My son has been attending kids planet Wallsend since he was 9 months old and he is now 3! He really enjoys going to nursery and always comes home to tell me about his day there!
I see on the app the huge range of activities he is involved in throughout the day and all the different rooms he moves
between which help to keep him occupied on his longer days at nursery!
He also has great relationships with all the staff throughout the nursery.

My son has been attending Kids Planet Wallsend for a year now. We had planned to move him to a school nursery for 3+ in September, but we have decided to keep him here for another year as he has built such a lovely bond with all of the staff. There are always new and engaging activities, and the team
are fully aware of and incredibly supportive of his bilateral ectrodactyly, continually encouraging him and helping him try new things with confidence.

What an incredible nursery! Girls and Aiden go above and beyond for the children. My son is always happy and coming on brilliantly, and that's down to the time and effort that comes from the incredible workers. The management team are always there to support parents and always keep us updated on the
app. They all provide the best love and guidance.

I wouldn't choose any other nurseries for my little girl to attend. They have brought her on so much, supporting her and encouraging her when needed. As a family we were going through quite a difficult time at home, the nursery didn't only support my daughter, but also supported us as a family as much
as they could. Every member of staff go above and beyond for every child that attends. They are absolutely brilliant.

My little boy has been attending Kids Planet Wallsend nursery for nearly 6 months now. We have been blown away by the care he receives here. The staff in baby room from his very first day have taken the time to get to know him and build a lovely bond. The app is always updated so we can see how he is
getting on and lots of photos and observations of his journey. We have seen a big difference in his confidence, knowledge and social skills and we are so grateful to the nursery. The nursery has a softplay on site which our boy LOVES as well as little zen zone. The staff always set up fun activities and messy play. The food must be delicious because our little boy eats everything! We don't have any tears at handover most days now and I strongly believe that's down to the incredible staff and their hard work. I feel confident each day I leave him that he is getting good quality care.

We are so glad we chose Kids Planet Wallsend. Our baby started at 11 months and although she didn't have the easiest start, the room leader and her key workers were so wonderful at helping her settle in. Now, at 15 months, she gets excited when she sees the logo on her bag as we pack it and on the side
of the building as we walk in. She loves the food, and it is clear from the photos shared on the app that she genuinely enjoys the activities too, including going to the sports hall and the soft play. As a nursery, they celebrate key events like Christmas and a UK charity, but there is no pressure for complex outfits.

Great nursery. The facilities that they have are great for each age group. Work great with parents to make sure the children are at the level they should be.
Staff are amazing and go that extra mile with the children. Lots of different food on the menu too for the children to have.

My little girl absolutely loves nursery! The staff are so kind and friendly and obviously take really good care of her. They always take the time to tell me about her day when I pick her up and it's lovely to hear what she's been up to and how much she's enjoyed herself.
There is such a great range
of toys, books and activities for the little ones so I know she's getting such a lot of learning and stimulation while she's there. As a first time parent it's so good to know that she's well taken care of and that she's learning and developing. I love the space that the nursery staff have created, it feels warm and safe and is always super clean. I would recommend the nursery to all parents in the area.

My daughter has been attending Kids Planet Wallsend since she was 9 months old, and from day one, the staff have gone above and beyond to help her settle in. She has built strong relationships with all the staff members and absolutely loves the activities. The communication between the staff and parents
is always excellent with a thorough handover provided at pickup. The nursery and outdoor area are both spacious, offering plenty of room for the children to play. The management is always approachable and ready to assist with any questions I've had. The care from the staff is exceptional, and I am so grateful for how they've contributed to my daughter's happiness during her time at the nursery. I would highly recommend kids planet to anyone.

Kids planet wallsend.. The list is endless of the most amazing things I could say about this amazing nursery..

My daughter has enjoyed every minute at kids planet over the last year and a half and we were beyond emotional saying our goodbyes. My child has made such strong bonds with her teachers/key
workers and she made some lovely friends but sadly our little ones don't stay little forever and she's moving onto her next adventure for big school in September!

The staff are amazing from the nursery staff, Management, Cleaners to the lovely cooks who keep the little one's tummy's full with delicious meals. The entire place is just a delightful place to be in. There is not a single bad thing I could say about kids planet.. I would 100% recommend.

Thank you for being part of my child's story, starting off her education journey & preparing for her a primary school environment.

Myself & my child will miss seeing everyone's happy faces everyday. Yous are all incredible!

Kids planet wallsend are very accommodating especially when I have other family members collecting my daughter, I often have to leave the pram/car seat for them and this is never an issue with the staff. When I went to visit before choosing a nursery I immediately felt happy and confident about leaving
my daughter there which is why I chose kids planet wallsend. My daughter loves it and loves all the staff their amazing with her.

My son has been going to kids planet since he was one (I think- he was at another nursery as a baby then started at kids planet) and he has absolutely loved it. I love how open the nursery is, there's so much room for the children to explore and no big doors or small rooms. Also the activities they
do are really good ie sports, softplay, playing in the garden, once they even went to a coffee shop for a babycinno!
The meals are healthy and my son usually eats things that he won't even try at home if I make them.
The staff are all lovely, especially one staff member in particular (always happy for a chat even though she stopped looking after my son ages ago!), and two other staff members
My boy is going to really miss kids planet when he leaves in a month and starts school.
The manager is always understanding and accommodating with changing personal situations etc.
This is an amazing, friendly, clean, fun! nursery and I would recommend to everyone!!

My son has been at Kids Planet Wallsend from 2 years old right up to 4, and is about to leave now to go to reception. What an amazing nursery with such thoughtful, caring and loving staff. My son has enjoyed every single day at nursery and has loved each of his teachers/key workers. I can leave my child
each day knowing that he is well looked after and his needs are met at an outstanding level. Thank you so much to Kids Planet Wallsend for having such a huge impact on my child's development and for making him feel so welcome and loved. I will continue to recommend this nursery to everyone I know!

My son moved to Kids Planet Wallsend last year after an unsuccessful period at another nursery. His experience at Kids Planet has been fantastic and moving him was the best decision we could have made. He has made friends there and has a close bond with several staff members. He has some allergies and
health needs which have been accommodated without him ever missing out. When we had concerns about his development the staff were reassuring and supportive, providing really helpful insight.
I was initially concerned about their outdoor space, in comparison to others, but my son gets plenty of exercise and loves the sports hall as well as the softplay and the garden.

My daughter has been coming to this nursery for almost a year, im so glad I picked kids planet I was really anxious about putting her in but all the staff were so reassuring, no phonecall or question was ever a bother. Shes learned so much during her time here, shes gained so much confidence, skills
such as using a open top cup, using cutlery etc. I honestly dont have a bad word to say about it, the staff go above and beyond. The chef makes a huge variety of food and she has tried so many new things which has also been a huge bonus for us. All round amazing nursery, would highly recommend!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.820)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.820) out of 10 for Kids Planet Wallsend 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.820 for Kids Planet Wallsend is calculated as follows: ( (309 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 334 Ratings = 4.82
  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 Wallsend is based on 27 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 120 number of registered child places is 24, which has been reached with 27 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.
