Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been attending kids planet West derby since September 2025 and although I was apprehensive at her starting nursery when i returned to work, I needn't of been as she has settled in so well and throughly enjoys her time here. My daughter is so happy going in of a morning and I am kept updated
regularly via the nursery app with info and pictures about her day. The nursery is modern and clean with a lovely calm friendly atmosphere and the staff always take the time to properly engage with parents on drop off and collection. The staff are all friendly, professional and attentive and genuinely care about the children. I absolutely would recommend this nursery to others.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child transferred to this nursery after his previous one closed operations, so obviously there was a little anxiety around how the transition was going to go. We needn't have worried!
The staff are all brilliant, genuinely invested in the kids' wellbeing and development. We're able to track their
activities and progress through the app, and there's always someone on hand for a chat if you need to talk about something specific.
The building itself is lovely, there's loads to engage the children and it's a very happy environment. They also have regular sessions on things like phonics and music, so it's a really well-rounded experience. And lastly, the food is fantastic! Varied, healthy, fresh. We joke that on the days he's in nursery, our son eats better than us!
Couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy absolutely loves going to preschool here and looks forward to going in every morning. The staff take such genuine care in getting to know each child, their interests, and what makes them feel happy and comfortable. He's always welcomed with a big smile, which sets such a good tone for
his day.


Every afternoon he comes out full of excitement, eager to tell me all about the activities he's been doing. It's so clear that the team put so much thought into creating fun, educational, and engaging experiences for the children.


I couldn't be happier with the nursery

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have twins attending KP West Derby. They started their journey with KP in July 2025. And the transition from their previous nursery which sadly closed down, was seamless. The team were very reassuring and really focused on settling the twins in well. They do an array of activities and days out, there's
always something fun going on and stories to be told at the end of the day. Their support in encouraging and helping the twins along generally and also with their personal development has been amazing and very appreciated, they have come on leaps and bounds since starting. The twins have formed amazing bonds with the whole team and their key workers, its so lovely and comforting to know that they're in safe hands. Plenty of cuddles and smiles, and excited faces when they arrive, from the twins and the team. It honestly feels more like a family than a care setting. The facilities are also fantastic, and they get amazing meals every day too! I'd recommend kids planet west derby to all!!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 18 month old has recently started at Kids Planet West Derby and all the staff have been so welcoming. They are so supportive in his settling in journey and have given lots of reassurance and confidence we have chosen the right nursery for him. The staff have really taken the time and effort to get
to know him personally, they provide lovely photos and updates throughout the day. We are always greeted with a smile when we come to nursery and the set up is great, with fabulous gardens and spacious rooms full of activity. The nursery is clean and tidy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We honestly couldn't ask for a better nursery. From the second you walk through the door you're greeted with smiles and warmth, and it instantly feels like a safe and happy place. The staff are amazing with the children, caring, they actually take the time to really know each child as an individual.
My little one runs in excited every morning and always comes home full of stories about what they've done.
The activities are brilliant too, it's not just the usual painting and play (though they do that as well!), there's always something fun and creative going on. It's clear they put a lot of thought into keeping the children engaged and learning while still having loads of fun.
You just feel like they genuinely care about the children.
We feel so lucky to have found this nursery, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere that feels like a second home for their child.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.057)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.057) out of 10 for Kids Planet West Derby is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 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 5.000 for Kids Planet West Derby is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 5
  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 4.057 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet West Derby is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 98 number of registered child places is 19.6. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.6 = 0.357
  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.
