  • 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.

Kids Planet at Newbold has been brilliant with my daughter ever since she started there and she has come on leaps and bounds.
I wouldn't choose any other nursery other than this nursery as nothing is too much trouble at all and very approachable at all times.
All the staff and other parents are all
very friendly which makes it a nice environment to be in.

All the staff are polite, always tell you what's happened if there have been any problems. Happy to help with anything they can. My son loves going here and as soon as the door opens he is gone. The staff look after him and are helping him with his talking.

We have used Kids Planet for both our daughters and they have both absolutely loved their time there. The staff are fantastic and provide a wonderful, caring and stimulating environment for the children. We would definitely recommend the nursery to others.

Since my daughter started here, she has come on in leaps and bounds with her words, sentences and capabilities in every aspect. All the staff are great and reassuring. There's always good activities out for the kids. We just want to try and work on potty training now.

My twin daughters attend Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Newbold and have done for the past two years. The staff are just phenomenal. I sometimes struggle with having two, however, staff help and support me and nothing is too much trouble. The nursery needs a gold medal at times with some of the situations
they have had to deal with, lots of credit and praise should be given! We will miss the friends and family relationships we have made.

My Son has been going to this nursery for 15 months and loves it! I was at ease leaving him there to go to work under the care of the fantastic staff knowing he was going to be well looked after and cared for. The staff are always friendly and approachable and my Son has formed strong bonds. The environment
is always safe, inviting and brightly decorated throughout and always has stimulating activities for the children to access. They provide a healthy, well balanced menu which runs on a 3 week cycle and the children have both milk and water to drink. The outdoor play area is also well equipped and spacious. Overall my experience so far has been fantastic and would highly recommend this nursery to anyone. I have recently had another baby and she will definitely be going alongside my Son when the time arises.

Everyone at Cheeky Monkeys is professional, caring and excellent with our daughter. They provide interesting and fun activities which have developed our daughter into a confident and bright toddler. She has been at Cheeky Monkeys since she was 8 months old and loves all the staff and other children
like one big happy family. She looks forward to going to nursery and always talks about what she's been doing and how they are all her friends. The nursery isn't that near to our house but I wouldn't hesitate to send any other children we have to Cheeky Monkeys as the outside areas are much better than the ones in town and the carers are all fantastic.

Reply from Natalie Oldknow, Manager at Kids Planet Newbold

Thank you very much. We appreciate your feedback and we will always provide the best start in life for the children in our care and continue to help them grow and develop throughout their journey with us.

My daughter has settled in great. The staff have been excellent and very understanding when my daughter struggled at first. She has gone from disliking going to wanting to go. There is always someone available to talk to. The nursery itself is clean, activities are always set out for a range of choices.
I feel well informed about events, my daughter's progress overall. I will be sad when my daughter leaves next year. Well done to all the staff for their hard work on maintaining a fantastic environment for early years.

I would highly recommend this nursery, my little boy has been going here for the last year and really enjoys his time here. The staff are all lovely and all the staff get to know the children, so it's very friendly and inviting for the children. It has a lovely outdoor space too so the kids can play
out lots.

Since my son started attending Cheeky Monkeys Nursery in 2015. He has come along very well with his speech and with going to the toilet. I am pleased and happy with leaving my son with the staff there as they are very kind and caring and they also inform me on what he does for the day, and what and
how much food he eats.

Amazing staff, my little boy started at 6 months and with their support he's grown in to an independent, caring and adventurous toddler. The ladies at the nursery have become more like friends, than his day to day carers. He loves going to the nursery, learning new things and making new friends. I struggle
to get him to leave. Keep up the good work!

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.
