Review from Paul (Father of Child) published on 28 June 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The most important thing to me in a nursery is how happy my child is when attending. My son is in the tots room and he loves it! The staff are all extremely nice and very competent. Hand over in the morning and evening is smooth and the feedback we get on pickup is perfect. Communications sent out
by the management are good and regular. The centre itself is of a very high standard and maintained very well.


Overall, I'm extremely pleased we found Kids Planet Salford and look forward to my son moving up through the rooms.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband and I both work full time and we live 50 miles from the nearest family member, so when it was time for me to return to work following a very short 6 months maternity leave, we knew that we had to find a top quality childcare provider who could look after our daughter.


I can honestly say

that I feel extremely privileged that we stumbled across Kids Planet, Salford. The staff are friendly, highly trained and enthusiastic; my little girl just loves them all! She even asks to go to 'school' at weekends!


The children are offered a wide variety of healthy food and stimulating activities throughout the day. One thing that stood out to me about Kids Planet compared to other nurseries was the level of care and attention that the staff give each and every child, you can clearly see that children are put first every time!


This nursery is truly outstanding, I would highly recommend Kids Planet to any parent who is looking for high-quality childcare at an affordable price.

My little boy started at nursery when he was 9 months old. We had a bit of trouble settling him in but all the staff there are fantastic and helped him, and us, settle him in to his new environment.


He has since moved up into the toddler room and seeing him develop through the babies and tots room

his social skills have developed rapidly. The staff are very caring and make sure that he has everything he needs.

We love the Kids Planet Salford. All the staff is always nice and helpful! It is like a second family for my little one! As we are starting school this year I can be just very grateful to everyone as we have been here for 3 years. My son has learnt a lot and has enjoyed every day. I can recommend the
nursery as one of the best ones! :)

Regular review will be important, every two months. Extras activities to make children busy and more relaxed.
Add more toys to support children play activities. Meeting with parent regular to talk and discuss the progress of a child.

Review from Ginny H (Mother of Child) published on 28 June 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We moved our children to this nursery because the nursery they were in was unable to provide a positive structure for my children and their mood and behaviour was negatively impacted by this.


We have found the care and structure in Kids Planet Salford to be of a much higher standard and my son is

very happy. Even changes to the staffing in the room have been handled in such a way that it hasn't negatively affected my son. He is challenged to excel and appreciated for who he is :-)

My son started in March 2017 and it has been an easy transition for him. The girls are fantastic with him, I always pick up a happy boy. I have never had any issues with my son which is such a relief when you are a full-time working mum.

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.
