My little boy has been at the nursery since he was 7 months old, he loves everyone there so much! He talks about the staff when he is at home all the time and tells us about all the fun things they do. The nursery provide so much for the children and always go off their interests. Their love for outdoors
is amazing, especially the fire pit sessions. We love all the updates and feedback from the staff. We are gutted that he will have to leave nursery to go to school soon.

Reply from Amy Carroll, Nursery Manager at Kids Planet Rugeley

Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are glad you have been part of our family for so long, and will be sad to see you all leave for big school!

Since our daughter has started here she's come on in leaps and bounds. I can't thank everyone at Kids Planet enough for what they have done for our little girl and being an essential part in not just her education but her overall development into a funny and very loud little girl.
She absolutely loves
going to nursery, I think if she could stay there 24/7 she would. She literally never wants to leave when I pick her up and ignores her dad when she gets there to go play with her friends and the staff. If that doesn't speak volumes about the place. The food as well is fantastic she eats better than me.
I love to see how she's doing and what she's getting up to do it's nice that they have an app where they will post a story time of what she's doing today with some pictures and then also what she's had to eat, gone to the toilet and if she has a sleep to which is all time stamped.
The staff are so lovely and friendly and you can tell they really care about the children.

Reply from Amy Carroll, Nursery Manager at Kids Planet Rugeley

Thank you for your lovely words, we are glad to hear that you are happy with how your daughter is progressing with us, and how much she loves coming, and how you enjoy the updates on the app too. Great to hear.

This is such a wonderful nursery. I really do feel like I am leaving my child with the experts. They make me feel so at ease about having to leave my child to go to work. He really enjoys going. They are always happy to give me advice when I ask. I never feel rushed out of the door, the team always
have time for you. Thank you so much for all your hard work. This place feels like an extended family and they offer regular parent events for you to attend. I love that they teach core skills and recognise the importance of the great outdoors. My boy has developed so much since starting here.
Outstanding service.

The staff are all so caring and friendly, and my child is so excited to go to nursery in the morning. They happily list off the members of staff in their room and tell me how they have played with them, fed them or helped them sleep. We have moved out of the area since we started at the nursery, but
I am more than happy to travel to keep our child in such a welcoming and safe environment where they have been for almost 2 years. Every week they come home thriving and learning new activities to teach me too.

Since joining Kids Planet Rugeley and starting in their Baby's room my son's confidence, social skills, and cognitive development have all increased massively. All of the extra activities the staff do with the children is brilliant. The care, helpfulness and personal bonds all the staff have made with
my son are fantastic. Each and every staff member are a credit to the Nursery. I'd highly recommend any parent placing their children in this nursery.

Myself, my husband and my little boy couldn't speak highly enough of Kids Planet Rugeley. My son is now 27 months old and has been attending this nursery since he was 9 months old. He absolutely loves it. The staff absolutely make the nursery a wonderful place, the manager is amazing, she is always
happy to listen to feedback, and help and support to make sure that our children are happy at the nursery. She is caring and compassionate but also very professional. The other staff in the nursery are also excellent, they provide the most amazing learning opportunities whilst showing care and compassion to all children. The staff know each child so well, knowing their likes and dislikes, always supporting the children to thrive. The nursery is amazing, from the staff; the healthy meals; the online app to keep us updated; the wonderful toys and space. We are so grateful that our son has had such a lovely start to his learning life.

Seeing the difference in my daughter from attending this setting is amazing. She’s learnt so much and has grown in confidence, and independence and her personality is shining. This is thanks to all of the staff and everything that they do. The activities that they set up and provide for the children
are lovely and focused on the children’s ages and interests. The staff go above and beyond in all areas and this has shown from the bond my daughter has with the staff there. The staff also upload photos, food, sleep and nappies each session which allows parents to see what they have been up to whilst working which is lovely to see and gives peace of mind. I honestly couldn’t ask for anything more.

I couldn’t fault this nursery! My child loves going in each day. The staff are always welcoming and friendly and the room is always inviting and clean! She gets a good balanced diet there and is coming away happy each day! The communication is great and all staff are always willing to go above and beyond!
All the staff, from when she was a baby, have understood her and cared for her! It is a real weight of my mind knowing that she is happy and loved each day when I drop her off and go to work! They are exceptional!

My son has been attending this nursery since he was 14 months old. He loves going. The staff are caring, kind and nurturing and the activities are tailored to peak his natural interests and develop his social, emotional, behavioural, and cognitive function. This is really important to us because he
was born premature. We can't thank the staff enough for everything they do for our little boy. Knowing he is happy takes away the mum's guilt.

After first using the nursery for my eldest who left two years ago it felt like returning to family when it was time for me to return to work and send my youngest to nursery. Lovely to see so many familiar welcoming faces when we visited. All of the staff get to know the children well and nurture them
to develop as individuals. Both my children have been very happy there. I would definitely recommend Kids Planet Rugeley to anyone.

Kids Planet Rugeley are undoubtedly amazing, all the key workers are so professional and show the utmost care to the children. My daughter has been there since she was 8 weeks old and the support they have shown has been endless. They supply all the main needs for the children including nappies and
milk (which is a super big bonus!) and have constantly kept up to date my daughter's needs. Big well done to the nursery.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.985)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.985) out of 10 for Kids Planet Rugeley 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.985 for Kids Planet Rugeley is calculated as follows: ( (260 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.985

  • 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 Rugeley is based on 22 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 69 number of registered child places is 13.8, which has been reached with 22 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.
