Review from C L (Mother of Child) published on 28 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Staff are all very attentive to our daughter's needs and receptive to any changes in her routine/feeding.
The app used by the nursery could be better used, ie, more information about activities that day, and more photo updates (currently 1x monthly photo).
Our daughter, who is 18 months old now, had
really blossomed in terms of her speech, mobility & confidence and we feel this is in part due to the staff, but also because children of different ages mix together throughout the day.

Review from Carolyn B (Mother of Child) published on 16 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with Kids Planet. The staff are so enthusiastic and positive about our daughter's development. She settled in quickly to the new routine at 11 months and is thriving from the environment at nursery at 22 months. Her speech is coming on, weaning got loads easier and she loves the
routine. Whilst it may be part of her personality, nursery has honed in on her needs and she's sociable, confident and independent. The feedback on the app is great in terms of meals, snacks, naps & nappy changes so we always know what's been happening. It made the transition back to work so much easier knowing she was in such safe and caring hands. I'm confident they're experts in childcare and I know she's happy there because she's visibly excited to go in every day. Whilst I would like them to have a better outdoor/ garden area with more space, they make great use of the space they do have.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (7.994)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (7.994) out of 10 for Kids Planet Gateshead is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 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 4.583 for Kids Planet Gateshead is calculated as follows: ( (15 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.583
  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 3.411 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Gateshead is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 35 number of registered child places is 7. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 7 = 0.286
  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.
