Excellent, my daughter has been attending The Wendy House since she was eight months old. I could go to work knowing she was safe and well looked after, always happy to go there always happy coming from there, all the staff are very friendly and the actual place has a lovely atmosphere. She will miss

Both of our daughters attend the Wendy House and thoroughly enjoy their time there. They get to spend lots of time outside playing when it's dry, which they love.
The food is of a good standard and varies each week.
All the staff are lovely and make you feel at ease with the thought of leaving your
children with them.
Our daughters have loved their time in every room they have been in and that is down to the fantastic staff.

Exceptional !!!


Our kids love attending The Wendy House. All members of staff are extremely professional, friendly and make a huge effort with every child, I've never seen them not smiling. Our 2 are always happy to go in in the mornings and are often excited about what they, their friends and teachers

will be doing that day.
The Nursery teachers have been amazing with the development of both children from speaking, sharing, playing, potty training, integration and even learning Welsh!
We're really impressed with the safety and security of The Wendy House which is a great factor when leaving your children for the day.
The food options are really good with a wide range of healthy options.
Another bonus for us was the different outside play areas and the fact they get to be outside as much as possible, Joining the Family app and being sent pictures of what they've been doing all week. I'll admit sometimes it's difficult to pick the kids up as they don't want to leave!

Fantastic nursery from the location, to the staff, to the food. Our daughter especially loves the drama classes provided by an external source. My only feedback in terms of areas of development would be moving to digital invoicing i.e away from paper.

My little girl has been at The Wendy House for 2 years now and I have no hesitation in recommending the nursery. When you arrive all staff are warm and welcoming. The nursery is very clean and my little girl comes home clean and tidy. My little girl is always happy when I collect her.
The girls who
care for the children are worth their weight in gold and are a real credit to the Manager.

Still fabulous! Lovely setting, lovely staff and so many fantastic activities for my bright, nearly 2.5-year-old daughter. Really good communication from the nursery to home and I always feel listened to with anything I have to share about my little one.
She goes in happily on her nursery days and
usually the struggles come when she has to stop playing with her friends and go home!

Our son is very well looked after here. Currently he is in Babies room, (1 of 4 rooms here) as they are grouped with similar ages/ability so they have the most appropriate care/toys/garden play areas. These different rooms each have there own individual conservatories and garden spaces.


We had a

few trying months with our son's stomach issues, at no point have we felt we were a burden, asking for complete menus. We have been reassured that it’s no problem, whilst we were checking through for food allergies. (Turns out more of a teething issue). Food is made by a talented cook there, so lots of good home cooked food.


The diaries are brilliant, you know exactly when little one has pooped/slept/the amount of food eaten.


Staff are always friendly and approachable, with lots of time and cuddles for your little one.


One evening some music came on at home and our son started to wiggle his hips and wave his arms! We were so surprised! We hadn’t taught him to dance - one of the lovely ladies at nursery had!

Having used The Wendy House for the past four years with my first daughter I had no hesitation in sending my second daughter. From the moment you ring The Wendy House, there is always a warm and welcoming voice greeting you at the other end.
The nursery is always spotlessly clean as are the children
when they get picked up.
All members of staff are genuinely caring and very approachable.
The nursery itself is a purpose built building with excellent facilities that cater for children of all ages. I cannot recommend The Wendy House and all its staff highly enough.

My children attend High Fives Holiday Club at this nursery. Lovely staff, professional environment. My children, a girl aged ten and boy aged eight, love attending the holiday club. There are healthy food options available and well structured, fun-filled days.
They have recently had a new play area
built for the children which they all love.

My husband and I couldn't be happier with the care our son received over the last 2 years. I was sad to see him leave to start school but the transition was seamless and I put this down tot he confidence he gained from going to The Wendy House. The outside space is brilliant and my son loved the chickens.
The management and staff are all friendly and approachable and my son always talked about them at home.

Fantastic nursery on all fronts.
Fantastic staff, setting, care and food.
My children have attended over the last 12 years and the quality of care has never faulted. The learning through play philosophy gives children, a priceless head start at school. I'd never recommend another. (And we love the
chickens).

Both boys are very happy here. The youngest was very attached to me and I worried about him settling into nursery, but they allowed an extended, gentle settling in period, provided a single key worker for him and now he is very settled and thriving.
Plenty of outdoor space separated by age grade and
frequent walks around the village and to the park provide the outdoor life and activities my boys need. No complaints or concerns at all. Thank you.

The Wendy House is an excellent nursery; staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Both my children are very happy here; my daughter has made many friends and is well prepared for moving on to primary school. My son was very shy, but being here has really helped him with his confidence, and
he now settles happily in the mornings. Staff also keep up to date with pre-school learning methods and curricula, so the move to primary school is as easy as possible. Overall very happy to have such a great nursery in our locality!

Exceptional care is consistently given to my 20-month-old little girl. She has made close bonds with the girls who are in the toddler room and is genuinely happy to see them each morning. All staff have an excellent rapport with my little girl and I. Information is communicated regarding activities,
eating etc each day and staff respond to all requests. I am very pleased with the variety of activities planned for my little girl every day, these have all helped her progress and develop rapidly and she is always eager to vocalise her enjoyment.
Both in and outdoor facilities are very modern and clean. The menus provided offer a well varied, healthy diet. I can't thank all od the staff enough for the care they give to my little girl - I truly feel confident and at ease when leaving her to go to work.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.885)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.885) out of 10 for Kids Planet Brynford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.941 for Kids Planet Brynford is calculated as follows: ( (191 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.941

  • b) 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 4.944 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Brynford is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.944

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
