Kinder Haven is a fantastic nursery. We are so grateful to the entire team including the manager, our children's key workers and the cook for looking after our two children so brilliantly over the last 2 - 4 years. Our children have been very happy there, they learn new things, have made good friends
and they eat hot, nutritious food, more so than they do at home!

Kinder Haven is superb. The staff are amazing and our boy loves it. The learning the kids do is great and you can keep up with what’s happening on the app. The manager is brilliant and is clearly passionate about what she does. Can’t recommend it enough

My daughter has attended Kinder Haven in Horsforth for two years now, I made the decision to take her out of her previous nursery due to lack of engagement with the staff there, all I can say is that this is the best decision I made. My little girl has come on leaps and bounds since joining Kinder Haven
and I cannot thank and show the appreciation more to the staff who are all amazing, my daughter absolutely loves them all, I will be so sad when she leaves this year to go to big school, but they are all absolute angels.

Fantastic nursery. My son attends this nursery and we have been so impressed. It has been so hard due to the pandemic but the staff are always so welcoming at the door and my son loves going in. We are well informed of what he has been up to during the day. He always comes home happy and having been
well cared for. Very happy with our experience.

We’ve used Kinder Haven for both my children from the age of 10 months. Over the 6 years, we have been with them they have been friendly, informative and professional and I’m so glad we found them when they first opened! My youngest is leaving to go to primary school in September and I’ll be so sad
to say goodbye to everyone. I’ll just have to have another! I would highly recommend this nursery, its facilities and staff to anyone looking for a nursery! Thank you!

The manager and the team at Kinder Haven are amazing, my daughter always seems really happy to go in and when I collect her. Communication is great and staff are always happy to help. I'm regularly informed of what activities the children are doing and there's Early Years Foundation Stage information
on the app. The outside space is much bigger and nicer than other nurseries I viewed.

My child has attended since she was 10 months old, she is nearly 4 now and she loves the nursery. This is all because of the wonderful staff and care that is given to the children. The daily activities are great and it's good to see what she has been doing during the day. There is a good communication
between home and nursery and I much appreciated how the Covid situation has been managed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A wonderful nursery! We love Kinder Haven Ltd @ Wood Lane. Our little boy has been attending for almost a year from the age of seven months. He absolutely loves his days at Kinder Haven Ltd @ Wood Lane. The manager and the team care for him wonderfully. The focus on development and communication for
each child as an individual is absolutely excellent. The outdoor space for children is also a superb element. He has lovely home cooked meals and comes home jibbering away about his exciting days. We couldn’t be happier and would like to thank everyone for looking after our little boy. This has been a very difficult time to start a nursery during the pandemic but thanks to the professionalism of the team at Kinder Haven Ltd @ Wood Lane we have absolute confidence. We are truly delighted and can’t recommend it enough. Looking after ones child is the single most important thing in the world to us and Kinder Haven Ltd @ Wood Lane achieve it will bells on. Thanks again team Kinder Haven Ltd @ Wood Lane.

Both our kids loved it at Kinder Haven Ltd @ Wood Lane and one is still there. I think this is in part down to the amazing staff they have there, all super friendly and responsive to your child's needs but overall the facilities and location for us are also brilliant.

Send both my children to Kinder Haven Ltd @ Wood Lane and they absolutely love it. Can’t thank the nursery workers there enough for all they do. They have been brilliant throughout Covid-19, normalising measures put in place for the sake of the children and just getting on with it. I don’t know what
we’d have done without them. Thank you so much.

My daughter has been there since she was 11 months and she is now nearly 4. She has had nothing but exceptional care from all staff that she's encountered, and they've been such an integral part and positive influence on who she is today. I would highly recommend this nursery to everybody.

My two have been coming here since last year October and they have both loved both days they have been in. They have come on so much as toddlers. The eldest is nearly ready for primary. Am sure when the term ends, she will be very ready for reception class.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
An absolutely fantastic nursery with such brilliant facilities and fantastic, welcoming staff who take time to get to know your child and build up a relationship with them. My eldest daughter attended this nursery from nine months old until she left to start school in September. The staff thoroughly
prepared her for starting school. My youngest daughter now attends and is developing really well. She is always happy when she arrives at nursery and excited to see what the day brings. She frequently talks about the staff at home and clearly enjoys the activities there. Since the pandemic, the nursery have put so many different measures in place in order to keep families safe, yet still provide excellent childcare. I would highly recommend the nursery to anybody.

Great nursery with lovely staff. My sons are both thriving and love attending. The communication is good, as is the food and range of resources available for the children. The children have the opportunity to engage with lots of internal activities. Would happily recommend to anyone. Only drawbacks
are the proximity of the playground to the ring road and car fumes, and the lack of ‘outings’.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kinder Haven is so far one of the best nurseries in Leeds. We did our thorough research when our son was three in 2017. Kinder Haven Horsforth was just open in that year. We were the first groups of kids that went to this nursery. The nursery was purpose-built for the kids, it has all the state of art
settings and a very nice playful garden. We fell in love with them on the first sign. When our son started his nursery in Kinder Haven, we noticed the practitioners there are all very nice to the kids. This is an essential part of our selection because we want our son to feel welcome and safe in the nursery. Kinder Haven Horsforth certainly delivered that. That's why when our son graduated from the nursery, we sent our daughter to the same nursery even after we moved further away from it. This proves everything about what we feel about the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.643)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.643) 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 5.0 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 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 4.963 for Kids Planet Horsforth is calculated as follows: ( (231 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.963
  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 4.68 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Horsforth 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 147 number of registered child places is 29.4. 20 Positive Reviews ÷ 29.4 = 0.68
  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.
