Lovely staff, always a warm welcoming and that gives me a sense of relief that my little boy is going to have a really nice day. He loves going into his room. The staff meet his needs and push his boundaries to achieve his goals. I know my boy is in the best of hands and having lots of fun. I love the
updates I get when he is in nursery. Keep doing what you're doing ladies. Your doing a amazing job

I couldn't ask for a better nursery for my son, even on the day of visiting the nursery I seen how comfortable my son took to it, since being at the nursery he has absolutely loved it, how the staff have handled him has been great, he struggled leaving me at first and now he still gets lil upset but
he settles straight away, staff are great and he talks about them by name when he at home. He has came along so much by being there. I appreciate all the staff

Choosing a nursery is always difficult, however, Kids Planet Henley Road is amazing, I will recommend it to anyone and send any future children there too.
The food is fantastic and varied, the app/updates are great for peace of mind and the activities and learning they do are amazing (I've really
seen my little one come on since starting there).
My boy started there at 1 and is now almost 18 months old. He was very nervous to go, but the staff there have had patience and nurtured him into loving it.

My little girl absolutely loves going to this nursery. The staff are so bubbly and attentive to every child. My little girl can not wait for the day to start just so she can go to nursery and never wants to leave.
You get updates throughout the day via the app and at the end of each day you get an
update from staff of their day.
My daughter has learnt to fully walk and coming along with her speech due to the staff at the nursery. The staff work with the family to if you require any help or a listening ear. One of the best nurseries around and would highly recommend this nursery. 5 stars all around, with learning, caring, informative and general kindness. Thank you for all you have done for both my girls.

They are a fantastic nursery that goes above and beyond for children in their care. My daughter goes in and comes out smiling every day and staff have worked hard to build a trusting, caring relationship with her. I feel confident leaving my child in their care and communication with parents is excellent.

Fab nursery! My son has attended this nursery since the age of 1, he absolutely loves it here, the staff are kind and compassionate. He formed a close bond with one member of staff. The only fault I would say is moving him to the sister nursery once aged 3, this made me very sad as I know he bonded
well at Kids Planet 1.

Thank you for your kind words. It was lovely to be a part of your journey and see the development and growth during his time here. I have no doubt he will continue to flourish at Henley 2 and will form new attachments.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My son attended the setting 5+ years ago and my foster child has been attending since January this year. It was a no-brainer as my first experience was so positive. I have built a great relationship with all the staff as has the child in my care and his development in such a short space of time is a
credit to what a great job they all do. Nothing is ever too much but most importantly it is a home away from home. My children spent nearly 10 hours a day here to enable me to work and I couldn't choose a better bunch of people to help me raise them. This is also evident in their staff retention as a majority of the staff are the same and many have worked there for 10+ years. The children have a great variety of activities throughout the day and often take days out to the park and library. They honestly just do an amazing job and I would recommend them over and over again.

My son has been attending Kids Planet Henley 1 over a month now. The nursery has a lovely, warm and inviting culture which was something really important to us when choosing a nursery.
All of the staff are so nurturing and supportive and they provide him with so much care, attention and positivity.
Every
day there is a new activity or experience planned. I have always found the key workers to be very communicative, informing and reassuring. The app is very handy and I can see pictures of my son and everyday activities.
Highly recommend this nursery.

Kids Planet have been amazing from day one with my son! It’s an overwhelming process going from spending every day with your child to ending maternity and letting them go, but straight away they made me and my husband feel confident and cared for and that our son would be in the best hands- and that
is true! He is a wild child, but the team have been amazing and nurturing and helping him to develop and encouraging him! The staff in Babies 1 and Babies 2 are a credit to Kids Planet and we can not thank them enough for taking care of our little heart!
My child has multiple allergies too and they have been great accommodating this. The updates on the app are amazing and the communication has been fantastic! The manager is brilliant too - always there to greet you at drop off and pick up and is super friendly and helpful!
You can tell the staff actually care about the children and they know my child so well and that is really important when you’re entrusting your child with others!

Happy for my child to be here. Staff work hard to make time here fun and interesting for child. They promote independence and have been very supportive with potty training. My child has really warmed to staff, who show a great deal of care. Outdoor facilities could be improved, but overall happy with
nursery. Management are present and approachable.

My child has been attending the nursery since he was approximately 9 months old. He has always been excited about going to nursery. Over the last year he has been really supported in terms of his speech and language development and the nursery have adapted their skills to help encourage and support
him to be able to flourish. My son will now come home and tell me the things he has done in the day and will mention staff names, of whom he has enjoyed playing with, it’s a pleasure to hear him trying to tell his story and interpretation of the day.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.823)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.823) out of 10 for Kids Planet Henley 1 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 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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 4.823 for Kids Planet Henley 1 is calculated as follows: ( (464 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 547 Ratings = 4.823

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Henley 1 is based on 46 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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6, which has been reached with 46 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
