Review from Yasmin C (Mother of Child) published on 25 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are so glad we chose this nursery for our daughter who had just turned 1 a few days before starting. From the very beginning, the team have been excellent with updating us on the app with photos etc, and any anxiety we had about starting nursery quickly disappeared.


Our little one's key worker

is amazing! - She has built a lovely bond with her, and knowing she's cared for by someone who genuinely understands and loves working with her means so much to us.


We also really appreciate that all the meals are halal and that the children are encouraged to eat independently. We've noticed a positive improvement in her eating habits since she started.


She always seems to enjoy herself and clearly likes the staff. Overall, we're very satisfied with our experience and would highly recommend this nursery to other parents and carers.

My daughter has been at Kids Planet Salford for two years, moving through all the rooms Todd's, Toddlers, and now Preschool. Every stage has been a great experience for her and for me as parents.
She adapted easily each time, built lovely relationships with staff and children, and always felt happy
and supported.
The staff and management are amazing, always friendly, approachable, and ready to help. I've already recommended Kids Planet Salford to colleagues from work and would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a caring and professional nursery

The staff in the toddler room are all very caring. They give attention and play with the children. They also support their development and, every week or so, set small developmental targets for the children to work toward.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff have helped my daughter grow and progress, they've done so much interacting with her and always help her through her morning meltdowns at drop off, they pick her up and take her allowing me to get out and calm her down and get her playing with whatever she wants to play with, constantly having
pictures and updates what she's done in her hours at nursery and my little girl is loving it, torri and Sandra stand out to me as they are the main two people who usually comfort my daughter in a morning when I come to drop her off at nursery and I am forever grateful for how they are with her and help her to calm down and play

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery are so welcoming and the staff are amazing. I cannot speak higher than I already do in the care for my son, and his elder brother who is now in school. The staff are first class, with genuine interests in the upbringing and development of my son. The app uses pictures and reports from tasks
my son completes and this is regularly kept up to date, sometimes multiple times a day which show the level of detail they go to in order to make my son feel comfortable and welcomed within the nursery. The general feel for the nursery is second to none, with big smiles and a happy, vibrant feel which resonates through the staff and management. I would recommend the nursery to anyone wanting 1st class, quality care for their child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kids Planet Salford has been a fantastic setting for my son since he joined at 7 months old. I could not be happier with the care and attention he has received, and without a doubt he is flourishing - it's clear that the variety of interactions he's having (whether with staff or other children) and
his engagement with new experiences is having a profound effect on his development. He is frequently going on trips to the park, or to the library, even to the hospital (to clarify: just to visit!). Special days are acknowledged and celebrated in the class room, providing learning in a creative way. The food provided throughout the day is incredible - he's been exposed to a wide variety of textures and flavours, which has helped him become a non-fussy eater. The way in which he is fed has been aligned with his abilities - progress on this front has been notable too. All in all, it's been great so far - long may it continue.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall I have had a good experience at kids planet.
When my child was in the baby room, the room leader at the time helped me to diagnose a food intolerance which I am eternally grateful for.
I had issues in the tots room with my child coming home in full nappies. This was addressed several times
and it did get exhausting and very frustrating.
The staff in the toddler room did a great job at helping with potty training which I am very grateful for, as it made potty training at home much easier.
Toddler & pre school rooms at times have felt chaotic but that is down to the child to staff ratio, and I'm lucky that my child wasn't fazed much and was happy for the majority of the time.
I am happy with the trips my child has been involved in; museums, airport, parks etc and I know that my child has enjoyed themselves.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.840)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.840) out of 10 for Kids Planet Salford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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 4.840 for Kids Planet Salford is calculated as follows: ( (440 Excellents x 5) + (64 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 513 Ratings = 4.84
  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 Salford is based on 43 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 128 number of registered child places is 25.6, which has been reached with 43 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.
