The staff are really welcoming, helping my son settle in straight away. They are knowledgeable and understanding, making the process of leaving your child for the first time a lot easier. The nursery have been very supportive of my preferences and adaptable to our needs. There is excellent feedback
about what has happened each day. I really like the feedback form summarising mealtimes/nappy changes/feeds/activities.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have 3 children and this is by far the best nursery I have ever been to.
The facilities are outstanding, it is beautiful and very clean.
I'm sure most mothers understand what it's like to leave your precious one at a new place. Well the staff here made me feel so comfortable with how they were going
to,look after my baby.
My child has settled extremely well and loves going 2 days per week.
I can not recommend the nursery or the staff here enough, it's wonderful.

This nursery has taken care of my daughter for eight months, she has grown in confidence and is happy. I believe this is due to the superb care and attention. The staff at Kinder Haven cares. When she is upset I have seen the care and comfort they give her. I know she is looked after well when in their
care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I felt at ease leaving my little boy on his first day as he took to his nursery teachers straight away. When we first came to look around they were friendly and kind. The nursery is always clean and presentable. My little boy struggled with his speech and with sitting down and listening to stories with
assistance from his teachers he is improving. Lovely nursery lovely staff.

Kinder Haven is one of the best nurseries I have seen and been to. My son comes home so happy and is so happy to go on a morning. All of the staff are more than welcoming and are so friendly. Not mention how good they are with the children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son clearly enjoys his time at Kinder Haven. We have seen such a noticeable increase in his confidence and social skills since he started at nursery.
The range of food that he eats there is impressive and has led to him eating new things at home.
The facilities are bright and clean and we also
appreciate the efforts of the staff to encourage outdoor play. Staff are friendly and make sure to keep you informed of any issues or progress made. Overall, I would have no hesitation in recommending Kinder Haven to other parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kinder Haven in Horsforth is a fantastic nursery which my 2 year old son has been attending for around 6 months. Staff are very friendly and welcoming to both children and their parents alike. The facilities are excellent particularly the fantastic outdoor space which is better than any nursery I have
ever seen. The food is great and my son always enjoys breakfast and lunches. There are no extra activities such as stay and play which involve parents. We really enjoyed the Christmas party and visit from Santa, which all the children thought was magical. Security is great and we feel completely confident leaving our child at the facility.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for nearly a year now, and she loves it. The staff are so friendly and she practically skips through the door in a morning. She has special medical needs and requirements and the nursery had done everything they could and can do to keep her inclusive and welcome.
She is learning lots there as well and they have a great out door play area.

Since my daughter started at Kinder Haven last year, she has come on so much. Her speach is so clear. My daughter loves all the staff. They are all so friendly. At the end of the day we get told about foods been eaten and how much intake our child has had. They have supported us with toilet training.
And now my daughter is having dry days. The playground and the layout is amazing. Also our favourite is the building is secure and we use fobs to get in. We know our child is safe and happy. I highly recommend Kinder Haven at Horsforth.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.414)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.414) out of 10 for Kids Planet Horsforth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 17 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 4.911 for Kids Planet Horsforth is calculated as follows: ( (201 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 213 Ratings = 4.911
  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 4.503 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Horsforth is based on 17 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.925
    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 147 number of registered child places is 29.4. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 29.4 = 0.578
  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.
