Review from Mandy M (Guardian of Child) published on 1 May 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My niece has attended Wallsend Day Nursery since she was a baby. The staff there are so caring and passionate about what they do. My niece has made lots of friends and has been given so many learning opportunities throughout her time at nursery.
The facilities are fantastic and give her the opportunity
to explore lots of areas, for example, they have a big soft play and a multi-function room where children can dance and move around physically. Outside play is encouraged and I know that my niece spends a lot of time out there with her friends taking part in lots of fun activities. The management team have shown both myself and my niece lots of support in recent months following my special guardianship at a time that has been very hard for both of us I have found great support.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both me and my son love the nursery and the staff in it. My son has been in it for around 2 years now and from the start, every member of staff in the whole nursery have made the effort to know every child's name, interests and family etc. It doesn't feel like he is just a number, he is a part of a
big family within the nursery and is so advanced for his age due to the amazing staff that have worked with him during his time there. Couldn't fault them at all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Wallsend nursery is fantastic! They are so supportive of parents, flexible and understanding. My daughter is very happy going into nursery. She has grown and developed so much over the last year and she knows she is safe.
The staff are fantastic, there is a low turnover which is very reassuring, with
regular faces to be seen regularly.
The food served to the children is healthy, fun and enjoyable.
There is nothing negative I could say about this nursery! My daughter is the last of 4 children and I wouldn’t leave her with just anyone!
Highly recommended.

My son has attended the nursery since January 2019 and I am very pleased with the care he receives. He loves the nursery and has really good relationships with all of the staff in his room. The staff are friendly and I always feel welcome and I am given lots of feedback about his day. I would definitely
recommend this nursery to others!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Friendly staff.
My daughter trusts her teachers implicitly.
Very safe and clean.
Varied teaching methods used.
Outdoor space is fantastic.
Large indoor facilities.
Canteen facilities for breakfast and lunch which ensure children are in a school like lunch setting.
On one occasion, my husband
went to collect my daughter who the staff had only met once. He was immediately met by a teacher and asked to get me from the car so I could validate who he was before he collected our daughter.

My daughter has been going here since April 2017. She has been well cared for and educated and has made good friends here. Sad that she will be moving in September.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Great nursery. My son started in August 2018 just after his second birthday, he cried, I cried. The staff were fabulous with him. He can’t wait to get there now. I love seeing all his photos and updates on Tapestry and the facilities are brilliant, indoor and out.
I’d recommend it to everyone.


Thank

you girls!

Review from Nicola C (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started a year ago in the middle of the term, as her nursery was told it was closing and she was made to feel welcome straight away by everyone. She is very shy and I thought it would be a nightmare but she loves it, big bright rooms, lots of space to play and lots of books and activities
to do, especially the soft play. The nursery also offered holiday club at a reasonable price which is a great help. I feel my daughter's confidence has grown due to the staff, and learning activities they do as a group and with her.

You won't find facilities like these at any other nursery. All staff are attentive towards my son and his individual needs. His speech has blossomed in a short amount of time at Wallsend Day Nursery. In my opinion, it's the best in the area.

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.
