Review from R H (Father of Child) published on 7 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 2 year old son started in October 2024 and we have been really pleased with the nursery. We send him just 2 days a week and our primary reason for him to attend was to give him the stimulation and learning opportunities.
It has been really good, he enjoys attending and is clearly happy playing and
learning at the nursery.
They have organised tasks with learning on each day and there are plenty of toys to keep him entertained. He loves the outside space and the sandpit and water table!
The staff clearly know him well and have helped with potty training. There are updates shared daily on his eating and activities.
I would happily recommend the nursery to everyone.

My daughter started at this nursery in December 2024. My main priority when choosing a nursery was my daughter's care, happiness and relationship with the staff. I wanted a nursery where I felt confident leaving my daughter. I needed to feel that when I left her she would be looked after. I'm so happy
with all of the staff. They are all knowledgeable, well qualified and always enthusiastic. They are also attentive in respect of nappy changes, napping times and general baby signs.The nursery rooms are large, bright. The baby sensory room is superb. The meals are nutritious, well balanced and very much enjoyed by my daughter. The drop off times and pick up are great if you are working early shifts. The learning stories updated to the parents app are informative and show how my daughter is developing through play and activities. She is yet to go on a trip out but I'm sure she will enjoy it when they do. All in all myself and my partner are extremely happy.

Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review. We alternate the days for the trips, however with the weather being very icy, it would have been dangerous to go out, but we are planning now…read more

The team at Kids Planet - Stanley Square are nothing short of absolutely amazing. My son has come along massively since starting in September, he loves coming to nursery. He's starting to talk a lot more and learning to communicate his likes and dislikes really well. They have been really helpful, patient,
and understanding with my son's needs and helped him explore things out of his comfort zone at his own pace. He has bonded really well with the staff and they all go above and beyond for him. I feel so relaxed as a mother leaving him in the care of the staff here knowing how well he'll be looked after throughout the day. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough to people, it really is the best.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at the nursery since March 2024. We looked at quite a few nurseries and were so pleased when we came for a viewing. The setup is great: purpose-built, each room has its own outdoor space, food made on-site and a gorgeous sensory room. There were some hiccups initially due to unavoidable
staffing changes. However, now, our baby room lead is so on the ball and really knows and cares about my child. Her keyworker and other room staff are so attached to her and vice versa. The manager is friendly and approachable and is always around to speak to. She knows all of the children, which makes you feel like she has taken a real interest in the nursery and the kids. Even though this is baby no3, I found it challenging and heart-wrenching to leave her. But I genuinely feel that I couldn't have left her in a more loving and nurturing environment. The nursery is still increasing in numbers, so it hasn't fulfilled its capacity or potential, but I have no doubt that it will!

The staff are friendly. The nursery is a new-purpose-built building so has a modern, clean and spacious feel to it. Management is experienced and helpful. Outdoor space is very engaging and the kids go out on regular trips to the local high street and play centre as well.

I'm incredibly happy with the nursery my 20-month-old daughter has been attending since July. The cleanliness is outstanding, and the in-house chef provides warm, nutritious meals daily, ensuring her dietary needs are met. The staff are attentive, with regular nappy changes and diligent care, making
sure she's comfortable. I especially appreciate the nursery app, which provides real-time updates on her day, from meals to learning activities, helping me feel connected. The staff create a nurturing environment, fostering her development through fun, educational activities. Overall, I'm thrilled with the nursery's care, communication, and support.

I hope any parent who is looking for a nursery for their child will feel reassured by my words. Picking a nursery; a place where I am happy to leave my child whilst I am working is very hard. My main priority is; whether is it safe and is my son happy, and I am happy to say I am very reassured and this
is due to every staff member. I chose this particular nursery because I love the resources and the learning opportunities it has. There were some teething issues at the start of the year like all new organisations, but the manager and staff are honestly great. The office door is always open, and any questions or worries are quickly resolved. The staff really do put the time and effort in with every individual child and make it a personal experience. The nursery reaches out to the local community, which is lovely, and they are always creating a positive and happy environment for all. My son is happy in the nursery, and this is due to the staff and the activities that are planned daily. Thank you all.

