My child is very happy in this setting. He is encouraged to be himself and to interact with others. The preschool setting has a good mix of free play and more structured learning.

Both our 2 children attend the nursery and they have done so since they were 7 months old. The care given at this nursery is excellent. Staff are friendly, down-to-earth and professional. The nursery manager is friendly, approachable and resolves any issues very quickly. I would not hesitate to recommend
this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our ten month old boy has been attending since August and he loves it.
They do a range of activities that always seem to tire him out.
The staff are great and always enthusiastic.
The app is easy to use and allows me to keep up to date with everything that he does throughout the day.
There is
a large outside play area that is split into sections for the different age groups.
There is CCTV in the rooms.
Very secure building with a strict entry policy. Fob access only.
Plenty of space to park for collections.

Our little boy has been attending the nursery on a term time only basis since he was ten months old. We couldn’t be happier with all areas of the nursery, the staff have been fantastic and super smiley and friendly! They have really got to know him and he absolutely loves going.
He has tried all sorts
of foods that he wouldn’t have done at home and has met lots of pals. It’s been great for his confidence and he has huge smile on his face at drop off times. We have recommended it to lots of our friends and feel so lucky that our nursery experience is how it is. Thank you.

My little girl has been attending the nursery for over five months now. It didn’t take her long at all to settle in and now she happily waves me off at the door. She loves her key worker. The parent zone system means I can check on what’s been going on during her day, it's also nice to get pictures/videos
of her enjoying the activities.

Review from Lauren S (Mother of Child) published on 30 October 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been going to this nursery for nearly two and a half years. I feel he has benefited from being in a nursery care setting rather than a childminder as he is socialised with other children and has made friends with his peers and has built great relationships with the caregivers in his room.
The facilities are perfect to help with the children's development and are age appropriate. The managers do a great job and have kept me informed of my child's progress. They spend their time supporting the caregivers and the children in their rooms, which is reassuring as they are getting to know your child. It is a fantastic nursery and would highly recommend it to other people.

So happy with how my little boy has settled into Kinder Haven. I went to view a couple of nurseries prior and I knew as soon as I visited my child would be happy here. Couldn’t fault them, he is progressing wonderfully and loves all the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been attending Kinder Haven in Horsforth since January 2018 and we couldn't be happier with the care she has received. All members of staff, from senior management to the cleaners, are always consistently polite, courteous and extremely helpful. The nursery itself is very good, it has
everything the children need to keep them happy, safe and well looked after.
The staff that work at this nursery are by far the best I have ever seen in any nursery, you can see they love the job they do which is seen through the care that is given to the children. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a high standard of childcare without comprise.

Our son has attended the nursery for over 18 months and they have always been fantastic with him.
The facilities are great but the best thing about Kinder Haven is the staff. They are energetic, attentive and so caring. My son adores them and it will be sad when he leaves and I know he will miss them.

My twin boys have been going one day a week to the nursery since November last year when we moved house and absolutely love it. The staff are wonderful and I really feel that the boys are in safe hands and their development and care are in the forefront of everything they do. The information updates
you receive on the ParentZone app are great, so you get a clear understanding of what they have been doing etc that day. So happy that we decided to put the boys into this nursery.

I cannot fault the level of care my daughter receives at Kinder Haven Ltd @ Wood Lane. All of the team know her by name even those who work in different rooms. I've found the team to be helpful and supportive. My daughter very much enjoys the time she spends there and the friends she has made, both
the children and the team too.

I have recommended this nursery to several friends. The staff are professional and caring. The individual needs of children are considered and children are nurtured through a stimulating and well maintained learning environment. Staff get to know children and their families to work together in partnership.

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.
