We sent our daughter to Kids Planet and it has been a lovely journey for her. All staff members are so kind and helpful. We saw a great development on our daughter and she loved everything in the nursery. All activities done during her session were excellent. Management is really cooperative with parents
and attend all emergency needs. That makes our lives alot easier. We wish all the best for the nursery.

Fabulous nursery my little one has been going since June 2024 and has settled in really well and super quickly, was the best decision we made before I went back to work, has a great home from home feel. He has learnt so many new skills and have supported his speech coming along any concerns we have
had with any development they are straight there to support us in any way. Great choice of meals and healthy snacks which is a big must and gives you the peace of mind he is having something nutritious and great outdoor spaces for little ones to explore. Uses a great app so we can get updates and photos throughout the day of what he has been up to and super effective to be able to message and get an answer as soon as possible, an easy access to get to know the latest news going on in the nursery and everything is all in one place. Would highly recommend this nursery.

My twins started going to nursery end of September 2024, they found it really hard at first and used to get upset when being left. All the staff a very friendly and welcoming, my twins have settled in really well and will walk into the nursery in the morning now and say "Bye mummy". My twins also talk
about the staff and ask for them when they are at home. My twin boy's speech has improved so much since going to nursery, he used to say the odd word now is able to say 2 or 3 words together. I feel they have grown and developed so many new skills from nursery and that can only be down to the wonderful staff they have.

Great experience so far! The little boy started last June he has developed so much in this time. All staff are welcoming and have helped him settle from the beginning. Handover has been good love seeing daily pictures of his day on the app they use. He has developed a great bond with his key worker
especially and other staff in the baby room. The great open space layout of the room allows him to explore freely and wide range of toys/resources.

Choosing the right nursery for my son was a big decision, but I couldn't be happier with my choice. The staff are incredibly caring, patient, and genuinely invested in each child's wellbeing and development.
The activities are engaging, creative, and designed to support his learning in a fun and interactive
way. I love hearing about his day and seeing the excitement on his face when he talks about his teachers and his friends.
I always feel informed about my son's progress, daily activities, and any important updates.
The staff are approachable and always take the time to address any concerns or questions I have.
I have complete peace of mind knowing he is in good hands. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a place where their child will be valued, supported, and encouraged to grow.

All the staff have really helped my son settle in and I appreciate everything the staff have done for him they go above and beyond. I would always advise parents to take their children there. Both my kids go, and they've been so amazing to my children and make me feel they are safe and looked after.

My son's time at this nursery is amazing he loves going every time he has so much fun. The staff are amazing and care so much for the children and will keep you updated via the app, also gives you a handover at the door. My son is always excited to see the members of staff and always talks about them
at home.
Swapping to this nursery from a childminder was the best thing for him he settled in straight away.

I honestly can't praise the staff at Kids Planet Bulwell enough. They are all incredible and shower our children with affection. They are professional and personable and go above and beyond to help in any way they can. My children are learning important social and life skills here that will set them
up for success in the future.

What a wonderful, caring, compassionate and kind setting! Highly recommend. My boys have started here recently and we've had a lovely experience so far. All children are seen as individuals and treated with the utmost respect. They all toddle in each morning with different needs and moods and they are
each so lovingly received. The staff are outstanding. It's not an easy job but they don't let that show. Always full of positivity and ready to go. You just know your kids are going to have a good day.
They both come home fulfilled having learnt new things and with tummies full of nutritious food. They have a dedicated communication specialist who knows her stuff if you have children with speech delays. You get a comprehensive update each day that includes photos which I love. It's lovely to see what they're been up to. I'm so pleased we chose this nursery now. I can't recommend them enough.
Thank You to you all!

My son has recently started going to this nursery and he's still a bit unsettled as he's only 2 and it's all very new to him. But, regardless the nursery are doing a fantastic job with his development and are doing a fantastic job helping him settle in. It used to take him about half an hour to settle
down it now only takes bout 10 minutes! This is all down to the staff of course and knowing how to handle our child when he is very upset.
I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone considering it for their child. The staff are very welcoming and inviting. If you feel your child isn't settling well, the staff will let you sit in the class with your child so you can help them settle! AMAZING NURSERY AND AMAZING STAFF!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.875)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.875) out of 10 for Kids Planet Bulwell is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 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 4.979 for Kids Planet Bulwell is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.979

  • 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 4.896 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Bulwell is based on 12 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 67 number of registered child places is 13.4. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.4 = 0.896

  • 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.
