Wonderful experience. Cannot fault this nursery!
Lovely staff who are always welcoming and professional. My child loves going to nursery and settling them in was made easy by the managers and the team in the baby room.

We have been sending our child to Perfect Start Day Nursery for almost a year now. We love the location of the nursery and I think they did a perfect job in taking care of our children. There is nothing we don't like about Perfect Start.

My eldest child has been at Perfect Start Day Nursery - Farnham since he was two and a half and my youngest started four months ago. We are extremely happy with the outstanding care both of our children are receiving. My eldest son loves being in the preschool room and has built strong bonds with both
the staff and other children. The staff have helped him improve his verbal skills and learn to express himself more clearly, as well as helping to prepare him for school. My youngest child is in the babies room, the staff take great care and attention in making sure they are stimulated with age-appropriate activities and have been really flexible and supportive of our wishes and sleep schedules. The nursery makes the parents feel very involved with parents' evenings and even providing breakfasts on the go for busy parents doing the drop-off.

I am so happy with the nursery. The staff are genuinely caring and considerate, they are always thinking of creative ways to encourage learning and development. My child has loved the messy play, learning to paint as one example. When my child has been sad they are quick to offer comfort. The chef
creates wonderful food. The staff provide great updates and are in regular contact with me. I love how the managers also engage with the children. I feel very grateful to have found a place where my child is so happy and well cared for.

Both my children have attended Perfect Start Day Nursery - Farnham since Nov 2021. My oldest is now in Reception at school and the transition for him was a lot easier because Perfect Start's pre school programme is excellent. My younger one has now transitioned to Preschool and looks forward to going
to nursery every day. The staff are all excellent and genuinely interested in the children's wellbeing. I recommend Perfect Start to anyone who is looking for childcare.

Both of my children have been cared for by Perfect Start on a full-time basis and it is a testament to the nursery here that my eldest (who has now started school) loves to come and pick up his younger brother just so he can come and say hi to the staff and give them a big hug. As parents, we couldn't
be happier with the way our children have been cared for and would highly recommend this nursery to others as a nurturing space that really caters to your individual child's needs.

Such a lovely nursery. My son was in the pre-school, which he absolutely loved when he was there, and my daughter is currently in the toddler room which is fantastic.
The staff are all so lovely and very loving towards the children. The rooms are great and their days are full of fun activities.
The
garden is very sweet too with lots of fun things for the children to do.
It is a fabulous location for any commuter parents as it's right by the station.
Highly recommend!

Review from Kirsty C (Mother of Child) published on 23 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We've been very happy with Perfect Start, they've been amazing with our son and he loves it there. They've helped him with his speech with nursery workers spending one on one time with him to help him improve which we've really appreciated. Every day they create fun activities for all the children and
our son comes home counting and singing the alphabet which he definitely learnt from Perfect Start!
The reason I have rated only 4 stars is because I was quite disappointed that I couldn't get a place for my new baby. When he was born I was told the earliest availability was in 2 years' time. I'm not sure if the reason that there's a long waitlist for such young babies is because people are booking places while they're pregnant or there are very few spots, but I had hoped that we'd be given preference since we already had a child at the nursery who had been there from the start. I was saddened that our little one couldn't have the same nursery experience as his older brother.

Our daughter (now 22 months) has been going since she was 18 months - we have had a good experience so far. Really pleased with the staff and their care and attention. It took a little while to settle in, but our daughter seems to enjoy going there and does lots of activities and plays outside. I think
the space itself is nice and bright, and the outside space is good for playing. The food is good and I think overall it is well run. I wish it had free flow inside/outside and a bigger outdoor area, but just not possible with the location. Overall I think they do a great job.

Lovely environment for little people to thrive! My son (19 months old) very much enjoys his days at Perfect Start and has done since he started at around 1 year old.
Lots of fun activities daily, plenty of outdoor time, the loveliest staff, tasty meals and good routines to help them learn and develop.

Just a brilliant nursery, low staff turnaround and girls that really do care. we can’t recommend it enough. We looked at others but this was by far the best in Farnham. The custom refurbishment makes it a really nice, cosy and warm environment for the kids. A calm setting with great facilities, and
garden space.

My two boys attend Perfect Start and between them have been in all four rooms. We cannot recommend the nursery highly enough. Every member of staff is wonderful with my boys and I am so grateful for the care and effort that goes into getting to know the children.


I am constantly amazed at the imaginative

and fun games and activities with which the children get involved, even from a very young age.


Communication from the nursery management is great and it seems very well run.

Both our sons have been at this nursery, preschool and toddlers room since May 2021. Both have/do enjoy their time immensely, with our youngest still attending and running to the door in the morning.
The effort the team goes to every day with topics, setting up activities is fantastic - often you
see them staying late to get things ready for the next days fun activities. Great outside space, which the children love!
They have a good core team who keep things consistent - like any nursery, they have staff turnover, perhaps they could do a little more to update on the changes as soon as they happen, but all in all, we know that it is a great and safe place for the children to develop.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.574)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.574) out of 10 for Kids Planet Farnham 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 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 4.936 for Kids Planet Farnham is calculated as follows: ( (146 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.936
  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 4.638 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Farnham 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 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 = 3.825
    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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.813
  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 the Nursery Manager here at Farnham. I’ve been working in early years for 4 years, and I’m truly passionate about creating a nurturing, safe, and inspiring environment where every child can explore, learn, and thrive.


I love seeing children grow into their own unique personalities and supporting them as they discover new skills and interests. I also enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with families, making sure every child feels happy, secure, and excited to come to nursery each day.


Creating a friendly, welcoming environment for both children and parents is at the heart of everything I do, and I feel so lucky to be part of their early learning journey.
