Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
I had many different problems with them when my son attended. He was only there two days and I pulled him out within the first week. The manager is rude and becomes aggressive about money. When I wanted to pull my son out she was agitated and rude to me about why I wanted to pull him out. They told
me he had been morngy all day which I find very unprofessional, they were charging me for his dinners which is fine but then never encouraged him to eat just left him to it. I was told to bring his own water bottle for covid and was coming home not touched which makes me believe he went five hours without even a drink of water. On the visit to look at the nursery, the manager said I was not allowed to ring in and ask how he was doing as they had a parent app that uploaded photos throughout his day. I never received one photo, I wouldn't recommend, this nursery was a horrible experience, they make it sound brilliant when really it isn't and will be going to Ofsted about it all.

My little boy has been attending the nursery since January 2019 when he was eleven months and so he has grown up with the staff. He’s always been well looked after and the manager is always willing to answer any queries straight away. They were great while closed over lockdown in 2020 and even called
us during this time to check how our little boy was. Since going back I’ve been hugely appreciative of all the steps they’ve taken to keep all the children safe. They have managed to make the nursery fun, with smiles on their faces despite the difficult situation of wearing face visors. All the workers are lovely and the app they use to provide updates is really reassuring while myself and my husband have been at work.

My daughter started this nursery a half year ago. I was very worried how she would adapt, especially while during Covid-19 as she wasn't socialising. At first she did cry, but amazing support was given, not only for her, but for me as well and she is going to nursery with a big smile now. An app is
used to record a child's day where observation, pictures, meals and information is posted, which I find very informative and useful. Thanks for amazing work Kinder Haven @ Town Gate Wyke.

My daughter has been at Kinder Haven for 2 years now (she’s 3 years old) and I’m still 100% happy with the amazing service and care they provide for my little one. I really enjoy getting daily updates of activities on the app so I can talk about her day with her. She loves nursery and the development
they give her is fantastic- she’s absolutely thriving. My daughter is regularly coming home and talking about one practitioner, she wanted to invite her to her birthday party and this morning when leaving, was excited wondering if she would see this person today. It’s so reassuring that your child has built up such a good relationship at nursery, in my mind, this shows what a fabulous job they are doing. Thank you to all of the staff at Kinder Haven Wyke, you do a great job and we really appreciate you.

My daughter has recently transferred to a new room. The transition has gone well and she loves going to nursery. A member of staff has moved rooms also which I think has helped. The girls are really friendly and happy to answer any of my questions.
The only thing I would say is that ahead of transition
some of the differences could have been explained for example meals are no longer added to the app. This could be my fault though as we were on holiday at the end of August.
We are no longer allowed on the premises due to covid which is a shame as I used to enjoy watching my child interacting with her friend's upon arrival and leaving. She considers the practitioners her friends too. For example when I ask her did you play with your friends today she will say yes and the practioners name is always included when she reels off the names.

Very friendly and attentive staff, who in my opinion, provide the best home away from home care. After 5-months away from nursery, my little boy who is two with some developmental delays has phased back to three full days and is running into the nursery at drop off time. Not only is that a great sign
of a great environment, but my little boy is also much happier and playful since being back at nursery, so their care has greater lasting effects beyond the time he is there.

Review from J M (Father of Child) published on 4 September 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My child actively dislikes attending the nursery and receives limited attention from the staff.
We have witnessed staff members ignoring her and others whilst they talked amongst themselves which was noted on video and apologised for.
In addition, items taken in are not applied and apparently lost
after a week.
In addition, the nursery management actively and aggressively pursued a payment of less than £100 owed for just over a week as a result of a funding change. This despite them knowing that the fee would be paid and that the only reason for the small amount owed was a result of a change of who would make the payment due to current circumstances. This was not for example due to fees not being paid but simply a known (by them) delay whilst a small piece of funding changed to the new scheme and would be backdated for the small sum not paid upfront.
I would not recommend this nursery and can think of many other excellent providers nearby.

My child has attended this nursery for about 18 months now. I can not fault this nursery in any area. He absolutely loves going. I had previously removed him from an inadequate nursery and obviously, after my previous experience, I was nervous. I had no need to be, they tick every box and my son thrives
here. The staff are excellent and I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for child care. Thumbs up all round.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Daughter started here on September 19th when she was 18 months old for one day per week, initially on a Monday, but she didn't seem to get on well on that day, so with no hesitation, the nursery changed her day to a Friday as per my request, and she has just thrived, she cried every week for the
first couple of months, but the staff were great with her, so patient, and week by week it just got less and less, and now she is sad when she leaves. She asks every day if it's a nursery day, she talks about it all the time, storytime is her particular favourite. She has come on leaps and bounds with being more sociable and confident. I can't recommend the nursery enough.

I am extremely happy with both the level of care and education my daughter has received at Kinderhaven. My daughter started attending when it was brand new and in that time we have watched the nursery and its staff grow. The nursery clearly has brilliant management and its staff excel in their care
of the children and dedication to their development. If you want a nursery where your child will be cared for and educated, then this is the one.

Love this nursery and staff, they have worked so hard with both my daughters. My first daughter started when the nursery just opened, my other daughter started the day before her first birthday. They love coming to nursery, smiles on their faces as they approach. They clearly recognize the nursery and
enjoy there time there, they love playing and being free in the soft play room. I can't thank the staff at Kinder Haven enough for what they have done for my girls.

The nursery is of very high quality, fantastic rooms and a very warm and welcoming setting. The staff are great, my son settled immediately. The curriculum followed is great for pre-school and for helping children to adjust into pre-school life. The outdoor play area is fantastic and the food is great,
my son follows mainly a vegan diet and this was easily adjusted at the nursery. Safeguarding and security are very good and I am very happy for my son to be placed at this nursery.

My daughter started this nursery in 2017 doing 2mornings a week She was very shy and I can’t thank all the practitioners enough for helping my child develop. She is due to leave this year and i will be very sad to see her leave as the nursery is a great place of learning! My son only started at the
end of 2019 and he has learned so much already and his speech has come on so much with the help of the practitioners. The practitioners are all friendly and helpful giving the low down on what both my children have been doing. I would also like to mention the manager she is great, friendly and always happy to answer any questions I may have ?

My son has been attending this nursery for over a year now. He only goes once a week but we are so happy with the care that he is given on this day. His nana picks him up and she always has a story to tell me from the day. He's made little friends and also gained confidence in talking and learning new
words. I always get told how he has a special bond with the staff that look after him. He always seems to enjoy the meals they provide which are healthy and sound delicious. We have managed to toilet train our son with the help of the team at the nursery and the advice they gave us in preparing for this stage was really appreciated and really helped us along the way. I would have my child in more days of the week if I could as the level of early development, education and play combined is amazing. The pictures, information and updates we receive on our app when he is there is also good as being an anxious parent, it really helps to know what he is up to when I'm not with him. Always 100%.

My grandson has been coming to this nursery from the very beginning and we will be sad to see him leave in July. The practitioners are amazing and always keep us well informed about our grandson's progress whether it be in person or via the parent app. He has come on and learned a great deal since coming
here. Overall it is a fantastic nursery providing excellent childcare, along with nutritious meals which are well planned out.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.978)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.978) out of 10 for Kids Planet Wyke 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.978 for Kids Planet Wyke is calculated as follows: ( (316 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 323 Ratings = 4.978
  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 Wyke is based on 27 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 27 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.
