My son started at Kids Planet Eccles in the baby room in 2023 and has gone on to toddlers/preschool in 2025. He has loved his time at nursery, has built strong friendships with his peers, and has great relationships with all the staff he has met. His confidence has grown, comes home bouncing and enjoys
all the activities, outdoor spaces, and meals at this friendly, safe, and happy nursery. The staff are so kind and caring, they genuinely love the children and are very supportive of parents. Very glad we picked this nursery.
We are moving out of the area and we are so sad to be leaving! He is transferring to a different kids planet and we hope he will have as great as an experience as he has had at Eccles. A big thank you to all the Kids Planet Eccles staff for all you have done over the last two years!

Lovely atmosphere and staff are very friendly. My child settled in quickly with their key person, makes leaving them much easier. The updates are also really helpful and ease my mind. The rooms are homely and bright.

The building is lovely with a great outdoor area which we wanted for our son. Staff are welcoming and friendly, when started they helped with my son and settled him in really good. On the show around the nursery smelled nice and rooms looked homely. We get updates daily on a parent app, which puts mum's
mind at ease. Really happy with the nursery.

Our daughter has been in the baby/toddler room a year now. The staff are kind and understanding of individual needs and have encouraged her to really develop in confidence and really understand what she enjoys and her personality. It took a while for our daughter to settle but the staff were very patient
and helped us all through the process. The environment is set up well with a separate sleep room and a nice outdoor space. Our daughter loves nursery and runs out the house with her bag in the morning!

Both our children attend Kids Planet Eccles. We have one in the baby room and one in preschool. All staff are warm friendly and welcoming and always have so much time for the kids. Our daughter started in January and has settled in very well and has developed close bonds with all the staff in the baby
room. The room itself is lovely. Lots to promote learning and development. Our little boy loves it and gets on really well and is managing to develop his social and emotional skills really well now with some one-to-one learning which has really helped him. There is a great outdoor space for them to play in and this also has areas to build developments. They get plenty of food although the variety of meals doesn’t appear to be as big as it used to be. That being said, both children come home happy and are both well looked after.

Excellent local nursery providing a diverse range of activities, including visits to local areas and trips further away using the tram for preschool children. Our boy really enjoys the nursery and the selection of activities he talks about shows he has a good time, especially in the garden area.

Kids Planet Eccles has always been very accommodating of my shift pattern and we have always appreciated the flexibility hugely.
The staff are super friendly and are excellent with our son. He comes home very happy and fulfilled.
We would just like more updates on the app. These used to be very
regular when our son was in the baby's room but haven't been very regular since he moved up a room.
Thanks Kids Planet!

Lovely nursery, our 10-month-old has settled in really well, they have been attending for the last couple of months. Baby room is very welcoming and the room is extremely well-led with lots of exciting activities taking place. Our baby has bonded very well and very quickly with their key person which
is particularly pleasing as they are often wary around people they don't know as well. Their key worker always seems genuinely pleased to see them arrive and we have no worries about leaving them there.

I was a little unsure about leaving my little one with strangers at first, but the staff are all very warm and welcoming in the baby room and made him feel at ease. They play and learn all day keeping me updated with all activities and meals. My child has come along leaps and bounds since starting here,
he has strong relationships with the staff now and absolutely loves going to nursery.

My little boy has been coming to this nursery since December 2020. He was 10 months when he started, and now he is 2. He absolutely loves it. He’s been in two rooms so far and they have both been excellent. The staff handover is very informative, the staff are all very friendly and you can leave knowing
they are in safe hands. The app is brilliant for being kept informed with photos and any events. There are always lots going on too for your child to participate in. A lovely nursery, and would definitely recommend it. The meals are always nutritious and a wide range of variety - some things he has never had with us!

My daughter has attended Kids Planet Eccles since July 2021. All the girls were amazing with helping her settle into nursery life after only knowing her close family due to Covid. She has made amazing bonds at nursery and regularly speaks about the staff in her toddler room. The team have been amazing
at keeping me up to date on how she is and what she is doing throughout the day. The staff are superb with her dietary needs, which puts us at ease knowing she is safe and thriving. We always look forward to seeing the fun and creative activities she has been up to and love how she comes home every day so happy. The care the girls have for my daughter is evident and I couldn’t have picked a better nursery for her to attend!

My second child is currently at Nutkins.
She has settled in very well to the baby room and from the photos I receive she looks to be having a great time.
She eats and sleeps so well at nursery (much better than home) and has created a lovely bond with the staff working in her room.
Overall, I’m very
happy and would definitely recommend this nursery.

My daughter attended this nursery 3/4 years ago and my son started in November 2020. The staff are excellent at engaging the children and making them (and the parents!) feel comfortable. I am sent daily updates, photos, food diary relating to my child, all communication can be done on the app. Throughout
the pandemic the staff were brilliant at managing any issues. I am more than satisfied with my son's learning, well-being, and overall care and would recommend them to anyone in the area.

A really lovely nursery, the staff are just so friendly and engaging, communication is excellent with continuous app updates throughout the session on what your child is doing, has eaten, slept, played, nappy changes.
The nursery is a warm, stimulating environment with amazing outdoor space and resources
for the kids. I love seeing the fun activities my daughter has taken part in throughout the day. It's lovely the children can spend so much time outdoors when the weather is nice.
My daughter adores all of the girls here. They really are more like friends, if you're looking for a nursery where the staff genuinly care and create a loving bond with your little one, I'd 100% recommend this place.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.050)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.050) out of 10 for Kids Planet Eccles is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 8 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 4.833 for Kids Planet Eccles is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.833

  • 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 4.217 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Eccles is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.417

  • 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.
