Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy started in the baby room in January and I have been so impressed with the nursery. He settled in really well and the staff have all been brilliant with him. He’s made friends already and has recently moved to the toddler room. The settling in process to move him was brilliant and I know
he’s going to be happy there. He loves going to nursery and is always having fun when I pick him up. His speech is really developing well at the minute and he is learning new things all the time. I am really pleased I chose Kids Planet to look after my little man.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since walking into this nursery for my walk around, I had a great feeling from when I was welcomed into each room and my son wanted to get down and play. The rooms looked like kids were having fun. Other nurseries we walked into, looked too rehearsed as they knew we were coming around.
After my child
had done 1 week at half days and 2 weeks full days in the baby room, he is happy to go to nursery.
The manager, senior leader and baby room staff have been so amazing making not only my son feel welcomed but I have also felt welcomed and at ease.
I am so happy that he is at this nursery and would recommend Kids Planet in Sale to everybody.

Kids Planet is a family nursery. Everyone is so welcoming and accommodating. They encourage you to get involved and seek guidance at any time. It’s nice to know I can call anytime to see if my little one is ok. It’s even nicer when you pick up your little one and they tell you that they have had a ‘good
day’.

My little girl attended this nursery for two years. She absolutely loved it and she has learnt so much in her time there. I was extremely happy with all the staff and couldn't fault the nursery at all. She now attends school and still talks about the nursery and her time there.

My daughter (4) has been at KP since she was 18 months old. I am really happy with KP and I have nothing but praise for the staff and management. I am particularly pleased with:
- how caring the staff have all been from the outset. Little things make a difference, like how they all know her name (even
if she is not in their room) and they know her sister's name (she is at school and never even went to KP)
- the fact that the nursery take the children out to the park/ library/ to plant plants and feed the ducks / to the cenotaph for Remembrance day etc
- the quality of the teaching that my daughter receives in pre-school. She can count/write her name/ has known the months of the year/ days of the week now for ages etc. Also, I see fabulous updates on Facebook showing all sorts of different activities that they have been up to- stuff that I would never do at home.
My daughter skips into nursery has lots of friends there and loves the staff and activities. I will be sad when she leaves.

Review from Lindsay K (Mother of Child) published on 12 July 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have always found the standard of care to be high from the key workers and regular staff who have looked after my son; in the baby, toddler and rising 3's rooms.
He is always stimulated and has a range of activities each day he is there.
I have also found the staff to be very supportive during
some difficult family times, they will work with you to support and make things as easy as possible.
I have noticed quite a high turnover of staff and often changing cover staff, which for some parents and children, isn't ideal. I'm not sure why this is.
In the past I have been asked to suggest foods that I would like to see on the menu, unfortunately I haven't seen any of my suggestions, which I deem to be nutritious and simple, my son refuses anything too complicated or unusual and then has toast as a back up. It would be nice for some alternatives to be available.

I'm extremely happy with the care that my child receives at Kids Planet Sale. The menu is wholesome, varied and healthy. The carers are truly devoted to the children and make sure not only that they are well looked after but also that they develop their skills according to their own needs.

My son has flourished in his years at this nursery. He is well taken care of and enjoys his time here. The staff are amazing, always friendly, patient and supportive.
My newborn is already registered to start attending when I return to work. Highly recommend Kids Planet to anyone wishing their child
to develop in an encouraging and fun environment.

Kids Planet Sale is a well run, caring, trustworthy and reliable environment that we are happy both our boys go to. The level of care is excellent, and staff go above and beyond in looking after little ones, both pastorally and educationally.
Children are treated as the individuals they are and the
communication with parents is excellent and effective. We feel very safe trusting the staff here with our boys and would recommend the nursery to anyone who wants peace of mind and for their children to benefit and enjoy a great nursery. Cleanliness and healthy food are also immaculately well thought out and executed. Big thanks and a thumbs up from us.

The nursery has made best use of the space they have outside. As it's a smallish nursery my daughter has got to know most of the staff members so when she moves up to the next room it's an easier settle.
All the staff have been very good & accommodating. Plenty of different activities in the day &
outside play, whatever the weather as they have a covered area.
I would recommend the nursery.

Welcoming, very qualified people in what they do. My daughter and I were made to feel at ease all the time. They are very caring and efficient staff people. Staff works closely with parents throughout the progress of child'd development stages. I feel it is a safe and fun place for my toddler.

We have been sending our daughter to Kids Planet for about 6 months and have been really impressed. We chose this nursery due to the fact that it's a relatively new facility. It is very clean and the staff are extremely friendly. Our daughter always comes home tired due to all the activities and development
she gets. Staff keep us updated both daily and at parents evening of her development and I really believe that they are interested in her development.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.947)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.947) out of 10 for Kids Planet Sale 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.947 for Kids Planet Sale is calculated as follows: ( (215 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.947
  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 Sale is based on 19 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 83 number of registered child places is 16.6, which has been reached with 19 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.
