Review from Rachael T (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I just absolutely love this nursery. They are constantly thinking of new ideas and ways every day to be creative and explore new ideas with the children. When the kids are playing around or crafting the nursey is very chilled and relaxed. They send me notifications every day to update me with little
pictures and notes of what my child has been up to. My child is usually very clingy, and he always goes in without crying - which I think also speaks volumes. He must obviously feel very safe there. I love it when he comes home with a little picture or painting. I also love that he gets the opportunity to socialise with other children, especially during such isolating times.

The nursery is good I found my little girl is not the best at settling in but working with the nursery has helped her calm down going in snd know it is a safe place. There is still work to be done on this but myself and the nursery are working together to do this so she is happy going of a morning.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started here in September 2019 aged 3 and it was a shock for him. He struggled with separation anxiety, which we didn’t expect, however, the staff were always so attentive and nurturing. Then lockdown happened... Kids Planet Crosby brought us a lovely canvas bag full of resources to use at home-
and we did! Our son enjoyed them all AND watching the staffs videos on Facebook. When he returned in September 2020, he was ready for it and was a completely different child! The staff were/are more amazing than before in terms of being thorough with updates verbally and on the app. It’s actually better standing at the front door to drop off and pick up too as there is more time for parent/ staff conversations. All the staff in pre-school are fantastic, but I feel a special mention has to go to the keyworker for her care, encouragement, observations and dedication to child development- thank you.

Lovely nursery, the staff are very friendly and always update us on my child's progress.
I LOVE THE PARENT ZONE APP.
It is updated regularly with photos and comments about what my child has done and eaten.
My child takes part in lots of arts and crafts. Despite the photos showing how messy she gets.
She is always given back to us clean and happy.

Brilliant nursery, I was very nervous leaving him with anyone - I feel really comfortable with him being there and even though he is clumsy I have no concerns.


He wasn't very well and I wasn't for over 4 weeks and they followed good practices but also reassured me it is perfectly normal as to be

honest in a pandemic I don't know what is and isn't ok cold wise.


He is coming on and growing so quickly so thanks so much.

Kids Planet Crosby have always gone above and beyond for our son. They really know the children and their individual personalities and needs and actively encourage and drive development. The facilities are amazing, from on-site animals (tortoise, giant snails and chicks) to teach caring responsibilities
from an early age to extensive outdoor facilities for the rough and tumble times we all need to build resilience. Everything is provided for your child, so there is no requirement to top up nappies and creams like other nurseries we have experienced. Our child loves the food that is prepared and cooked onsite. We have noticed the improvement in his development from being back at Kids Planet Crosby compared to being at home during the lockdown. They even provided at-home learning kits and support during this time. The staff are approachable and knowledgeable, and fast to respond to enquiries. I would recommend them without hesitation.

I have always had a great experience with this nursery.
My children love to attend and the staff and management are caring and kind.
I have used it for 8 years now with different stages of after school clubs and full-time nursery.
I was especially pleased with how they supported parents and children
through the current pandemic and nothing was a problem. Their adaption for each government guideline change is well implemented and communicated.
Would recommend to all friends and family 100%.

Kids Planet Crosby was the best decision I could have made for my son, he started aged 1 and left aged 4, ready for school. He was looked after so well by all the staff here, I was always kept up to date on what he had been up to and he developed very special relationships with his key workers. The
managers are excellent - friendly and approachable.
I would highly recommend Kids Planet Crosby.

Our little boy started nursery in August and we feel that we really made the right decision choosing Kids Planet in Crosby. The staff are very kind and helpful, and our little one loves being there. The children get healthy and nutritious food and they get to be outside a lot, which were both important
in our choice. I would absolutely recommend this nursery!

Fantastic nursery with amazing staff who genuinely care about the children. Always very helpful and happy to go the extra mile for children and their families. Varied menu which caters for a range of diets. Fantastic outdoor space where children get to enjoy all elements and plenty of activities which
are fun and educational.

My son has attended Kids Planet Crosby since he was 9 months old- he’s 2 next month and is still loving the days he spends there. All of his key workers so far have been very attentive and always update the app with things my son is doing throughout the day - from painting and playing outside - to dancing
and learning new words! My son is happy to walk into nursery with no tears and I feel happy and confident leaving him there. All the staff are always friendly and really helpful. I’m due my next baby in a couple of months and won’t hesitate to send them there when I go back to work! Fab all round!

Our son loves going to nursery and has always had a great relationship with the staff, especially with his keyworker.
Getting updates on food, nappy changes and sleeps is reassuring when you are away from your child. The highlight of our day is receiving a 'moment' which shows an activity he is doing
in the day and along with the 'observations' which measure his development against the EYFS framework highlights his development which is supported by nursery.

My child started in August and I’ve been so happy with this nursery from day one. The team in tots have helped me feel so confident leaving my baby while I work. He settled so quickly and I know it’s down to their care and attention. He’s learnt so many new things already, I can’t wait to see what he
does next! The parent zone app with updates brightens my day at work I feel like I know what he’s doing without me! Fabulous setting!

I have used kids planet daycare and wrap around for around 4 years now for my 2 children. All of the staff looking after my children have been lovely. I have also used the holiday club. The managers are very helpful and always get back to me with any queries.
My only issue is that my bill has been
incorrect several times and I’ve had to contact the finance office a couple of times to amend bills having overpaid and once I was even only billed for one child which I had to draw to their attention. It is more expensive than a childminder, but the early drop off and later pick up is really helpful for our shifts and allows me time to collect the children even if I am slightly held up in work.
The car park gets extremely busy at pick up time which can be stressful. I wish the car park was bigger for the number of children that attend.

The staff at Kids Planet are warm and welcoming. My daughter is cared for well and thoroughly enjoys attending. The nursery provides excellent enrichment activities that stretch her knowledge and understanding, within a secure environment. Communication with the nursery is good; it’s lovely to see observations

Both my children attend and are well looked after by people who clearly care about them, they have formed a lovely bond with the staff. They do a varied range of activities and spend a lot of time outside which I feel is important.
I have always felt that the children’s safety is taken seriously and
they have handled the recent crisis very well.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.188)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.188) out of 10 for Kids Planet Crosby 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 11 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 4.894 for Kids Planet Crosby is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.894
  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 4.294 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Crosby is based on 11 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 187 number of registered child places is 37.4. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 37.4 = 0.294
  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.
