Our son loves coming to the nursery to play with his friends. The activities, facilities and staff are all great and judging by the updates we get via the app so is the food.

Kids Planet is an amazing nursery, as a first-time mum and going back to work was anxious about leaving my daughter in someone's care all day. I needn't worry as the care, communication and overall experience so far with the staff at Kids Planet has been exceptional and I'm so happy we chose here.

Great nursery, my daughter loves it and the staff are great. Would and have recommended it to prospective users. Great that I can see what my daughter is up to on the app. Real child focus unlike some less good nurseries. Great location and facilities. Good food for the kids and nice outdoor space.

Honestly, I could not recommend this nursery enough! The staff always go above and beyond for my little girl, always creating the most exciting and funfilled activities that she is interested in and meeting her needs! From the day we had a show around we have been made to feel like part of the family
and get regularly updated on the parentzone app. Our little girl always runs into nursery and never wants to leave at the end of the day which says it all to me! The food is amazing and our little girl gets a variety of different meals while she is there, foods of which she would not eat at home. There are lots of learning opportunities and this is also done outside where our little girl likes to spend a lot of her time.

My daughter has attended this nursery for over three years, she absolutely adores it. There is an app available so you can see what your little one has been up to throughout the day and what they've eaten which is really useful.
The communication in the setting is second to none and the staff are
all so warm and nurturing with my daughter. I would 100% recommend them.

Our daughter could not be happier going to Kids Planet Hoylake. The manager and all the staff are superb. We did have our daughter in another nursery which isn't a patch on here. I won't name names but trust me. As soon as we heard Kids Planet was coming to Hoylake we looked to sign up as soon as possible.
I
would 100% do it all again and is a perfect stepping stone into primary school and also the social aspect for the kids.
Thanks again guys.

The staff at Kids Planet Hoylake have done wonders for both of my children. Having been elsewhere with my daughter previously, the difference in her is incredible to see. She is much more confident and excited to go to preschool. My son also gets very excited when we drop him off in the baby room, having
made such a strong bond with his key worker. It is a delight to have my children attend here, and I would recommend to all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little one started Kids Planet Hoylake in March of this year following a bad experience at their previous nursery. Due to circumstances, we were obviously cautious about moving them to any childcare setting. We came to Kids Planet because of recommendations, and it really hasn't been anything but
amazing. Myself and my husband go to work knowing that our child is safe, happy and well looked after.
Our child has severe allergies, and the provisions that have been put in place are fantastic, and we know they are safe whilst in their care. The chef is fantastic, and even with severe allergies, we never feel our little one is missing out at mealtimes due to the variety of options.
The children spend plenty of time outdoors, which was important to us too!
They have made us feel so welcome, and the team in the baby and tots room have really made us feel at ease and send regular updates throughout the day, so we don't feel we’re missing out on too much. Would highly recommend this setting.

My daughter is attending Kids Planet 5 days a week and absolutely loves it. The staff are excellent; she gets lots of personal 1-2-1 attention and created a lovely bond with them. Meals are great, and she always asks for seconds! I can check in on her day via the app, which is always up to date and
usually with photos from the day. Can't fault them!

We love this place. Our daughter has been so happy there. Every day she skips into the room and doesn’t want to leave. Staff are so friendly and kind, like trusting a close member of our family to look after her. No issues whatsoever.

Staff are lovely and really supportive. My son is so happy to go into nursery and loves all the staff. As a mother, it is so important that you know your child is safe and loved when they are not with you. My son has been with the nursery since he was 9 months old and I know he's in the best hands when
he's not with me. Excellent nursery that I would highly recommend.

We couldn't be happier with Kids Planet Hoylake, our choice was obvious after we visited few nurseries in the area and we are so pleased with our choice. Our little girl is a lockdown baby, and an only child. Staff are amazing with her and helped her to settle down really quickly, they helped her with
the naps, she only contact naps at home, girls have been so great with her and supported her for a little while, now she naps really well on her own at nursery, like magic! It's so easy for me to leave her in the morning knowing she'll be well looked after, will take part in lots of activities and I can follow her day on the app. Love when the girls upload some photos. Food's amazing too. Staff will take time to let me know how the day was when I pick her up in the evening, even if I'm too chatty sometimes they always make the time! Big thanks to all the girls in tots room, toddlers room and admin staff

Fantastic nursery and always been a pleasure to deal with. My son is very happy here and has learnt so much, even though he's only three. I feel like he is in a very good position to move to pre-school.

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.
