Brilliant nursery. My little boy loves going. Proper homemade meals are served which has massively helped his fussy eating. Plenty of activities and he loves the indoor soft play as well as the outside pirate ship and Guinea pigs.

My son has attended Wallsend day nursery since September 2019 and has developed leaps and bounds thanks to their wonderful staff.
When he first started he was a little unsure (new faces etc.) but now he goes running in every time to see his favourite staff members.
In short, I could not recommend
this place highly enough and it blows the competition out of the water.

I love how spacious this nursery is compared to others, I love all the different activities the children do every day and the on-site soft play but I mostly love how caring the staff are; I always had peace of mind knowing my babies would be cuddled to sleep if they needed it or they were ever upset.
Amazing place with amazing staff.

We love this nursery, and more importantly, my child loves this nursery! She has been going to this nursery since she was 1 and it has been brilliant for her development and enjoyment. The nursery surroundings and settings are great and the staff are brilliant with her. We will be very sad when it
comes to the time when she moves on to big school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my children enjoy their time at Wallsend Day Nursery - the activity plans are really great, always lots of variation in the activities on offer both in sessions and holiday club. The building is really great too - lots of space for play, outdoor area, soft play and a multi-purpose sensory room.
The staff have been exceptional - getting to know my children well, understanding and respecting their likes and dislikes and meeting their needs on every level. Myself and my husband are really happy with the care and service we receive and would certainly recommend Wallsend Day Nursery to others.

Cannot rate this day nursery high enough. We contacted them to make an enquiry and managed to get a tour of the site on the same day. We were blown away by the facilities they have on offer so we booked in some introductory visits the following week. The layout of the building has been well thought
through with the added bonus of their own soft play, on-site chef, sensory room and outside play area. All the staff have been professional, caring and accommodating. An extremely well-run nursery, with each child having a key worker and thorough handovers given upon collection.

My daughter has settled into this nursery extremely well. The staff have really taken time over the summer to get to know her and have recognised and nurtured all of her likes and talents. The staff have been great and very attentive.

My child has been at Wallsend Day Nursery for 2.5 years. Throughout this time the staff have been incredibly supportive. I cannot fault the level of care. All staff have taken the time to get to know my child and tailor their care to suit individual personality and needs. Whenever my child has come
home with an issue, a quick chat to the key worker and it’s dealt with and everyone is reassured. The facilities are excellent and the activities are varied and wide-ranging.

My little girl loved this nursery and the staff that cared for her during her time here. The staff cared for her as if she was their own and were very approachable and accommodating. The office was also very efficient and happy to help with any queries I had regarding payments and funding. I would recommend
this nursery to all.

Great nursery. Both of my sons have attended Wallsend day nursery and both of them have loved their time here. Great facilities, great food and the holiday club is fab for parents needing school holiday cover. The staff are second to none, extremely friendly, nothing is ever a bother and both of mine
have formed some really special bonds with the staff as have I as their mum. I would thoroughly recommend this nursery. I’ve never left them ever with a worry in my mind that they are being cared for brilliantly and I’ll really miss it when the youngest starts school next year. Thanks for all you do.

I would fully recommend Wallsend Day Nursery, the nursery is always clean and welcoming and the staff are just lovely. They really do care about the job they do and it shows as my son has really warmed to each of the members of staff he has been with throughout his time there. He has had some difficult
times and the nursery has been completely supportive with me and my son. Giving guidance where needed and I can’t thank them enough. My son was really anxious, to begin with, and doesn’t take to change well and the staff have always made sure he is comfortable and take the time with him. Thanks for everything we will miss you all when he starts reception class in September x

My daughter moved to Wallsend Day Nursery after the closure of previous nursery provision. From day one she has loved Wallsend Day Nursery and we as parents have been hugely impressed. The staff are very dedicated to making the experience as enjoyable as possible for our daughter and she has thrived
because of it. Excellent facilities including the soft play area and the outside space allowing children to experience a range of activities. Wallsend Day Nursery has been instrumental in our daughter's development and happiness during her younger years. We would strongly recommend anyone to put their child into Wallsend Day Nursery, we cannot speak highly enough about the place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child started at Wallsend Day Nursery when he was 9 months old. He has settled into the nursery really well, we couldn’t have chosen a better nursery for him to attend.
We both (parents) go to work knowing he’s having so much fun, we know this by the smiles we get once we collect him.


The staff

are amazing, always willing to help with any issues you may have or just general enquires. Our child has an amazing key worker who we know he gets along with really well. We couldn’t fault any of the staff we have met in any way.


We receive regular updates of my child's development through an app, which we can access to see what he has been up to whilst he’s at nursery. We love hearing about his days at nursery.


The facilities at the nursery are amazing, our child loves being outdoors and their garden is great, it has so much for them to do.


We couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. We are so happy we chose this nursery for our child.

My son has attended Wallsend Day Nursery since he was 9 months old and is now 2 and a half. Although he only attends one day a week, he has settled with all members of staff throughout the rooms. The staff are friendly, professional and supportive. The facilities are fantastic at this nursery and the
additional activities, such as the Christmas fair really allows parents and families to be involved.


Any concerns and questions are answered quickly by staff and management which is reassuring. As a teacher, I am happy yo say I would recommend this nursery to anyone considering it.


Leaving your child for the first time is daunting, however, Wallsend Day Nursery provides a lovely, safe and caring environment.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.713)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.713) 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 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 4.796 for Kids Planet Wallsend is calculated as follows: ( (254 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.796
  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 4.917 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Wallsend is based on 22 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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 22 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.917
  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.
