Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My now 19 months old son started nursery in September, due to me returning to school. I found it very hard to part with him, he is a mama's boy, very clingy and a very fussy eater.
Luckily, Kids Planet is 2 minutes away, offers various meals my son enjoys or explores, I can see all the happy pictures
of him doing different activities l, and most importantly, he has lots and lots of one on one interaction, as he needs lots of cuddles, affection and head strokes to sleep. I am happy with the nursery and staff.

My daughter has been going to this nursery since she was 8 months old, she is now 2 and I am very happy with the nursery and their support of my daughter's needs and also mine as a single parent. I recommend, with pleasure, to other parents who are looking for a nursery for their child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child loves coming to nursery, she is greeted warmly by staff and communication from her key worker is informative and helpful. I am content in the knowledge that our child is well cared for during her time at nursery and is encouraged to try different activities and eats healthy, nutritious food
for her breakfast and lunch. Her development has come on leaps and bounds since attending nursery and I cannot thank her key worker and all the staff enough. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone I know who is looking for a warm and nurturing childcare provider.

Such a wonderful nursery! Our little girl started in the baby room and we saw such an amazing leap in her development from the very beginning. Staff are fantastic and so friendly, very approachable if you have any questions. Our little lady loves going to nursery! Our little boy will hopefully be joining
the baby room and we can’t wait to see him flourish like his big sister.

My daughter goes to this nursery on an afternoon in the baby room. She loves it, the staff are so friendly and the management are so nice. They are so understanding about stuff. I feel my child is safe as they have safety locks on the doors and password protected.

Happy Tots is an amazing nursery. Since my 2-year-old started he has really come on a lot and learning so much. Every morning he goes in so happy to arrive there which is a great comfort. They are attentive with the children and very explanatory eg regarding what they have eaten for their dinner, any
naps they have had, etc. All the staff are lovely and it’s nice to have a quick chat with them while dropping off/picking up my son whether it be a quick hello or a chat about my son's personal development. To me, my son is obviously very comfortable with them also. I would happily recommend this nursery to anyone. Great staff and lovely fun atmosphere for my son to be around and that leaves one relaxed mum.

My daughter has been going here since she was 2 and she has loved it. She has great connections with the staff. Loves coming to nursery enjoys trying all different foods. I have never had an issue or fault with the nursery or staff. My daughter had a few worries of being hurt by other boys, I spoke
to the staff and they resolved it immediately. They are the best nursery in my opinion. Lovely staff, clean place, fantastic with the children. Great through Covid too. Top nursery and absolutely top staff.

My daughter attends the nursery and she loves it. She is autistic and is very fussy but loves all the staff, they have been extremely helpful with me and my daughter. Very easy to approach when needed, if I had any concerns they where dealt with, putting my mind at rest. I would recommend this nursery
one thousand percent.

Both my girls go to Happy Tots Nursery Ltd! My eldest has been going for about two years and littlest, a year. They are absolutely brilliant, I couldn't ask or wish for better nursery staff. My girls come home many nights wanting to see their teachers again! The girls have come on so well in their development
and talking with the nursery. I couldn't thank them enough. Recommended them so much! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my girls.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Where do I even begin, this nursery has been truly amazing with my child. My son loves all of the staff in the baby room but has really taken to one particular member of staff, to who he constantly gives a heart attack to, with his boyish ways. Everyone here goes above and beyond to make sure I’m happy
and that my child is happy. Lots of amazing activities every day for children to do and explore. My child has come on leaps and bounds with his development and speech since starting nursery and I can’t thank all of the staff enough. Staff always keep you up to date with everything they’ve done in the day and lots of pictures on the app, which I love as a parent, knowing my son is looked after and having fun. I cannot recommend this nursery enough to anyone.

My son has come on so much since starting at Happy Tots. He’s been there for almost a year and loves it. The staff a very welcoming and take time with my son. They know what he likes, and he has done such a lovely mix of activities.

My little boy attends Happy Tots Nursery and has done for the past two years. We absolutely love it, the staff are amazing and always go above and beyond to ensure we are happy.
The nursery takes the children out on trips, which I love, they go to local attractions and have recently been to the art
gallery, which he has not stopped talking about!
I can not recommend this nursery enough.

My daughter has been going to this nursery since October 2018. She was difficult to settle at first but the staff were amazing with her! Now she loves them and can’t wait to get there in the mornings! The care is outstanding and I wouldn’t have her anywhere else. The staff are always friendly and welcoming
and management make sure they know every child. This nursery has a great personal feel and I’ll be sad when it’s her time to leave, thankfully still a couple of years to go!

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.
