of activities here are well thought out and food is brilliant.

When I first started looking for nurseries it was an extremely difficult time for me, as any parent they want to choose the right one for their baby. As soon as I entered Kids Planet Stretton I instantly felt a warm welcome compared to others I’d viewed. My daughter has been so well looked after and
the stress of leaving her has gone! All the ladies are lovely and I couldn’t ask for better women to be looking after my baby girl. I especially like that all the meals are home-cooked and I know what source of nutrition she’s getting and having the app to update me makes it even better.

My daughter has loved her 3 years at nursery, the staff are great, very friendly and caring and also professional. They provide great feedback on my daughter’s progress and development, especially through her time in the preschool room and I have no reservations sending my son there in a few months.
The equipment and building have been recently improved following being taken over by Kids Planet from being privately owned and the outdoor area is great.

Review from Sarah (Mother of Child) published on 28 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kids Planet Stretton is a truly fantastic nursery. The staff are exceptionally caring and nurturing and there is a key focus on learning and developing language alongside the eyfs commitments. The activities the children are involved in are always fun and diverse, with an emphasis on outdoor play. The
food choices and menus are of a very high standard. Staff are always on hand to report back on the children’s day in detail. The online portal is also superb as it allows you to check on what your child has been doing and what they have eaten and if they have slept throughout the day, so you know what to expect on pick up. My little girl has been here for almost two years (since she was one) and thoroughly enjoys it. She has learnt a huge amount and has developed into a very sociable and confident little girl. I never worry about leaving my child at Kids Planet Stretton as I know she is in such capable hands.

Such welcoming staff, stimulating environment and great facilities.
My little boy looks forward to going to nursery and is greeted by name and given a hug at the start of his sessions. The staff genuinely care about the children and have become an extension of the family.

My son has attended this nursery for eleven months and the care he has received has been outstanding. All of the staff have taken time to bond and forge a relationship with my son so that they understand his needs and can support his development. I love that the activities the children undertake are
both fun and educational. My son greatly enjoys attending nursery especially all of the outdoor play, the music sessions and most of all messy play. He has a great time at nursery which is so important to us - this really was the best choice of nursery.

My son had a wonderful journey in the nursery throughout the period of two years, had learnt a lot of discipline and really enjoys being in the nursery. The care and well being provided by the nursery is amazing. Staff and management were very friendly, they were more like an extended family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I saw many nurseries in the area before selecting this one for my son. As a teacher myself, I wanted to choose somewhere that I knew would really help him to grow and learn in a safe and nurturing environment and Kids Planet, Stretton certainly does this. My little boy loves going to nursery and the
staff know him really well. I love seeing updates of what he has been doing in the day and it is clear that he is learning lots of new words and skills there. He is always very well fed. I was initially anxious because my little boy has food allergies but the staff put my mind at rest straight away and even showed me around the kitchen to explain how they would prepare food especially for him. Our views are always taken into account and they are very flexible when it comes to nap times, milk feeds etc. We really couldn’t be happier and I would happily and enthusiastically recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.941)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.941) out of 10 for Kids Planet Stretton 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.941 for Kids Planet Stretton is calculated as follows: ( (352 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 372 Ratings = 4.941
  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 Stretton is based on 31 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 31 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.
