  • Kids Planet Woodlands, Heywood
Kids Planet Woodlands in Rochdale provides a caring, stimulating environment for children

Situated in the Children’s centre and part of Woodland’s Community School, the nursery fosters confidence, independence, kindness amongst children and boosts their social skills and physical development.   

Children are independent and eager to learn. They serve their own meals, help to clear plates and wash their hands and faces.

The layout of the nursery allows children to self-select resources and direct their own play.

Children's physical skills are well promoted in the outdoor area and they have lots of opportunities to run, climb, and exercise while having lots of fun.

I am extremely pleased with the care my son receives at Kids Planet Woodlands. The staff's dedication to the children's development is outstanding. In just six months my son has made incredible progress in his social, cognitive, and emotional skills. The daycare provides a safe, nurturing environment
that encourages learning and exploration. The staff are kind, supportive and always willing to help, including organising extra activities for parents, which I find incredibly valuable. I highly recommend Kids Planet Woodlands to any parent looking for a pace where their child will thrive and feel cared for.

Our daughter attends the nursery and we can't fault the staff or the care given. Our daughter who is 2 years old started at the age of 7 weeks and enjoys going to nursery daily. She always takes part in many daily activities which are available to view on the app. The only issue is the rules the school
have implemented regarding access to the car park.

My son has been attending since he was 12 months old now 3.5 years old and still loves to go each afternoon. Being a first-time mum I had lots of worries, these were quick to disappear and never returned. I can't recommend this nursery enough. For my son, it's a home-from-home.

My son is 7 and attending to the afternoon school club in Woodlands since year 1.
He loves going there, they're offering a range of activities for the kids. The meals are good as well, he never complains. The staff are very nice and friendly, they're always smiling. They always inform me about his
day at pick up.
I recommend them 100%. I have peace of mind with them.

The staff are always polite and friendly when picking up and they always check that I am who I say I am via a password. My Nephew always seems happy when he comes out to me and tells me about his day at nursery.

All the staff in the after-school club are amazing! They make my son feel welcome and safe and educate life skills he will need growing up.
The manager is absolutely fabulous and always goes above and beyond in the care of our son and all the children but also supports us as parents when we are struggling.
My
son has been coming since he started in reception.
Now in year three, and still loves it like he did when he first started.

My granddaughter is 5 and has attended during the school holidays. She looks forward to going daily which is unusual for her, if she didn't like it she would not be keen. We received a weekly itinerary of the activities daily and these are varied, with a nice selection of different subjects and fun
days. The staff are very welcoming and professional and a good connection between staff and children is clearly observed. Lots of new friendships have been made too. Meals are provided by the club which appear to be healthy options too, a nice varied diet. I would definitely recommend Woodlands Holiday Club if you want your child to be stimulated in the long weeks.

The best nursery, the staff are amazing, and my daughter loves going to the nursery daily, she's come on so much and the management and staff here are so supportive and helpful. My son attended the nursery a few years back before starting school also and loved it I would never have sent my daughter
anywhere else!
100% recommend Kids Planet Woodland!

The nursery have been really accommodating with my maternity and looking for a new job coinciding with my baby joining the nursery, along with my eldest daughter moving from nursery to school and preparing her for that change. The staff are also so lovely and friendly.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.949)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.949) out of 10 for Kids Planet Woodlands 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.949 for Kids Planet Woodlands is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 176 Ratings = 4.949

  • 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 Woodlands is based on 15 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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8, which has been reached with 15 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.
