My daughter has now been attending Perfect Start Nursery for 2 years after transitioning from another setting and she couldn't be happier. The staff are lovely and have been very supportive of her development. It's great to hear about the subjects they have been learning about and the wide range of
activities they get involved in. The nursery is a lovely clean setting with great facilities both indoors and outdoors. I can't recommend this nursery enough!

All of my children have attended Perfect Start (two are currently still there). The level of care for each individual child is outstanding. The different needs of each of my children have been consistently met and I could not ask for more from a nursery. Through difficult stages, they offer a tailored
approach towards each child to ensure they settle and enjoy their time at nursery but also develop as an individual. I am so grateful to all the staff in enabling me to drop off my children with the comfort of knowing they are receiving the highest level of care.

Our two daughters attend here - our eldest has attended for over 2 years. The people are simply incredible - all so caring, creative and have such positive energy. The facilities are beautiful. We feel so lucky that there is an on-site chef! It’s made my return to work after both maternity leaves so
much easier knowing the girls are having the best time and are in such caring hands. Thank you Perfect Start!

I highly recommend Perfect Start Day Nursery, Sevenoaks. The thought of leaving your child in someone else's care is very daunting, particularly at the beginning, but from the moment you walk into Perfect Start you know it's the right environment for your baby, toddler or child.
The staff are exceptional,
friendly, welcoming and led by a superb management team who are always open to discussion and feedback. When you walk into collect your child, you often see them tearing up the outside play area on bikes or marching around the playroom role-playing 'We're going on a Bear Hunt' with a very animated member of staff - it's truly brilliant.
The activities are endless and numerous photos captured the fun and are put up on the portal for you to view - you soon realise why they ask you to pack 2 outfit changes per day!
And the food! Hats off to the on-site chef for the wonderful and varied array of homemade food you manage to provide for the children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Perfect Start for a year now having transitioned from another nursery setting. The staff in the rooms are keen to encourage children to work on skills appropriate for their age. Everyday my son's room has new activities set up for him to try out and are often within their theme
of the week. The staff invest in each child. My son has been receiving additional support for his speech by having one-to-one time with his key worker and playing his "game". The office managers have communicated well the development milestones for him and offered their support to progress his speech.
The communication during pickup each day is always tailored to what the specific parent wants to know and we receive weekly photos showing how much fun the children have had alongside quarterly development assessments.
I would not hesitate to recommend Perfect Start Day Nursery to any parent.

Perfect Start have been super supportive of our son's development, who faces some motor challenges. They have listened closely to us when new goals are set and have found ways to adapt his environment to encourage certain skills. I was super nervous about sending him to nursery and all the staff who
we've come into contact with have been amazing and reassuring - we can see how much he likes spending time there, and he especially loves all the messy activities they come up with every week.

Review from Sasha E (Mother of Child) published on 22 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter started in October 2022, after a long year of many transitions (immigration) she was very unsettled, spending most sessions in a hysterical state of tears. The staff were extremely caring in notifying me about her behaviour and trying to implement various strategies to ensure her happiness.
The confinement of space was definitely a challenge for her and since moving to a bigger teaching/learning space, she has been so much more settled. With an educational background myself and a degree in early childhood development, I would highly suggest schools in the UK should consider the confinement of space, that so many nurseries are subject to educate little minds in. Not only a smaller breeding ground for germs, but the UK weather and working hours of many parents, leave these children “caged” for hours on end. Kinesthetic learning at these ages is paramount, but with such confinement, how much exploring is able to take place at its fullest potential?

I could not be happier with my daughter's nursery. She goes in every day with a big smile and open arms. The staff are all excellent - always warm, caring and responsive. I am pleased with the attention paid to her development and she has come on leaps and bounds with their support and guidance (both
in terms of her skill development and her confidence). The facilities are excellent, with a clean environment and lots of opportunity for stimulating play both inside and outdoors.

Keep up the fantastic work.

We have been very happy with Perfect Start Day Nursery Sevenoaks since our child started earlier this year. The staff is caring, hard-working and organise so many activities every day to keep the children busy learning new things. We highly recommend it to other parents who are thinking of which nursery
to send their children to. It's very modern and it has nice play areas for both younger and older children. The location was a big plus for us too.

We are extremely happy with Perfect Start Nursery in Sevenoaks our toddler has been going there for over a year starting when she was 15 months. The staff are caring and attentive and both staff and management are very communicative and supportive. We feel in very safe hands, the facilities and outside
space are lovely and the range of activities is brilliant. The food is of a high standard and the main meals are made by a chef on site which is very reassuring. Our toddler loves it there and she has learnt a lot.

My son has just started at Perfect Start Day Nursery, we had the warmest welcome! The management team keep me assured my son would be in the safest hands! His key worker has gone above and beyond to make myself and my son feel welcomed into the nursery! The chef cooks the most amazing variety of nutritious
food and my son's tummy is always full! The education and care that is provided daily for my son are fantastic and he is always coming home with reaching a new milestone! Couldn’t recommend a better nursery in Sevenoaks, thank you!

My son has been at Perfect Start Sevenoaks since month 9, full time since age 1 and has been through the younger baby room to pre-school. Can't ask for more from any nursery. The staff really know my son and are always working to develop him and ensure that he has a happy time. They are also flexible
to our needs. Communication is good - whether through emails, newsletters, parent app, daily handovers (to the parent or to nanny), appropriate ad hoc phone calls. We are so grateful to have Perfect Start.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one has been at Perfect Start since it opened in Sevenoaks back Sept 2019 - in that time, my little one has transitioned between all the rooms. Perfect Start did a great job at settling my little one in and all his key carers have been brilliant - I couldn’t ask for more. You can see that
a lot of thought and effort goes into making the early learning curriculum fun for the children and they ensure that the children have the opportunity to be outside as much as possible. The menu the child eats is made from scratch on-site every day and has a great variety, 3-week rota (hats off to the chef!)


Another aspect that clinched it for Perfect Start was the modern facility - practically purpose-built, with all the mod cons eg air-con, CCTV for settling in, iPads tables (educational use). Ultimately you know you’ve made a good choice when your little one comes home full of excitement from the day they have had and desperate to tell you about - and looks forward to going again the next day. Definitely helps mellow that mum guilt.

We love Perfect Start Day Nursery!
I couldn’t fault it at all - the staff are so nurturing, the activities amazing, and it’s in a great location with easy drop-off.
My son took a little while to settle in due to Covid, but they were really patient and came up with good ideas and adapted themselves
to settle him in with ease; he’s been happy ever since.

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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

I am the Nursery Manager at Sevenoaks. I am Level 3 Qualified and have worked in nurseries since 2017. I started my journey in the nursery at Perfect Start as a nursery practitioner, working my way up to Nursery Manager in 2021. Since then, the nursery was acquired by Kids Planet in March 2025, where I continue to be Nursery Manager. I am extremely passionate about creating a nurturing, engaging and safe environment where children can grow, explore and thrive. I believe that the early years are a critical time in a child’s development, and I am committed to working closely with our families, staff, and the wider community to ensure every child receives the best possible start in life. As a nursery, we support all of our staff in their apprenticeships and all types of training to encourage continuous professional development and growth in their careers as early years educators.
