Absolutely fantastic nursery and couldn't have asked for a better environment for our daughter to attend. The staff are all wonderful and all really go the extra mile to make the children feel valued and cared for. Couldn't recommend enough and if you have the opportunity to send your child here you
won't regret it.

Fantastic nursery! My little boy is incredibly settled and is always excited to go to nursery and talk about his day. It’s clear that they provide a good level of learning and fun. My little boy is still a year away from school but can write his name and has a great grasp of number concepts. His dietary
needs have always been accommodated and KP Adswood have gone above and beyond to provide childcare that suits our work commitments.

Our daughter came here from a childminder setting and we were a little worried about her transition. The nursery was fantastic, and haven't stopped encouraging and supporting her since.
Every day we hear what she's been up to, how much fun she's had, and what she's learnt about. She talks so fondly
of all staff members and bounces out of bed each morning ready to go in for the day.
There's a huge variety of activities, and excellent communication from the nursery throughout the day (via the app). Our daughter has a food allergy, which is always catered for and never leaves her feeling left out.
The nursery has clear policies and procedures to ensure safety with food allergies, and in doing so has enabled my daughter some independence to know what she can or cannot select at meal times.

When my last started nursery, he was crying a lot. He didn't want to leave me. but the teachers at the nursery were so good that they hugged my son every day and they found a way to make him happy and make him love the nursery. He learned to speak English. I would like to thank all the teachers and
everyone who works there for all their help.

My daughter has been at the nursery for just over a year. She’s currently in the pre-school room and only has a few days left before leaving to start school! She has loved the nursery staff, making up games with friends, and most of all, the outdoor areas. I’d definitely recommend the nursery; the staff
are great.

Cannot fault the staff and team at Kids Planet. I started off with a very anxious 18-month-old who is now a very confident, clever, almost 3-year-old. They are so
caring and attentive to each child, and I think the thing I like the most is they listen to what you have to say as a parent they listen
intently, and they take it all on board.
Wouldn't send my little one to anyone else.

My daughter has absolutely loved being at Kids Planet Adswood, she has loved all the meals there and every single party time. She has experienced a lot and I'm very grateful for the staff. It's a shame she has to leave and I will miss her being there. Well done to all ladies at Adswood.

My son is in the baby room and loves going to nursery. He settled in really quickly and is thriving here! He gets excited to go and loves all the staff! We can’t be happier with our choice of nursery a real home from home feel with the way everyone cares. Staff are friendly and great help when we’ve
had questions as first time parents. The app is kept up to date and me and his dad love seeing the updates throughout the day.

The staff are very friendly, experienced and great with my kids. I know the children are learning lots and having a lovely time while I am at work. The activities are varied and inventive; children learn without even realising it. We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for an excellent,
educational and supportive setting for their child to grow.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.926)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.926) out of 10 for Kids Planet Adswood 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.926 for Kids Planet Adswood is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.926

  • 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 Adswood is based on 17 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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 17 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.
