Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is the best nursery. I could have chosen for my child. They were so patient with him, given his separation anxiety, and the fact that he still wouldn't eat solids at the age of one, they are so accommodating, and they truly care for my child as if he was their own child, I get lots of updates.
They serve nutritional food and they are so happy to speak to me at the end of the day, every day. Give me a rundown of what they say about him. I can really feel the love from the carers here for my son. They are truly a group of exceptional staff whom I am so happy to look after my child given I am someone who really struggled leaving my child at nursery. They have made me feel so reassured and the activities and the learning that they give at this nursery are also outstanding. My child has truly blossomed and his development has come along amazingly since starting nursery.

Wonderful, loving, and caring women. They took professional care of my child and help us every day. They have excellent knowledge of how to care for children. By receiving photos with descriptions of the activities, we know more about what our children are doing under their care.

I couldn't be happier with the care that everyone at Altofts provides for my little boy. He only attends one day a week and sometimes gets upset when I leave but all the staff are so lovely with him, they welcome him in with a big cuddle, send me pictures throughout the day and then tell me all that
he has been doing when I pick him up. My little boy has formed a lovely relationship with the ladies that work there and I feel happy knowing that he is well looked after. Thank you so much for all that you do, it doesn't you noticed.

I couldn't fault the care my daughter gets from the baby room at this nursery. Staff are always so friendly caring and so so invested in my child and I can tell this purely from the reactions from my daughter but also the interactions I see and the communication I receive. My daughter is quite behind
when it comes to walking/crawling and they've always encouraged and tried to help her get her going when it could be easy just to let her shuffle around.
I would recommend this nursery in a heartbeat.
Thank you!

My Grandchild is extremely happy to go here dispite his communication difficulties. The staff spend extra time helping him with his communication. The one thing that stand out to me is when you go to pick him up, your not left waiting outside and often are invited into the room to get them yourself
whilst still playing. Often nursery ask you to wait outside side. The staff are extremely caring and you can just tell what a lovely bond they have with the children. It isn't very often you here children crying.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kids Planet Altofts is wonderful. From day one, the staff have built strong, loving routines with my children, and they get genuinely excited to see their key workers. Communication is excellent, I am always updated on meals, activities, nappy changes, and any injuries. My toddling daughter's little
bumps are handled with care; staff speak to me in person immediately and upload detailed records to the parent portal. The nursery is safe and secure, with padlocked doors and thoughtful safeguarding. The outdoor provision is amazing, stimulating and fun. I also love the photos of my children engaging which are regularly uploaded. Both the Babies and Toddlers rooms adapt to my children's needs, and my son's speech has improved tremendously thanks to their support. The environment is calm, nurturing, and warm, and the staff are kind, professional, and flexible. I could not ask for a better nursery, my children are happy, safe, and thriving.

Overall, it's a brilliant experience. My son has additional needs and the staff have been consistently supportive. I wouldn't hesitate to go to them for advice or any concerns. The only downside has been the number of staff who have left, though I understand this isn't always avoidable. The lady who
works directly with my son is fantastic: approachable, kind, and genuinely caring.

All the girls who work at the nursery are absolutely amazing. They are so welcoming, kind and genuinely care about the children. My twins love going every single day and are always so excited to see the staff. The girls make the nursery feel like a safe, happy environment and I can see how much my little
ones have grown in confidence since starting. I couldn't ask for better people to look after my children - they truly go above and beyond.

My child has attended the baby bungalow since August 25 this year. as a very anxious parent the staff have always tried there best to give me all the reassurance I needed to keep my mind as calm as possible, all the staff are lovely and you can see the genuine care from them towards the children. With
lots of different indoor and outdoor activities and lovely cooked meals! It didn't take them long to understand my child and his needs and what he likes and dislikes with plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day and my child is always happy and smiling to be at the nursery with the staff and his little baby friends! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a safe , caring nursery environment for there little one!

One of the best nurseries I have sent my children to. My daughter is two years old she can't wait to go to the nursery in the afternoon. She loves it there. The staff are so nice and always ready to help. I could not compliment the staff enough at the Altofts Kids Planet Nursery. My daughter also loves
the meals at the nursery. The whole nursery is perfect. I will definitely be sending my youngest daughter to this nursery too.

We were made to feel very welcome during the settling in period. She's had a very good start and it is obvious how well looked after she is and will continue to be.
The communication from nursery is excellent and gives a sense of peace of mind for us parents.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. My child started here after attending another nursery. The staff at Altofts couldn't have been more helpful. They immediately put us at ease and we instantly felt at home. Every day at pick up my child he has the biggest smile on his face and cannot wait to tell us about
their day. The staff are absolutely incredible and also keep us informed on my child's day. Nothing this too much for them. I wish I had made the move for my child sooner.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child moved to this setting in September 2024 after previously attending one of the larger settings in the group of nurseries. This setting is smaller and more intimate, which has helped my child's confidence massively, all of the staff are so lovely and attentive and you can see they work hard to
build great relationships with the children. This shows with how comfortable my child is when I drop him off and when I come to collect him and see him enjoying playing with his friends or sat in the reading corner reading a book with a member of staff. They always give a detailed handover of how your child has been through the day, what they have been up to and how they have eaten, as well as updating the app throughout the day too. The nursery facilities and outside space are great and always really clean. There is always lovely homemade meals served at meal times and healthy snacks offered throughout the day. My child loves this nursery setting and I'm very happy that we made the move.

My son started full time at 7 months, as I needed to return to work. We are pleased so far with the care from Kids Planet Altofts. Our son has allergies and this was a worry for me, but the app and staff communicate well in relation to this.
All staff are friendly and helpful on pick up and drop off
and he seems to have settled well. It is nice to receive the app updates of him getting opportunities to play and learn in a different way and he genuinely seems to be thriving.

Our experience with Kids Planet Altofts has been exceptional. From the day my daughter came to this nursery, the experience has been wonderful and she thoroughly enjoys her time there. They have always been so accommodating with settling her in at her own pace, and always being so smiley and friendly
so she felt welcome. They are so good at challenging her so she tries new activities and doing things she really enjoys.

My son started at the baby bungalow in October and has come on leaps and bounds in all aspects of his development since starting. I was nervous at first leaving him when starting back work but the staff are lovely and really helped reassure me and ease my worry with regular updates of him throughout
the day. He loves nursery and is excited to be handed over to the nursery staff on a morning. You can tell they have a great bond. I would highly recommend Kids Planet, especially the baby bungalow.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.739)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.739) out of 10 for Kids Planet Altofts 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.739 for Kids Planet Altofts is calculated as follows: ( (322 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 379 Ratings = 4.739
  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 Altofts is based on 30 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 30 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.
