My child has really thrived during her time at nursery and this is all down the hard work of the incredible team who work there. The manager of the nursery is excellent and does a great job of ensuring that each individual child's needs are met. My child's key worker is brilliant and again understands
how to get the best from my little girl.
My hope is that now the nursery has been taken over it doesn't become too corporate, as the family feel to Squirrel Nutkins is what makes it so special.

Can't fault the staff for all they do for my son. Management are excellent, the only downfall is head office and trying to sort invoice issues with them. The nursery themselves are brilliant and my son thrives so much under their care.

My son has been in the baby room for over a year now he loved it, he is downstairs now so hopefully he will love it just as much as upstairs. My big issue is monthly invoices are mainly wrong. Plus why we still had to pay for the week the nursery was closed I still don't understand it, when it was your
choice to close the nursery over the festive period.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was apprehensive about my two boys going to a nursery due to a bad experience with my two older boys.
We visited the nursery to look around and from the minute we went in we knew it was where we where going to place our boys. The staff where friendly and welcoming and the nursery had a good atmosphere.
The children all seemed happy. Staff had them engaged in activities.
During the visit my two boys straight away felt comfortable enough around the staff to play with them and talk to them.
From them starting at the nursery they have supported us with our child who has needed additional support. They communicate with us all the time about both boys. Having the use of the parent app to be able to see the boys progress is amazing. We definitely made the correct choice putting the boys at Squirrel Nutkins Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Squirrel Nutkins Nursery is amazing! My child absolutely loves going to nursery and I love that each parent can view what their child has been doing personally, via the parent app. The staff are fantastic, this is what really makes our child want to keep coming back for more. He is always coming home
with exciting things to tell us. We had originally been to another local nursery, which sadly had to close its doors permanently due to the pandemic. It was the nursery my older boy had been to, so I was nervous about moving to a new one, however, if I am really honest, Squirrel Nutkins is far, far better. We were happy with the old nursery but was very much “daycare” rather than lots and lots of fun, learning and caring which is what we get from Squirrel Nutkins. Thank you to all the staff, we would 100% recommend this nursery to other parents.

At Squirrel Nutkins nothing is too much trouble. The staff are so friendly, kind and warm and go above and beyond every day in the care which they provide for my boys. I am so happy with the choice I made and grateful to each and every one of the staff members who allow me to go to work, safe in the
knowledge that my children will receive the highest quality of care possible. I would highly recommend Squirrel Nutkins to any new parent.

A fantastic nursery that provides endless support, activities and care from the beginning. My son has been attending since he was 7 months old and Squirrel Nutkins has been a huge factor in his progression. We could not have found a better place to start his learning and the staff are also wonderful.

Outstanding nursery. Nothing is ever too much trouble. They really have been my saving grace since covid commenced. My child has grown and developed so much since attending Squirrel Nutkins. Such a positive environment for any child to thrive in which is why I wouldn't think of anywhere else to send
my 2nd child.

My daughter joined Squirrel Nutkins in March last year. Since attending she has come on leaps and bounds and is always happy going into the nursery. This was so lovely and such a relief as she had problems adjusting to a previous setting. Staff are professional, cheery and always happy to help. I always
feel confident leaving my daughter in their care.

My boy, now in school, attended Squirrel Nutkins nursery and thoroughly love it which bought him out of his shell ready for school, which I’m very grateful for. My other boy started when he was 3 months he’s currently in the baby room and he has developed so well. Now recently changed hands, the nursery
is still fabulous and amazing. It’s such a warm and friendly environment. The staff are very welcoming with a smiley and bubbly attitude. Their passion and commitment to caring for children shine through daily. My son's face lights up every time I drop him off. Thank you!

Both my daughters have attended Squirrel Nutkins. The staff are absolutely amazing, the nursery really does feel home from home and the management team are always on hand when you need them. Newly extended, the nursery now has plenty of floor space downstairs with different areas for the children to
explore. The staff are amazing, my daughter will miss them so much when she starts school in September. If you are looking for a nursery, look here and you won't look back.

Sending our son to Squirrel Nutkins is one of the best decisions we've ever made! His development rapidly progressed in the first month of him starting and he's continued to absolutely flourish whilst being in nursery. The girls are fantastic, they've always got a smile on their face when they open
the door to greet us and they've always got time for you if you have any questions. The parent website is always updated with loads of pictures of our son so we get to see what he's up to and he has a smile on his face in every photo! At the end of each day we also get a report of everything he's done, including; activities, what he's eaten and how much, how long he's slept etc. I highly recommend Squirrel Nutkins, I wouldn't send my son anywhere else!

Excellent nursery, cannot recommend them enough. My daughter has always been quite shy and clingy, but she settled in brilliantly straight away and I have never had any concerns. She has now been there for over 2 years and will hate to see her leave when she leaves for school next year.

Treat every child as family. My daughter had a seizure before we were aware she was epileptic and the staff showed true love and commitment to her care. They are incredible and wouldn’t change a thing about them. Also looked after my eldest and safeguarding was incredibly well taken care of.

My son moved nurseries to Squirrel Nutkins a few months ago and has settled in quickly thanks to the attentive, caring and fabulous staff. The learning and development opportunities they provide on a daily basis are wonderful which have enabled my son to improve his speech and langauge in the last few
months. The nursery is always spotlessly clean and tidy. The home-cooked food is loved by my son who has previously been a fussy eater but now eats whatever is put in front of him at nursery! The different activities set up each day on the tables allow for imaginative play and development. An outstanding nursery all round which I highly recommend.

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.
