Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attends hollingarth nursery and my experience with this nursery is 10/10.
The staff are always so warm and welcoming and my son has built a really good bond with all the members of staff who take care of him.
Every member of staff is always so polite.
The rooms and facilities at hollingarth
are 10/10.
My son has come home and has always had a busy day full of activities and learning and this makes it alot easier knowing he's had a fun and exciting day at nursery.
The hot meal variety is brilliant and there is always something that my son will eat they cater to his egg allergy also.
I recommend this nursery for anyone who's looking for a nursery for their child you will not be disappointed.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.086) out of 10 for Kids Planet Hollingarth 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Kids Planet Hollingarth is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.086 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Hollingarth is based on 1 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 = 3
    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. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.6 = 0.086
  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.

Nicola Lauderdale

Job Title: Nursery Manager

I joined Hollingarth Nursery in 1998 as an apprentice in the baby room and have been part of the nursery ever since. Over the past 27+ years, I’ve grown into my current management role, gaining a strong understanding of every stage of a child’s early years, from babies to confident preschoolers.


I am the nursery’s Designated Safeguarding Lead and hold Early Years Professional Status, alongside paediatric first aid and ongoing training to keep my knowledge up to date.


What I love most is building positive relationships with families and watching children grow in confidence, independence and curiosity. I’m incredibly proud of our team and the warm, nurturing environment we create for every child at Hollingarth.
