Review from T G (Mother of Child) published on 2 September 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been to Little Angels holiday club for the last 6 years. She has had so many experiences and explored a variety of places which in her words ‘Are much more fun with my friends than you’ She has a special bond with all the staff and I know she is well cared for and safe with them. The
main thing I love is that they are always out and about, not stuck in playing video games or on computers which seems to be becoming the norm. She enjoys the nutritious meals provided by the cook who she says cooks much better than me. I can’t recommend the club enough so if you need holiday or after school care, give them a try.

Review from Chris S (Father of Child) published on 29 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I now have my second child moving through the nursery and I have nothing but praise for all of the staff and management. The standards that they work to with the children are exceptional and both of my children have loved attending. My eldest child is now at school but at the time of attending the nursery,
she regularly came home beaming about what she had been up to that day, and even re enacted at home with her teddies some of the exercises they did in the nursery. The staff and management clearly have a passion for what they do and I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone. A special mention to the kitchen staff too who regularly serve up great healthy food. Thank you for everything you've all done for both of my girls.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended Little Angels since she was 11 months old and absolutely loves it.


The facilities are excellent and the range of activities she gets up to is so varied and she learns so much.


The staff in the rooms are fabulous and have a real bond with the children.


The management

team are always very friendly and helpful.


It's really important to me to be able to go to work knowing my little girl is happy and Little Angels does that.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.488)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.488) out of 10 for Kids Planet Longley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 17 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 4.964 for Kids Planet Longley is calculated as follows: ( (189 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 195 Ratings = 4.964
  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 4.524 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Longley is based on 17 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.925
    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 142 number of registered child places is 28.4. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 28.4 = 0.599
  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.
