Review from R R (Mother of Child) published on 20 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kids Planet has been absolutely amazing for my daughter, who has been attending since she was just 5 months old. As a full-time working mum, I've always felt completely reassured knowing she is in a safe, caring, and nurturing environment. She adores the staff and has formed some really lovely friendships
with both the team and other children. The staff go above and beyond every single day, and it's clear they genuinely know, value, and care for each individual child. The recent transition to new ownership was handled professionally and smoothly, with no disruption to the outstanding care and fun, learning-rich environment. Communication with parents is always responsive, open, and personal, which I really appreciate. I now feel confident and proud knowing my daughter is well prepared and ready to start school in September, and that's all thanks to the amazing care and support she's received at Kids Planet. We are so grateful to everyone who's been a part of her journey.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been going to this nursery since December 2023, he was nine months old and it has brought him on so much. He absolutely loves the girls. The girls have been very supportive of my personal problems too. I couldn't ask for better teachers for my child. I've moved house and I'm keeping him at
this nursery as they're brilliant and teaching him so much stuff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kids Planet have really welcomed my daughter into the nursery. Staff are warm and naturing. My daughter is happy to attend and enjoys her time at the nursery.
The room is well equipped and my daughter knows her way round all the activities. There is a good outside space for children to play what ever
the weather.
Her speech and social skills are developing well. The staff are flexible and understanding. They never rush the hand over and spend time getting to know the parents and grand parents. Communication is good with plenty of information sent via the app. I am really impressed by the level of security at the nursery and I feel my daughter is in a safe place. The meals are well thought out, with a good variety that are tasty for the children. I would definitely recommend the nursery to other parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I feel very trusting to the staff here, my son goes 2 days a week. He has some teary mornings leaving mummy but the staff always greet him and help. Well looked after, plenty of toys and entertainment with outdoor space, great food menu range. Lots of themed days and activities to invite parents along.
No closure for summer holidays. All staff are lovely. My son has learnt so much since being here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Couldn't recommend this nursery enough, from the minute I stepped into it i automatically knew it was right for my daughter.
She has been there from 9months old and soon to enter pre school.. the girls will go above and beyond, my daughter loves all the activities and fun things the staff create for
them.
She always comes out with a smile on her face, her hair up nice and pretty and more then likely some sort of glitter/paint/foam to show she's had the best time with her friends x

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My children have been at the nursery since 2019, although it has changed names the consistent service to the children remains. They have an amazing outdoor space which is rare in this area and the children spend a high proportion of their day outside. We are in our final few months and I will be sad
to no longer be taking children. Well structured planned days, the app provides you with regular updates throughout the day. Our children have both transitioned to school so well due to the planning the staff put in.

Review from Vinnie H (Father of Child) published on 20 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our precious little lady has been with kids planet since back end of last year, she is in Honey Bears class, it's so nice knowing she is safe and well taken care of whilst us parents are off doing the adulting, the girls at the nursery are all fantastic and have helped our daughter so very much with
her speech, confidence and learning skills, it's so reassuring knowing we can look on the app at point in the day and see what she's been upto from what she's eaten to how long she's slept for, how many nappy changes and what activities they have all been upto, she loves going and enjoys the home made menu that's cooked on site daily. Kids planet (honey bears) you are awesome

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.
