Review from Hannah R (Mother of Child) published on 1 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Can't fault this Nursery and how they have helped settle my child - currently in Tots room but started in Baby room! The staff are amazing and communication is great. It is clear that they really care about the children individually and know them well. I trust that she is well looked after and I know
she feels comfortable and safe going as she can find separation from myself hard, but currently goes in smiling and excited for her day. New furniture, resources and look of Nursery are a positive improvement.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started kids planet after having a not so great start another nursery and I could not be happier with the way he has settled and the relationships he has already with all the staff. The teacher-parent communication is outstanding and I now feel totally at ease and comfortable with him being in
nursery and he gets excited to go and loves telling me about his day!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with Kids Planet Hartburn. Both of our children have attended here and currently our youngest goes. He loves it and the staff are kind, caring, nurturing and have been there a long time which is always a good sign! Communication is really good via the app and the nursery setting
is lovely (wooden resources, very neutral/calm). Would highly recommend this setting.

My daughter has only been at the nursery for a month but she is loving it! The staff are all friendly too! Her favourite thing is the big outdoor space she gets to play in everyday. I am sure she will continue to enjoy her days in nursery as the year goes on.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.554)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.554) out of 10 for Kids Planet Hartburn 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 4.979 for Kids Planet Hartburn is calculated as follows: ( (47 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.979
  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 3.575 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Hartburn is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.2
  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.
