My little girl started in February and if I'm honest I was so worried about leaving her and thought she would find it hard but it's rather the opposite. She absolutely loves going and on the days she's not in, she's saying she wants to go. The staff are brilliant and really help not only the children
in their care but also support the parents if needed. Can't fault this nursery.

Staff are very helpful when you are in need of assistance with things also they are understanding if there is a problem with my child. The nursery is always clean and has so many different types of play to do. Always keeping parents up to date via the parent app.

Can't fault this nursery my child has allergies and they always go above and beyond to make sure she gets similar foods as the other children within her boundaries, also we are currently potty training and that is going amazingly. Since starting my child has really become a little brainbox the conversations
we have are amazing for a 3 year old and she knows so much more than I could imagine and that is all from the learning she has done within the nursery setting, overall an amazing nursery and I will be sending my next child here and my grandchild also comes here again who at the age of 2 has the vocabulary and understanding of a much older child

My granddaughter has been attending this nursery since she was old enough to go and has loved every minute. She looks forward to going and has formed good relationships with the staff. The parent hub is a great asset as you can keep updated on the different things your little one is doing during each
session and the staff are very informative. Great little nursery.

My little boy thoroughly enjoys Kids Planet Blackpool. He always comes home happy and has made some lovely friendships. The staff really are wonderful, very supportive and always give a full breakdown on what he has done throughout his day. They also provide healthy, wholesome meals and snacks throughout
the day. The staff go above and beyond and it really has shown with our little boy. Thank you!

My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting this nursery in 2021. Her confidence has grown huge amounts and she's learnt so much since being there. The staff are amazing, helpful, kind and polite. They make sure to bond with the children so they always feel comfortable going into the nursery,
my daughter has had two key workers. One when she was in the baby room and one now she's in the toddler room and both workers have been absolutely brilliant with her. I couldn't be happier that my daughter attends such a brilliant nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been with this nursery since he was 6 months old. It's been just over a year now and he still adores coming to the nursery. The connection he has with the staff in the baby room has been brilliant and I can see that the staff have put in the time to form strong bonds with the children in
their care. My son has had no problems settling in and enjoys his time at nursery. There is a wide variety of foods which are put on offer to the children and the nursery do a great job at following routines that have been put in place at home.
More resources have been bought for the children also which has been great to see!
There has been a couple of staff leave (my son's first key worker) and also a couple of changes in management. However, this has been managed excellently by the team at Kids Planet with little disruption to the children.
I have recommended this nursery to a couple of friends who also have young children.

My daughter started last month, she loves it! I've seen a massive improvement in her speech. I've never seen her so happy to go somewhere. As a covid baby, she hasn't had much interaction with other children, only relatives, but she went straight into nursery without any whinging. She loves that place
and I highly recommend it!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The food appears to be OK, however my child does come home and go straight to the fridge for more food.
On the topic of value for money, in comparison to other nurseries it seems satisfactory however the cost is astronomical. The highest childcare costs in the world!
Management, no idea who they
are anymore.
Staff are friendly on arrival and always know what your child has done during the day however I still feel a certain level of disconnect post covid.

I'm very happy with the care my child gets given. The staff are all very welcoming and professional in what they do. My child loves going to nursery and she's built up relationships with the other children and staff which is lovely to see. Overall I would definitely rate this nursery for any parent
considering putting their child in.

Both my sons have attended this nursery and for both times all staff have been nothing but amazing with both children, the space and needs they meet for the children are so amazing! I highly recommend this nursery to anyone needing to find somewhere for a child. The rooms/food and activities the children
do daily is cute to hear about and see via pictures you take, thank you for all the hard work everyone puts into the children that walk through those doors.

Absolutely amazing with the children they look after! They treat them all equally regardless of if the child has additional needs or not, but they go above and beyond. They do an outstanding job not just for the children they care for, but the parents of the child too! Wouldn’t trust my child at any
other nursery, my child has been at this nursery since the baby room and is now 4 and due to leave! The staff are outstanding and I cannot thank them enough for the help/advice and childcare they’ve given my child! All of the staff are amazing, along with everyone else that works there!

I've had two children attend Kids Planet so far and one starting in September. The nursery is a friendly and welcoming place and the staff are incredible very friendly and always very helpful. My daughter really loves going there and is always happy when greeted at the door. I've recommended the nursery
to friends and family as in my opinion it's the best nursery around.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery have been amazing for my two children, they have come on leaps since starting and the staff have done brilliantly considering covid restrictions, all updates have been efficient and the safety of the children has been their main priority! Not only have they bonded with my children they’ve
all supported me personally and always listened and took the time to listen to me and the children! They have some excellent caring staff and they really love the children like their own.
I’ll be very, very sad to leave the nursery in September as my daughter starts school but they will be forever in our minds and hearts! Out of the 3 nurseries my children have attended this is without a doubt the best! They are well looked after, I get updates daily and the paperwork side is efficient and straightforward. The nursery manager is exceptional and friendly 10/10!

Amazing nursery. Both my son and daughter have attended from a young age and I’ve never had a problem. The nursery itself is amazing but the staff are just something else, they communicate well, they explain everything my child has done whilst being there. Couldn’t ask for a better nursery to send my
child.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.734)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.734) out of 10 for Kids Planet Blackpool 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 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 4.987 for Kids Planet Blackpool is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.987
  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 4.747 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Blackpool is based on 13 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 87 number of registered child places is 17.4. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.4 = 0.747
  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.
