I feel a particular teacher looks after my child as I would at home. I know my daughter really likes/feels safe with her now she speaks about her at home. I love how she interacts and will attend to my daughter's cuddles as she is a cuddly child.

She is always happy to go to nursey, friendly warm welcome by staff. In the time she's been there its gone through a period of changes to focus on outdoor play and nature. Which I feel has had a positive effect on imagination play. They provide all your child's needs and feed them a healthy balanced
diet with friendly informative staff.

Lovely nursery, staff are always friendly and informative about the little ones' day. Love the app the nursery uses, it's great being able to see her enjoying her day in the photos with her learning journey. She seems really happy when she's there, after a week and a half off due to illness she was
thrilled to be back when I dropped her off in the morning.

My daughter can be nervous about arriving at nursery but she is soon made to feel at ease by the staff at Kids Planet and is back to her usual cheeky self in no time. She loves playing with the staff and other children and has learnt so many new words since joining.

Really good and vibrant nursery. All the staff are welcoming and honest and go the extra mile to ensure my child is happy and enjoying being there. He has had a fantastic year and has really excelled here, so again, a big thank you to all the staff. He enjoys going to the nursery and always references
it. I like that they are open and have created an expressive environment that allows children to be their selves.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lovely nursery. I have a very anxious daughter who doesn't like being away from me but the staff are absolutely amazing with her and have helped to build her confidence. She absolutely adores the staff in the baby room and talks about them all the time at home. She's come on leaps and bounds with speech
and playing with other children since starting. The nursery is very clean and I love getting photos of my daughter on the parent app doing lots of activities. They give her such lovely food too which encourages her to try other things than what we could do at home. The staff are loving, kind and welcoming.

Great nursery with lots of activities to keep children busy. A variety of meals, lots of encouragement for the kids to self-help. Updates on children's day and updates online too! My son is always happy to go to nursery and has lots to talk about when he comes home.

I can't recommend Kids Planet Waterfront enough to anyone. Our son started attending at 4 months old and has loved every day he goes there. He is now 18 months old and has made great friends, as well as loving two particular members of staff, as much as his mom and myself.
They are brilliant with
the babies and make their every day a happy place. Thank you both!
All of the staff here are professional and friendly and love the children they care for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kids Planet Waterfront has been wonderful. They have have had our little girl now since she was a baby. They have always communicated very well, before and after pick up, telling us how she got on that day l, what's they have been doing, what they had for dinner and even if they had a sleep. If there
has been a small issue like a bump on the head they have always contacted us straight away even though we said there is no need for a simple bump but it just goes to show how they truly look after the kids in the setting. They put on plenty of activities throughout the year and we just had our little one graduating from there, which they put on a mini display for the parents. Overall I couldn't be happier.

My son has been going to this nursery now for nearly 2 years. I can honestly say without them I would be lost. My son is well cared for staff cannot do enough to support him through the start of his journey. The staff are caring and kind although my son has additional needs but they work their magic
and overcome any hurdles in the way.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.853)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.853) out of 10 for Kids Planet Waterfront 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 54 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 54 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 4.853 for Kids Planet Waterfront is calculated as follows: ( (561 Excellents x 5) + (74 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 645 Ratings = 4.853
  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 Waterfront is based on 54 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 54 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.
