Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My youngest daughter is there now and loves it. My eldest daughter was there several years ago and one of the loveliest things is that a lot of the staff have remained the same. I had no concerns leaving my youngest to go back work. The staff cannot do enough. Great nursery - would highly recommend.

My son has been attending kids planet clarence for around 18 months now. He was initially in the baby room which we absolutely llve. The girls were amanzing and he learnt so much whilst he was there. He has since moved down to the bigger room which is equally as good and he loves going into nursery.
His speech has improved significantly since being in the toddler room. The staff are all lovely and friendly and we get regular updates. Highly recommend.

Really amazing nursery! The staff genuinely care about the children. My little girl has just finished her settling in sessions, the whole experience has been exceptional. As a first time mum i was really nervous about leaving my little one, but the staff were so supportive. We did a gradual increase
into full time hours so I could go back to work with no worries! I get regular updates on everything she does and she leaps into her key workers arms every morning! All the staff get to know every child and it's so warm and welcoming, really can't recommend enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter absolutely loves this nursery, and the staff are outstanding - kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. She began in the baby room at 12 months, where the team were wonderfully nurturing, helping her settle, cuddling her to sleep, and meeting all her needs. When she transitioned downstairs,
she was welcomed by new key workers who have been equally amazing. Although she can be a little cheeky at times, the staff understand her perfectly and always make her feel cared for. I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery and have complete trust in the team. The meals, freshly prepared by the chef, are also fantastic.

his development has benefited massively from the staff that are involved with him. Massive thankyou to everyone at Kids Planet Clarence

Love this nursery so much, my daughter's nursery unexpectedly closed so we had to find a new nursery ASAP & this has been such a blessing in disguise! My daughter loves it here the staff are amazing with her and so patient. You can really tell they care about the children & it's not just a job for them.
I really do recommend this nursery. It takes so much to put trust in strangers to look after your babies but they make it so much easier here. Thank you.

The first child came from 1-4 3 days a week and loved it here. The second child is 2 and also loves it here. Love the open-plan downstairs space. Love they go on trips sometimes to the beach, pond and library. Would like more of this. Love the app. Both kids happy to attend from day 1!

Overall I think the nursery is amazing, my daughter loves it there.
I would like her to have more outdoor experiences such as trips though.
There is a lovely atmosphere when you enter the nursery and the manager is always willing to help. You can tell how much she loves all the children.

My little girl has recently started here and she absolutely loves it. The staff are incredible and her key worker is very involved which is lovely to see. I get regular updates and moments throughout the day which makes me happy to see that she is having the best time at nursery. The only thing I could
say is that it is very pricey but the care you receive is phenomenal. It would just be nice to see more value for money, like going out on more trips/outings, etc.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.870)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.870) out of 10 for Kids Planet Clarence 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.870 for Kids Planet Clarence is calculated as follows: ( (195 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.87
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Clarence is based on 18 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
