Kids Planet Audenshaw have been the most incredible start to my daughters learning journey. All the staff, from manager Michelle to the ladies that have cared for her in each of the rooms have been nothing short of amazing. She goes in everyday with the biggest smile excited to start her day. All the
staff are so kind and supportive, nothing feels too much of an ask.
I recommend to every parent I know, truly the best nursery around!

Absolutely amazing staff!! I cannot fault their dedication and love for my child. They are so attentive and as much as I would have preferred to spend more time with my child before going back to work he has blossomed at nursery. They are so happy to see him when I walk through the doors with him and
it puts my mind at ease. He smiles at them as soon as he sees them and I know he feels safe and happy. I feel comfortable leaving him there which is a huge thing for me. Thank you so much for making my child happy it puts my mind at ease and I know hes going to be showered with love all day whilst I'm at work.

My son has just moved up from toddlers to pre-school, and the transition couldn't have gone any better. It tells you a lot about the staff and their caring nature when your child is excited to go into nursery with no tears, not even a look back to say bye to mummy or daddy. He has settled perfectly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Compared to my oldest child's day nursery which now feels very outdated within their practices and the following of the EYFS, Kids Planet Audenshaw operates very differently. Including the support from the staff and management. My daughter is happy, confident and thriving and if I have any questions
relating to development, possible SEN needs I couldn't speak highly enough around this. Also a big thing for me is to be able to go into the room and collect my daughter, which wasn't allowed at my eldest daughter's nursery in Denton. The rooms are cctv monitored which I feel is vital within an environment where if you turn your back for a second something could happen. I love that I get online updates daily on her lunch, sleep plus what she's done inc pictures instead of being given a slip of paper that states what toys were played with. I feel guilty I didn't put my eldest daughter at this nursery so she could have the same experience as her sister.

I have had a great experience with Kids Planet. My daughter loves going to nursery, but when we arrive, she starts to cry because I leave her there. That being said, the staff are amazing with calming her down and making her feel safe. Me and her mother receive daily updates on what our daughter has
done during the day (in the form of pictures and a list of what has happened during the day). We are extremely happy with the treatment our daughter receives at nursery, and she is learning so much from going.

Brilliant staff who care so well for the children. Excellent outdoor facilities and well thought out education given to the children. Plenty of opportunity for independent and group play. Only issue has been the huge price increase in April 2025, this was extortionate and unfair for working class parents
however this is not down to the individual nursery or staff at Audenshaw.

Kids planet provides outstanding childcare for my two boys in before and after school care.
The staff are always happy and attentive to my boys and the boys them self also have positive feedback to me about their time when I have left.
The boys mainly do before school club but sometimes ask me to
leave them there for after school club too, so they are definitely doing something right!!!
The manager is amazing too!


100% would recommend Kids planet audenshaw to Everyone.

Wonderful nursery! Such lovely, professional and caring staff. My son has been at the nursery for a couple of years and is due to leave in September for reception. The nursery has helped him grow and develop so much I am forever grateful! The holiday club is also wonderful and my eldest has loved it
(which has helped me feel less guilty for working in the holidays!).


I could not recommend kids planet Audenshaw enough. I've always felt that my children have been safe and happy whilst in their care. Thank you.

Best nursery in Tameside! From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew this was the right place for our son. The staff are absolutely amazing-so friendly, approachable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They create a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued,
and encouraged to grow.
Our son loved every moment of his time here. He was always excited to go in the morning and came home full of stories about the fun activities, new friends, and what he had learned. The setting itself is fantastic-bright, clean, and filled with age-appropriate toys, books, and resources that keep the children engaged and stimulated throughout the day.
The staff truly can't do enough for the kids. They go above and beyond to ensure every child is happy and thriving. It's clear they build strong, caring relationships with both the children and their families. Communication with parents is excellent-we were always kept in the loop about our child's progress and daily

My little girl started Preschool last September and had previously had a bad experience at another nursery, she was upset and reserved but within two weeks of settling with the amazing staff, she loved it. Since then she has grown so much in her personality, she asks me every day 'is it nursery today
mummy?'
The staff are amazing, friendly and professional and actually care about your child's development. She has made lots of friends and loves it that much that she will be remaining in Preschool till next September when she starts reception instead of changing to school nursery. Thanks so much to all of you.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My daughter attends and has done for the past year. She goes in with a smile and comes home with an even bigger smile. The staff are welcoming and nurturing. They have supported my daughter with her speech delay and I have never felt judged.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.917)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.917) out of 10 for Kids Planet Audenshaw 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 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.917 for Kids Planet Audenshaw is calculated as follows: ( (380 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 408 Ratings = 4.917
  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 Audenshaw is based on 34 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 102 number of registered child places is 20.4, which has been reached with 34 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.
