Our daughter has been going to the nursery since Sept 2022, she settled in very quickly and always seems happy to go in. When collected, she is happy and comfortable in the setting. The team are always comforting and if we have any questions, they are happy to answer and give time to explain. Via the
app, we can see she is given lots of different opportunities to learn and play. And are kept updated on her day. Thank you for looking after our precious child with such care.

What a fantastic nursery! I have had my children attending here for 5 years and I don’t have one bad thing to say about them. The staff are amazing - so friendly and nurturing. The nursery itself is always clean and well looked after. The food is varied and my kids have never complained. I feel sad
that we won’t attend again. Thank you all so much for being part of my children's childhood and helping to shape them into the kids they are today.

My daughter is in the preschool room and since moving up has come on leaps and bounds. She has formed such special bonds since moving up and enjoys every day she attends. She will miss all of them when she leaves for school next year.
My son is in the baby room and the staff are all so lovely, caring
and welcoming. My son has progressed so much since starting and that is all down to the team. They always make sure he has so much fun while learning and he will miss them so much when he moves up to the next room.

My son has been going to this nursery since he was 18 months old. It was previously known as another name but came with good recommendations. Since the takeover from Kids Planet, I’ve noticed the difference with all the added extras like toys, meals etc that are now available. My son thoroughly enjoys
his time at nursery and now the pre-school so it will be sad when his journey here comes to an end.

My daughter started at Kids Planet Halesowen in January 2023 in the baby room and is about to transition into the toddler room.
The experience we have had throughout has been fantastic. All of the staff we have interacted with are absolutely brilliant but I need to give particular mention to two team
members who cant be faulted with their care of our daughter. You can see how happy she is to see the staff each morning and the bond they have is great to see. My wife and I were reluctant to leave our daughter at such a young age but there really was nothing to be concerned over and all of the workers in her room treat her with the same care and attention that they would their own children.
I would recommend Kids Planet Halesowen to anybody, and thank them for the care they provide.

We can't rate this nursery highly enough! Our daughter has settled in so quickly which I believe is down to how welcoming and friendly all the staff are. We are always very well informed about her day and her key worker is also very keen to work with us in how she handles our child and her development.
I never worry about leaving her in their care. The meal options they offer are very varied and nutritious as well. We are Highly impressed.

I love bringing my child here. The staff are all so welcoming and so friendly. They put you at ease and nothing is too much. I have never had a bad experience and every staff member always greets me and my child with a beautiful smile and friendly talk. They listen and deliver. I feel so at ease knowing
my child is well looked after and don’t worry at all whilst he is in their care. He goes with a smile and comes back with a smile and so many stories to tell me. Honestly can’t thank the staff enough they are truly amazing.

My daughter started the nursery in January 2023 in the baby room. As an early years professional myself, I knew what I wanted for my daughters nursery and Kids Planet has exceeded my expectations. The staff are all so welcoming and have built wonderful relationships with my daughter. They follow her
routine, make her days full of fun with exciting activities and always keep the app up to date with her care routines. I couldn't recommend Kids Planet enough and I am so pleased my daughter is happy and thriving at Kids Planet. Thank you to all of you for caring for my daughter.

My daughter previously attended this nursery until she was school age so I knew first-hand what an amazing educational setting it is. However, the nursery supercedes my previous views on the nursery and they go from strength to strength.
They have excellent facilities, which provide a fun place for
learning, whilst ensuring care needs are met. The children play and learn outside all year round, which I think is an excellent approach.
My son (being a 'lockdown' baby) struggled with new people, yet he has built a strong relationship with his key worker, other staff members and his peers in his group.
The regular photo evidence and discussions show how much fun he is having activities.
The staff are excellent at following up meetings and are personal in their approach, so I know that his individual needs are well met.
Staff are happy, friendly and nurturing while allowing children to grow both educationally and personally.
I have recommended the nursery to many others.

Both my children have been at this nursery since they were one and they both love it here. They have a great range of activities and a nice outdoor space. The staff have always been so caring with the children and friendly. My children are very happy here. I am glad we chose this nursery and I would
not hesitate to recommend it to anyone else.

Our daughter has attended The Green Nursery since she was 11 months old, therefore experiencing each room/age group within the nursery. Our entire experience of The Green Nursery has been nothing but positive from day 1. The staff are warm and welcoming and offer reassurance on the rare occasion our
daughter is upset at drop off.
Despite working with groups of young children all day, which we're sure can be tiring, staff remain professional and show enthusiasm when giving feedback at pick up.
Our circumstances recently changed, which meant the location is now out of the way from our home and places of work. Although it would have been easier for us to move to a closer nursery, the thought of leaving The Green Nursery and finding another nursery that met their standards concerned us, so we continue to send our daughter to The Green Nursery where she is thoroughly enjoying and thriving in her final group.

Changing to this nursery during COVID19 - really pleased with the communication with management prior to starting, very accommodating and knew this is where I wanted my child to attend without just viewing. Really great staff, facilities and learning journey.

My son has been in the care of this nursery since he was 6 months old. The staff and environment made this decision much easier. Knowing that my son was safe, cared for, valued and developing through the activities in place means that I will always remember his time here fondly. It has given him the
best possible start in his formative years. I will be eternally grateful to everyone who has been a part of his journey.

I look forward to my youngest being old enough to attend!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.883)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.883) out of 10 for Kids Planet Halesowen is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.883 for Kids Planet Halesowen is calculated as follows: ( (296 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 333 Ratings = 4.883

  • 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 Halesowen is based on 28 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 28 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.
