My son is relatively new to the nursery, but I have been very happy with the care he has received so far. I am confident that I am leaving him with people that actually care, which has helped with returning to work. The staff are always in high spirits and enthusiastic.

Kids Planet Springhead is a fabulous nursery. The staff are dedicated, caring, reliable, trustworthy and show a genuine interest in the wellbeing, development and health of my 3-year-old. My daughter has been at the nursery for two years since I went back to work, and has gone through babies, toddlers
and is now in pre-school. All the way through her attendance at the nursery her care has been first class, the teachers and support staff have shown nothing but 100% focus in her development and most importantly she has been happy, sociable, safe and content during her time there so far. The place is clean, the food is freshly prepared and varied, and the outdoor space whilst limited is well organised and safe.

Review from K B (Mother of Child) published on 3 September 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son attended this nursery for almost 12 months. When he started, he was a quiet but clever little boy who had not had much interaction with other children. The staff at the nursery in his room were very kind and caring and noticed straight away that he would be upset to leave me for the first time.
They cared for him and showed him lots of attention to make the transition as smooth as possible. He settled in very fast and soon got stuck into all the activities on offer. I can honestly say he has come on leaps and bounds and turned into a very confident boy. Thank you Kids Planet.

A wonderful nursery where the staff really care for each child that attends. My daughter has thrived since attending and is learning something new every day. She has made lots of friends and she loves to play with all the toys and equipment the nursery has to offer. A big shout out to my daughters key
worker who is a lovely, kind and very approachable person who my daughter adores.

Our youngest Son attends Kids Planet, Springhead and he loves it. Our eldest Son also spent 3 very happy years there. The staff are all so friendly and approachable. It's great to know that our children are in a happy and safe environment where they are also learning so much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All three of my children have used this nursery. When it was time for my youngest Daughter to start nursery there was no question about her going anywhere but Kids Planet. All my children have learnt so much at nursery and loved every second of it. The staff are all fantastic and form fantastic relationships
with both children and parents making the whole nursery experience enjoyable and comfortable. Additional to this the meals provided are both healthy and enjoyable for the children, my Daughter enjoys them that much she regularly returns for second portions. Overall a brilliant nursery.

Review from Victoria M (Mother of Child) published on 25 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Jeffrey's corner has provided my son with one of the best starts. He loves going, even asking to go sometimes at weekends and when we are on holiday (he was most disappointed that the Kid's Club on holiday didn't do phonics! It didn't live up to Jeffrey's!)
The staff are fab - they nurture and develop
the children but at the same time making sure they have fun. The activities they organise go above and beyond other nurseries in the area.
Due to his time at Jeffrey's, my son is starting school with a passion for learning being inquisitive about the world around him and is confident in building relationships with teachers and other children.
I cannot thank the team at Jeffrey's Corner enough - they are stars!

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.
