At Kids Planet Mapperley South, they encourage children to pursue their individual interests, allowing daily activities to be adaptable and driven by the children themselves. This approach helps support them in reaching their next milestones. Their Forest School sessions enhance the self-esteem, focus, and social skills of children, while pre-schoolers enjoy outings on the nursery Bus, where they explore the woods and acquire new skills.

The spacious garden provides ample room for play, with a variety of equipment and endless opportunities for young explorers to unleash their imagination.

Their qualified and experienced team creates a calm yet stimulating environment where children are nurtured and inspired to explore their curiosity, engaging in activities they love. They recognise the advantages of child-led initiatives and actively supports and foster their development, guiding them on an exciting journey that prepares them for school and future endeavours.

Review from Kirsty A (Mother of Child) published on 25 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having been deeply disappointed with another local nursery, we decided to pull our little one out and look for an alternative for him. As soon as we had our initial 'look around', we knew Mapperley South was right for him. The staff made his transition to nursery so smooth, allowing our little one to
settle at a pace that was right for him and we have never looked back. The staff in the baby room are nothing short of exemplary and even staff in the Toddler and Preschool rooms know his name and make a fuss of him. The menu is superb, wholesome and varied and we are kept updated with photos and developmental milestones via app.


I am really pleased with how much time the children spend outside and I am looking forward to our little one attending Forest School when he is older.


Access to the nursery has recently been upgraded and, aside from a few initial teething problems, has been a much better system. Parking is limited but it isn't too bothersome once you get used to it!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.740)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.740) out of 10 for Kids Planet Mapperley South 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.740 for Kids Planet Mapperley South is calculated as follows: ( (191 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.74
  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 Mapperley South is based on 21 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, which has been reached with 21 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2008

I’ve been in childcare for 17 years now, starting my adventure as an apprentice in 2008 and becoming a nursery manager in 2015. For the past three years, I've been at Mapperley South and have also managed our sister settings: Mapperley, Sherwood, and Country Park. Working with children has always been my passion! As a leader, my aim has always been to offer top-quality care alongside my wonderful team. We take pride in giving every child the best possible start on their unique learning journeys. I hold a Level 3 qualification in childcare, along with my paediatric first aid certification. I also take on the role of designated safeguarding lead and support the nursery's SEND coordinator, ensuring we provide inclusive care for all children.
