Fabulous nursery.
My little boy just recently went downstairs to pre school room. He's attended Kids Planet since the baby room at just 7 months old.
The staff are amazing and really look after and care for the children.
They are really good at communicating and accommodating to the needs of everybody.
We
really love sending him here as we know he loves it too.
Thankyou to all staff.

We couldn't be happier with the experience. To start with I was very apprehensive about having to send my child to nursery, however from the very first day the staff made us feel welcome and reassured. I've noticed such good progress in my daughter's confidence and independence since joining. She absolutely
loves going each morning and sometimes even cries when it's home time! They do lots of activities with the children like creative arts, outdoor play and story time. The communication is brilliant, we get regular updates through the app and some lovely pictures during the day too. I can't recommend Kids Planet enough, it's like a second home for our little one.

Such a genuine, lovely nursery! All the staff are so attentive and leave such an impression on our daughter, she knows all the staff by name and always talks about the activities she does each day she is there. The management is amazing and we never have any issues with anything and if we did we know
it would be dealt with appropriately. Our daughter has been there for over two years now and she loves it and so do we. We would recommend lepton to everyone!

Kids planet Lepton is an incredible nursery setting which I highly recommend. My daughter (who has sen needs) is consistently supported by every single staff member at the setting from the moment she arrives till her pick up time. The manager Lauren and dep Laura go above and beyond daily to help in

I am really happy with how the nursery cares for my son and daughter. My son really struggles with drop off but the staff are very supportive and try to get him settled down with kindness. My daughter is in the baby room currently and enjoying the different activities provided. I can tell she has learnt
some songs at nursery as she sings lots at home now. I think the nursery provides a good range of different and imaginative activities for the children. I would recommend.

When we moved house, I was worried my eldest would struggle with a change in nursery, but I shouldn't have been! He loves Kids Planet Lepton, and all the staff have been brilliant. He has made some lovely friends and the staff show so much care in his learning and development. My youngest also now attends
and is doing really well. Again, the staff are so good with him and you can tell they really care about providing all the children with a safe and secure environment where they can develop skills and also have fun.

Fantastic setting, all staff are amazing and always go over and above to make sure my child is happy and settled. Very experienced.
They are happy to support with anything you are encouraging at home too, such as potty training, change to nap routines etc. I would recommend this nursery without any
hesitation.

Review from S D (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our first thing is how amazing the staff are both collectively and as individuals. From our child was at 18months old until now as she is preparing for school this year (scary) the staff have always been friendly and approachable. They are all very clearly committed and the bonds our child has made
with them is amazing.
The nursery itself is amazingly laid out and the constant changes to activities and provisions for the children show they are following the children's interests and learning goals.
During her time at Kids Planet Lepton our child's speech has improved amazingly from being referred to speech and language at 2 years old, to now not requiring any further assistance is just amazing for us and shows the staff have really focused on furthering our child's skills.
We are so happy that our child has attended this setting and will be sad when her journey with you comes to an end when she leaves for school.
She always comes out saying she has had a great time.

Aspen started attending Kids Planet in Lepton in December 2024. Although he's only been there a matter of weeks, the friendly and attentive staff have clearly worked really hard to help him settle. We always receive a warm welcome, even when it's dark and late, four members of staff in particular, and
the rest of the team, have always taken the time to pass on lots of relevant information and keep us informed. There is a really positive atmosphere every time we visit with clear routines and structure. Aspen appears to have already made good progress with his communication and physical development in a short space of time and has clearly developed some really positive relationships with his nursery family. We are really glad we chose this nursery!
Thank you.

Each member of staff has been critical in supporting my child's needs. I can't thank them enough for showing such care love attention and kindness to my little boy. He has absolutely loved going to Lepton for the last 2 years. As I Parent, I have been very well-informed and kept up-to-date. The communication

My amazing child has been going to the nursery for over 3 and a bit years. The manager there is the best, she goes above and beyond for the children and company.
The deputy manager also goes above and beyond for the children. My daughter always brings nice pictures home and cards for birthdays, Christmas
etc. Thank you Kids Planet Lepton.

Both my daughters have thrived in Lepton Kids Planet thanks to the excellent, high quality care that not only includes basic level care, but actively encourages children in their development. My 3 year old will be here for another 2 years and I know they will tailor their care and support to her as
the individual she is and not expect her to fit a more rigid approach. I am so happy I chose this nursery to look after my children. I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone looking for a nursery, you will not be disappointed.

Very happy with how welcoming the staff are, not only to my son but to me also. Very helpful and informative with any questions I had. Very happy with the settling-in sessions, and my son is loving his time at nursery. Nappies and formulas are also included in the fees, which makes life so much easier.

My daughter has been coming to Kids Planet Lepton since she was eight months old; she has always had a fantastic bond with the staff - particularly her key workers throughout her time in the setting. The manager goes above and beyond every day and puts so much love into what she does; you can see that
she doesn’t just stay in the office but is hands-on in every aspect of the nursery, which shows that my daughter absolutely loves her!

My little girl started in the baby room when she was 1 year old and has recently been moved up to toddlers. She has been with Lepton Kids Planet for a year and she absolutely loves it. She runs in and doesn’t look back. She can’t wait to get there. When she moved up to the toddler room we even sent
her for an extra day every week because she loves it so much. The staff are amazing. Every single one I’ve seen in the last 12 months is brilliant. I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Since putting our daughter into Lepton we have had another baby and she will definitely be joining her sister at Kids Planet.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.961)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.961) out of 10 for Kids Planet Lepton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.961 for Kids Planet Lepton is calculated as follows: ( (173 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.961
  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 Lepton is based on 15 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 15 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.
