We absolutely love Kids Planet North Wingfield and are so happy we have chosen to send our child here. He has progressed hugely in every area since he started in April 2023 and we will be so sad when he leaves this summer. He's made lots of new friends and also has fantastic relationships with all the
staff, especially his key workers. He speaks so highly of them, as do we! They are all so kind, caring and imaginative; they're always providing new activities and ideas. We've especially loved hearing of the new Udeskole approach which has built brilliantly on their existing outdoor learning initiatives. We know our child is in safe hands at Kids Planet and love the regular updates we receive through the app. Thank you so much for you all do!

We absolutely love this nursery for our son. The nursery is outstanding, they always provide the best care for the children. We get updated all the time through an app where we receive pictures and information throughout the day - this is very comforting.
He loves exploring outdoors and with kids
planet he is able to do this. We can't believe how much he has come on since going here! His speech, development and confidence has grown tremendously.
The meals provided on a daily basis are always changing, our son seems to love all meals. We even have the recipes at home for us to make!
All the girls working there are up to standards , we absolutely love seeing everybody when dropping River off. The manager is very friendly and is always there when needed!
We definitely recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been attending this Nursery since September 2023. Before starting, she was invited for settling visits to help with the transition - even before starting, the staff were so welcoming and happy to answer any questions. We needed a care plan put together due to daily medication; The manager
and the team made sure to go over this thoroughly which really eased our minds.
It has been wonderful to see the progress and friendships our daughter has made. She will also often come home talking about the staff.
Our daughter loved both the baby room and nursery room and has now started in the preschool room. It is clear that all the staff absolutely love their jobs; they provide lovely creative activities whilst ensuring all the rooms have a calm, nurturing atmosphere. We have also been impressed with the recent introduction of 'Udeskole' and have loved seeing pictures of our daughter toasting marshmallows around a fire pit! The app is great and we love seeing what she gets up to!

Fabulous nursery, with the most amazing team of staff who are so committed, creative and caring. We couldn't be happier with our experience and have recommended it to many of our friends. A true family feel; it feels like home from home for our little girl - she loves it! She is always making progress,
and the nursery always keeps you updated daily. She also loves the food. We are so pleased we picked here. Thank you, Kids Planet North Wingfield! Xx

This is a fantastic nursery. The staff have worked absolute wonders for my son and he has come on leaps and bounds since starting here. His confidence has grown massively and he will now do things he would not do before starting nursery. Would highly recommend it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is an excellent nursery. The baby room have been amazing with my child, from a difficult settling-in period to now, she is so happy and confident at nursery. She has a special bond with her keyworker who goes above and beyond. There is a great balance between learning and development and having
fun and they are always doing different activities. They cater to each individual child with their routine and most of the time provide regular updates through the app. Any issues have been sorted and communicated quickly and effectively. I always recommend this nursery to anyone who asks. Thanks for all of your hard work, you make leaving my child in someone else's care much easier!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter (autistic child) has had the most amazing support and care at Kids Planet. She has progressed beyond what I thought possible. My eldest (now 7) went here as a toddler too. The care for both my children years apart has been consistent and I am unable to say a single bad word about any interactions
I’ve ever had. I wish they had an after school club because my daughter leaving next year makes me genuinely sad.

Our experience with Kids Planet has been absolutely incredible. The care and attention towards both our children is so evident in their development and they love all the staff that they’ve been put with so much. We’ll be very sad when they move up to school and can’t thank the girls enough for all the
support and kindness towards our babies. I’d recommend and do recommend to everyone. Thank you so much.

We used this nursery for our eldest child as well as now and we have never had a problem. The staff are fab and they nurture the children. They do lots of activities throughout the day keep it fun for them to encourage them to learn. If you feel your child needs support in certain areas they are happy
to help in their development.

My little boy has been going to Kids Planet North Wingfield since he was a baby and is now about to leave for school.
The staff are really lovely and friendly and genuinely care about the needs and what is best for the children.
He loves going and I am sure he definitely will miss going in September

My little boy has been attending this nursery for just over a year now and absolutely loves going. He has great relationships with all his carers and they are always so welcoming and friendly. I have seen him progress in his development too and they always are doing great stimulating activities to help
further their development. You can see they all have a great passion for what they do

Kids Planet North Wingfield is an amazing pre school where my son has thrived since he joined. They do anything to cater to the kids every needs from their own routines, to the food they like and how they learn best. They go above and beyond to make sure you are kept in the loop the whole time they
have your children in their care. My son loves going to school and I feel comfortable and confident that he is being well looked after when he is there. I can't thank the girls enough for what they have done for my son since he joined

The nursery is really clean, staff are friendly and happy to chat about your child's day. They send regular messages home about what they are up to. If you have any issues with your child's behaviour, ie eating habits, they are enthusiastic to help you work through any problems. They try to mimic home
routines as much as possible.

My grandson recently started at North Wingfield nursery after his previous nursery closed down. After seeing the care and structure of Kids Planet I wish I had placed him here sooner. The staff in the preschool are always very welcoming and happy to fill me in on how his day's been and never make me
feel rushed to leave. My grandson has come on in his speech and learning in just the few weeks that he's been there. The food supplied to him is amazing and always an alternative if he doesn't like the main offered. Really highly recommend this fantastic setting and can't thank the staff enough.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.965)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.965) out of 10 for Kids Planet North Wingfield 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.965 for Kids Planet North Wingfield is calculated as follows: ( (278 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.965
  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 North Wingfield is based on 24 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 24 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.
