Kids Planet Burbage is a wonderful nursery. The staff are encouraging, enthusiastic and really care about the children. We get detailed handovers, updates about what activities the children are doing and regular learning stories via the app.
The building is a great set-up with good outdoor space.
The food menu is varied and I always smile when I see that the children have had second helpings.
Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Currently on our third key worker this year, have not been notified each time that a member of staff was leaving. Updates on the portal now only cover mealtimes, with very little additional content to explain any learning or activities that have taken place. Current room setups do not reflect the facilities
needed for the age of children. The handover at pick up is inconsistent.
Used to really love this nursery and the care and effort put in by staff, but since government funding start age dropped, there have been a lot of staff changes and general inconsistencies compared to the excellent service and learning opportunities that used to exist.

The staff are all very friendly and caring, all staff know the child by name and greet as they come into the nursery.
The child has a fantastic time and seems very well looked after. Developing in leaps and bounds with the help of the nursery staff.
Feel like my child is known very well by staff members
and they meet their physical and emotional needs very well.
Staff have helped my child transition through having a new sibling, as well as helping me feel supported with the change too.
Have absolutely no worries sending my child to nursery for the day.

The staff at Kids Planet are brilliant. They should be paid more for the quality of care they are able to give to the children. I'm glad that the staffing levels have finally increased for them to be able to do their job to the level and standard they aim for. This increase in staffing levels has been
reflected in the happiness that my child now goes into nursery, which I do not feel is a coincidence. Thanks again!

My child has attended the nursery for two years he has SEN requirements which have not only been taken on board but have been embraced by the team at Kids Planet.
Since attending nursery my child has overcome some challenges, I am a firm believer that the encouragement and social engagement he receives
are fundamental to his development. Not only do they support my child but I too feel supported. They have engaged with external specialists, attended physio sessions and worked fantastically with our Portage worker. Our child comes home tired, messy and happy! Thank you!

My husband and I are very pleased with the nursery.
All of the staff we have dealt with are friendly, helpful and excellent with the children. The range of activities and experiences on offer are great and really help the children to thrive and grow. We don’t worry at all about our son when he is at
nursery, we know he is safe and happy and that is a credit to the staff who work there.

All staff are helpful and very knowledgable about our childcare. The pass over of information between staff is excellent so you feel safe talking with any staff member. Management are understanding and helpful with any issues we have. Overall our child loves going there. We love the new app and information
we receive on there. It’s lovely to still be involved with her day even though our child is not with us.

All the staff are amazing! My child has such a great connection with her key worker, she adores her.


As first time parents, the nursery has always supported us giving us tips and ideas, the most recent one was encouraging our child to brush her teeth. We mentioned to her key worker we were struggling

to get her to do this. By the afternoon a moment had been added to the app where she was learning how to do this in a fun and interactive way, when night time came, she was so excited to brush her teeth. Even now every morning after she has brushed her teeth she says ‘my keyworker will be pleased’- life savers!


My daughter thrives at nursery and loves going in every day.


She’s just started preschool and can already see her becoming more and more independent.


It’s the staff that make this such an enjoyable experience for my daughter. That’s every staff member, when my child was in the baby room to all the staff in toddlers and recently preschool staff.

My child has built an excellent relationship with his key worker at Burbage Kids Planet. He is always excited to go to her at drop off time and has plenty of smiles for all of the staff.
The app keeps us informed and it is so helpful to know how much he has slept and eaten during the day so we know
what he is going to require from us on an evening.
The only thing that would assist me further would be if the menu was emailed out ahead of the week so that I could meal plan around what he is having at nursery.

Our son is in the preschool at Burbage Kids Planet. I can speak on behalf of myself and my wife that we couldn’t speak highly enough of the nursery and the staff. Two members of staff have been particularly supportive of our son as he has been diagnosed with global development delay, they have gone
over and above with emotional support to us as parents and additional help with our son. This includes helping us with an EHCP application, DLA form and SEND support for the nursery for additional funding to support our son. We see the nursery as an extension of support we have around us to help with our son's additional needs. I would also like to thank the two members of staff who help look after him on a day to day basis, both these staff members especially give us peace of mind he is in safe hands when we are both at work. I would be happy to provide any further testimonials or recommendations - a superb team effort from everyone there. Thank you so much!

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.654)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.654) out of 10 for Kids Planet Burbage is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 6 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.643 for Kids Planet Burbage is calculated as follows: ( (61 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.643

  • b) 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 4.011 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Burbage is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.6

    • ii) 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.6 = 0.411

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
