The nursery and care they provide to my child is amazing. However, the updates on the app (pictures etc) is very bare minimum which is quite disappointing. Besides that we love the nursery, the staff are extremely friendly and very easy to get along with.

Kids Planet take great care to keep parents informed about activities the children are engaged in, the meals they have had and any other information about the day. The staff plan varied and interesting things to keep the children occupied and feedback when milestones are hit. Very happy with the care
my child receives.

My Son has been attending Kids Planet Swinton since he was 4 months old and is now 19months old. He has built some lovely connections with the girls which is heart warming to see. He thoroughly enjoys nursery and has learnt so many skills. They take the children on walks to the local park, library,
and supermarkets. They promote engagement with seasonal events such as valentines, mother and Father's Day, Easter, Halloween and Christmas. As well as awareness days and weeks for causes such as breast cancer, nurses day and children in need. My son comes home whilst celebrating these occasions in nursery with something he has made from that day. We get pictures on the app along side pictures on paintings. A huge thank you to all the staff especially the tots and baby room.

The girls in the baby room are fantastic. My little boy is so excited to come to nursery every morning. Four members of staff in particular are so lovely and have a genuine love for babies. The learning that takes place is great too. They do lots of painting activities and my little boy has really developed
since starting here.

Kids Planet Swinton has been an amazing choice of nursery for my son. He absolutely loves it too, he runs to the door every time. All the staff are very friendly and have built a bond with him which is great. They do lots of fun activities and update on parent zone so you can have a look and see what
your child has been up to throughout the day. The meal choices are amazing too, the choices are very healthy which my son loves. I love the facilities too and the outside areas are great for learning. I would highly recommend this nursery to my friends and family. Keep up the good work and thank you to all the amazing staff.

My son has had the most amazing start to his nursery life at Kids Planet Swinton in the baby room. The staff are so attentive, warm and inviting and they actively enjoy their work.
I'm kept up to date everyday on the app with pictures of my sons activities, his food and his naps and everyone is always
on hand when I arrive for drop off and pick up with a full rundown of what sort of day he's had and always happy to answer any of my questions.
Best of all my son is so happy here and is always smiling when he sees the ladies in the baby room.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. They are always willing to help and support us with whatever needs we have. Our son has settled in amazingly here, he loves going to nursery and I love hearing the feedback of his day. The nursery also keeps me informed on his daily activities via an app so I
feel reassured that he is having the best time and in good hands. Love seeing the pictures of him throughout the week.

My son has been attending the nursery for over a year now and I have absolutely no concerns about his care at his nursery. The staff are all so caring, kind, professional, and generally amazing. The love and care they show my boy on a daily basis is magical. My boy has come on beautifully under the
guidance and kindness of all the lovely staff here. He absolutely loves being there and I honestly couldn't be happier with Kids Planet Swinton. They have also been sympathetic and caring to me when I have had some bad days, they are simply all good, nice people.

Both of my children have attended Kids Planet in Swinton, and they've absolutely adored their time there. The workers are patient and kind, helping children really come out of their shells and learn and grow. I would absolutely recommend Kids Planet to anyone that's looking for a nursery they can be
confident in, and know that their littles will be well looked after.

What a fantastic nursery! After a troubled start at another nursery, we were so thrilled to come across Kids Planet Swinton - what a hidden gem! The staff are all fantastic in the baby room and throughout the senior team also. My little girl has settled in so well and that is down to the attentive staff
who have a genuine care for the children and in-depth knowledge and understanding of what it takes to work with little ones. I go to work worry-free, confident that she is in the best hands and having a wonderful time.

I cannot express my gratitude enough for all at Kids Planet, my son has come on leaps and bounds from the start and continues to thrive in the loving and homely environment.
The highlight of my day is hearing about all of the lovely and beautiful things he's got up to and producing some amazing masterpieces
which I will treasure always.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has attended from being 10 months old. We picked this nursery as it felt right for our location, good security, clean, great outdoor space, and lovely staff. We have had the experience of baby rooms, tots, and now toddlers. The activities that are organised by the staff are amazing sometimes
bringing in external support e.g. hairdressers, sports and performing arts. Lots of fun for all the children but always something involved in the way of learning and development. I feel the staff genuinely care for my child and treat them like they would their own and also they look out for us parents taking the time to check-in. Food is fabulous some days I wish I could stay myself and my child is a very fussy eater at home but eats most meals they prepare and sometimes seconds. This is an all-inclusive nursery so nappies, wipes, and meals included within the fee (non-funded hours) is very convenient means only taking spare clothes. The app is easy to use and updated regularly. Best nursery around!

Kids Planet Nursery Swinton is a fantastic nursery, my child has been attending since she was 14 months old and is now 3. The staff in all the rooms from Babies to Preschool are great with the children and the nursery manager is smiley and welcoming to the children and parents. The staff are enthusiastic
about the activities they plan for the children and I feel that the nursery is a great place for the children to learn and develop. The staff are lovely and approachable and they put in lots of effort to ensure the children are reaching their potential.

Absolutely amazing nursery and clean. My daughter was brought in around November time after transferring and they took her in perfectly. They take their time to understand each child and meet their needs. I would highly recommend sending your kids here as you know they are safe and well looked after.
Always fed proper food too. I love my daughter's placement here.

My son has been attending this nursery since April 2024, and has just moved up from babies into tots and has already settled in so well. Every member of staff we have encountered since he started have been warm, friendly, and welcoming. They keep us updated throughout the day, and then more so when
we pick him up. It is amazing to see how much he has come on since starting here, and how much he loves being there! Would certainly recommend this nursery to anyone!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.939)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.939) out of 10 for Kids Planet Swinton 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.939 for Kids Planet Swinton is calculated as follows: ( (373 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 395 Ratings = 4.939
  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 Swinton is based on 33 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 125 number of registered child places is 25, which has been reached with 33 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.
