Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I wholeheartedly give them five stars.
Caring staff: The staff are incredibly caring and attentive. My son has always seemed to feel safe and loved, they go above and beyond to make him really feel comfortable and happy.
Communication: They keep us updated about our son's moments, meals, and sleep
through the app. The parent days are an excellent opportunity to discuss our child and meet other mums and dads.
Fun environment: The nursery seems to consistently provide a fun and engaging environment for the kids. Themed dress-up days to day out trips, my son always greets me to come home with smiles and chatting away about his day. They definitely understand the importance of play in early childhood development, and it shows in the smiles on all the children's faces I have seen in the nursery. Thank you, for providing our son with such a wonderful start!
Big shout out to the lady in the baby room, also the lady who has now gone to Wallasey, and the lady in toddler who is currently our little ones 121.

We have been very impressed with Kid’s Planet Hoylake. Both our children are settled and happy there. All staff in all rooms are caring and incredibly friendly and the variety of engaging and fun activities on offer for the children are superb. I was anxious about returning to work and leaving my baby,
but the staff at Kid’s Planet are quick to update us via the app with photos and information about our child’s day. We are so grateful to have found this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I just want to say how remarkable I have found the whole experience we have had with Kids Planet Hoylake and all the staff from day one (13 months old) until now (31 months). My daughter has suffered quite a lot with her eczema and allergies and I have experienced such support from all of the staff,
even though her conditions are quite complex. I honestly don't think that I would've been happy or confident leaving her in any other nursery, the confidence I have in her care from all the staff is second to none. I think as a parent, you second guess every decision you make for your child, but I am certain that selecting Kids Planet has most definitely been the best decision I could have ever have made at this stage. I can't recommend this place enough, and I do recommend to everyone I speak to - thank you guys so much.

Kids Planet Hoylake have been great with my daughter. They try to be flexible and my daughter always goes in happy and leaves happy too.
They seem to do a range of activities with the kids and help them constantly entertained.

Review from Gerard H (Father of Child) published on 9 January 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My two children love their time at nursery. Our little girl, nearly 4 and in pre-school, has progressed well through every class. She has many little friends and is close to many of the wonderful grown-ups who care for her.
Our little boy is nearly 2 and struggled to get used to being separated from
us when he joined babies. The staff were so patient, and he now loves nursery and is in tots. He now gets upset when leaving his sister here on a Tuesday, and wants to go and play with his friends rather than come home. Thursday, they're both in and have an amazing time. At Kids Planet, learning is fun!

Almost every day my son comes home from Kids Planet seemingly with a new side to his development whether a new word, action or love for something. Could not be happier with his care and promotion of development.

Kids Planet and tots have been amazing. Our daughter struggled to begin with but Kids Planet gave is additional settling in time and the tots teachers were super supportive.
Our daughter is now thriving and confident.

Our girls are thriving in the toddler room. Their speech has improved so much. They are saying words we definitely haven't used at home - adverbs.
Their potty training is undoubtedly helped so much by the nursery girls.
They love their days at Kids Planet Hoylake. From day 1 I have never ever worried
or given a worrying thought about our twins as I know they're so happy and looked after. They are treated as their own children and I love it. I am dreading the day they have to leave!

Our daughter loves coming into nursery which is always a good sign. The staff are happy and friendly and the kids seem to respond well to them
The staff update the parent app with text and lots of photos regularly which we really appreciate. The food also seems to be healthy and

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.614)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.614) out of 10 for Kids Planet Hoylake is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 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 4.938 for Kids Planet Hoylake is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.938
  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 4.676 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Hoylake 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 111 number of registered child places is 22.2. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.2 = 0.676
  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.
