Review from F R (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter's love going to nursery. They have made lots of friends and have great relationships with every member of staff that has been apart of their time at nursery.
The app is always updated and there are lots of posts about what they have been doing each day.
They do a variety of activities
and both have come on in leaps and bounds in all aspects of their development.
My eldest will be starting school in September and I am confident she is will excel because of her time at waterside.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.892) out of 10 for Kids Planet Waterside 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.892 for Kids Planet Waterside is calculated as follows: ( (226 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.892
  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 Waterside is based on 21 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6, which has been reached with 21 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.

Sophie Hodgson

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2021

My name is Sophie and I am the manager at our Waterside site in Hessle.
I was delighted to return to the company in May 2021 having previously worked for company in 2019/2020. I have worked with children for 25 years and have lot of varied experience along the years, including 1:1 learning support, nursery nursing and previous managerial roles. I have supported children between the ages of 0-11 years, providing stimulating, enjoyable and educational environments and working closely with their families alike too.
Every child is unique and being able to guide them towards progression in all stages of development is the most rewarding part of my role. I love to see that little twinkle in their eye when they have understood something new and demonstrating the pride they have for themselves.
