Review from J B (Mother of Child) published on 25 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am overall really happy with the nursery. The team is always engaged, caring, and clearly dedicated to the children's wellbeing and development. My child enjoys their time here, and I appreciate the warm, welcoming atmosphere the staff creates every day. They seem to be a really tight-knit team.


However,

I have two points of feedback-one not specific to this branch. First, the breakfast options are quite limited, with cereals (containing added sugars) being the main choice. I would love to see a wider variety of healthier alternatives, such as porridge, wholegrain sandwiches, fresh vegetables, pancakes, etc.


Secondly, the CCTV in the reception area used by parents has been out of service for quite some time, and no updates have been provided regarding when it will be fixed.


Aside from these points, I feel the nursery does a wonderful job in many other areas, and I am grateful for the care and attention my child receives here. Thank you!

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 1 year old, and now at 3, she absolutely loves it! The staff are so caring, patient, and dedicated - they really make every child feel safe and valued. The activities are fun, creative, and perfectly designed to help the children learn and grow.
I've noticed such a positive difference in her confidence, social skills, and independence. It's a wonderful environment where she is always happy and excited to go in every morning. I couldn't ask for a better start to her learning journey - truly an outstanding nursery!

My child has attended this nursery since he was 1 and has loved his time here! All of the room managers have been great and the other members of staff are so welcoming and fantastic practitioners. If I've ever had any concerns of queries the managers have been very professional and accommodating. I
feel confident in the staff that they are supporting the early development of my child and have seen lots of progress in his time there. I would highly recommend this nursery!

We've had a wonderful experience Kid Planet Higher Broughton. The staff are warm, professional, and genuinely care about each child. Since starting, our child has thrived-gaining confidence, making friends, and learning so much in a supportive environment. The nursery offers a great balance of structured
and free play, helping children grow socially, and emotionally,. We especially appreciate the friendly and diverse atmosphere, which has helped our child feel included and valued. Communication with parents is excellent, with regular updates, feedback, and opportunities to get involved. We always feel welcome and informed. Overall, it's a nurturing and engaging place where our child feels happy, safe, and excited to learn. We're so grateful for the positive start it's given them

We are so happy we chose this nursery for our son. The staff are kind, caring, and always make my son feel welcome and safe especially the staff member in the babies room. He has grown in confidence since starting and is learning so much through the fun activities they provide. Communication with parents
is excellent, and it's lovely to see how much thought goes into his care and development. We also appreciate the variety of different food provided which has helped our son to become a confident eater who loves his food. Thank you and we can't wait to see how he will continue to develop.

My son has been attending Kids Planet Higher Broughton for the past 2 years and loves it. He feels very at ease with all of the staff and they all make an effort to know the kids, not just staff in the rooms but the catering and cleaning staff too. He has flourished into a cheeky 4 year old here and
I'm sure will miss it immensely when he starts school. The staff are all so knowledgeable and approachable, you can chat with them about the child's day but also go to them for advise on how to approach potty training and weaning and school readiness and everything in between. The children are able to spend a lot of time outdoors and have the opportunity to take part in so many different activities and trips we'd not be able to always do ourselves so I really feel the staff are providing a great starting point for learning and life to come. Our baby has recently also just started and we feel reassured that he will feel just as content and supported in his years to come.

I have been to many nurseries but this branch of KP Higher Broughton has been amazing. The manager is very professional, very well organised and makes us feel safe and happy. The preschool room have been so brilliant at comforting and settling in my daughter so well. The graduation was so perfect, the
effort the staff put in was above and beyond. My daughter was only here for a few months, but we have made so many memories.

I wanted to take a moment to share how impressed myself and my partner are with the exceptional care provided each day. The staff working with my child are always suggesting and implementing new strategies to support my child with any challenges they face. One room leader in particular, is extremely
passionate for the children in her care. The activities planned are fun and engaging and my child loves their time there. We believe it is the best nursery in the area and we feel incredibly fortunate to have our child surrounded by such caring professionals.

Brillaint nursery with amazing staff that really care about the children, my daughter has a hard time transitioning and they were really patient and caring. She now loves going and has really come on with her development which I think is definatly down to the activities and attention the staff put into
each day. The food servered is healthy and lots of variety so the children get to try abit of everything really happy with the nursery and feel at ease leaving my daughter there.

Both of my children have had a wonderful experience at Kids Planet. All the staff ranging from the baby room to preschool go above and beyond to ensure the wellbeing of the children is paramount. The learning journey provides excellent opportunities for children to explore and immerse themselves fully.
I have always felt extremely confident that my children are receiving the best care in a safe and positive environment. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kids Planet to anyone! Thank you.

My daughter's nursery has been incredibly helpful and attentive in looking after her. Their care and support have been invaluable in providing a nurturing environment for her growth and development. I can include these positive aspects in the review to highlight their dedication to your daughter's well-being.
Especially the Kids Planet Higher Broughton manager is very kind and always there to support and I have a feeling you can approach her easily. Thank you Manager for making us welcome like nursery is my daughter's second home.

This is our fourth child, but first time in Kids Planet. We both agree that we've had the most experience over the last 6 months. Our daughter has come on a lot through all the different activities the staff have put on for her. She enters the nursery every morning with a huge smile on her face, she's

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.471)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.471) out of 10 for Kids Planet Higher Broughton 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 20 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 4.846 for Kids Planet Higher Broughton is calculated as follows: ( (208 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.846
  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 4.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Higher Broughton is based on 20 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 160 number of registered child places is 32. 20 Positive Reviews ÷ 32 = 0.625
  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.
