I have two children who attend Kids Planet Lymm with the eldest having attended for over three years (since he was 12 months old). He has loved his time at nursery and we love to hear about the activities he has been involved with. From an educational standpoint, I feel that the staff have helped him
develop and improve his numeracy and writing skills. The staff have been fantastic all the way up from when he joined as a baby, through to pre-school. My youngest has settled in well and she judging by the regular influx of photos we are sent through the app she is enjoying her time there.
Management is extremely approachable and accommodating. They are willing to go above and beyond to help with our needs and we are very grateful for it.

Both of our children have attended Kids Planet Lymm, with our eldest now moving up to a local Primary. Our youngest started at 12 months old, moving through several rooms and dedicated key workers. He is currently in pre-school preparing to follow in his big sister's footsteps this summer. The setting
and facilities at Kids Planet are excellent, supplemented with regular outings to the village and other nearby settings which the kids love. The staff are excellent, always friendly and have developed really strong bonds with the Children. Would recommend it to others!

The team at Kids Planet Lymm are absolutely wonderful! They are very welcoming and have been since day 1 to myself and my daughter. All team members know her by name and always say hello and goodbye to her. They have been a huge help with her reaching milestones, like walking, weaning and potty training.
They have created a warm, happy environment for all the children. We love it!

Both my children have attended Kids Planet Lymm from being about 18 months and they both love going to nursery. The staff are great and they always keep you informed of how your child is doing at nursery. My eldest son is leaving soon to go to primary school and the transition has been fantastic. I
would definitely recommend Kids Planet Lymm.

My daughter loves coming to nursery, everyone is so friendly and knows who she is. We appreciate the massive variety of activities, learning aids and events put on by the nursery, which she is learning from everyday. She’s come on leaps and bounds since joining.

Our daughter has been at Kids Planet Lymm since being 12 months old and is now in the preschool room. The nursery staff are excellent. Nothing is too much for them and our daughter always looks forward to going. On occasions when there's any issue or problem, the staff are quick to understand the issue
and either resolve themselves or assist with helping you as a parent. All of the staff are well-trained and know their children very well. Food wise, the food is prepared by the chef on site and is nutritious and healthy. Both outdoor and indoor space is excellent and keeps the children busy throughout the day. Even though the cost of any nursery is expensive nowadays, the value is really good. Also the opening times of the nursery is really good if both parents work full time. Overall I'd have no hesitations whatsoever to recommend Kids Planet Lymm to prospective parents.

My boys started nursery in July. The staff have made the transition work smoothly and the boys are very happy in preschool. They look forward to going every day. They always talk about the staff with excitement and they are all very friendly. We are well-kept informed of their daily routine and contacted
in any incident.

Over the last two years, I have been blown away by how far my son has come along - physically, emotionally and verbally. It is evident that a lot of care and thought is taken into consideration in the planning of not only the day-to-day activities but, each month, there is a wealth of activities that
the children and families are involved in. The environment and facilities that are offered are brilliant, providing independence and a unique learning experience to the youngsters. The food that is provided always goes down a treat, and nutrition is something that is always high on Kids Planet's agenda. It really is a pleasure to know that my son has the best people teaching him, caring for him and nurturing him whilst at nursery. Thanks so much for your fabulous efforts year on year.

Our son has been attending Kids Planet Lymm since he was 10 months old. He thoroughly enjoys himself there and does a wide range of activities every day and trips out that are both stimulating and educational. The staff are all lovely; very friendly and supportive and accommodating with swaps/extra
days wherever possible. They seem to really care about our little boy and his development. I really like the app and the updates throughout the day as it gives me peace of mind and it's lovely seeing pictures of his day. The nursery has recently been refurbished too and it looks really good. There has been a high turnover of staff recently, particularly with management, which is why I'm giving 4 stars, but this seems to be settling with the new management.

We have been at Kids Planet, Lymm for 7 years now, both daughters have attended. As we come to our last month there, for my youngest, I can only praise the ongoing relationships my daughters have formed with staff. The stimulating and exciting activities that are created for the children and also the
day trips. I am kept up to date with an app which shows me development assessments, photos and meals they have had during the day. Highly recommended.

My little girl has recently moved up to Toddlers, felt like only yesterday when she started in babies a year ago. The staff are so lovely, you feel like you're walking into a little family. It’s great when I come to collect her and see by her little face that she has had a good day. I really like the
app, which keeps me updated on what my daughter is doing, what she has eaten, nappy changes etc, so it's peace of mind that she is doing just fine. I had various nurseries to choose from but Kids Planet Lymm really stood out and I am glad she attends there. Thank you.

My son is about to finish his time at Kids Planet Lymm and he's thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The staff are great at dealing with his emotions and his occasional difficulties early in the morning. The setting is lovely and they've recently invested in the look of the site and the outdoor space,
which is very important to me. They offer a varied range of activities and trips out, e.g. forest school and walks to the local village. I was impressed with the standard of service during the pandemic which must have been difficult for the staff. The only reason I have given 4 stars instead of 5 is that I think staff turnover is high and this can cause problems with communication. I would like to see a more stable management team in place and I would like them to be more visible. As a result of the changing staff I feel that communication with parents could be improved.

We love this nursery. They have been amazing in every way. We have 2 children at the nursery who have thrived since they’ve been there. They’ve supported our children through transitions and developed their confidence in all areas of learning and development. The staff show genuine care and affection.
And most importantly my children love going into nursery.

I have a 4 year old and 3 year old who have both been at Kids Planet Lymm since they were 4 months old. The staff there are incredibly conscientious, patient and kind. They work hard to arrange different activities daily and have done so many exciting things with the kids that I could never do at home.
There are continual improvements put into the nursery and facilities available. My eldest is about to move on to primary school and I can’t help but think back when I first took him round as a newborn and my mind was immediately put at ease. Thank you to everyone involved in helping raise my babies x

My daughter has absolutely flourished since starting at Kids Planet. She had a difficult transition when we moved house during lockdown which has been eased with the kindness, care and stability provided by the teachers. Both my partner and I work shifts within the NHS, and the management team has always
been extremely accommodating about swapping or getting extra days, even at short notice they try their utmost to facilitate things. The team goes above and beyond in integrating the children into the village, and my daughter loves to tell me where they have been on their walk-odiles.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.345)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.345) out of 10 for Kids Planet Lymm is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 11 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 4.955 for Kids Planet Lymm is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.955

  • 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 4.39 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Lymm is based on 11 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 141 number of registered child places is 28.2. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 28.2 = 0.39

  • 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.
