Kids Planet Mereside Farm work to provide children with a safe and secure learning environment, where both their care and educational needs can be meet. Activities at the nursery are tailored around each individual's needs within the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum.

A team of qualified and experienced childcare workers ensure that each child is able to meet their potential, and have opportunities available to them in all areas of their development and learning to aid this.

Each room at the nursery has a tablet available to record and track the progress of each child's journey and progression during their time at the nursery. This information is shared with parents using the 'parent portal'. While the pre-school room uses touch screen technology which is proven to encourage and assist with improving child participation, engagement and understanding.

During their time at the nursery, children are appointed a 'Key Person' who acts as a familiar face for parents and children on a daily basis.

My son has attended this nursery since January 2015. The staff were very helpful at settling him in. My son has a long term medical condition and as such needs some extra monitoring. They have always kept us fully informed of his day to day activities and if they have any concerns with is wellbeing
while attending the nursery.
I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

My son started his placement September 2015 at Mereside Farm nursery and I can honestly say it's a very happy and friendly place to be. The staff and management are lovely and very approachable and take on board any specific requests. I look forward to seeing the next steps in my son with the help
from the nursery and would definitely recommend the nursery to all.

I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff at Mereside for making my daughters transition into nursery as stressless for both of us as possible, in the first few weeks they always tried their very best to make sure I was comfortable and happy, the communication is excellent, this was very
important to me as I was able to relax knowing she is happy and enjoying herself.


Having looked round at a number of nurseries I extremely happy with my choice, I can already see a massive change in my daughter she is developing brilliantly and learning new words all the time. Keep up the good work!

My son attends here and has since August, the staff are friendly and do an amazing job looking after my son. He hardly communicated before but is now very confident and his learning is coming along brilliantly. My son now aged 5 attended the nursery a few years ago so it was without any hesitation that
my youngest was to go here.
Staff are approachable friendly and make the children feel safe and at home just what every parent wants to see.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.820)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.820) out of 10 for Kids Planet Mereside Farm 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.927 for Kids Planet Mereside Farm is calculated as follows: ( (165 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 177 Ratings = 4.927

  • 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 4.893 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Mereside Farm is based on 15 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 84 number of registered child places is 16.8. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.8 = 0.893

  • 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.
