Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attended Kids Planet in Prestwich for 2.5 years. I can honestly say it was the best decision we made for our sons start in life:


The staff consistently went above and beyond for our son and nothing was ever too much trouble. They were all so friendly and accommodating.


The variety of activities,

events and play areas were fantastic, plenty for all of the children to do and learn from:


The food was always to a really high standard, nutritious and with a great variety: They managed to get our son to eat some amazing dishes!


The management team were fantastic too. They were really helpful, kind and again, nothing was too much trouble for them.


I would highly recommend this nursery! 10/10.

My son started when he was 1 years old, he went straight into their tots room his his key person was introduced to me, we had a great bond and so did she and my son. He go in great but did settle in the day (he had been with me only really). His key person was honest with her feedback and I really valued
that, I got updates via the app of photos and general care updates. He now runs in and we even got him a uniform so he knows where hes going just like his big brother for school. This worked really well and he looks super comfy in it. He's been there 5 months now and I can't complain about the room, he's almost 2 and I'm sure toddlers will be just as good.. i know they will love their garden space!
My only down side is I would live to put him in more days/hours than funding but it is very expensive, of course you oay for the provision so the price is satisfactory for the place but I couldn't give a good/excellent however would be happy to pay if my work hours changed and I needed to

Our son has absolutely flourished since starting at Kids Planet in May. He has become such a confident individual and is always happy when we take him/pick him up. The staff are lovely and clearly make sure he is engaging in activities he enjoys as well as supporting him to progress developmentally.
Very happy for our second to be joining there when they are born and ready.

Fantastic nursery. The app keeps me updated all day and the parents evenings and monthly reviews are really helpful. They don’t send poorly children home as quickly as other nurseries. They will administer Calpol and keep children in if their temperature drops which means we’ve barely had to miss work
at all. They were also happy to accommodate reusable nappies and trained all staff on how to use them.

We have both of our daughters here and we can't sing the nursery praises high enough. The care and attention they provide both girls is outstanding and they look forward to going each day. The staff are fantastic, always friendly and always smiling.
We get regular updates throughout the day on activities,
sleeping and eating which is very handy indeed. We would highly recommend this excellent nursery!
Thank you to the amazing staff!

What a fantastic nursery! Our son has not long left the preschool room and our daughter is currently in the toddler's room. Both kids started around age 11 months and have loved every day at nursery.
The staff in all of the rooms are so nurturing and caring. The kids absolutely love going there and
we've not had any issues with settling in. We know they're so well looked after. The app is brilliant, it keeps us updated through the day with photos and meals/naps etc and we get a full rundown of the day when we pick up.
Couldn't recommend highly enough.

We love Kids Planet Prestwich! We've sent two kids there now and both have thrived/are thriving. The staff are absolutely incredible and treat the kids like family. The food always smells amazing in the morning when dropping off and both have not only eaten everything given there but sometimes have
more than one portion which is unheard of at home.
The outdoor space for all age groups is fantastic and the best we've seen from any of the nurseries we looked at when making a decision and the kids get loads of outdoor time which is fantastic.

Really pleased that we chose Kids Planet Prestwich for our little boy. All the staff are really friendly and approachable and know my child well. They have been very accommodating with my child's needs. The nursery is a lovely purpose-built building which provides very well for the children. Communication
is excellent. As a teacher myself, I couldn't wish for better for my child.

Wonderful nursery and all the staff are amazing - so caring and helpful.
Always keen to update me via the app and on collection and if there are any issues, always call even if just to check in.
My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting in the baby room and now in the tot's room and
I’m so excited for her to continue on her journey.
A very big thank you to all of the staff!

A fantastic nursery! Beautiful, modern and spotless. An incredible garden, fab activities, amazing food and the staff just go above and beyond in every way. My daughter started in babies, has gone through tots, is just leaving toddlers and going up to preschool, I'll be gutted when she leaves! Couldn't

My daughter has been attending Kids Planet Prestwich for the past 3 years and absolutely loves it. The staff are wonderful - they build such a lovely relationship with the children and genuinely care about their well-being. Communication is great, we always receive a very quick response to any emails
sent to management in the office. The quality of food is excellent and has really helped my daughter to be more adventurous with trying new foods. They are great with catering for allergies/intolerances - my daughter is intolerant to wheat and dairy and she still has very similar meals (if not the equivalent) to the other children. Activities are varied and well thought out with occasional walks to the local church or park. A great, safe, outdoor space for each room to play separately and a large car park - have always managed to get a parking spot no matter what the time. Would highly recommend to parents looking at nurseries in this area!

My child has been at this nursery almost 2 years and is very settled and happy. His key worker is very understanding of his needs, but there have been times when other staff have been less supportive (particularly around potty training). Clear communication through the app and on pick up. Great range
of activities for the children’s playtime.

All staff at the nursery have gone above and beyond to help my daughter settle in comfortably. They have been patient with her and always make sure she is happy and content. As my daughter is speech delayed, they have set things in place to make sure she catches up and always encourage her. I cannot
thank the staff enough for everything they continue to do for my daughter.

We can’t thank the staff at Kids Planet enough for helping our little boy settle into the baby room. As a breastfed, non-walking, rather sensitive little one we were really apprehensive about sending him off to nursery. The staff in the baby room made the settling in process easy and our little one
now goes to the staff for cuddles and comfort as he would family. The food offered is varied and they cater for my son’s dairy allergy well. The extended opening hours are also really helpful for us as we work long days.

Our son has been with Kids Planet Prestwich since March 2023 when he joined the baby room. We receive consistent updates on his progress, daily activities, events at the nursery and of course his food/drink intake. We’re really pleased with the commitment of his key workers and the bonds they create
so the children can confidently develop. I love the six-seater buggy for tots, so they can go on day trips, and the creative ideas for events such as a spa day and themed craft activities.

A massive "thank you" for the truly wonderful experience our daughter enjoyed at Kids Planet Prestwich. For the past three and a half years that our daughter attended, she has been privileged to be on the receiving end of the highest standard of nursery education and care. The nursery practitioners
she has got to know from baby room to pre-school are so switched on and genuinely care about the children who attend, exhibiting a real warmth towards the children. Our daughter has progressed so well and enjoyed coming to nursery, settling into each room very well - a testament to the professionalism and dedication of the team. The quality of food is second to none with freshly prepared and wholesome menus with a great variety of dishes. This has opened our daughter's eyes (and mouth!) to some dishes that she probably wouldn't have had at home and she has loved the food. Last but not least, thank you to the management team who help set the culture to begin with.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.782)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.782) out of 10 for Kids Planet Prestwich 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 6 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 4.944 for Kids Planet Prestwich is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.944
  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 3.838 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Prestwich is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 126 number of registered child places is 25.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 25.2 = 0.238
  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.
