Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is absolutely amazing!! All of the staff are incredible, they look after my babies like they are their own! They have had such a positive influence in my two little ones (2 & 4 years old) development and lives! They are supportive, and helpful! They have been so understanding and patient
as both have had difficulties with being separated! I honestly don't know what I would have done without all of them!! Thank you! They have such fun and learn so much! Xx

My little girl has been going to Kids planet for over a year. The staff are very friendly and approachable. My little girl loves it there, and we love the fact the children go out and explore every day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All three of my children have been here at this nursery. Many of the staff have seen my babies grow before starting with Kids Planet. Very happy memories here. My girls love coming to play. They are able to express there imagination to their full potential. Every day the come back with exciting news
of what they have done and achieved. There food is amazing. Not only have they helped to develop their minds, they have also helped me. The staff are so friendly, it's like home from home. Couldn't be more prouder of the amazing staff who help my girls shine

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.465)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.465) out of 10 for Kids Planet Duston is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 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 4.889 for Kids Planet Duston is calculated as follows: ( (32 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.889
  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 3.576 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Duston is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 46 number of registered child places is 9.2. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.2 = 0.326
  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.
