Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since starting at Kids Planet my son has come on leaps and bounds and I can't thank the staff enough for everything they do with him.
He is always so excited to go to nursery and thoroughly enjoys his days there.
The staff are great and put so much time and effort into making sure that he always
has fun and is constantly learning new things.
The girls in the baby room are great! They all go above and beyond to ensure the babies are constantly doing activities they enjoy. I love that they go on walks down the canal and to the park.

My little boy settled into the baby room straight away. The staff are brilliant and I really feel he's in safe and caring hands. I'm always amazed at the fun things they get up to - lots of messy and sensory play and trips out for walks or to the playground or library. I love getting updates and photos
throughout the day. The food must be good as he often asks for seconds! Really happy we chose this nursery.

Amazing nursery. Go above and beyond to ensure child happiness and support. Staff are always friendly and an overall lovely atmosphere!
The baby room is always supporting and doing many activities to keep the babies busy. They go for walks out, trips to the library, and daily messy play activities.

Since my child has been at Kids Planet, he has been really supported by the staff and enjoys his time there. The staff are friendly and helpful and he feels settled.
As a parent, I am kept up to date with his progress, and I am happy I decided on Kids Planet.
Thank you to you all.

Great staff and great experience for the kids. Our child loves it here and will miss it very much. She will especially miss the staff who she has formed a strong bond with through her time here. Overall she has had a great time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been going to Kids Planet for six months in the Baby Room and we could not be happier with our experience there. It's a huge deal for any parent to leave their child at nursery but the Baby Room team have made the transition so easy and our little girl has settled into nursery life
really well. It's obvious the team all work incredibly hard and care a lot about the children they look after. They've really taken the time to get to know our daughter and all of the team have such a lovely bond with her. There's a big focus on development, even at this young age, which is brilliant. They organise all sorts of activities that keep the children interested and challenged to bring on their skills. Our 16-month-old can name and make the noises of quite a few animals which I think is quite impressive! I'm also really impressed by the meals they're offered - the children are exposed to a huge variety of different ingredients and cuisines, it makes me a bit jealous!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are very happy with the nursery! Our daughter took a few weeks to settle in but the staff really encouraged her to feel comfortable and we can see that she has made real connections with them. They engage in lots of fun and varied activities which allow her to experience things she doesn't get to
at home and the interaction with other adults and children away from us has definitely increased her confidence. She knows so much more than I expected at this age and I feel part of that is from her time at nursery. The secure access helps you feel assured your child is safe, and being all inclusive you know they have everything they need. We love the app and look forward to our updates and photos throughout the day to make us feel part of it. Our daughter smiles at drop-off and is always happy and chatty at pickup which speaks for itself. Everyone is so helpful and friendly with any queries, we definitely made the right choice.

Our daughter moved to Kids Planet Middlewich baby room after being at another nursery closer to work. I’ve got to say, the difference is significant. Our daughter is very happy in the baby room currently and the staff are great. They focus on development, but also the babies seem to enjoy all the activities.
I’m really happy to see my daughter really happy to be dropped off every time. The rooms are really clean, which is something that was really lacking in comparison with our last nursery. Our daughter will be sad to leave the baby room, but I’m sure all the rooms are good. Would happily recommend Kids Planet Middlewich.

I can't recommend the nursery enough. Since my son started in January his confidence has grown and the staff have really helped with his development before school. Nothing is too much trouble and the staff are super friendly. Lovely daily feedback and the addition of parentzone with information and
photos from his week is just what we as parents want to see. It makes it easier going to work knowing I'm leaving him somewhere he loves and with a team of people who care about him.

My daughter has been at Kids Planet Middlewich since being ten months old and she is now in preschool, ready to leave in August ready for school. She has loved every room she has been in and every member of staff have been brilliant with her and her development. I want to give a special thanks to one
particular member of staff; she has been in a number of the rooms with my daughter and my daughter loves her so much, she is kind and thoughtful and very caring towards all the children. My daughter is very sad to be leaving her group this year. My son is starting in the baby room in November and I am confident he will love it just as much.

My Son will soon be leaving his preschool room and has been so well prepared and supported in his transition to school by the staff at Kids Planet.
He has been at this placement for 2 years and has truly loved being a part of his room class. He's made close friends and developed in leaps and bounds
since attending.
I can always drop him off knowing he is thoroughly cared for emotionally, physically and educationally.
The staff are all wonderful, well respected by myself and truly loved by my son. They offer a great variety of activities to fill their days and give reassuring handovers at the end of the day. They are also always open to offering further support where they can.
I can honestly say that I'd give my full positive recommendation to any parent sharing interest and considering Kids Planet day nurseries.
I know both my son and I will be sad as the end of his time here comes to a draw.
The staff are all a huge credit to the company.

My little girl started in August 2022 at just 6 months old. The staff in the baby room are simply amazing.
I suffered with post-natal depression and was extremely anxious about leaving my little girl, the ladies in the baby room and the manager instantly put my mind at ease. They answered all my questions
and went above and beyond to make sure both my daughter and I settled into our new routine.
The activities and updates I get are brilliant to see and my daughter really is thriving there.
She eats a wide variety of foods and they learned very quickly what activities she did and didn't like.
I cannot recommend highly enough and will continue to recommend to any friends and family.

My daughter has settled in really well at the nursery. Her initial settling in days helped me when I was feeling anxious about leaving her. The staff were really helpful in answering all my questions. My daughter smiles when she is greeted by the nursery staff; she clearly enjoys going! I’m delighted
with the variety of activities my daughter gets to do and love that there’s lots of messy play!

My kids love this nursery. They have joined in September 2021. There is not a day they would not want to go there. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We love how we get updates via app, especially observations, so we know exactly what kids are up to.
Highly recommended!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter, 4 in a few weeks, and son, 20 months, both attend Kids Planet. On initially starting our daughter there, I cannot praise them highly enough in the baby room. Staff are approachable, friendly and go out of their way to help. This is something that continues throughout all of the nursery.
It has a lovely family feel and I feel that all staff in the rooms really know my children well and have excellent relationships with them. My daughter, every day she isn't in, just wants to role play nurseries at home, acting out being one of the staff there. They are also pretty reasonable and flexible with changing days too - as much as they possibly can be. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Honestly cannot fault this nursery! My eldest started at 10 months old and my littlest at 8 months old and it’s safe to say that every single day they go in with the biggest smiles and I know they’re going to have the best day!
As a parent picking the right nursery is always a difficult decision but
from the second we walked into Kids Planet Middlewich we knew we had to send our little ones there! Nothing is ever too much to ask and their communications with you as a parent are exceptional. I honestly cannot fault the team here and I am so so grateful for everything you have done for our little family!

My little boy, who has autism, has attended Kids Planet since April 2021.
The manager, SENCO and all the room staff are all amazing. They go out of their way to not only make sure your child is happy when they go to nursery but that as parents you are happy and well-communicated with.
My little
boy has come on leaps and bounds in the pre-school room and you can tell the staff are as happy about his progress as I am as his mum.
The facilities are brilliant and the children enjoy outside time every day.
I can’t recommend this nursery enough.

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.
