Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 9 months old. She has come out of her shell so much since she started nursery and gets excited every week when I tell her where she is going. The care and attention she gets from all the ladies are amazing! Her face lights up when she sees everyone.

My little girl is flourishing under the guidance and care of the staff at Kenton Park Nursery. She is growing in confidence every single day and is always so happy and friendly. I genuinely believe she is doing so well because of the environment she is in. When we are out and about she always waves
hello to other children and has such a caring attitude. I’d 100% recommend this nursery to all parents. I already do!

We chose this nursery as it was recommended by friends. We have struggle's with separation anxiety but her keyworker has been amazing helping her get through this. I would absolutely recommend this nursery to all, the staff and managers are a credit to the company and I can't wait to see how much more
they bring my daughter on.

A thoroughly professional nursery with a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. My child is extremely happy attending. Daily feedback regarding my child is given and any issues are openly discussed.
The staff are friendly, approachable and knowledgeable.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of our children have attended Kenton Park Nursery and it is truly a loving and supportive environment for any child. The staff throughout show a genuine interest in each child and work to ensure they meet the needs of each individual.
I would, without a doubt, recommend this nursery and pre-school
to any parent and we feel very fortunate that we have had the luck for our children to be nurtured in such a loving environment in their early years.

Review from Caroline S (Mother of Child) published on 18 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
This nursery has been great for our daughter. The staff are very caring towards her and she is very settled there. My daughter is always offered three meals a day and given a nap. I am always informed with regards to the quantity she has eaten and length of time she has slept. There have been a couple
of times where she was in the accident book, one occasion a staff member stood on her hand which I understand is an accident but maybe staff could be more cautious. Overall I am very happy with my choice of nursery.

Overall I am happy with Kenton Park Nursery, with the staff and resources being good. The only improvement I would like would be if the staff gave a little more information on what your child had been like that day, what had been done and if there had been any problems/good feedback.

An excellent nursery, staff exceptionally caring and friendly towards both parents and children. Excellent polities in place and if my son has a minor accident all procedures are followed and paperwork completed.
Routine and structured learning, with opportunities for free play. My son runs into nursery
with joy and excitement and doesn't want to leave on a night!
I would recommend this nursery to everyone.

Ever since my little boy started at the nursery he has loved it. The staff are so friendly and make you feel so welcome. It has brought him so much with his talking and learning different things. He always talks about the staff and knows them by name. He will always tell me what he does at nursery if
out in garden or painting or singing which to me means he enjoys every minute and always loves the food which is home cooked, which is great. Overall a great family feel to the nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter couldn't be happier at Kenton Park. She adores her key worker and doesn't even look back when I drop her off in the morning! The nursery staff have gone above and beyond what we expected in developing our daughter and supporting her as she does have some extra needs.
They are so lovely
with all the kids and you can see every day how happy they are there. We have recommended the nursery to several friends who now have their children in the nursery and are as happy as we are with everything there. They've got my baby eating more food, and coming on with all aspects of her development. We are so impressed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kenton Park is a fantastic nursery school. It has excellent management who lead by role-modelling an ethos that is seen throughout the nursery. The staff are friendly, caring, hands-on and really get to know the children - and what is important to them. I feel confident that my son is really well
looked after when he is at the nursery. He enjoys the activities and time with the staff. I can see that his time at the nursery nurtures his confidence and he feels supported in his own development.


This is his last year at the nursery - we will really miss it. It is a fabulous place and I would highly recommend for babies and children.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.982)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.982) out of 10 for Kids Planet Kenton Park 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.982 for Kids Planet Kenton Park is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.982
  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 Kenton Park is based on 14 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6, which has been reached with 14 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2008

I have been nursery manager here since 2008, but I have been in childcare for over 20 years. My passion to work with children was ignited when I had my own children. I work with a fantastic team, with most of them being long term staff members. I hold a Diploma in Early Years Practice Level 5. I am also the nursery’s Designated Safeguarding Lead. I feel so proud of the nursery that I have had the pleasure of being a part of for so many years.
