Very good nursery. Staff are lovely and my daughter is very settled. They are always doing different activities with the children and make it fun for them. My daughter's speech has come on so much since attending and the staff were so supportive and encouraging when she was potty training

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at this nursery for a year now and my husband and I couldn't be happier with it. The staff are all, without fail or exception, warm and friendly, patient and kind. They all seem genuinely concerned for our daughter's wellbeing and happy to see/look after her. The activities are
delightful, she is learning so much and building on what we teach her at home. She is happy to go in and delights in being with the staff. It's a lovely building, thoughtfully designed to suit the children and the outdoor areas are excellent. There is so much to stimulate the children's minds, inside and out, and they go out in all weathers, which we also like.
We find the fees, and what is provided for them, really good value for money. The times they are open are very convenient for full-time working parents, and the parent app is diligently updated throughout the day with meals eaten, nappies changed and photos of our little girl enjoying herself.
I recommend this nursery to everyone.

This nursery is fantastic, with great teachers, very kind and caring towards the children. My daughter loves coming here and will be sad to leave in September. My daughter also loves the food. She even had seconds at times. Thank you to everyone for all your support. Great management team also in place.

My Little boy started nursery here in September when he was 9 months old and he loves it and has created a lovely bond with the staff in his room. They have been amazing from day one. I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of applying for a place.

It’s almost time for my daughter to leave Kids Planet and over the past 3 years, she has had the best time there. The care they provide is excellent and the nursery goes above and beyond. We’ve just attended a graduation ceremony for pre-school which was incredible! They hired a venue and children's
entertainer, provided food and drinks and the children performed songs. It was wonderful! Thank you so much to all the staff, you are amazing!

My daughter started nursery unexpectedly in June 2021 after my mum unfortunately fell ill and was no longer able to provide childcare. I was extremely nervous as nursery was never part of the plan but it’s the best thing to come from an unfortunate situation. My daughter has thrived at nursery and loves
attending. Her confidence is high. She is social and has made lovely friends and good relationships with staff. I am really pleased with the activities on offer and really recommend Kids Planet Springhead.

We moved my son from a nursery he was very unsettled and unhappy with and I can honestly say the staff here where absolutely amazing with him. He really enjoys his time at nursery and I love hearing all about it when I pick him up. The nursery is lovely and very organic. I also enjoy seeing his pictures
and being able to communicate via the app. Thanks to all the staff for being amazing.

Review from Vicki M (Mother of Child) published on 11 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending this nursery since he was around 8 months old, he’s now 3. He loves it, he loves the staff and the friends he’s made. I’m always sent pictures of him doing different activities and he’s animated whilst telling me about his day, which shows how much he enjoys it and is taking
in what he’s doing and learning. My son loves being outside and where possible the staff allow this, rain or shine for messy play or sun fun! Within a couple of months of him starting we could see a difference and a growth in him. The staff are very supportive, nurturing and attentive and he came on leaps and bounds and has learned so much from them. I get sent information about his food consumption and I’m sometimes quite jealous! They get a fantastic variety and he always seems to enjoy it, which is good when he can be picky at home! I haven’t hesitated in recommending Kids Planet to friends and will continue to do so, it’s brilliant!

The staff are outstanding and my child is excited to see them when I drop her off. The facilities are great indoors and outdoors. They do lots of activities with a monthly schedule. A great place for your child’s development.The app they use allows continuous tracking of your child's daily activities
including lots of photos which is great. Overall a brilliant nursery and amazingly friendly staff.

My almost 4-year-old boy has attended Kids Planet Springhead since he was 8 months old. I cannot recommend it enough. The staff are all so lovely and the care he receives is outstanding. Management are incredibly helpful and solve any issues quickly. The food is amazing. Activities and resources varied
and help to develop his learning in all areas. I am so sad that he will be leaving soon to start school in September!

My baby recently started here. I was so nervous leaving her but the staff made me so comfortable. She refused to eat, sleep and drink at first but the staff didn’t give up (even suggesting things I could do to help which I massively appreciated) and now she is happily getting on with it. She is given
lots of cuddles and is always playing with different things. She gets messy, which I love, because she is exploring. The ladies in the room are just fantastic. They take such good care and genuinely seem to enjoy what they are doing. Nothing is too much trouble. I’m so pleased we picked Springhead Kids Planet.

My son attends this nursery in the toddler room. He always comes home saying how much he's enjoyed the day. It seems that there are ample activities for him to do. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the room yet due to Covid-19 restrictions but I can't wait to see it. The staff and nursery have adapted well
during the pandemic and their care towards my son hasn't changed. My son always speaks so highly of his key workers who do lots of activities with him. I believe his language, play and overall being is partly down to the nursery as it helped him develop.

What a fantastic nursery. I cannot fault the people that work here at all, they have a fantastic setup and wonderful, friendly accommodating staff. Nothing is too much trouble! The food they serve the children is fab, nutritious and different every week, the activities are engaging and well planned
and they are fantastic at making sure all needs and parenting preferences are met. My son absolutely loves the staff at nursery and they are great at choosing a key worker that children have bonded to the most. The manager is fantastic and very professional along with the rest of the staff. 10/10, wouldn’t send my children anywhere else! Well done KP Springhead. You are fab!

First my daughter and now my son have absolutely thrived during their time at Kids Planet Springhead. The facilities are excellent and the staff are so welcoming and caring, it is a lovely environment for the children to be in. It is hard to entrust your babies to someone else but I have always felt
completely confident that my children are safe, happy and well cared for by the wonderful staff at Kids Planet Springhead. My youngest will soon leave the nursery for primary school and we are sad to be leaving but thankful that he is so well prepared for his next chapter so thank you to everyone at the nursery!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.970)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.970) out of 10 for Kids Planet Springhead 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.970 for Kids Planet Springhead is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.97
  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 Springhead 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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 11 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.
