We have found the nursery to be very supportive of our daughter. Staff are always friendly when she is dropped off and picked up, and are always genuinely excited to tell us about what they all did that day. They make special effort to do activities focussed on specific events, even some events that
we haven't heard of before, such as child wellbeing week where they did a mini spa day for the kids!

My child has made amazing relationships with the staff in tots room. She has been nurtured and cared for so much that after a long time off with mum, she now walks into this room independently and excited. The activities have been personalised to her interests and the staff know the areas she loves
to play. We love the variety of food she tries at nursery as she naturally refuses at home. All the staff are informative, down to earth and friendly and I am very happy with the nursery setting.

My son absolutely loves Kids Planet Middlewich! He comes home excited every night telling me about his day, playing with his friends and about the activities he's taken part in. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming and have really helped him to become a happy, independent and thriving little
boy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been a parent of children at this nursery for the past 10 years, and I will be using their services for another 6 years.
Kids planet is a big company, and that can be attractive to some and not others. I have been a parent at this nursery before it was quoted by kids planet, and nothing changed.
Many of the staff have been at this site for 10+ years. They are local people who provide a loving, warm, safe, secure environment. The team leaders in all the rooms are professional and highly experienced and qualified. The kitchen staff but me to shame, and the activities, experience and opportunities the children get is something I could never give.
Both my children are at school and attended KP from 10 months old. They both love attending the after school and holiday clubs.
Children who attend KP learn structure and rules. Both my children have excelled at school as they learnt so many of the basics at KP.
I will be forever grateful to this nursery.

My 2 year old attends Middlewich Kids Planet nursery and always, without fail, will ask for a big cuddle when he walks into his room every morning and every nursery worker is more than happy to hug him as long as he needs. All of the workers, even from other rooms, acknowledge and play with him when
they see him around too- they have looked after both him and his older brother and they always ask about him now he's in reception. Always kind and caring. First class establishment.

My child has thrived since attending this nursery. Staff are kind and nurturing. Fun activities are planned for children that help and support their development. My child enjoys attending and communication between nursery and home has been good. Staff including management are always approachable and

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The environment is clean, safe, and thoughtfully set up with a wide variety of engaging activities that support learning through play. The team creates a nurturing atmosphere where children feel confident, valued, and excited to explore. We've seen such positive growth in our child's social skills,
communication, and independence since starting here.


Communication with parents is excellent - we're always kept informed about daily activities, progress, and any important updates. It's incredibly reassuring to know our child is in such capable and compassionate hands.


We highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a supportive, stimulating, and caring environment for their little one.

Our little one joined the baby room a few months ago, and she has come on leaps and bounds since then. The ladies in the baby room have supported her so much with her walking and talking, and they always provide us with detailed updates about how her day has been.


They have also reassured and helped

me with milestones, eating habits, and sleeping routines, which has been incredibly appreciated. It's clear that all of the staff genuinely care for her and the children they look after. My little one really enjoys nursery and the activities that they take part in each day.


Tess, Courtney, and Mollie have been amazing with our little one, and we are so grateful for everything they do.

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!

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!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.841)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.841) 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 37 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 4.930 for Kids Planet Middlewich is calculated as follows: ( (410 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 441 Ratings = 4.93
  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 4.911 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Middlewich is based on 37 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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. 37 Positive Reviews ÷ 40.6 = 0.911
  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.
