Welcome to Kids Planet Fulwood! The nursery operates from a stunning Victorian building with bright spacious rooms which are bursting with children’s next sense of adventure. The enchanted garden, brand new in October 2019, is a great place for children to explore and build friendships. They have an exceptionally large outside space all around the building and this really sets them apart from the local area. They are most proud of the staff team who are genuine, caring and most of all great fun. The teaching team are trained to the highest level and it is their support and respect for each other which makes Fulwood such a gorgeous nursery to be a part of.

Fantastic nursery, perfect for my son. He loved nursery every day, he loves the environment mainly outdoors which is perfect! Always comes home dirty at the end of the day, which tells a good story. Nursery nurses are all lovely and the sports coaches are fab, he gets to play football every day. Thank
you to all the crew - we will miss you.

Review from Shaun S (Father of Child) published on 2 July 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The review really should be from our little girl who absolutely loves going there. She’s been there for around 2 months now and the growth in her development has really accelerated, which is helped by being nurtured around other children. I like the facilities they have to offer and the energy and effort
the staff put in to celebrate what’s going on in the world, making each day different and getting the children involved. The food has great variety and they really take time to tailor the needs of your child which I can’t imagine is easy with the amount of children they have. Overall we are extremely happy with our choice of nursery, it was the stand out candidate from the start

My child really settled well after a difficult time moving house. Staff are very supportive and are caring towards individual needs! Activities seem fun and craft activities especially are appreciated by my child. My son's speech has really improved and he has come out of his shell and made a lot of
friends.

Kids Planet Fulwood have been great in working with me to accommodate my daughter's additional needs. They have supported me through the process of getting an EHCP from the start and happily agreed to me deferring her for a year.
They are professional, responsive and proactive.
Both my kids love it
here.

As a father to a toddler who's first language is Polish, it was important for me and for my son to feel safe and well looked after.
This nursery given me and mostly my son all was as parents were looking for. Family friendly and happy atmosphere where my son learned English really fast.
Staff is like
a family to him by now and he will be really sad to move on to school.

My son is a very strong and challenging character, who certainly keeps everyone on their toes. The entire staff are a fantastic caring team. They have worked closely with me on pushing my son's communication and behaviour where it needs to be and he us a much happier and less frustrated child. All the
staff at Kids Planet, especially the pre-school, really make my son's experience personal. I feel like he's important to them. Thank you all for taking the stress of parents and giving us the confidence that we are leaving our son in great care and in a loving environment.

I think Kids Planet Nursery is a lovely environment for children. All staff have welcomed my child into the setting and helped her settle in quickly. I feel my child is safe and well looked after. I was very worried about my child starting in pre-school however, she now loves it and I feel safe and
happy about her being here.
All staff are fab and friendly!

I have never had an issue with this nursery.
Always worked with me to better my children - we have had slight issues at home with attitude and moods, nursery supported me and provided a book and mood faces that helped. My children have made many friends and happy relationships with both other children
and teachers.

Our child has settled in so well into the baby room at Kids Planet Fulwood. All the staff have made us feel really welcome and have shown the greatest care for our child. The team in the baby room have got to know our child really well and have made us feel so confident and comfortable leaving her there.
Would highly recommend Kids Planet Fulwood.

Our daughter loves Kids Planet Fulwood, she started in Toddlers room. Staff and activities are excellent, our little girl was always happy and safe with plenty to do! She is now in 'rising 3's' and loving that too! Staff in rising 3's are brilliant, all the children always look so happy, there is so
much for children to do! We love it! Management and deputy are fantastic too, always friendly as are all staff and helpful too. Fantastic nursery, even the chef is great.

Review from William C (Father of Child) published on 7 November 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Kids Planet took over in January and run this place into the ground.
Staff turnover is horrendous. A different staff member every day, giving no continuity for the children.
As such, there's no formal tracking of education and no feedback of progress. To the extent you question if they are doing any
education or is it a glorified babysitting service. And an expensive one at that, especially as the first thing Kids Planet did on take over, was to hike up the price considerably. This was especially hard to take, as the quality of service declined significantly.
The food menu went from being freshly cooked, nutritionally beneficial and plentiful to the whole class sharing food such as a pizza every day.
We feel like Kids Planet attempted to con us out of money, along with all of the other parents. Each month, they would include a £50 charge on our invoice. We paid thinking the pupil premium was part of the payment.

I've been with Kids Planet Fulwood since before it changed hands and the standards/level of care has been excellent throughout. The staff are friendly and so understanding, and my son always comes home happy and content with a full day of activities. The app has been extremely helpful and the communication
via it has been great however face to face communication could be improved as sometimes it does feel like all I do is find out about things from the app. However, I and my son could not be happier with Kids Planet and the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little one has been attending this nursery for over 12 months now, and we're so glad as he's come on leaps and bounds in this time. He always looks forward to going; enjoying the wide range of activities, great food, and is very fond of the staff too. The nursery manager and her team work tirelessly
to provide such a quality learning environment for the youngsters. They've been of great support to us too, as we're caring for vulnerable children; going out of their way to support and guide us through our early days. I am very impressed with the level of experience, commitment and enthusiasm of all the staff, which shines through. They've had to adapt quickly to the issues that come with dealing with COVID. We've been kept well informed of any measures being introduced. The way in which they've dealt with COVID has been very clever, as the measures that they've put in place protect the children, but don't in any way impinge on the "having fun whilst learning" ethics. Highly recommended

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.786)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.786) out of 10 for Kids Planet Fulwood is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.814 for Kids Planet Fulwood is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 177 Ratings = 4.814
  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 4.972 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Fulwood is based on 14 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.972
  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.
