My granddaughter has been attending Twinkles from being in the baby room.


She is due to move to preschool in September and I couldn't be more impressed at her development. She is fully potty trained, has perfect speech and is extremely independent.


I couldn't recommend the nursery enough, the

staff are kind and caring and put everything into the child's development.

My little boy has been coming to Twinkles since April. He loves coming to Nursery and has come on leaps and bounds. He has grown in confidence. The staff are a credit to the nursery.

Over the four years that my children have attended Twinkles Nursery I have been very happy. The staff at Twinkles Nursery are very friendly and always really approachable. The activities carried out with the children are always fun and educational and my children always make positive comments about
this. The relationships built between staff/key workers and my children have been strong and made their time at nursery so much more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Twinkles Nursery.

My son has been going to the nursery for a few months now. You can tell he loves going and I think it has helped him develop both socially and his skills. I would recommend the nursery to anyone.

Cannot fault the guys who work at Twinkles. They always make sure that my child continues her learning and development. I receive updates through the capture programme, this really helps me know exactly what she has been doing. I also get updates when I get the chance to pick her up. They also have
stay and plays which I really enjoy as I get to see first hand what they do on a day to day basis. Their Ofsted rating of outstanding is well merited. The staff in this nursery go well above and beyond to make sure that all the children get the best start in life and I think that this does go unnoticed a lot!


Keep up the fantastic work.

My daughter has been attending Twinkles Wetherby since April 2018 and I have been so impressed with the care she has received. She has come on leaps and bounds with her speech and walking and really enjoys her nursery days! She comes up to me happy at the end of the day; well fed, with a clean nappy
and occasionally spots of paint.


Since she has been attending, her confidence has grown in new situations and she is far more adventurous and open to change. It's been so reassuring to know she is well taken care of with lots of cuddles and gentle encouragement while I have returned to work.

Review from Lucy W (Mother of Child) published on 13 April 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely wonderful nursery. The staff are very caring and take time to get to know your child. They make sure that children are stimulated throughout the day and have different themes running at different times to keep the children interested and engaged. My son started at 12 months old having been
to a different nursery before and was offered loads of settling in sessions. I could just tell that he was happy there and remains to be. One of the things that set Twinkles apart is that the staff really care. I once asked one of the staff whether she would cuddle my son if he was upset and she said of course but she would also look at why he was upset eg if he was frustrated, wanted a toy or had some other reason for being upset and would comfort him in the most appropriate way for the circumstances. The staff really think about and engage with the children. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Fab, fab, fab! My son has been in the ‘Baby Stars’ room for a few months now and he settled really quickly and absolutely loves it! The staff are absolutely fantastic and I can’t praise them enough. They are really friendly and develop excellent relationships with the children. My son has come on in
leaps and bounds. They have also been especially accommodating in relation to some food allergies that he has.

My child enjoys going to this nursery. I think the range of activities and the progress she has shown in her learning are excellent.
The staff are attentive and caring and clearly experienced.
I like the online tools to enable me to see what my child is doing.

Review from Debs (Mother of Child) published on 1 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The care in this nursery varies dramatically from room to room. More thought needs to go into the parent and child's needs as opposed to how the staff want to care for your child on a day to day basis. The staff are young and with very few of them actually being mothers themselves. I don’t feel they
fully understand basic requirements sometimes.

My son enjoys going to nursery, they always make him feel welcome they have good structure so he knows what to do when he gets there. I think is really important as they get older and become more independent before school.
Staff always friendly and welcoming. Good feedback at the end of the day, so
no complaints.

My daughter loves it here. The staff are friendly, highly professional and really care about the children. They have encouraged her development and make every day varied and interesting through an array of activities. She reaches for her keyworker on arrival which demonstrates the bond between them
and I leave for work feeling happy and assured she is in such capable hands.
I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for childcare providers.

The nursery is very welcoming.
Every member of the team is friendly and make you feel at ease.
I'm surprised how quickly my daughter has taken to coming to nursery. I am never concerned when I leave her and have full trust in the team I leave her with. The staff in the baby star room are so informative,
they always make sure you know exactly what's happened in my daughter's day.
The capture early years system that the nursery uses is a great idea.

My eldest (2.5) has been at Twinkles since May 2014, and my youngest (9 months) is about to start. I feel a lot more confident returning to work after my 2nd maternity leave because I know my baby will be in safe hands. She's attended several settling in sessions already and seems comfortable in her
surroundings, enjoying lots of new toys, sights & sounds. I'm also really happy that my eldest enjoys his days, has varied activities, learns lots and is a sociable, happy little boy. The staff are all very friendly and personable and take the time to get to know the children individually.

I have used Twinkles Wetherby for both my children, my youngest is still there, my oldest is now in school, but still attends the holiday club run by Twinkles and the breakfast and after school club.
Both children thrived at Twinkles and formed great relationships with the staff.
Having used the
nursery since 2011 it is lovely that there is still a number of staff that are still working there today.
The activities that the kids do, both planned and on the spur of the moment, are great with plenty of walks out into the local community as well. Food always sounds great with a very varied menu.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Twinkles Wetherby.

My child attends Twinkles Wetherby and they are fantastic with her needs. My child recently broke her leg and all staff members made sure that she could join in with every activity for that day. She is learning everything super quick and it's all thanks to the nursery. I would always recommend Twinkles
Wetherby.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.714)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.714) out of 10 for Kids Planet Wetherby 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 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 4.933 for Kids Planet Wetherby is calculated as follows: ( (112 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.933
  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 4.781 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Wetherby is based on 10 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.781
  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.

Louise Newsome

Job Title: Nursery Manager

I am a proud mother of two independent, thriving boys who have pursued their unique interests with encouragement and determination. Supporting them on their journeys has been one of my greatest joys.


Coming from a family of carers—including my mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, who were all in the medical field—I have always been inspired by a love for nurturing and supporting others. This led me to a fulfilling career in childcare, where I managed a nursery for over 12 years, from 2008 to 2020.


Having travelled and lived across the globe, I deeply value diversity and inclusion. These experiences have given me a broad understanding of different cultures and ways of life, which I aim to incorporate into our nursery to help children embrace the world’s diversity as they grow and learn.


My focus will always be on providing the best possible care and opportunities for our children to thrive, whatever their individual abilities may be.
