The staff have been outstanding. My child enjoys going to the nursery. I've had no problems with the nursery's other staff. My child has made lots of progress at the nursery. Activities are brilliant, staff are amazing. Couldn't fault the nursery.

This nursery has helped my little girl become so confident, her speaking has come on loads and loads since being at this school her personality has come out more since behind at this nursery.
I wish I brought her to this nursery sooner because the other nursery was so bad but I have made the perfect
choice in sending my little girl to Kids Planet.
The staff are so friendly they keep you up to date with everything they give you advice if you need it it's the perfect nursery.

My little boy joined in Sept 2024 and as apprehensive as I was I knew he would be upset as he's quite clingy but the nursery staff have been nothing short of amazing.
Once he's there he's loving it and he's copying what he does at nursery at home now and it's so lovely to watch him.
The nursery always
keeps me updated if he's had an off day which is rare. I genuinely can't fault the staff at all. The nursery is always clean but also made fun for the children.
Such an amazing setting. My little one is coming on so much at home and I do believe this is from what he's learning and seeing at nursery even though he is very quiet when there. I can certainly confirm he makes up for it, especially at bedtime.
Amazing job by the assistant manager who is taking over whilst the manager is on maternity leave. She's such a lovely lady and a credit to Kids Planet Hall Lane.

My little brother goes here and he is getting so clever every day. He loves food at nursery because he won't eat with us now. He tries to do pictures for us now and likes to try playing games. I think he really loves it at Nursery and he will be sad when he has to go to school.

Review from S M (Mother of Child) published on 10 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Repeated physical abuse of my non-verbal disabled child in Kids Planet nursery.
My autistic son who is non-verbal and has ADHD was physically abused on multiple occasions in Kids Planet. The nursery manager waited until the last day of the term to inform us, but she said there was only one female staff
member who carried the abuse. It was a lie. West Yorkshire police told us it were two females. The nursery manager told us the horrendous details of the abuse in person but later on, Kids Planet's child protection officer phoned us and gave a milder/toned down version. We still contacted the police, but the police could only carry out the investigation based on the CCTV footage the nursery provided. The nursery chose to provide only six clips containing the abuse, so we don't know what information they withheld from the police and LADO. Kids Planet's management lied that the nursery had been cleared of any wrongdoing by Ofsted. Police informed us Kids Planet never contacted Ofsted.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children have attended since being 10/11 months old. Staff were fantastic with getting them settled in and were helpful with storing milk and comforting them as they were breastfed as babies which was amazing. They've both built strong bonds with all the staff and can see throughout the day
they are settled and happy with updates on the app. Been amazing helping both children's speech come along as both have been a little bit late in talking. Love that there's a large outdoor area for them to play in as well. Fantastic nursery, couldn't recommend enough.

My kid loves to be at the nursery. The staff are friendly and loving. I am happy he is in good hands, who help him learn and explore. I don't have to worry at all. He likes the storytime, activities, outings, messy play and sensory room.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kids Planet Hall Lane are absolutely amazing! I am so glad I chose this nursery for a second time (my first child attended a few years ago). They don’t miss a trick. My son had been getting some red marks around his mouth after eating and they called me after the first instance suggesting that we try
to remove dairy from his diet to see if this was the problem. I was so impressed with now quickly they acted, providing a full new menu and putting the needs of my son first. Whenever you enter the room for the day, they always ask how your child has been and you can tell them without any warning that you want a change in routine and they’ll do this for you. They work so closely with parents and I find this really reassuring. I could go on forever. But to summarise, I am so relaxed leaving my son with them. The staff are caring, attentive, fun and my son has come on leaps and bounds since joining them in January 2024. I would recommend them to anybody! 5 stars all round! Thank you.

I would really recommend this nursery my little girl has just started and she really enjoys it, it has helped her reach many milestones in such a short time. The room is always clean and tidy and the staff are amazing with the children. They work so hard to reach milestones for my daughter to be able
to grow and develop.

Excellent nursery, with very friendly knowledgeable staff who know every child inside out. Give great updates throughout the day as to what your child is up to. Fun activities. Teach independence from a young age. Always happy to help with any extra sessions. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The need for childcare for us came during a global pandemic. We felt it would benefit our little girl to have some other safe contact with other children and adults. It was also a need due to continuing to work through the pandemic.
Upon speaking to the nursery (owned by another company at the time)
we found comfort in the staff and decided to enrol our child there.
Since then we’ve not looked back and will be forever grateful for the nursery’s assistance with raising and teaching our little girl. We know she is safe and looking forward to picking her up to hear about her day.
She is always well-fed and loves the selection at the nursery - she enjoys outdoor and imaginative play which is always encouraged at the nursery. More so now as the new owners are introducing day trips - which we as parents think is excellent.
The staff at the nursery play a huge part in our little girl's life at the moment and we can see how hard they have and are continuing to work.

Kids always come out happy and have always done really good activities. The nursery goes out of their way to settle in children and kids are allowed to explore and be themselves, the takeover has been really good and I am seeing some positive changes. The only thing I am not overly keen on is the menu
but it is healthy and massive variety but some days I think it's not very kid friendly.

My little girl started here in late 2021 and it was the best decision we have made. My child has grown within herself by becoming more confident, trying lots of new foods and has learnt so much since starting. I regret not sending her here when I returned to work after maternity. The staff are all wonderful
and will always let you know about any problems your child is having or answer any questions you may have. You can tell they are all very passionate about their job and the care they have for the children. The site is very secure and takes pride in safeguarding. My second little girl will 100% be attending this site when I return to work - I cannot fault the staff at all.

My son has made such amazing progress with everything from speech to playing with other children and part of that credit should go to his nursery staff. He’s excited to see them every time he goes and he talks about them and his friends nonstop at home. Kids Planet have made me feel very comfortable
in leaving him without me for the time he’s gone and I’m never worried about him because I know he’s well looked after and having a great time.

Incredible nursery with incredible staff. My child always comes home happy and doesn't want to leave! She has excelled so much since coming to this nursery and I believe they have done a great job getting her ready to start her school journey. The nursery manager is so helpful and polite and always
on hand to answer any questions and the practitioners in the rooms are brilliant, three members especially.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.711)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.711) out of 10 for Kids Planet Wakefield Road is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.711 for Kids Planet Wakefield Road is calculated as follows: ( (304 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 360 Ratings = 4.711
  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 Wakefield Road is based on 28 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 28 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.
