Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children have attended Castle House/Kids Planet and have been very happy here. My eldest was moved from another nursery where he was not happy and subsequently had a much better experience at Castle House. My youngest has been at CH since they were 8mths and is now almost 3 - it's a job to
get them to leave at the end of they day as they are having such a great time! All the staff are very caring and personable. They put a ton of effort into everything they do and its clear the children love them and have a lovely time learning and playing.

Our child has been here since they were 8 months, they are now 3 1/2. We cannot fault this nursery - he has always been well cared for, entertained and educated, and I can't think of a better place for him to be.

My son has attended castle house for 2 and a half years, and genuinely cannot say a bad word about this place. The staff have been amazing across all 4 levels, and have shown so much kindness and care throughout. Could not recommend it enough.

The nursery has been great in the time we have sent our daughter. The nursery staff have always been very polite and attentive to our needs at all times.


With our daughter only attending twice a week it's been more difficult for her to integrate in comparison to others that are attending nursery

more frequently. With that being said, I feel the nursery has done their best to ensure this gap is bridged as best possible.


Particular shout out to two members of staff who have really made it an enjoyable experience for our daughter and us parents so far (especially them moany sobby morning).

Castle House is a fantastic nursery with a warm and welcoming environment where children thrive. My daughter absolutely loves attending-she enjoys all the activities and has grown so much in confidence and learning since she started. The staff are incredibly supportive, always friendly and helpful,
and they truly care about the children. I really appreciate the regular updates on what she's been up to and what she's eaten, which keeps me well-informed. The nursery also goes above and beyond by organizing extra activities, celebrations, and events that my daughter is always excited to attend. I feel completely at ease leaving her in such a nurturing setting, and I highly recommend Castle House to any parent looking for a wonderful place for their child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am extremely happy with my experience since my son joined Castle House back in January 2024! My son has continued to thrive there and is growing into such a strong and confident little boy, and that is partly down to this nursery and the staff there!
He has had amazing key workers, who would do
anything to help and support him, showing him nothing but love and support at all times. Everyone is extremely helpful with any questions I may have too.
The staff is what makes Castle House in my opinion. They are all so lovely!

Our two children have both attended Castle House, and we are immensely satisfied with the nurturing they have received. Specialised care and attention have been dedicated to the provision for our youngest child, who has Special Educational Needs. The wonderful staff have consistently gone above and
beyond to support their needs and facilitate their transition to primary school. We are deeply grateful for their exceptional efforts.
We are confident that our child is safe and content in this setting, and we would not hesitate to recommend Castle House to prospective parents.

Castle House has been a fantastic nursery for our 3-year old daughter, who has attended toddlers and pre-school.
She has a hearing impairment, which they have supported very well. She also gets a lot of one to one time, which is excellent, and she shares a very special bond with her key worker.

We moved to the area in May. The little one had been at a nursery prior to Castle House. In no time at all he has become well settled there. He is incredibly happy and starts singing these days, as we approach the nursery in the morning. The staff have been fantastic. We get a full report each day on
what he's been doing, as well as being able to follow his progress on the app. We are confident that he is safe, secure and happy. Thanks to all at Castle House.

Amazing staff and great facilities. My girls are so happy here! I've seen so much progress in their development and that's a great testament to their key workers and all of their colleagues. They enjoy the wide array of yummy snacks and meals and are well-cared for even if they're feeling a bit emotional.
I highly recommend this nursery.

Excellent nursery all around. We'd looked at a few before committing and are really happy to have chosen Castle House. Our children love going and the attention they receive is evident. We're always kept up to date with how they're doing and the communication has been excellent. Overall we have no regrets.

The nursery has very friendly staff. There is great communication with parents. Most importantly, my child enjoys attending and is learning a lot.
This review was too short so now I am adding characters so it passed the content standards.

I could not be more happy with Castle Day, it’s such a caring and nurturing environment for my little one. He’s settled in so quickly and developing so fast, very happy to go in each day and smiles when he sees his friends and teachers. As a mum of three I’ve had a wide experience of nurseries and can
highly recommend it to anyone. They even have a pet tortoise!

They encourage children to be independent in a range of activities from an early age. They have good energy and that is reflected in the little ones. Although they are divided in ages, they have many opportunities to interact with other kids in different rooms.

This nursery is really nice. They do loads of messy play with the babies. The staff are really warm and post loads of pictures on the app. They are also so accommodating if you need to change days. I would definitely recommend. My baby also has a dairy allergy which is no problem at all.

Castle House is a wonderful nursery. My daughter is in pre-school, having attended since she was 8 months old and has gone from strength to strength there. The staff are fantastic and go above and beyond. She loves her days there; a great mix of fun, learning and activities in pre-school. I will be
sad when she leaves to go to school!

My son has attended the nursery since July last year and he has really blossomed since starting. This is for many reasons, they key one being his relationships with the nursery staff. The manager and deputy manager are so warm and welcoming and were super helpful with getting him settled in. His room
staff he adores and refers to them as his friends. The nursery structure he has taken home with him and it’s been really useful for a good stable routine. He always comes home with a big smile and tells me all about the activities he has done. I couldn’t wish for a better environment for him to grow in.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.872)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.872) out of 10 for Kids Planet Castle House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.881 for Kids Planet Castle House is calculated as follows: ( (225 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.881
  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 4.991 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Castle House is based on 21 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 106 number of registered child places is 21.2. 21 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.2 = 0.991
  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

Hello, my name is Vanessa and I am proud to be the Manager at Castle House. I hold a Level 3 qualification in Early Years and SEND, and I’ve been working in the early years sector since 2018.

My passion lies in creating inclusive environments where every child and family feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.


As a mum myself, I understand how important it is to find a setting where your child feels safe, happy, and inspired. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring National Trust locations with my family and spending time crafting.
