Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have two children at Kids Planet Stalybridge and the team that all work there from management to the dinner staff are wonderful


My children have been there from when they were babies and not even walking. Now they are walking for themselves, eating on their own, picking up books wanting to read

and everyday they come home learning something new


I cannot praise the team enough they are all remarkable and Thank you for doing your best for my precious babies

Very helpful staff, and a great environment for our daughter who loves it. We had to do extra settling in sessions in the beginning but the staff helped us throughout to get our daughter all used to how the day is and her new little friends. Now she loves everyday she is there. Would highly recommended
them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My baby girl has been going to Kids Planet Stalybridge since February 2025. I was worried initially leaving her with anyone but my nerves soon settled when I saw how well looked after she was. She goes out on trips, lots of interaction with staff and other kids & has developed a lot in the short
time she has been there. The updates on the app make my day and I feel we have a good relationship with the staff who look after her. The baby room has been amazing and I'll be so sad when she eventually moves to the next room but also look forward to meeting the staff there etc too. Thank you so much for taking care of my girl

So happy with this nursery. After a previous negative experience at a different nursery, I was hesitant about how my daughter would settle but everyone has been brilliant. Always a warm and welcoming atmosphere in the building and my daughter is really happy there.

My baby started in January this year full time with Kids Planet Stalybridge after looking at various local nurseries.
My baby is developing brilliantly and has settled in thanks to the support of the staff in the baby room. They have always been friendly, and reassuring and have built a great relationship
with my baby in such a short time.

My child is in preschool and the staff have been nothing but supportive and understanding of their possible additional needs. I feel I can leave them knowing they're happy to be there and they feel safe without me.

My little boy absolutely loves attending Kids Planet Stalybridge! He settled in so quickly from his first day, the girls in his room are wonderful and they can’t do enough for him! He always has a healthy cooked meal at lunch, snacks and drinks throughout the day and has come on so much with the help
of the staff.

We have had an overall good experience of the nursery.
The ladies running the room are great and really attentive.
I think the updates on the app could be more frequent and the handovers to the ladies who look after the kids at the end of the day could be more in-depth.

Fantastic nursery, couldn't ask for a more helpful caring staff. They are accommodating to myself and my child in regards to support and go above and beyond when it comes to my child's SEN needs. Very understanding in all situations my child finds themselves in and I feel very confident in all nursery
staff's abilities to meet my child's needs.

This is the best nursery in the area. The staff are amazing, the facilities are top notch and the children’s development and learning curriculum are excellent! My child enjoys most days at the nursery and has had a good time since starting at 7 months old.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.749)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.749) out of 10 for Kids Planet Stalybridge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 7 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 4.747 for Kids Planet Stalybridge is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.747
  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 4.002 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Stalybridge is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 116 number of registered child places is 23.2. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.2 = 0.302
  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.
