Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy started in January and I was a little nervous as he's a very quiet little boy and likes being around people he knows. The wonderful staff, especially a staff member in the bright stars room, have made the transition so easy. We've never had any tears and he loves his nursery mornings.
The room is bright and engaging and I can already tell that he is learning new things everyday in preparation of big school.
Thank you Kinderhaven xx

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery and lovely friendly staff, welcomed with open arms. Nursery is well presented and has had a lot of effort put into it. Brilliant security, not seen many nurseries like this. You can speak to the staff at any time. My daughter didn't settle that brilliant at the beginning due to being
a little ill and I spoke to the manager in charge, she reassured me and she soon settled well. Definitely recommended.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son has been attending nursery since it opened. The staff have made him feel comfortable and cared for right from the start. he has been able to take things at his own pace, moving rooms over a period of time and getting a new keyworker based on who he develops a relationship with. The nursery are
also very responsive when parents want to check on progress either over the phone or on the screen in the parents room.

Review from Natasha T (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
At Kinder Haven Horsforth the staff and managers are outstanding, and exceed all expectations of what childcare is all about. Our son received the highest standard of care and attention and I feel his needs are met each day.
He has thrived under the professional guidance of the staff, his confidence
has grown and his communication has improved. He eats a healthy selection of meals and all of it too! Everything seems to run smoothly in Horsforth, the environment and premises are clean and engaging with lots of space indoors and out with plenty of activities and games to help him learn.
The staff and managers are calm and attentive and always have time for you and your child. I would always recommend this nursery as I already have to friends and family and am happy too.

Review from Laura K (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery is new so all equipment and toys are modern and clean. The nursery provides very comfortable accommodation for our 10 month old. The staff give great feedback and communication is strong. I feel really informed about what our child does each day and how they develop and learn. The staff
have really encouraged our child to be independent and also sociable with other children. I really can see the evidence of his learning at home, which is great and testament to the staff's skills and environment. I feel really confident that our child is happy and supported which is a must!
Indoors is fab but the outside play area is something else! They've thought of everything and have lots of themed areas for the children to learn and be creative. There are always lots of activities which are varied and sound great fun. It is also reassuring that both the manager and deputy know us and our child and can tell us much about his day as the key worker can. Shows great team work.

I went to see a number of nurseries in the area and Kinder Haven stood out lead and shoulders above the rest. They offer a great menu, varied daily activity, an outstanding outdoor area and amazing staff! I have experienced 5 different nurseries and this is by far the best. I feel that my son is well
looked after and safe. Which is important with the job I have, I need to feel that peace of mind. Love, love, love this nursery and the team.

This nursery is by far the best I've been to, having taken my son out of his previous one. I found Kinder Haven were the best and have meet all my expectations. The staff are highly qualified, friendly and have a great understanding out the children. Both my son and daughter attend the nursery now and
they both love it. They have made a fantastic transition to the next room up and security and wellbeing are high in there priorities. I would recommend and definitely will send anymore of my children if I have any.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are always really friendly and helpful. My son always enjoys being at nursery and on his report at the end of the day he has always been doing lots of activities or exploring the sensory room. He is well cared for with regular nappy changes and has a good variety to eat each week. I always
receive a thorough handover when I collect him. The nursery is clean and the outside play area is great. Would highly recommend this nursery to friends and already have done.

Review from Katy M (Mother of Child) published on 3 February 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started this nursery as it opened in May 2015. She loves it, and I feel so happy and secure in sending her, knowing she is well cared for.
The outside facilities are fantastic, and the rooms are all very well equipped and always kept clean. They are such a fun environment to spend time
in.
The staff are friendly and welcoming, and obviously know my child well by the things they have said to me.
My child has some additional health needs and they are so helpful and reassuring with this.
She is learning new things every day she is there.
The manager is always around if you need her for anything. The key fob entry and cctv are all great safeguarding features.
Overall, it feels like a loving, happy environment and I am happy to be sending my child there.

Brilliant, brand new & safe facilities for the children. Very clean and well organised. The Keyfob entry is fantastic and gives real reassurance to parents, as does the cctv which can be viewed via the parents room. The manager/staff & keyworkers are very supportive to your child's individual needs
and also help support and change if your child's life. I would 100% recommended this nursery.

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.
