Review from Jessica C (Mother of Child) published on 17 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
An amazing team of people where you can tell their job brings them satisfaction and joy which has had a massive influence on our child's life and the fact he absolutely loves coming to nursery says it all! The staff always have time for you and your concerns as a parent. My son loves the unique and
fun activities each person spends time in creating and I can see how much he's developed and settled in since joining this nursery. Really good focus on dietary requirements and meals as well. My main feedback would be to highlight how much the staff are having to do at the moment, I assume due to staff shortage, although they never moan, I can still see how hard they are working. Another little pointer would be to improve the app as others are much more effective and user friendly. Similarly, the updates and publishing food/nap/nappies are slow and mostly after handover but I appreciate that ties in with staff workload and it has improved recently as well. All in all, I love that my son goes here and he does too!

The staff are excellent at this nursery. They're friendly, caring, passionate and very good at what they do. Our child has lots of fun at the nursery but also benefits from educational activities at the same time. The food is varied and healthy. The environment is clean and tidy (which mustn't be an
easy job to maintain, but staff do it very well regardless). The nursery is also very safe and the children's welfare is clearly a high priority. I'd highly recommend Kids Planet Salford Quays!

We're really happy with Kids Planet, they have some great staff who my little boy loves. They make such an effort to ensure the children have fun days and they often go on trips out of the nursery which my little boy has so much fun on! He'll be sad to leave in August to start school!

I'm so impressed with the educational programs at this nursery! The staff is wonderful at incorporating learning into playtime, and the education is engaging and age-appropriate. My child picked up new skills and knowledge. It's amazing to see how much they're learning and love coming to nursery every
day!

We just moved from France to UK and our son has been going to Kids Planet Salford Quays for almost 2 months, 3 days a week and I’m really happy with everything. I can feel that my son enjoys his time there.
Even if I’m French and my English is not perfect I had no issue with the staff since everyone
is really kind and helpful.

We found the nursery staff very caring, very approachable and, most importantly, very patient with our queries and the effort they took to address those queries.
Our child went here for almost a year and was very happy throughout - made friends, improved communication, learned to eat his food and learned
to share.
Overall, a very satisfying experience.

Our son has been at Kids Planet for a year, and we are so happy with our decision to move him here. He has thrived and staff have supported his development brilliantly. All staff in pre school know him well, plan engaging activities and ensure he is happy. The management team also go above and beyond
to meet the needs of parents and plan engaging enrichment opportunities. He has particularly loved the Kids Love 2 Party sessions!

Kids Planet is a beautiful nursery with lovely play areas, toys and lots of activities to engage the kids and definitely got amazing staff that supported my son in settling in when we started in Jan 2022. I would say there has been a significant improvement in his speech and interaction with other kids.
My child loves going to nursery every single day which gives me so much joy. Choosing Kids Planet was one of the best decisions I made.

My two boys go into nursery with smiles on their faces. Staff members are really helpful with every milestone of their development. They talk about friends and staff with positive attitudes. The nursery is clean and inviting for them. I'm happy where they attend on weekdays and, most importantly, they
are happy too.

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.
