Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Highly recommend!


Our older daughter has loved her nearly 3 years at the setting and we're very glad she's got another year to go! Friendly staff, differentiation of learning and lots of fun.


Our younger daughter started in April and has settled so quickly. She has fun, eats loads of different

food and is happy! There has been great communication and we have always been listened to.


Since the change to KP we've really seen the benefits of the management having a wider support team to go.

Both of my children attend Kids Planet Nursery and they absolutely love it. They're always excited to go, enjoy all the meals, and are learning so much every day. It's been amazing to see how their confidence has grown through play, encouragement, and a really supportive environment.


The staff are

fantastic, and I love how everything is tracked on the app from meals and naps to learning activities and daily updates. The culture is warm, caring, and fun, and it really shows in how happy and settled the children are.


The nursery is always clean, well organised, and full of engaging toys and resources. The team is professional, approachable, and genuinely passionate about childcare. It gives me real peace of mind knowing my children are in such good hands. I couldn't recommend it more!

My youngest son has been at Kids Planet since 2022 and before that his big brother attended from 2019 to 2022. All the staff are great with the children of all ages, accommodating their needs day in, day out. They know the children better then they know themselves and at drop off we often don't get
a wave as my son is so excited to start his day. The app is great for looking at what they've got up to throughout the day and for communicating with staff. The refit has refreshed the nursery building and play equipment - the children love the space they are in and all the toys.

A fantastic nursery, from baby room through to pre school. Staff are fantastic, menu is excellent and varied. The app helps us to 'stay in touch' with our little ones and see what fun they're having etc. Would highly recommend.

Review from N S (Mother of Child) published on 4 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been with Kids Planet since 10 months old. She is turning 2 next week. My daughter was born 10 weeks premature and was on oxygen for 6 months upon discharge from hospital. It was therefore very important picking a nursery setting that we both, as parents, felt was a safe place where
we could fully put our trust in the care for her. I cannot fault this nursery at all, my daughter has come on leaps and bounds and a lot of it is down to how she is treated and cared for at Kids Planet. She runs in most mornings and as soon as we mention the word nursery she jumps with excitement. Which is all we could have ever wanted for our teeny tiny baby who was so delicate to turn into such a confident little girl.

So pleased we chose Kids Planet. We genuinely feel so trusting of the staff; they're enthusiastic, knowledgeable, caring, and you can see all the children love them. Our daughter needs some help settling in a morning and the staff are so patient and kind. We would highly recommend the setting.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son has been at this setting since he was 10 months old, the staff in the baby room are wonderful and I always felt so at ease leaving them in his care.
Since going into the toddler room and being at an age where he is more aware of being left he has been abit teary on arrival, but the girls always
greet him with a smile and comfort him and get him settled.
I believe he has learnt alot through his time in the setting and has grown so much in confidence.
We have had a few injuries from other children by way of biting/, scratching but the staff are quick to communicate this back to parents and are responsive to any concerns.
As a busy mum, not having to pack nappies, wipes etc every day is also super helpful!
You don't seem to be able to speak directly to accounts over the phone which can be frustrating.

Would highly recommend this setting for any child attending nursery. The recent revamp is just beautiful and it is obvious that the staff do this job for the love. Not only is it a fun, stimulating learning environment you can see the staff genuinely care. My eldest in particular loves being told it's
a nursery day to the point we barely get a backward glance, testament to the relationships the staff build with the children there. Thank you for all you do!

The staff are incredible, they have gone above and beyond for my daughter and I cannot thank them enough.
Every little detail is so thoughtful and considerate; nappies are included, formula (if required) and the children even have their own embroidered blanket for nap times.
We receive a timetable
of their day and progress updates and photos on the nursery app.
My daughter is really happy at drop off in a morning and doesn't want to leave at home time. Just a wonderful nursery!

Our son started recently when I went back to work and the staff have been fantastic at settling him in, working with him and us to help him get the best experience out of time in the nursery. He seems to be coming on really well in his development and I really appreciate how much detail they give about
how his day has been on the famly app and at pick up at the end of the day.

Both my children have been at this nursery. My eldest is now at school, but the staff were wonderful with his speech difficulties and navigating challenges like new baby and death of a grandparent. My little girl is now in preschool and thriving under the care of the team.

I have had a great experience with this nursery since 2018, when my eldest started, up until this year when my youngest goes to school. I have found the nursery a great setting for my girls to learn new things, play in a variety of settings and prepare them for school. All the staff work really hard
to keep up the very high standards, are very friendly and approachable and my girls have loved being looked after by them. I have recommended this nursery to friends and family which has resulted in them feeling the same way as me about this fantastic nursery.

My Daughter goes to this Nursery and has been since I had to return to work from Maternity back in 2024. She absolutely loves it there and has become such an outgoing little girl with so much confidence. The staff are so friendly and if you ever have a concern or query are there to help without any
hesitation. They make sure any needs for your child are met. I would definitely recommed this Nursery for your little ones.

This nursery is amazing. All the staff treat the kids so great, I was so worried when I started my son here at only 10 months but they have been great with him and he loves the girls so much! They make it really easy on transitions for the kids, provide lots of arts and crafts and developmental play.
I love the app feature where I can check it through the day and see updates on what he's eaten, how many nappy changes he's had, what he's played with or made. Choosing a nursery is very daunting because you're putting your heart into their hands and trusting them with your babies. I wouldn't choose any other nursery if I could go back and pick again. My son has gone leaps and bounds with his speech and development and I do contribute a lot of it to the nursery! Amazing work and amazing staff! Highly recommend!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.957)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.957) out of 10 for Kids Planet Willerby 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 4.957 for Kids Planet Willerby is calculated as follows: ( (310 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 324 Ratings = 4.957
  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 Willerby 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, 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.
