My twin daughters have attended Kids Planet part time from age 2, starting in Toddlers. Every single member of staff are accommodating, polite, caring and go out of their way to make my children feel welcome. They have a fantastic team from management to kitchen staff to nursery nurses. The facilities
are brilliant offering a wide range of activities to keep my children engaged. They use an online portal to keep parents updated on meals, developmental progress, observations including pictures which I can log onto at any time and see what my children have been up to. My children are currently in Pre School which they love. The team are fantastic and go above and beyond. They have come on leaps and bounds during their time at Kids Planet and are now ready to start their next chapter at school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is absolutely fantastic. I was so hesitate returning to work and placing my children into nursery 2 days a week. I went to view it and knew instantly that this was the right place. The management is excellent. The office is at the front of nursery, somebody always in and door always open.
The staff are excellently trained, professional, understanding, educated, polite and most importantly demonstrate this to the children in their care. I have witnessed many absolutely excellent examples of fantastic care and sent emails to management to praise staff. The management team and staff are not only excellent with my children but also with me! I am very anxious and worry all the time the reassurance and support I have received as a parent is something I could never thank the staff enough for! This nursery doesn’t need a review you need to go and see it for yourself and you will know instantly you have made the right choice.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 3 year old son has attended the nursery since aged 7 months. I remember then being really apprehensive about leaving him in the care of others, whilst I was at work, but the staff at the nursery immediately put me at ease. In the way that they speak to my son and the way that he is supported on a
daily basis, it is clear to see that they genuinely care about him. He has made so many close bonds with particular staff members and key workers during his time at the nursery. What is telling is that I know he'll be devasted to have to have to leave next year for school. I really would recommend Kids Planet - Prestwich highly. They've assisted my son and us as parents with many milestones and continue to support us with our son's individual development goals. I am so confident in the care that they provide that our second child is due to start with them in September and I know I can feel at ease during the difficult transition of returning to work because he will be receiving great care.

This was the nursery I wanted my child to go to. The key workers he's had have been dedicated in working on his development. Their perserverence in getting him to walk unaided was amazing.
All staff are friendly. I have recommended Kids Planet many times.


If I had one niggle and it is a teeeeeny

tiny one - it would be about the number of management changes. All managers have been excellent. There is no question about the quality and the reasons for the changes have been logical. But as soon as you get used to someone it seems they're off.

Review from Sarah G (Mother of Child) published on 10 July 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has just turned 1 and has attended for the past 4 months. We were unsure as to where to send her, thought Kids Planet would be too 'big' for her in terms of numbers of children and her young age, however, we were wrong. The manager knows the name of every child and the whole place has a
great feel. Our daughter loves the staff members and they have a great understanding of her developing personality and what she likes to do, and really help her thrive. At present, we do not get a great deal of insight as to what goes on during her day other than a briefly written sheet, however they are bringing in an online access interface and my understanding is we can view pictures and get updates throughout the day by logging into our account.


Choosing childcare when you return to work is tough, but I would definitely recommend considering this place. I can see why it received an Outstanding from Ofsted and for our highly sociable 1-year-old, it was absolutely what she needed.

Our daughter has been at Kids Planet since she was ten months old. She is now approaching pre-school. At every stage, we have found the staff to be caring, proactive and committed to providing our child with the best possible environment. They always treat her as an individual, move at her pace and
have been happy to adapt to her needs - for example, separating different food groups on her plate when she was going through a fussy eating phase and then helping her to move back to mixed foods again. They genuinely like the children in their care. It is one of the more expensive nurseries in our area but we often think about how glad we are that we chose this nursery.

Our journey with Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Prestwich started in 2013 with my daughter and ends next week with my son. Both my kids have loved their time at Kids Planet and I couldn't recommend it more. The staff have been amazing regarding my son's asthma and allergies and I am confident he will be
cared for should he need his medication in nursery. My shy reserved baby is leaving as a confident chatty boy thanks to his amazing teachers!

Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Prestwich is a safe, happy and educational environment for our little boy. We have had our son placed there for the last 14 months, on a full-time basis, starting in the Baby Room and now into Tots. We couldn't be happier with the care and attention that our son has had from
the staff at Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Prestwich; his development has been outstanding and we are grateful for the parenting role that all the staff adopt with our son, whilst we are at work. They have a loving, friendly and conscientious approach to their work in learning and play and our son thinks of all the staff that work with him as his extended family. He enjoys attending nursery and we drop our son off in the morning confident that he will enjoy his day and be looked after to the highest standard. Thank you, from Dad and Mum x

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.
