My son has been at Kids Planet in Middlewich since September 2020 and we are so pleased. He absolutely loves going to nursery and settled really well. The staff are fantastic with all the children and the manager is very accommodating too. Nothing is too much trouble.

A fantastic nursery who really care about developing my children’s educational and emotional needs. A lovely team and a really nice setting. My children are in the preschool and baby rooms. The baby room has a separate room for them to sleep in which is also a sensory room. The preschool room has a
great outdoor space.

2 of my 3 children go to Kids Planet and they both absolutely love it. Nothing is ever too much and always very helpful. I cannot rate them enough. I was very nervous due to lockdown and the boys not used to being away from me, all the staff were extremely understanding and helped my anxiety as well
as the boys.

My little boy has been here since August 2021 and started in Toddlers. He loves every second of it and runs in so excited every morning and has on occasion refused to leave! I can’t imagine having him anywhere else! All the teachers and staff are wonderful and go above and beyond! It’s a wonderful nursery!

My son started earlier this year following a difficult few months and Kids Planet Middlewich were amazing and were not phased by anything. My son has come in so much in the time he’s been attending nursery.

Our daughter has come on lots since starting Kids Planet. She quite often says ‘yes’ when we ask if she wants to go to nursery.
We enjoy the updates, and particularly the assessments, which keep us informed of development.
Can’t wait to see how she develops further, with the staff's help.

My son has been attending since September 2021 and was 2 years 9 months. The staff have been amazing with him with helping him come out of his shell. He was shy and had a slight speech delay. He is now a very chatty little boy. Each morning I drop him off he can't wait to get through the gates and start
his day. He also can't wait to tell me all about his day when I collect.
The app is fabulous. It explains everything from nappy changing times and what they did to how much lunch they ate.
I was very anxious about sending my son to nursery as he has multiple allergies. Their red plate way of doing things is great. They also have someone sat with him to make sure he doesn't come into contact with any food he shouldn't. Makes me feel at ease knowing he is in good hands.
Would 100% recommend them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I could not recommend Kids Planet enough, the team in baby room have been so incredible with my little boy! He has come on so much and has started walking, he’s so sociable and smiles and laughs as soon as he sees the building! He initially was upset leaving me at the door but has now started walking
in himself and waving me off - I am naturally an anxious person but the staff have honestly made me feel so relaxed about leaving him in baby room - I couldn’t imagine him being anywhere else!
They are always so quick to update us via the app with anything through the day, and seeing the photos make mine and my husband's day. Our son has struggled to eat for himself but since being in baby room he is becoming so much more independent and confident at trying foods himself.
Nothing ever seems too much trouble for them, and they always go above and beyond. We definitely appreciate everything they do!

The staff have been wonderful, my daughter started a couple of months ago. Unfortunately due to Covid-19 restrictions you have to just leave them at the door but the staff provide regular updates. She’s gone from crying when I leave her to waving me off, she only goes a couple of mornings a week, this
shows me how happy she is going.

The girls have been exceptional at all points. Office staff have been great at keeping everything clear during Covid-19. The girls looking after my little one have continued to make sure the nursery is a fun and safe place for the children. Understanding and happy to work with parents if there’s any
kind of concern.

Absolutely amazing nursery that helped my little boy come out of his shell a lot, he was so attached to me so the staff took their time with him and were very patient with him. He always comes home saying he's had a great day. The staff are absolutely brilliant, lovely and friendly! Couldn't recommend
this nursery enough.

Our daughter is in the preschool room and has attended the nursery since the baby room. She loves it there and has built some good relationships with other children and the staff during her time there. The staff who look after her are really friendly and caring and she talks about them like they are
her friends. The communication is good and it’s great to get updates of what she is doing throughout the day via the app. The activities are varied and our daughter has lots of fun whilst learning new skills and getting her prepared for school. She has really enjoyed her time there so far and we’ll be sad to see her leave when it is time for her to start school.

My daughter's speech, language and social skills have come on leaps and bounds since going into pre-school at Kids Planet - Middlewich. She looks forward to going to nursery and has gained so much in confidence thanks to all of the hard working staff at the nursery who provide a safe, secure and enriched
environment for the children. Every day is carefully planned with plenty of activities, indoor and outdoor, that keep the children happy and entertained whilst learning and socialising with other children so that they are ready for school.

My child has attended this nursery since September 2018 after she had turned 1. The girls in every room have shown nothing but love and care for her. She’s currently in the preschool room, she loves going to nursery, always excited to go and happy when arriving and leaving, she always talks about the
girls and how much fun she’s had doing the various activities. Her development has grown so much and she’s such a confident clever little girl, with much support from the ladies to keep her development growing! Thank you to everyone who takes care of her! Such an amazing nursery and team!

Fantastic nursery my son has been going since he was in the baby room and is now in tots. He loves going and is always a little too pleased to leave us and get in! Great staff, great facilities and great communication.

My little girl is in the toddler room and attends full time. I cannot thank the staff in the toddler room enough, they are caring, nurturing and I wouldn’t leave my little girl with anyone else. As a full time working Mum, I am reassured daily by the staff and updated through the app with my little
girl’s progress. My little girl has no behavioural issues or sleep issues and she is thriving in the care of the staff in the toddler room at Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Middlewich. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. In every room that my daughter has been in at the nursery the staff are brilliant and the manager is too.
My other little girl also attended the nursery and attends the before and after school club and holiday club, she goes on the mini bus to school and tells me how wonderful the staff looking after her are. Kids Planet Day Nurseries -Middlewich is literally mine and my husbands lifeline and a massive part of our lives, thank you for all the hard work each and every one of you at Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Middlewich.

My daughter started at Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Middlewich when she was 12 months old. The staff are excellent, they are attentive, fun and my little girl runs straight in with a huge smile on her face ready to have another exciting day. She eats extremely well and there is such a wide range of healthy
food offered. The online learning log is great and I love to see updates of what she is doing throughout her day. The staff provide so many different activities week on week and she really has come on in confidence and her development both physically and mentally since joining. I would highly recommend the nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children (aged 2 and 4) attend Kids Planet and have done for the past 15 months when we moved to the area. I was nervous about uprooting my eldest as she was settled in a previous nursery but I didn’t need to worry, she quickly settled in with staff and made friends. My youngest started nursery,
for the first time, when he was 10 months old and has come on leaps and bounds. Every morning they are excited to attend nursery and this is a credit to the staff as they make it such a warm and welcoming environment. The management are very easy to contact and have often accommodated a last-minute change in nursery shifts. Communication has been excellent, via the app and letters home, especially with all the changes during the pandemic. The world has been in chaos but the children haven’t noticed (too much) as the nursery quickly adapted to a ‘new normal’ - I cannot 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.
