Our son has been at Kids Planet Sheepbridge since the age of 10 months in June 2024.
The staff were really helpful and friendly in his settling-in sessions and the communication via the app is great, updated in real-time and our son is always happy when we come to collect.

Both our boys have attended this nursery - One of them has left to start school, and we've seen such positive growth in him, all thanks to the nurturing and supportive environment provided here. The staff have always been kind, attentive, and truly invested in the well-being and development of the children.
The
transition to school has been seamless for our eldest, and we believe much of that confidence comes from the solid foundation he received at the nursery.
Our youngest is still there, and every time he comes home with a huge smile on his face. The nursery has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that really puts our minds at ease, knowing he's in great hands. They are very careful with the aspect of children with allergies also which has made us feel more at ease leaving our youngest.
We couldn't have asked for a better start for both of our boys!

It took us a long time to choose the right nursery and I had a lot of anxiety around leaving my little girl. However, as soon as we walked in to Kids Planet, we liked the feel of the place. The setting is well resourced, welcoming and the staff are all so friendly. Our daughter has taken a while to
settle and the staff have been so patient and caring. She needs a lot of reassurance and they always give her cuddles to comfort her, especially at drop off time. The app is updated throughout the day so we know what she's been up to, what she's eaten, and how long she's slept. She has forged a strong bond with her key worker, who clearly knows our daughter well.


All in all, we couldn't be happier and are so pleased we chose Kids Planet.

Cannot speak highly enough of Sheepbridge Kids Planet!
I was really anxious about my 9-month-old starting nursery but the staff put me at ease straight away with two transition visits. My little one loves going to nursery and I feel so comfortable leaving her with the lovely staff. Communication is
fab and she is progressing brilliantly. Wouldn't send my children anywhere else.
Thank you so much from a very grateful mum!

Really happy with our experience. It is the best feeling knowing that you can drop your child off and know that they are safe and being looked after by the amazing ladies at nursery. Our little boy loves the ladies and is building strong bonds and it makes us really happy. Feedback is received on collection
to give that reassurance. Couldn't be happier with Kids Planet Sheepbridge.

I feel that since my child has started nursery she has developed a very close bond with the staff and feels comfortable with them, she talks very highly of one staff member in particular and shares with me the things have has done throughout the day. This makes me feel comfortable knowing that my child
is getting the same kind of emotional support that she does at home and feels settled.
My child's's development has improved drastically since starting nursery and she really enjoys it. She has come out of her shell and feels confident, she also loves playing with her friends and has started to engage in different activities since being at the nursery.

I can't thank this nursery enough for everything they do for my little boy. As a parent of an autistic toddler, I had alot of anxieties about how my son would cope at nursery and how he would be treated. The staff at Sheepbridge Kids Planet are just amazing with him and he has become really attached
to his lovely key worker. She goes above and beyond for him and has managed to achieve things that even I couldn't do with his eating. As well as being a picky eater he is also gluten free and dairy free which the nursery accomodates and the chef there is so caring and considerate. She really goes out of her way to cater to his tastes and sensory needs. They really allow him to be himself and celebrate his uniqueness. He absolutely loves the facilities as the nursery is nice and big with large outdoor areas so he can run around and climb all day. His two favourite things! The manager is doing a fab job as the new manager and the nursery is going from strength to strength.

We personally love the nursery and ethos. The open layout means self-exploration is encouraged and the outdoor space is incredible. The staff are open and friendly. They actively encourage individual interests for every child. Every day a new activity is set up for their exploration. Some children prefer
a more homey environment but for our little one who is fiercely independent and loves as much space as possible to run around it's perfect.

Since my little boy has started at Kids Planet Sheepbridge, they have supported both me and my son. I have seen a difference in his confidence, his speech and in trying new foods. There always there to help and nothing is a silly question. I would recommend this nursery cause it is well-managed nursery
staff are lovely. Food always smells amazing.

Kids Planet at Sheepbridge, is an absolutely phenomenal nursery.
My child's speech, communication and language skills have improved immensely in the time he has spent in the nursery setting.
Staff/management are nothing but amazing!
I have no concerns about the care they provide for my child whilst
at the setting.

My daughter has been going to Kids Planet Sheepbridge for probably nearly a year now.
The setting, staff and management team are all so brilliant I couldn't ask for a better care provider for my daughter. She has been the most happiest at this nursery and looks forward to going each day.
Thank you
to everyone at Sheepbridge for giving our daughter the best start in her life, and the best experience.
She loves preschool.

Absolutely love my little boy's nursery. They fill me with so much confidence after a bad experience with a previous nursery. I'm made to feel my child is actually looked after and cared for, he has fun and he learns. I know if he's hungry he will be fed and it's all nutritional meals as their in-house
cook preps each meal daily. The staff are amazing. So helpful and caring. I have no doubts or worries at all with this nursery. And would highly recommend to anyone. Wish I had found this nursery first.

Such an amazing nursery. After a previous bad nursery experience, we were extremely nervous about our daughter returning to a new nursery, but this one has set our minds at ease. All the staff have been so good with our daughter, and the nursery is always so clean. We would highly recommend.

Highly recommend this Nursery to anyone. I moved my son to this Nursery as had a bad experience previously and I couldn’t be happier, they have been brilliant. To start with the flexibility and reliability with hours/ days are great, the meals and choice of food are also fantastic with my son trying
loads of new things and loving them. But the thing I love the most is the staff and activities they do with the children, I can actually see a bond between them and my son and he is happy every day when we walk in and that speaks a thousand words to me.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.402)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.402) out of 10 for Kids Planet Sheepbridge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 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 4.846 for Kids Planet Sheepbridge is calculated as follows: ( (122 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.846

  • 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 4.556 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Sheepbridge is based on 12 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 108 number of registered child places is 21.6. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.6 = 0.556

  • 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.
