  • Kids Planet Newbold, Chesterfield
Kids Planet Newbold is a nursery based in a small village north of Chesterfield.

It is at the heart of the community and is easily accessible by car or walking. The building was used many years ago used as an infant school, after being fully refurbished by ourselves it makes an ideal nursery setting.

The large outdoor play area has been ideally landscaped to provide children with an outdoor environment that provides all areas of learning; including a purpose built mud kitchen, climbing frame, vegetable plots and planters, outdoor classroom and sandpit. There are two main play rooms; Toddlers (2-3 years) and Pre-school (3-5 years) and a separate building for Babies (0-2 years).

The safety and well-being of your child is essential. A digital intercom entry system enables staff to identify all visitors before allowing anyone access into the nursery. A full HD CCTV system is installed and monitored daily.

I heard about how good Newbold kids plant was through friends made at a local play group, and a good friend of mine whose child had an amazing experience there.
The staff are amazing and quickly made a close bond with my daughter, she's become so much more confident since staring there its lovely
to see. It's really helped with her development milestones too, every day she seems to have learnt something new. It's such a warm inviting space for children to learn and grow and become independent, the staff are angels and just radiant warmth and love for what they do. Very lucky to have the best nursery on my doorstep, thank you very much for making the hardest transition of motherhood that much easier.

I cannot praise this nursery, the manager and the staff in the toddler room enough. I was dreading sending my son to nursery as he has never been left with anyone other than his nana, me and his dad. The staff made me feel so at ease and the manager answered all my questions both in person and via email
(very quickly). My son has settled so well and even when he was having a difficult transition period the staff did everything to make him feel welcome and cared for. I am so thankful I found this nursery for him. His eating has come on amazingly and his speech improved withing the first few sessions. Highly recommend.

My granddaughter has been coming to this nursery since September and has settled really well. The staff are attentive and compassionate, they always show an interest. They work on lots of development milestones and my granddaughter has really come on in leaps and bounds, her social skills are excellent
as a result of the environment and stimulation. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

My 3 girls currently attend Kids Planet Newbold, it's a fantastic nursery, all staff and management go above and beyond. The girls are always upset when I leave them but from the support and reassurance staff give, means they always have a fantastic day and are very happy when I pick them up. My eldest
who is 3 always comes home singing different nursery rhymes she's learnt, counting her numbers and practising her ABC's. Great communication amongst staff to parents. They use a fantastic app in which you receive photos of your child during the day, information on what they've eaten, nappy changes etc. Variety of different snacks and meals are also given. Overall brilliant!

My son has attended the nursery since the summer of 2022 and has been in all three rooms during his time there. The staff have been so supportive in all settings and his language, numeracy and general confidence have developed so much thanks to the hard work of the staff. We have loved our experience
at Kids Planet and will be sad to leave this summer when my son starts school.

I have had two children attend Kids Planet at Newbold, each of my children have loved attending and flourished in their care.
They have always been diligent with health needs and support plans.
I would and have recommended this nursery to parents asking for my experience with the service.

Two of my children have attended Newbold Kids Planet. My son is currently in the baby room and has been attending for 11 months. The staff are fantastic, so welcoming and warm. I get regular updates on my son's progress, along with pictures of him at nursery. They have been great when I have on occasion
needed an extra session and always try their best to fit him in.
I am confident that he is well looked after whilst I'm at work, and would definitely recommend.

My 1-year-old started at this nursery in November and the staff have been so supportive with getting her settled in. She is gaining confidence now and seems to enjoy going to nursery. They have been accommodating with her dietary requirements and really seem to care about her well-being when she has
been poorly. They seem to have a good range of activities for her to enjoy while she is there as well.

Kids Planet have been amazing in all aspects. My little girl cries most weeks when I drop her off at nursery, but all the staff are welcoming and offer to comfort her with a cuddle, which really helps with drop-off. We have also recently toilet trained her and the staff have been amazing with helping
her use the toilet and letting me know when she has had an accident. I am updated throughout the day with what my little girl has been up to and what she has eaten throughout the day and how much she has eaten. They also do tasks with her to check on her development and update me on the app along with photos. I couldn't ask for a better nursery. The staff are great!

The staff at Kids Planet Newbold are amazing! My son started at 11 months old and has been excited every nursery day since then. My older son went to a more expensive nursery in the area with slightly better facilities and food options, but in reality, Kids Planet Newbold is perfect for my younger son
as a smaller facility. He has such a great bond with all of the lovely baby room staff, which, to me, is the most important part of finding the right nursery for your child.

My daughter is welcomed with bright smiles and cuddles every day, in the toddler room right through to preschool. She can be a bit shy sometimes but once they encourage her to come to play she runs off without turning back. Her speech has come on leaps and bounds since being at nursery, and she’s flat
out when she gets home. The staff are brilliant and nothing is ever too much for them. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars out of 5 is that the afternoon kids don’t seem to get to do as much as the morning children/kids that attend all day, like visits from pantomimes, took to the park or the visit from Santa, this might just be the fact they can’t book them after certain times though, however, I don’t mind too much as I can do this with her myself, but it would be nice to see the afternoon kids get chance to enjoy it with their friends. However, the stay and plays are always lots of fun I look forward to them.

My daughter is quite shy and still gets upset each morning when arriving at nursery. The staff are always quick to settle her and talk to her in a way that calms her down, this is very reassuring for me as her mother to know that she is with such caring and attentive people when I leave. She always
says that she has had a good day when I come to collect her and tells me about the things she has been doing. She often mentions staff and the games they play together. Our overall experience of being with this nursery is nothing but positive.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.939)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.939) out of 10 for Kids Planet Newbold 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 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 4.939 for Kids Planet Newbold is calculated as follows: ( (247 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 262 Ratings = 4.939

  • 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 Newbold 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, 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.
