The nursery is amazing and the staff are lovely. My son struggled this time last year to communicate and be around others and since starting here at Kids Planet he’s come along nicely with his speech and forming relationships with staff and class mates. They’re all well prepared for anything and nothing
is too much to handle for them. Thank you.

Excellent day nursery. My daughter has settled in very well in babies room, her communication skills have developed greatly in the last few months and I can’t thank all the staff enough for taking so good care of her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started just after her 2nd birthday (she will be 4 in January) she wouldn’t settle in her previous nursery however she absolutely loves it here. I have really seen her come on with her learning since she started Kids Planet and she regularly mentions the staff names at the weekend during
activities. I would just like to thank all the staff at Kids Planet for the fantastic job your doing, especially two members of staff in particular, one being such a lovely girl always a smile on her face in and out of work - my daughter never stops talking about real assets to the nursery. I would highly recommend this nursery in the future to friends and family.

I changed my baby from a different nursery and I can say without a doubt I’m not regretting at all.
This is 100% the best nursery with wonderful staff and my baby adapted and settled very quickly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter started nursery in September. She was still very young so we were very apprehensive about how she would settle and if she would like it. We needn’t have been! She absolutely loves it, her development has come on leaps and bounds and we always know she is safe and well looked after. The
staff have been incredible. They already know our little one really well and can recognise what she needs or if she’s not feeling herself. Their communication has been great and the staff are always welcoming and friendly. We get a full update about what she has been doing in the day and we couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery. Definitely would recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandson joined the nursery when he was 2, he settled in quickly due to the staff who are fantastic. The rooms and outside area are secure and well equipped with plenty of room and a great variety of toys and activities. He has learnt so much, his speech has really developed and he knows and sings
all the nursery songs. He has learnt numbers colours shapes. It’s great that we get sent pictures of him playing and learning and told what he’s had to eat and drink, the meals are healthy and varied with plenty of fruit and vegetables. We get regular updates of how he is doing and staff are always happy to chat when he is dropped off or collected and he is always happy to be left. He has made lots of friends and has a great relationship with them and all the staff who look after him. He is such a happy settled and polite little boy. Fantastic nursery, couldn’t ask for more.

I just wanted to thank you and all of your staff at Kids Planet, Swinton for the time that my child has spent at your nursery in toddlers and then tots.


My child's speech has come on leaps and bounds and your staff have taught her to use the toilet and also to use her manners amongst many other

things.


She is a very bright little girl and a lot of that is down to the time and effort you and your team have put into her development.


I can’t thank you all enough I think the nursery and staff are very professional and fantastic overall, if we hadn’t relocated she would still be with you at Kids Planet now.


I would like to say a big thank you to the staff in tots room, they were always fantastic with my child and made a big effort to do a full positive handover whenever I collected her, which was reassuring, they were just brilliant!


Anyway thanks again, please pass this email on to the staff from us!


Kind regards.

Unfortunately, we didn’t like it because of a few issues. We immediately stopped sending our kid without serving notice. We are still being asked to pay for the notice period, even raising concerns. Toddlers room.

My daughter has attended this nursery for the last year and I cannot praise the staff enough. My daughter is really happy at the nursery and has developed really well. We get regular communications, evaluations on how she is doing and lots of pictures with daily updates on what she has eaten, how long
she has slept and nappy changes. She doesn't attend on a Friday but hasn't missed out on celebrations or activity days as everything is spread out through the week. They have been really supportive and helpful with potty training. Any contact from myself has been picked up quickly.

The nursery took my daughter on halfway through the year in 2020 and she has come on leaps and bounds. With the help of the nursery staff, she can now say words that she couldn’t say before she has now stopped biting. I've seen such a difference in a year, she’s still got a long way to go but she’s
getting there. It’s all thanks to the staff and Kidz Planet Nursery - Swinton I would definitely recommend that nursery.
Reply from Sophie Logan at Kids Planet SwintonThank you Claire for your review, the team do work really hard and I'm so happy you can see the difference they make within your child's development and behaviour.

My daughter joined Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Swinton, in March 2021 when she was 9 months old. They made it so easy for her to settle in, she loves the activities and the meals. They provide a variety of activities and opportunities that unfortunately I just cannot at home. She’s always so excited
to go in and hates to leave.

My grandson has attended this nursery since it opened so he has experienced all aspects of it. I couldn't be happier and impressed with his experiences throughout his time here. Staff are friendly and very caring. Management are brilliant approachable and helpful. I think Kids Planet Swinton go above
and beyond for the children and make sure every day is fun and beneficial to the developmemt of the children in their care.

Our 9-month-old has loved going to kids planet in Swinton, 2 days a week. We love getting updates on the app and also being told how much fun he has had when we collect him. He loves spending time with the staff and can already see a big change in him since he has been going to the nursery.

My daughter has loved being at this nursery. The staff are all amazing and have been brilliant with my little girl. The manager is always so helpful and can’t do enough to help. I receive lots of updates, so I can see what activities they have been doing, what she has eaten and how long she has slept.
They do lots of different things each day and loads of outdoor play too. The nursery itself is always spotless. I can’t fault anything about it. I will be so sorry when she has to leave.

I can not fault anything about this nursery. By far the most welcoming provider - from enquiring about nurseries in general to helping my children settle in their rooms to helping provide a solid routine through this crazy lockdown. The girls and manager are faultless in how they run the nursery and
the care and attention of the children. Continuously making sure my little ones enjoy their time at nursery while also offering so much support to the parents as well. Nothing is too much trouble.

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 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 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.
