  • 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.

This nursery has made my daughter feel very welcomed and me as a parent too. My daughter loves going to this nursery she’s always very happy to go, she hasn’t been with the nursery long but she loves it and the staff. They work well with me as a working mum and very flexible, all the staff are very
polite, don’t think I could have chosen a better nursery for my daughter

The setting is amazing. My daughter is in the toddler room and loves going every single day she is going.
She is always excited to go and loves all the staff. She always loves telling us what she has been up to.
They are brilliant in helping potty train our daughter and always greet you with a smile.
The outdoor space is lovely, the rooms are lovely, and they always have something new out.
I wouldn't recommend any other setting. They are truly amazing.

We have had 2 children at this nursery. Our granddaughter, 4 and a half years who has now started school and our grandson, 2 years old.
Since becoming their guardians, we could not have managed without the care and support of everyone at nursery. The staff and management have always had time to talk
and support our needs. We have never had a problem with either child wanting to go and stay at nursery, in fact quite the opposite. Their development and characters have thrived at nursery during a very difficult and traumatic period in their lives.
Thank you to everyone at Kids Planet Newbold.

Since our son started attending nursery, we have always felt assured he is in the safest and most caring of settings.
The staff are all family-orientated and help our son explore new and exciting activities. He always comes home having learnt something new or having experienced a new fun activity.
We are always amazed at his progress week to week an how nurtured and safe he feels in their environment.

The progress my 2 kids have made is nothing short but remarkable. The Newbold team have been nothing but amazing to myself and my partner but also my children. Special shout out to one member of staff in particular as my daughter loves going to see him, and all the ladies in the baby room, my son is
certainly spoiled.

My child started in May 2019 and has loved every day. He’s moved throughout all 3 rooms within the nursery since starting. The staff are so supportive of my son and me and have been fantastic since the very first day.

The nursery has been excellent for my daughter who is now 2 years old. She has been attending once a week so far but will be moving to 2 days a week in the New Year, I feel the nursery and staff have gone above and beyond to provide a safe and superb learning environment for my little one who has Downs
Syndrome. The staff are very attentive and my daughter has really bonded with her key workers and I would absolutely recommend this nursery.

Kids Planet Newbold has been such a lovely environment for our little one. They worked really hard to settle her in and she loves it. The range of activities are great and we love all the drawings and crafts she brings home. Her vocabulary and speech in general have come on leaps and bounces too. All
in all a lovely environment for our little one.

Kids Planet Newbold is the best nursery I have chosen so far. All the staff are lovely and work very well and are patient with my daughter. She is always excited to go to school even though she hates getting up early in the mornings. She is always happy and very well looked after and they have been
brilliant with me too.

My child attends this nursery and we find it amazing for him. He’s come on so much since starting here, he didn’t settle well at first but due to the staffs hard work, he now can’t wait to go to nursery. All the staff there are amazing at what they do and always welcome you with a smile.

Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Newbold is a brilliant nursery, far better than the previous nursery my daughter went to. The daily updates on the app of what she has eaten throughout the day and the observations that are also put on the app are easy to read and understand. The staff there have always got
time to talk about how they’ve been and you never feel pressured to just get your child and leave. They have a lot of time for the children which shows when I pick my daughter up and she doesn’t stop talking about the teachers. Would highly recommend anyone to take their child or children here, five stars.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My little girl loves it so much, nine months in and she has come on so well. The staff are amazing. They have been so supportive of my little girl as she had milk and food allergies as a baby, requiring detailed attention. The app is also so helpful and reassuring
too, letting us know what she's had for meals, her nappies, her sleep and also what activities she has been doing, with an occasional lovely picture. This makes leaving her for work that little bit easier. I also feel a huge pro to this nursery is the separate baby room to the rest of the children. The separate sleep room with actual beds too is what attracted me to the nursery. Overall, I cannot praise the nursery and the staff enough. Thank you!

My son attends this nursery and although he hasn’t been here long he really loves it. He settled in straight away and has made friends already which is always really nice and reassuring knowing your little one is in a happy environment. The staff are all lovely and made us feel welcome from the start.
My son has a milk allergy which the nursery have catered for well and I get updates during the day so I know what’s he’s eaten and what he’s been doing. I’d definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking.

I have used this nursery for both my children and have always been happy with the care they receive. All the staff are approachable and they are happy to talk things through/work things out together. My child has really enjoyed being back at nursery since the lockdown and the staff have tried their
best to make this second transition as smooth as possible. They provide lots of different activities and the outside space is great.

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.
