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.

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!

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.

As a parent, I am kept up to date with his progress, and I am happy I decided on Kids Planet.

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.

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.
