Review from Rachael I (Mother of Child) published on 18 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of our children have been to this nursery. Our eldest son has left now but when we were pregnant with our second, we immediately knew which nursery she would go to. Some of the staff have been at the nursery for years and it's so lovely to have such familiar faces over the years. Our son loves
coming back to pick his sister up as everybody loves to chat with him. Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and has made such great connections with the staff. We love sending her somewhere we know cares about her to such a great standard. I would always recommend Kids Planet Basford.
Reply from Rachel Sherratt at Kids Planet BasfordThank you for taking the time to review us, we do appreciate it, and we are so pleased that your children and yourselves feel so happy with Basford. As a team, we are committed to ensuring every child is cared for, and supported and our parents can have peace of mind with regular app updates and a happy and settled child.

Review from Lidiane S (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Amazing staff. Such a warm environment. The manager and the girls are absolutely lovely and caring. When I started looking for a nursery, I visit a few and didn't feel safe. As soon as I entered there I knew it was the right place. My son adapted fast, soon he was not even crying when we left, and I
could see he is very well treated as he smiled and jumped in his teacher's arms, happy and excited to get inside. He feels safe there and I am so grateful to all the staff for giving me the best time and support since the beginning. Thank you.

Review from C D (Father of Child) published on 29 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little girl settled really quickly and enjoys going, despite only being a little over a year. The staff are phenomenal and are super friendly and accomodating to different needs. The play equipment (toys, books etc.) they have is fairly modern and the spaces are warm and inviting for both children
and adults. Staff keep parents up to date often via the app and are generally quite communicative, keeping our peace of mind. Meals given to children are mostly well-rounded and healthy and seem to vary a lot day to day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has attended Kids Planet in Basford since she was 1 and she loves it. She has made friends, her confidence has grown and her speech and language have developed wonderfully. I love that the staff have the best interest of the children and get to know them on an individual basis. Being able to
see what she's done that day and eaten is also very reassuring to me as a parent to see she's having fun.

Review from Libby F (Mother of Child) published on 26 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started this nursery in January 2024. I was super nervous as it was the first time I had left her with someone other than family. The team at Kids Planet offered such a warm welcome and welcomed my daughter to their little lovely family. Every morning we get full smiles, my daughter loves
going to nursery and she is thriving! The app is fab that they use so you can keep connected on what your child is up to in the day and what they are having for meals. The girls are fantastic at what they do and they generally love the little people they care for like they are their own children. I couldn't be happier with the nursery. Keep doing what you're doing girls as you are all fabulous!

Review from J L (Mother of Child) published on 11 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little boy has been attending Kids Planet Basford since August, just before he turned 11 months old. I felt immediately at ease with the staff here and the three gentle settling in sessions were brilliant. Meal times, naps and nappy change updates are available via an app along with occasional photo
updates on nursery activities.
What stands out to me is how dedicated each member of the team is to each child. My son is always so excited to be dropped off in the morning, which sets us all up for the day knowing how happy he is. It is situated on a busy residential road, but there's always safe parking spots available. I would highly recommend Kids Planet Basford!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for Kids Planet Basford 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.942 for Kids Planet Basford is calculated as follows: ( (294 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.942
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Basford is based on 26 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
