Would not recommend if you have a SEN child.
The issue with this nursery is upper management, my son was in this nursery for less than a year and the upper management refused to train their staff in SEN and decided to completely remove my son from the nursery because they could not learn how to teach
and nurture a child who has additional needs.
This left me without any childcare for my son and I had to get in touch with Kids planets director to come to a conclusion and receive a massive apology.
I would not send your child here if they have any type of SEN or additional needs.

I am very pleased that my child attends here. He is very happy and has thrived. He enjoys his time here and has made friends with the children and the staff. The city centre location is great because I work there so it is not far for us to walk. There is car parking outside which helps if you have a
car. I truly feel that my child is loved here and I wouldn't put him anywhere else.

The manager has always been clear, helpful and accommodating to my ever-changing work hours. She has also been super helpful arranging my finances with Universal Credit. The girls who look after my daughter all seem to really care for her, I always see my daughter busy at play during pickup. Excellent
hot food cooked daily by a lovely young male chef who uses local ingredients. Location of the nursery is fantastic for those who work in the city centre. Highly recommend.

My daughter has now attended this nursery for 3 years, she started at the age of 6 months and is now 3 and in the preschool room! Throughout that time I have always been so happy with everything, all the staff that have cared for her have provided both her and myself with a great deal of support! Would
highly recommend!

This place is amazing, 2 of my children attend the nursery, both are under 2, the nursery manager has been very helpful from the day we stepped in there. My children are still attending now and the staff are amazing and are very attentive to the children. I am very fussy when it comes to my children
attending a nursery but all the staff made me and the children feel very welcome, it feels like home away from home, hats off to all the staff.

After having a horrible pregnancy and my baby nine weeks early, you can image how anxious and nervous I was bringing my child to nursery and returning back to work! The nursery have been amazing! Helping me feel at ease, communicating my child’s needs and progress and offering advice and support. The
staff are very friendly and welcoming and the building has a warm touch to it. I cannot thank Kids Planet Oxford Place enough for making it so easy. Thank you.

Staff all really pleasant and welcoming. Management is really good and hard working and always available to help out when needed. I like that you get daily pictures and videos. They have definitely helped my son come a long away! I wish there was more skills teaching such as balance bikes. Or some kind
of a structure to educational play and free play. But that is a personal preference.

My little girl has attended nursery since she was around eighteen months old, she was delayed with her walking (didn't walk until just over two) and she is delayed with her speaking, she is now just over three. She moved up to the preschool room end of January and the progress she has made is remarkable
and somewhat amazing. I have all the staff to thank but one in particular, my child absolutely loves her. She has been listening well, trying to ask for things, repeating and counting. Anyone that knows her, this is massive. Thank you again staff you are simply brilliant.

My son has been part of Oxford Place for 1 and a half years and is very happy and settled despite being very shy towards unknown people. The staff are really kind and helpful, they really care about the kids. They do loads of activities and trips together, make great food and give good updates at the
end of each day. I'm very happy to pick my son each day with a high smile on his face. Would recommend to anyone working in or near the city centre, it's an easy pickup and drop off.

We find the staff and nursery very helpful, professional and engaging.
Communication has been fantastic from the start, from initial enquiry up to present-day queries.
Our kids love the staff and are very happy which is what we want.
We don't have a single complaint but we know that if we did that
it would be addressed and dealt with fairly and professionally.

My son has settled really well at nursery. He has created lovely relationships with the staff who always provide feedback after every day. After every week he seems to have developed a new skill. It is so reassuring that he enjoys himself and feels safe to explore and learn.

Both my children attend this setting. They love, learn and enjoy every single day they attend. The staff are lovely and friendly, and I’m always made to feel welcome. They always enjoy the resources and the activities on offer. The nursery is clean, tidy and well presented at all times. Twinkles has
advanced my child’s development in a way that, once she moves on to big school in September I have no doubts that she will just walk in and fit in full of confidence the way she does at Twinkles. Thank you for the last 2 years.

10/10 review for the staff at Twinkles. My daughter absolutely loves going to the nursery, she has made so many friends with not only the children but also the staff. I would 100% recommend this nursery. I chose it for my daughters because the girls there are so warm and lovely. Thank you to them for
making her smile every Tuesday and Friday.

Sending my son to Twinkles Oxford Place is one of my best parenting decisions. My son has been so happy and settled since he started over two years ago. The team are highly professional, warm and friendly. I also cannot fault their actions and approach to the pandemic, which has been exemplary - they
have played a key role in keeping life consistent for him during this period. The rooms themselves are well organised, and our son is well stimulated and has come in leaps and bounds. I cannot recommend Twinkles highly enough.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.169)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.169) out of 10 for Kids Planet Oxford Place - Leeds City Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 5 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.278 for Kids Planet Oxford Place - Leeds City Centre is calculated as follows: ( (57 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.278

  • b) 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 3.891 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Oxford Place - Leeds City Centre is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.5

    • ii) 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.391

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
