Kid's Planet has been a wonderful place for our son since he started at 8 months old. We chose it because of its dedicated separate rooms and facilities for babies at different stages, which gave us great peace of mind. Now a confident toddler, he's learned so much at the nursery (especially in developing
his language skills, as we are a bilingual family) and we're so grateful for how much he's thrived there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've been sending our son to this nursery since it was Perfect Start Sevenoaks, and while we were happy back then, the transition to the new owners has truly taken things to the next level.The new management has invested in improving the facilities, updating the toys, and creating an even more engaging
and nurturing environment for the children.
One of the biggest changes we've noticed is the transparency around funding and communication. It's clear what's included, where resources are going, and we always feel well-informed and involved as parents. The staff are fantastic-warm, professional, and genuinely caring.
Highly recommended.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son who is 7months old has recently started at perfect start Sevenoaks, the staff have worked so hard on ensuring his needs are met and has settled nicely. Each day they have activities out to support all development areas which look great. The nursery has a lot to offer the children from a loving
warm environment to a sensory room in which my son loves. I cannot be happier with the staff within his room and the communication I get from handovers at the end of each day.

We have been having an excellent experience with Perfect Start Sevenoaks and our little boy loves his time there. Settling in was challenging for him (and for us parents), but the staff was absolutely amazing and always kept us up to date on his progress. Their communication is great and there is always
space to do proper drop offs and handovers. They know my son's personality, what he loves and what he doesn't and they do an amazing job at helping with his development.
The rooms do sometimes feel a bit crowded, but I feel like they do an effort to keep the kids busy with many different activities.

Perfect Start Nursery in Sevenoaks has a wonderful management that reflects in turn a very professional care of children throughout their time there. Our son had to receive first aid at the nursery and the team were fantastic not only handling the inside but informing us and following up. It's a true
privilege to have our children growing up as a part of the Perfect Start community.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been attending since she was 7 months old, she is now 3 and has moved up through every room. The staff have been amazing and she has always been lucky to have great key workers including her most recent one who she really misses since moving into the bigger room in the last few weeks
as he was really great and engaging with her - wanting to help her progress. She has learnt so much since being at Perfect Start and the staff are always great at coming up with new activities and ways of learning. She is a really confident child and I think the nursery has done wonders for this. It can be a scary thing leaving your child in someone else's care all day so having a welcoming face from staff each morning does really make all the difference. Our only concern which we have raised prior is the door security - we don't feel it is adequate enough (more due to other parents holding the door for other parents) we feel anyone could easily enter if they really wanted to!

My eldest has been going to Perfect Start since 2020 so has been in all the rooms at the nursery. They have been fantastic. They are kind, interested in each child and their development. They know the child’s personality so immediately notice if something isn’t right. My daughter’s confidence has grown
and she really enjoys going to the nursery. The outdoor space is brilliant. I found the parents' evenings really helpful to gauge how my daughter was getting on and what we could to help too. A great nursery.

We have always been happy with Perfect Start Sevenoaks. Our first child joined this nursery when they opened in 2019, and almost 5 years later our second child is enjoying his time there just as much as our first did. The staff have always gone above and beyond expectations with the love and care they
show towards the children. They continuously provide a fulfilling day for the kids and are remarkable with the amount of new and fresh ideas they come up with for entertainment, learning and enrichment. The staff, at all levels, are always very welcoming towards the parents too and always make the time to tell you about the children’s day. Our youngest was recently having some behavioural issues and the nursery put a fantastic plan into place to bring him back on track promptly, the effort put in by all staff during this challenging phase was truly outstanding. We feel fortunate to feel a part of Perfect Start Sevenoaks and are very grateful to all the wonderful staff members there.

Perfect Start has been amazing with my son who is 18 months old. He has been attending since October, first in the baby room and now in the senior baby room. The staff are so lovely and caring and I am confident that they really care about his experience and development. He is involved in a huge range
of activities and we receive regular baking and arts and crafts! He has come on so much in terms of his development since starting which has been lovely to see. I would not hesitate to recommend Perfect Start!

Most importantly, she has really enjoyed her time there and the huge range of activities they get up to. I would highly recommend

Perfect Start have been fabulous with my daughter who is 18 months old. She has been attending since December 2023 and already she has so much more confidence and is coming on in leaps and bounds at each development stage. The team are so friendly and patient and I am grateful for their expertise and
kind approach. The facilities are great and they have a fab outdoor space that gets used as much as the English weather will permit.

Perfect Start have been amazing with our youngest who is currently in the senior baby room. She gets involved with an amazing set of activities each day and from an early age they have ensured that she is learning key skills associated for her age. We receive regular updates on progress and development,
as well as photos of what she gets up to. The environment is fabulous with outdoor play areas separate to the older children. The staff are wonderful and we have no doubt that she is well taken care of and learning in a supportive and caring environment. Could not recommend them highly enough.

Perfect Start Nursery in Sevenoaks are amazing and I can't recommend them enough! They have been a huge support to us as a family as well as to our little boy who is autistic. The team have been amazing since he started in 2022 and were the first to bring to our attention our son's delayed development
and they have been supportive, caring and proactive in helping us to navigate it and I can't thank them enough for that. Our little boy loves nursery and they have done so much for him to support him and help him thrive. Their SENCO and management have been brilliant and every member of staff we've met in every room has been wonderful and caring, taking time to understand him and his needs. The facilities are great both indoors and outdoors across all the rooms. Our second will be starting there next year and we wouldn't want them to go anywhere else given the high level of care and support we've received.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.750)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.750) out of 10 for Kids Planet Sevenoaks 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 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 4.924 for Kids Planet Sevenoaks is calculated as follows: ( (209 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 225 Ratings = 4.924
  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 4.826 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Sevenoaks is based on 19 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 115 number of registered child places is 23. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 23 = 0.826
  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.
