My daughter has attended the nursery from ten months old and first started in the baby room. The settling in process was made so easy by the lovely, reassuring staff. I never felt rushed during the settling in sessions and from day one the staff went out of their way to create a special bond with my
daughter. Within weeks she would smile and clap as we pulled up to nursery in the mornings! Leaving her as a baby was so much easier than I had expected.
Now she’s in the Tots room and it’s much of the same. Kind, reassuring but knowledgable staff. As a primary teacher myself, I’m keen to hear about how the staff adhere to the EYFS curriculum and the opportunities for my daughter to grow and learn, and they supply this info with enthusiasm. On the flip side, I’m equally concerned about my daughter’s happiness and safety whilst at nursery and I couldn’t be happier with both aspects. She loves her days at nursery and I’m so glad I chose a setting for her where she’s happy and able to thrive.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

All the staff are fantastic and great at what they do - providing nursery care and early years learning. It comes across that they care and enjoy what they do. The children bond with the carers very quickly. I never worry about leaving my child there.
The indoors part of the nursery requires cosmetic
modernisation, but this is due to it being an old building. In particular, the preschool location which is downstairs and accessed by a narrow steep staircase. The recently modernised outdoors section has plenty of variety and toys to keep children entertained. The children get to spend as much time as possible outside. The additional activities - Stretch n Grow and Active Sport has been well received. However, they are an optional extra. The staff always have time for the parent's questions.
Overall - the nursery has a family, friendly and happy family vibe.

My little girl made the transition from another Kids Planet Nursery this year and has settled so well, she has grown in confidence and the staff are amazing with her.
Each member of staff has been really welcoming which makes us really confident in the care that she receives.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.633)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.633) out of 10 for Kids Planet Urmston 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 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 4.966 for Kids Planet Urmston is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.966

  • 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 4.667 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Urmston is based on 10 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 75 number of registered child places is 15. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.667

  • 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.
