Great experience all around for myself and my child. The staff are excellent and my child has a real bond with them. They go out of their way to nurture that bond and make sure my child has a great experience and enjoys his time there. The management staff have been able to handle all requests swiftly
and with attention. My child's development has came a long way since attending and I have seen first hand some of the activities they get the children involved in to provide fun learning experiences. The nursery is kept very clean and to a high standard. They use an app so parents can see moments of the child's day such as what they have eaten and how much, how much sleep they've had, nappy changes and learning experiences. It is an all inclusive nursery where everything from nappies to food is included in the cost so I only have to pack a spare pair of clothes for when the fun gets a bit messy. Overall have no complaints at all and am glad we chose this nursery for our child.

Our son has attended Kids Planet Nursery for over 1 year and has experienced both the baby room and the toddler room. The recent Ofsted report for this nursery was not a fair reflection of the care that is provided by the committed staff at this nursery, although it does accurately reflect that communication
and administration are two of the nursery's key areas for improvement. Improvement has been seen over the past 2/3 months in this space. I have no concerns about my child being happily settled and well cared for.
The baby room provides a tranquil setting for babies with safe opportunities to explore.
The toddler room is exciting, engaging and well-equipped with a good variety of toys and activities to support development.
Staff are friendly and approachable, although there has been more than one management change in the last 12 months. The app is well used by staff to keep parents informed of the exciting activities provided to children at this nursery.

My daughter absolutely loves going to Kids Planet. Her development has been phenomenal to watch and the staff address any concerns they have and are willing to work with parents ensuring that the developmental milestones are met.
My daughter is incredibly happy and it makes me so happy to see how comfortable
and engaged she is with the staff.
This has continued from the baby room (all of the staff who were wonderful) to the toddler room where she is currently.

He has developed so much in confidence since attending the nursery, and has a lovely group of friends he looks forward to seeing every day.

My daughter has been with Kids Planet Stafford for almost a year now. And my whole experience has been nothing but amazing with the staff. All the staff members are so good at what they do. My child has developed significantly in terms of communication and her eating habits. My only suggestion would
be to provide more information on the meals on the app. Including the details on whether it is shop-bought or cooked in the kitchen, processed/ultra-processed/minimally or unprocessed food.

Kids Planet Stafford has been outstanding with my daughter. Her development since being at the nursery is amazing to see, especially her social skills. Even though all of the changes, have helped her settle in over the last 6 months. The baby room team led by a particular member of staff are exceptional,
and is a credit to the nursery!

My little one absolutely loves it at Kids Planet! He is in the baby room and always comes home happy and tired after a fun-filled day! Drop-offs with a particular staff member are always smooth and no tears! All the staff are amazing and have a special bond with my boy! He has come on leaps and bounds
since being at this nursery! Couldn't be happier with our choice to place him here.
Never had a problem and the staff always update the app throughout the day and give a great handover when collecting! My little one eats a bunch of new and exciting foods here!

My child has been going to this nursery since he was 9 months old and he does so well. He has learnt so much, the staff have been so brilliant and if any issues or concerns I feel listened to and they take into consideration others.
The team have gone above and beyond with the children with food and
learning helping each child with individual learning skills. It takes a lot for parents to leave children in strangers hands but for my little one, it is a home from home.
So thank you to the staff at Kids Planet Stafford.

After having a bad experience at another nursery I went looking around roughly 6 nurseries in my area, Kids Planet Stafford stood out from all the rest in my opinion. The nursery was clean, tidy, and very welcoming and made me and my son feel instantly comfortable and relaxed, You could clearly see
the children were their main priority. From the settling-in days to booked days I can say I completely trust that his needs are being met. The staff keep us all up to date throughout the day and are very friendly. My son always comes home grubby which tells me he's had a good time being able to get his hands mucky. Thank you for making us all feel so welcome and being understanding of our circumstances.

Amazing nursery. Our little one was instantly more communicative after only a week and now months on is loving having friends to play with. He jumps with joy when we open the car door and he recognises where he is and where he gets to spend the day.
The staff are amazing and any member of staff you
talk to is always helpful and happy.
The facilities are also amazing and clean and a place you want your child to be around.
I've recommended this place to friends and after their viewing, they all submit an application the next day because it's such a nice place.
Loads of activities too. Especially in the baby room, they find ways to engage them and learn new things all the time.

Both of my children have attended this nursery, and have loved it. But I think most important is my son, who had major separation anxiety for the first two years of his life. The progress he has made here, and the confident, excited attitude he runs in and out with now makes me so happy. It's a lovely
space with a very kind and attentive staff.

We have seen our son go from a quiet and shy lockdown baby to a confident and adventurous young boy. He has formed unbreakable bonds with the assistants and children there that he won't stop talking about even when going to bed.
We've been able to rest easy and go to work knowing he's in safe hands
with people that encourage him to be the best he can be.
We will miss everyone at this preschool that's had a real positive impact on our son who now has the abilities equipped to tackle primary school without a concern.

My son has been attending since March 2024, and I would really recommend this nursery to anyone with little ones! I feel comfortable and relaxed leaving him there while I work, knowing that he will be well cared for. They serve a wide variety of food, as well as snacks throughout the day. My opinions
are respected and listened to, and they always support my decisions. My son loves the staff in the room he's in, which is clear to see when we arrive as he holds his arms out to go to them.

Amazing nursery, not one bad thing to say. Staff are lovely, nursery is clean, my son has come on so much since starting. His speech, he's interacting with other children, his eating is coming on as he was picky. I also love the little bags of things to do with the children, make insects, make fresh
lemonade which they supplied, we are currently making cress. There is a learning book on finding leaves, bugs, flowers, and birds which is a great activity to do with the children. Great nursery overall and I couldn't ask for anything from them.

I have two children at Kids Planet Stafford and they have been attending since 18 months old, until 4 years old they have gained so many friendships from staff and peers. Always a variety of activities and foods for them to try. The communication between parents and staff has massively improved and
always a warm good morning. My children love attending and exploring all the recourses available, especially the outdoor area where they have become more confident on bikes scooters and climbing. I would highly recommend it.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.727)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.727) out of 10 for Kids Planet Stafford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 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 21 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 4.727 for Kids Planet Stafford is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.727

  • 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 Stafford is based on 21 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 21 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.
