Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son absolutely loved his time at Kids Planet Salford. He started as a very reserved child, but the incredible staff made him feel so comfortable and welcome. Their kindness, patience, and friendly approach helped him come out of his shell and enjoy every day at nursery.
We were always kept up to
date with regular updates, and we truly appreciated the care and attention given to each child. Thank you for providing such a positive and nurturing environment - we're so grateful for everything you've done for my son.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has just finished her time at Kids Planet Salford Quays ahead of starting school in September and if I had to do it all again, I wouldn't change a single thing!
She has been in every room from Babies through to Pre-School, forming bonds with caregivers and children alike. Seeing her grow
and develop beyond what I could ever have done had I stayed at home full time with her has been both eye opening and fulfilling for me as a parent- I think we all have that mum guilt when we put our little ones into a childcare setting for the first time!
The team at Kids Planet are truly special. They are so focused on making the most of every hour of the day with the children, making them feel content, safe and happy, exploring the world around them and helping them to become the little individuals that they are.
Led by two staff members, the nursery is in safe hands and I couldn't recommend it any more. Wishing you all the best and thank you so much for being a part of our journey!

An amazing experience! I cannot fault the team and their dedication to my twins. The leadership and support from the Manager is evidence and my children have come on leaps and bounds. I believe the focus on curriculum in pre-school has been paramount for the successful transition of my little ones into
big school! I couldn't thank the team enough for their kindness, compassion and for looking after my daughters as if they were their own. Thank you so much to the Manager and the team for making my experience such a wonderful one! I'd recommend to anybody.

The Manager and her team are truly wonderful.
They have all earned the esteemed title of 'auntie,' a great honor.
I would feel entirely comfortable entrusting my child to their kind and attentive care.
Thank you very much for all the care you have provided over the years.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery is lovely - it's a beautiful, clean space. The staff are very friendly and cooperative with parents. One staff member in particular in the Tots Room is a big reason I feel comfortable leaving my son there without worrying too much. She gives so much attention to each child, as if they were
her only one, and really makes sure both the child and the parent feel happy and reassured. She also follows up on each child's development, making sure they're hitting important milestones like walking, communication, speech, and self-expression. It's clear she genuinely cares about their progress.

Since our son started attending this nursery, his speech has significantly developed and he started playing with his sister instead of disturbing her. After about 6 months, they started communicating with each other, singing songs together, which made them happier.
The nursery staff are very welcoming
and caring, and I believe that nursery administration and management are high level of competence. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter came to this kindergarten after a not very successful experience in the previous one, where she went with complete reluctance and in the end refused to go at all. To our surprise, after the first week of visiting, she was simply delighted and now constantly asks us to take her to the kindergarten
to play with the children.


The kindergarten has a great playground on site and the rooms are filled with lots of interactive activities. The teachers are active, attentive and involved in the child's development process, and this is very noticeable.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for just over a year now and we love it.
She's always enthusiastic about going and seems to have a great relationship with the gang that works there. I've always found the staff to be helpful and kind. As a parent, I am completely at ease leaving my daughter
in their care. I enjoyed the stay and plays that they host and recently got to avail of the fantastic hairdresser who visited them.
I also love the variety of food that my daughter is offered there. I would never have thought to make some of the dishes she has been served there and it turns out she loves them. So thank you to the wonderful chefs working there also.

Our daughter has been attending Kids Planet Salford Quays for over one year now and she absolutely loves it. She runs into the room in the morning and leaves at the end of the day with a big smile on her face. All the staff are friendly, and caring and have a genuine interest in the children's development.

We started our little one at Kids Planet Salford Quays just before they turned one. Not an easy time for any parent - particularly when you're juggling the settling period with your return to work post maternity leave and your little one is a classic Velcro baby.
As expected the first weeks were emotional
for both parents and baby but Kids Planet (baby room) made sure they could do all possible to help our little girl settle in. Whether that be allowing sleeping bags from home, favourite teddies or comfort items or simply trying to understand what it was that comforted our child most when they felt sad.
After a fair few weeks of tailoring care to make our daughter feel as comfortable as possible, she now loves her 3 days a week at nursery. Meals are healthy and balanced, activities are fun and always logged on the app and the team genuinely cares. They've made the nursery transition a happy one and we hope our daughter has many happy memories and experiences to come.

My daughter started at Kids Planet at only 6 months old, the staff was so helpful and supportive, they took good care of her and helped us with the transition. My daughter was always happy to go to nursery, we had daily photos of the activities (that were always new and helped her development) and we
could tell she really was stimulated and loved. Unfortunately, we had to move out of Manchester and change nursery, but we will always remember how lovely Kids Planet's staff has been with us and how they cared for our daughter. I would highly recommend it!

It is close to where we live, with parking on site for drop off and collection. The only negative from our perspective, especially my child's, is that there is not always fruit available for kids to have on collection. My child enjoys her fruits after her sessions.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.831)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.831) out of 10 for Kids Planet Salford Quays 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.831 for Kids Planet Salford Quays is calculated as follows: ( (319 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 372 Ratings = 4.831
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Salford Quays is based on 31 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 136 number of registered child places is 27.2, which has been reached with 31 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
