Review from Lauren R (Mother of Child) published on 20 August 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Lawley Village Day Nursery for 14 months now, we relocated from quite far away so we weren’t familiar with the nursery.
My mum viewed Lawley Village because she lives close by and has previously managed private nursery’s, She was very impressed so I trusted her choice to
go ahead and enrol my son.
On his first day the staff were so welcoming and friendly I even had a conversation with the cleaner who always has a smile on her face. The staff filled out a diary for my son so I could see what he had been doing every day and also updated me every evening.
14 months in and he has come on leaps and bounds! The team helped me potty train him and gave any advice I needed, the nursery facilities are very modern and the nursery also has a beautiful outdoor setting.
The nursery is spotless and constantly being cleaned.
My son has attended forest school and also diddi dance onsite. I know my son will integrate fine to school after the start he’s had here. Thank you.

I reviewed 12 nurseries before deciding Lawley was the best for my son. He’s been going 18 months now and has come on in leaps and bounds. The feeling as soon as you arrive is happy and cheery. Can’t complain at all. Services provided are excellent as well as feedback and support. The staff are excellent
and would highly recommend the nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attended Lawley Village Day Nursery from the age of 16 months. He came on leaps and bounds there and made his transition into school in September 2017.
I cannot thank the staff enough for what they did for him whilst he was in their care, it really became an extension of our family.
He has
made friends for life not only with other children but also the staff he continues to talk about his preschool teachers.
The facilities are amazing and they have everything a child needs, in a very safe and clean environment. The outdoor space is fantastic and there are lots of opportunities for children to take part in additional activities such as forest school and Diddi Dance.
My son now attends the holiday club and he really enjoys his time in there and he is very happy to see familiar friends and staff.

Fantastic nursery! We love all of the staff who make us feel welcome and important. My son's development has come on leaps and bounds since being at nursery and that is down to the fantastic staff and their hard work. The mix and availability of activities is brilliant, we love that there is such an
extensive outdoor area for the children to use. Such a lovely purpose built building with large bright rooms.

Review from Ewan (Father of Child) published on 16 November 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has attended this nursery since he was six months old and has loved every single day there. He is now three years old and still has that same happy look on his face when walking him in.


Nothing is too much trouble for the staff in the rooms or even the staff in the office. To see his development

come on leaps and bounds from attending is heartwarming and so gratifying, it is lovely to have complete faith and trust in the people caring for our only son! He loves all the interaction in his room with his friends, the staff and more than anything else he loves his freshly prepared meals.


We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for somewhere to place their child. Just go for a look around, you won't be disappointed!!

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.

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.

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: 9.3 (9.263)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.263) 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 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 18 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 4.856 for Kids Planet Lawley is calculated as follows: ( (188 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.856
  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 4.407 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Lawley is based on 18 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 = 3.95
    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. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 39.4 = 0.457
  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.
