Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The choice to send out little boy to Lawley Village Day Nursery was an easy one. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and reassured that he would be in very safe hands.


All of the staff are so lovely and friendly. Our 10-month-old son has already built up such good relationships with so

many staff members. The staff in his room are fab, friendly and professional. They make sure that all information and photos are shared with us. They get through such a wide range of activities and games and have so much energy! It’s clear to see they have a genuine passion for working with children. The admin staff are also great and are super helpful when you’re unsure about anything. Nothing seems too much for anyone and we are always greeted with a friendly face.


Our son will stay here till he starts school and I have no hesitation in recommending Lawley Village Day Nursery to anyone. It’s clear to see that the babies and children are the focus of everything they do.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending this nursery since he was 9 months old. He is now 2 1/2 and loves coming here every day. The ladies are lovely, very approachable. My son has settled into each room well. It is a very welcoming environment and staff are very friendly and helpful. They always keep you up
to date on things happening and any important information we need to know. The learning is fantastic and my son has come on extremely well in his abilities from attending this nursery. The place is clean and kept to a good standard and the meals given are always varied and nutritional. The outside play areas are very good and the forest school classes are fantastic. I cannot fault them at all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl has attended this nursery since she was nine months old and is now two. The staff and management are faultless, they really are welcoming, friendly, open and honest. The development of my child has been fully supported and I love that this is well communicated in addition to the Learning
Book facility online, which gives me photos and updates of activities and things learnt. The building and rooms are visually pleasing. Outside area is amazing - in particular, the forest school. I know my child loves this nursery and is well looked after and cared for. I recommend this nursery to anyone who asks.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.086)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.086) out of 10 for Kids Planet Lawley 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 12 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 4.781 for Kids Planet Lawley is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.781
  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 4.305 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Lawley is based on 12 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 197 number of registered child places is 39.4. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 39.4 = 0.305
  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.
