Review from Jerissa S (Mother of Child) published on 22 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The nursery has had some huge changes over the past few months which has been a massive and positive improvement.


Communication is consistent and up to date and we love seeing the pictures of our children on the app.


I love the toddler room and the leaders in there.


The chef is also my son's

favourite chef!


The education has stepped up and I'm
so happy that the rooms have the same people every day so the kids feel more at ease and can create more stable relationships with their leaders.


I can't wait for the children to go back out on their walks and trips.

Thank you for your lovely words! We are so glad you are happy with the changes we have been working hard on. The chef's food is delicious, I must say!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My nephew absolutely loves this nursery! The staff are warm, caring, and truly dedicated to each child's development. He's always excited to go and comes home happy and full of stories. The activities are fun and educational, and communication with parents is great. A fantastic, nurturing environment!

Review from Carla S (Mother of Child) published on 21 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
New management and staff have done an incredible job improving the nursery. There is structure, communication and lots of positivity. I love seeing photos of my daughter doing creative activities on the new Famly app and whoever picks her up always gets an update on how she's been that day and what
she's eaten. The menu is great and has a 3 week rotation for the summer, I'm sometimes shocked that my fussy daughter does eat some of this food which I put down to it must be tasty and her friends are all eating together. Cost for extras is very cheap, not like other nurseries I looked into! Very happy overall!

We're so happy with the care our son receives at this nursery. The staff are kind, patient, and genuinely caring - it's clear they enjoy what they do. He always comes home happy, and we've seen such positive changes in his confidence and development. It's a lovely, nurturing environment, and we feel
reassured knowing he's in such good hands. Thank you for looking after him so well!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.843)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.843) out of 10 for Kids Planet Thrapston is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.843 for Kids Planet Thrapston is calculated as follows: ( (243 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.843
  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 Thrapston is based on 24 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 61 number of registered child places is 12.2, which has been reached with 24 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.
