My little boy loves coming to nursery - he joined in the baby room and is now in the tots room. The staff are so friendly and caring, and he's made lots of little friends. He's always excited to go in and comes home happy (and tired!). His development has come on so much since he joined in April. We're
really happy we chose this nursery!

My son loves coming to nursery. Of course we have mornings where he's unsure, but the girls in the Tots Room are always to supportive to him, they give him all the comfort he needs. He has come on so much since moving to the tots room, his speaking and understanding is amazing! Very thankful to the
staff in tots.

Our son has been attending Kids Planet Middlewich for the past 6 months. He is thriving there and absolutely loves it. He has learnt so much already and always has a smile on his face on drop off. The staff are always great with communication and we have found amazing trust and left extremely comfortable
leaving our son in the care of the girls. Would definitely recommend.

My little girl absolutely loves going to nursery at KP. The girls are so lovely and build a bond with the children. Their day is packed with fun activities and the meals are always nutritious and a nice variety. She has made lots of little friends and always has a smile going into her room in the mornings.
Her speech and development has come on in leaps and bounds and I put it down to the amazing team at KP. Thank you for looking after my little one each week and making her feel safe and happy.

Both my children love the nursery. One in preschool who has been there since 9months old and still loving it. His speech has come on lots since he started doing phonics with pre school. Great activities and loves the garden. I know he will miss everyone when he starts school in September.
My daughter
in toddlers has been there since 12 months old and loves the staff in her room. Every morning I ask who she will play with that day and it's always the grown ups she mentions. I know she will miss them when moving to rising 3's. Everyone is so friendly!

My daughter loves attending Kids planet. The girls are all so wonderful with her and their names are often mentioned at home. My daughter always arrives home from nursery full of life and talking about the activities she's done that day. Since starting Kids planet her a year ago her vocabulary and intelligence
has developed hugely. I would highly recommend Kids planet to any other parent.

My children have been so well cared for at Kids Planet. The staff are kind, patient and always welcoming, and it's clear they genuinely care about the children. I've noticed so much progress in my children's confidence, independence and learning since starting here. Communication is excellent, and
I always feel reassured knowing they are happy and safe. A wonderful nursery that I would highly recommend to any parent!

My son has been at KP Middlewich since he was 6 months old & i can honestly say that the staff have been fantastic, from management to the girls in the rooms. My son was diagnosed with GDD & speech and language delays & the SEN team there were incredible & without their support we wouldn't have been
so far down the line with his EHC Plan & other avenues of support.

My child loves coming to nursery. Whilst being there she has made huge progress in her development and learning. Shes social and happy and this is encouraged by the staff and management. The food is nutritional and my child eats extremely well (better than the quantity at home) the nursery is clean
and has a range of toys and learning activities. The learning activities are always based on learning whilst having fun and getting messy. Staff are always welcoming and take the time to engage with my child. Management are always available and happy to help.

We are so incredibly happy with Kids Planet. Our daughter has been attending since she was in the baby room, and it's been amazing to watch her grow by leaps and bounds with their support. The staff have been absolutely brilliant from day one, helping her settle in so well and creating a warm, nurturing
environment where she feels safe and happy.
The team has always gone above and beyond to support us as parents in every way possible. The communication is fantastic, and it's clear they genuinely care about our daughter's development and well-being. We couldn't ask for a better nursery for her, and we highly recommend Kids Planet to any family looking for exceptional care.

We definitely made the right choice choosing this nursery for our little boy. He joined the baby room around 2 months ago and we have nothing but fabulous things to say about all the staff in the baby room, they are so lovely and are fantastic with our boy. It has been amazing to see how much his development
has come along from his time spent there. We are always kept informed on anything he does whether that be fun activities, meals eaten, nappy changes etc and we can always contact staff if we need to discuss anything. The fact he always has the biggest smile on his face and reaches his arms out excitedly to staff every time he is dropped off in the morning is more than enough for us to feel completely comfortable in the fact we have definitely chosen the right nursery- especially how quickly he settled right into nursery life too. The other staff in the building have been so lovely too when we have been on walk arounds. I would definitely recommend this nursery :)

We absolutely love the nursery - all the staff are so friendly and welcoming. It makes it easier dropping off our little one knowing she is cared for and looked after. Upon pick up talks about all the staff and her day. We're so glad we chose this nursery and are looking forward to the rest of our child's
journey.

All the staff are welcoming and know the children by name.
The children are offered a wide range of activities and healthy meals.
My child loves attending Kids Planet Nursery and talks positively about her experiences in "Rising 3s" at home.
I love that the children are taken out into the local
community whenever possible.
Communication is good and the app is used well to keep parents up to date.
If there are any incidents or concerns as to the health or well-being of your child they are responsive and take appropriate action quickly.
Termly assessments are completed to monitor the child's progress. The only thing I would like to see is to have a termly 1-1 conversation with our child's key worker about the outcome of the assessment to enable us to understand their progress better, understand any areas of concern and how we can support further.

We are so happy that our child is able to attend this nursery! The staff are friendly, and welcoming and really do have our child's welfare and interests at the centre of everything they do. The facilities are great, with large rooms, lots of activities throughout the day and a menu which makes us quite
jealous! The app they use is helpful to see updates throughout the day, and we love receiving photos of the various activities which shows she is having a fun time!

My little boy is currently in the Tots Room at Middlewich Kids Planet. I'm so grateful and happy with the care he is given while at nursery. He struggles slightly on the sensory side of things but the girls have been working with him to explore what they can and encourage him. I'm updated regularly
on his eating, sleeping and activities during the day which puts my mind at ease. All of the girls in the room are very knowledgable and my little one has developed a good connection with them all.
Fantastic Nursery and staff!

We had a rocky start but the manager at the time and since promoted was amazing and wouldn't rest until everything was rectified and that I was happy and confident again.
Since our boy moved to the tot's room, I've been feeling so much more confident and content. He's flourishing in there. He's only
been going for 2 mornings a week (until recently) but that's been more than enough for the team to work their magic and his speech is starting to really come along!
Thank you tots team!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.575)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.575) out of 10 for Kids Planet Middlewich 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 26 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 4.935 for Kids Planet Middlewich is calculated as follows: ( (290 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 310 Ratings = 4.935
  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 4.64 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Middlewich is based on 26 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 203 number of registered child places is 40.6. 26 Positive Reviews ÷ 40.6 = 0.64
  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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2025

My name is Charlotte, I have two children, a daughter aged 10 and a son who is nearly 4, I'm from Middlewich but currently live in Winsford. I love to spend time with my family this is very important to me. I have worked in childcare since I left school, working at Rainbow's Day Nursery (before the nursery was Kid's Planet), I worked here for 17 years as a practitioner and gained my level 2 and 3 in childcare. When Kid's Planet took over the nursery, I was able to gain my Degree in Early Childhood and also my Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood. I then went on to work with children with special educational needs for two years, this is a passion of mine as my daughter has additional needs. I love to help support parents and children and help children to feel included and able to achieve their goals. I have now been able to come back to Kid's Planet Middlewich as a manager, I'm now able to support children, parents and staff members which I'm very eager and excited to be a part of.
