My daughter has thrived since attending. She absolutely loves going to nursery in the morning. Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, and nutritious food. I love the creative but natural play ideas the nursery have such as 'potion making' with different fruit and herbs. We love attending the
stay-and-play sessions too.
Nothing is too much trouble for the staff either.

The Ofsted inspection in summer 2023 feels appropriate. This nursery requires improvement. Very high turnover of staff, lack of continuity and poor communications, poor management culture, including not being open to improvements and feedback. The individual members of staff are well-intentioned but
the overall culture and lack of stability of the staff undermines the care provided.

Since starting this nursery, my son has achieved so much, starting with his speech. They all take pride in their jobs and have such good relationships with each child that attends.

My daughter attended this wonderful nursery from the age of 6 months and has recently left to go to school. From the very beginning, the staff have gone above and beyond to put me at ease from supporting her to transition from breastfeeding to bottle feeding all the way through to preparing her for
school. The staff are truly exceptionally gifted in what they do and my little one would not be the confident, clever happy little lady she is today without their constant support and encouragement of both her and me. She is already missing everyone there and all I can say is for any mums who are worried about leaving their little one as I was, they could not be in safer more capable and caring hands. Our journey with them has been so lovely and if I could give more than 5 stars, I would. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Thank you to all of you who looked after my daughter so beautifully.

My son has been with this nursery since he was a baby and has recently left to go to school. From the very beginning, he had a brilliant experience. The staff are truly amazing, supportive and very caring. I felt safe knowing my son was under their care. The activities for the children were brilliant
and inclusive. The food was great. They provide a well-balanced and healthy food range and take dietary requirements into consideration! I would recommend this nursery to anyone! Your child will have an amazing experience!

My 14-month-old has recently started at Kids Planet Stafford and, after a few tears at the start, he absolutely loves going. The girls in the baby room are brilliant with him they know his routine and what he likes and are always there to greet him with a smile. The difference in his development just
in a few weeks is amazing, we get feedback and photos each day which is always reassuring that he is enjoying himself.
The menu each day is really varied and sounds lovely, I very often get feedback that he ate all his meals and snacks.
It's a lovely nursery and I am so happy we chose to send him there.

Amazing nursery, amazing staff, nothing is too much trouble and my daughter loves going! The nursery has such a lovely vibe and, being completely neurotic about sending my daughter to nursery and visiting everyone in the local area, I had an instant calming feeling about here. The staff can't do enough
for the children and I feel completely content sending her.

Both of our children have attended Kids Planet, we have always had a fantastic relationship with the staff and our girls are always happy to go to nursery.
The staff plan fantastic activities for the children and all learning is based around play and the natural environment.
It would be nice to
be able to go back to collecting the children from inside the nursery (pre covid) to see them in their learning environment but other than that it's one of the best nurseries in the area.

Kids Planet Stafford is genuinely home from home for our daughter.
My daughter attends quite frequently full time and as full time working mum there is no better feeling than knowing you are leaving your child in the capable hands of the staff there.
We are provided with regularly updates on menus,
activities and photos showing our children and what they are getting up to.
The staff are approachable and on hand for any concerns, provide daily updates on routine etc so you get a real feel for how your child's day has been.
I would recommend this nursery to any parent, it's worth every penny for peace of mind that your child is being left in a loving, caring and nurturing environment!

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.
