Review from Jessica B (Mother of Child) published on 7 March 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter started at Perfect Start in February 2019 and we're really happy with the nursery. She settled in very quickly and is always happy when being dropped off. All the staff are really friendly and give great, detailed feedback at the end of each day. The activities seem to be tailored to what
the children are interested in and I feel like the children are being prepared for school.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.455) out of 10 for Kids Planet Haywards Heath 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 14 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 4.891 for Kids Planet Haywards Heath is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.891
  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 4.564 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Haywards Heath is based on 14 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.85
    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 98 number of registered child places is 19.6. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.6 = 0.714
  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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Hi, I’m Katy, the joint manager at Haywards Heath, and I’ve been part of Kids Planet (formerly Perfect Start) for six years. I started as a practitioner in our Under 2’s Room and have since worked my way up to Room Leader, then Deputy, and finally Nursery Manager in October 2022. It’s been amazing to watch the nursery grow and evolve over the years, and I’ve loved being able to help shape its future since joining the management team
