My daughter is always so excited to go into nursery. The staff are so welcoming and kind. Nursery is always clean and has lots of activities set up for the children every morning! The staff take the children out to the local shops, park and on trips to the beach, on the tram. My daughter has made some
lovely friends there and speak about the staff all the time. The app keeps you well informed about everything. Any issues are dealt with quickly and effectively.

The staff have been great with my child. They were the 1st to notice that he possibly suffered from autism, they put all the necessary procedures in place for him and have gone above and beyond with his care. Don't know where we'd be without them.

My daughter loves going to nursery and from day 1 we have always felt reassured. The staff and managers are always accommodating and on the ball. They always listen and take the time to talk to us and update us on my daughter's progress. I feel very confident when my daughter is at nursery as I know
she is in the hands of great staff! Thank you to you all, you do a fantastic job and it's noticed and appreciated!

My two boys attend this nursery and it has been amazing to see how much their confidence and development has grown. The staff are supportive of our needs, prompt at resolving any issues and no problem is too much. My boys enjoy the messy play and their amazing outdoor facilities as well as going on
day trips/walks.

My child came to this setting after being at another for 3 years. The distance they have come in such a short amount of time is a testament to the staff at this setting. Not only in development, but in social skills and confidence. It is always a worry not being with your child, but I feel nothing but
ease whilst they are here.

The staff are great with my little boy, he settled in so well when he first started (which hasn't happened in the past).
He loves his toys there, meals, whoever is looking after him, they take the children out, which I love, the kids are happy. If you have a request, they are happy to try. The courtesy
calls are great and the safe guarding, even getting in the building is strong, which is great to see. 8/10

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so happy your little boy has settled in so well-it means a lot to know he's happy and thriving with us!

My daughter absolutely loves coming to Kids Planet Anchorsholme. When she first started, she was very tearful and upset when going. The baby room worked really hard with her and she absolutely adores coming to nursery now. She can't wait to get in! She is always busy and happy when she is there. The
team are so caring and loving and I know that my little girl is safe. She has come on leaps and bounds in the 3 months she has been attending and has learnt so many new skills.

After facing a price increase at my child's first nursery and being let down by another we contacted Kids Planet Anchorsholme where her brother attended. Don't know why we didn't come here in the first place. Easy to enrol, great facilities and my child fitted right in. Love it.

My child is currently in Tots and is really happy. He chats all about the ladies and tells me about his day with his friends. I'm really happy with how he has come on and he really loves coming to nursery. I'm really happy with the updates on the app and the photos sent, my child is happy, so I'm happy.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.915)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.915) out of 10 for Kids Planet Anchorsholme 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.949 for Kids Planet Anchorsholme is calculated as follows: ( (263 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.949
  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 4.966 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Anchorsholme is based on 23 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 119 number of registered child places is 23.8. 23 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.8 = 0.966
  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.