We have had a lovely experience so far since my daughter joined Kids Planet Stanley Square in July. All of the staff are lovely and it is obvious they're passionate about childcare and ensuring my daughter feels comfortable and cared for at nursery. My daughter has taken part in lots of fun activities,
including a trip to the shops and has settled in really well. 5 stars for KP Stanley Square!

My son has been attending Kids Planet Stanley Square since January 2024. He is settled, happy, safe and well looked after. Staff have got to know him really well and he has strong bonds with them. We are always warmly welcomed into the room and can see the children playing well, engaged in planned activities
or being supported at mealtimes depending on what time we drop off/pick up. I have nipped over to check on him in the middle of the day and been able to see exactly the same: despite being an unexpected visit, the manager was happy to let me straight in to see him. They are often outside in the nursery garden and go out on local trips regularly too. We are kept informed of what he has eaten, how he has slept, nappy changes and photos during the day through the app. The manager is friendly, approachable and involved in what's happening in the rooms. We are really happy with the quality of care for our son and have no worries about him during the day while he's at nursery.

Nursery is absolutely fantastic with big open spaces and feels so modern and clean.
The toys and equipment for the children are like nothing I have seen elsewhere, and I'm sure this helps the children learn through play and use their imagination.
The staff are so friendly and attentive. Their needs
are always met and I feel like the children are really in a safe environment.

Our little one is currently in the toddlers room. It has been an extremely pleasing experience so far and Kid's Planet Stanley Square has been our best experience seeing that we have been with several nurseries and childminders. The staff are super amazing! A perfect team who are excellent with ours
and the other kids, such that ours have become so comfortable with them and looks forward to going back every single day. Activities for the kids are tailored and varied which is also delightful. The nursery management is also top-notch; very responsive and are extremely supportive and helpful. The whole set-up is simply perfect and I would recommend 100 times over!

Upon being shown around the nursery, I felt at ease and was made to feel I was making the right decision for my daughter in sending her to Kids Planet Stanley Square. The manager was very welcoming and reassured me that all my child's development needs would be reached. I found that the rooms were well
equipped and that the staff had been trained to the highest standard. Staff were very engaged with the children and were able to answer any questions I had in regards to routine etc. The cleanliness of the building stood out to me. I was also very impressed that they were wheelchair accessible, as I feel that this is important for all children to be able to attend. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter started recently in the baby room and I cannot give enough praise to all the staff! They have been amazing in helping her settle during what is a difficult time when they first start nursery. We received updates each day letting us know how she was getting on, not just via the app but also
calling us which was a lovely personal touch.
The room is modern and spacious, with lots of engaging activities for the children and the sensory room is amazing! There is a brilliant, secure garden area attached to the room that is also partially under cover so they make use of it each day which is great.
Special mention to the nursery manager as well as two particular members of staff in the baby room. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are all so professional, friendly and supportive. My daughter is loving it there!

My daughter is currently in the baby room and from the beginning I have just been so impressed. The whole team have been so kind and I just feel they genuinely care so much about the parents and the children they look after. Handover is always really thorough and I can tell they know my daughter and
her needs so well already. It's a gorgeous space and my daughter has settled in so well. It's the little touches that also make the difference. Fruit at the entrance (which my older daughter loves on pick up and helps the negotiation of walking there!) as does the bird seed - I know it sounds little but just makes it feel more than just a business. It feels really relaxed yet super professional - honestly just brilliant!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.705)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.705) out of 10 for Kids Planet Stanley Square 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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 4.833 for Kids Planet Stanley Square is calculated as follows: ( (195 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.833
  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 4.872 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Stanley Square 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 109 number of registered child places is 21.8. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.8 = 0.872
  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.
