Fabulous childcare facility would recommend to anyone. Unfortunately, my child is leaving shortly due to starting at primary school in September. She has thoroughly enjoyed her time at Kinder Haven and her development academically and the knowledge she has gained is second to none

My little girl loves going to the nursery and the staff always seem nice and helpful and willing to go out of their way for you. I will definitely be putting my baby into this nursery and feel very at ease with the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This place is absolutely fabulous and the staff are exceptional. They not only doing their best to care for your little one and help their development, but they also add that extra special something by paying attention to changes in circumstances (e.g moving house, removing dummy, potty training) to
support both you and your child.
The facilities are brilliant, every time I visit it is spotless and well kept. Plus, the attention to detail in each of the rooms (e.g wall displays/activity stations) is outstanding and really demonstrates the passion and thought put into engaging with the children.
I can not fault them and thank everyone for making us feel confident that our little one is not only well cared for in our absence, but also encouraged to develop in a way bespoke to them.

Review from Jemma P (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would highly recommend Kinder Haven, Westgate Hill. When we started at this nursery, it was in addition to another nursery, as my little girl's original nursery was not be able to fit her in for anymore days. Quickly it became apparent how much happier and how much she was thriving at Westgate Hill.
We quickly took her out of the first nursery and enrolled her in 4 days a week at Westgate Hill. Since then our daughter has continued to excel for her age. I’m constantly impressed with the variety of activities and the encouraged participation of all the children. She comes home singing, counting, pointing and communicating with me (she’s 18-months-old).
The staff also go above and beyond. Even staff in other age groups, greet my daughter and say goodbye if we pass them. The nursery manager keeps up to date with how all the children are doing and developing, she will often stop me when I see her to talk about the milestones my daughter is aiming for/reaching.
Highly recommend.

Fabulous nursery, great staff and environment. I know my little boy is happy and safe there and when I ask him if he’s had a good day he always says he’s had fun. I’ve used Kinder Haven for my other 2 children and would always recommend to others.

Review from Louise S (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery has 4 rooms, each well equipped with fun, interactive toys for the children as appropriate for their age, as well as an outdoor area where children from all the rooms tend to spend periods of play each day, sometimes several times a day. The children are encouraged to explore and interact
with their peers and there is plenty of singing, dancing and creative activities. The children are constantly learning and developing. Staff are friendly, welcoming, encouraging, helpful and approachable and very quickly pick up on children's personalities and preferences in order to meet their needs and help give detailed and personal feedback on how their day has gone and developmental progress. I really get the feeling staff adapt to the child rather than trying to regiment children into ways of learning or habits that would not work for them. They have created a great atmosphere and environment and I feel they really know my child well.

Since my little boy started nursery at Kinder Haven, he has come on in leaps and bounds.
His speech is fabulous and his development is excellent, due to the caring and patient staff here.
The staff and manageress are absolutely lovely, patient caring and understanding, with a good knowledge of the
children’s development.
Highly recommend nursery

The team that have been responsible for my son's care and nurturing have been exceptional. They always keep me in touch with what's going on, how he is improving and where extra support is needed. My son has additional needs and their continuous input and encouragement for me has made his early years
so much easier to handle than I imagined. For me they are faultless.

I have used Kinder Haven @ Westgate Hill for both my children and don't think I would have trusted anyone else. The staff truly care bout their job and about taking care of your child. Communication is excellent. The way staff go out of their way to provide interesting and educational activities and
track this information is really good. I will almost be sad when my child starts school in September and no longer attends the nursery!

The care that Kinder Haven provide is second to none.
He is always happy and full of smiles when I pick him up from nursery. I love watching him interact with the staff and other children. I feel that attending nursery has really supported his development as he is achieving all of his milestones and
is coming on in leaps and bounds. I feel he is cared for and challenged at nursery and we are really happy with everything that Kinder Haven is providing.

The care that Kinder Haven gives my son is excellent. As a full time working mummy, it is so important that I know my son has the best care and Kinder Haven definitely give me confidence that his needs are being met. He loves to come to nursery and has developed so well in terms of play and social skills
and speech.
The staff are amazing and also manage me well as a mummy who likes to know what's going on every day. Thank you Kinder Haven.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.968)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.968) out of 10 for Kids Planet Tong is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.968 for Kids Planet Tong is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.968
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Tong is based on 13 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
