Staff friendly, helpful and approachable but most importantly always looking after the children so well. My daughter is always happy and well cared for, with plenty of educational and creative tasks, ideas and activities being created.

My child has been attending Kids Planet Halewood since January 2024 and has been thriving since starting. She recently moved up rooms and at first, was slightly unsettled. The workers in her new room kept us updated on what they were doing to get her settled, adapted her key worker to someone who was
in for all the days my child was in. After a week of some amendments, my child was completely settled and was skipping into nursery. It's a lovely safe environment and my daughter loves her nursery days. The learning is age-appropriate and the workers take great care in working on key development objectives which we can clearly see at home. We're so grateful for all Kids Planet Halewood is doing to invest in our child's nursery development.

This is a lovely nursery and the care they give is amazing. They go above and beyond for my little girl and I couldn't ask for a better group of girls to look after her. My child is so happy and comfortable in the setting and has a great relationship with all the staff. Thank you so much Kids Planet

We were really apprehensive about our little one starting nursery especially as she hadn't spent any time with anyone but Mum and Dad. The first few weeks were really tough, emotional and long! But the nursery staff were incredibly supportive. We never worried about leaving our little girl there and
felt well-informed. 6 months on she loves going and we struggle to get her out! Thanks all!

My daughter attended when the nursery was Ducklings from 11 months old until she left to start school, and when we needed a nursery for my son we didn’t hesitate to send him here as well. He loves attending nursery, the facilities for him are brilliant, and there is a wide range of activities each day
for him to participate in. The best thing about the nursery though is the caring, fantastic staff who look after him. I feel safe in the knowledge he is happy and well looked after here. I would highly recommend Halewood Kids Planet to anyone looking for a nursery.

The confidence that my little boy has gained is thanks to the great staff here. They noticed his speech was delayed and helped not only him, but us in how to support and promote it slowly.

Amazing staff, always attentive, nothing is too much trouble. They are extremely professional, I feel very happy and at ease going to work knowing my daughter is in safe hands and happy being there.
There are lots of activities for the children to take part in. The selection of food is fantastic, my

I love how Kids Planet nurseries look after their staff, this makes a huge difference to them having security and prospects.
The staff have always been so caring and compassionate. My children have always been happy here and since Kids Planet took over the facilities have improved with fantastic investment
in the nursery, staff and children.

A home from home for our son. Always such a warm welcome. I couldn't recommend Kids Planet enough. The staff always go above and beyond to ensure everything is just right. Ant queries always dealt with promptly and efficiently. Such a safe, warm, happy environment for our son to grow and learn.
Thank
you, Ducklings, you really are the best.

Our sons have attended Ducklings collectively for over 6 years and we have always been delighted with the nursery. Since the takeover of Kids Planet, we have seen significant improvements that we did not anticipate. Little things like the smart uniforms for the staff and the offering of coffee to our
mornings have been lovely additions, however, the changes to the nursery decor and the new PE teacher have been quite significant to our youngest son's learning and contentment. I would recommend this nursery to anybody who was looking.

My son is the second child I've had at Ducklings - since taken over by Kids Planet. Both of my children have been content, well love, safe and have developed wonderfully. I would have no problem recommending this nursery to any of my friends or family.
Since being taken over, however, I have received
three incorrect invoices!

Fantastic, engaging staff. My little boy loves his nursery. Always happy talking about his daily activities and constantly comes home with artwork he has completed throughout the day. They have indoor and outdoor time. He has come along so much since he joined this setting.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.930)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.930) out of 10 for Kids Planet Halewood 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.930 for Kids Planet Halewood is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.93

  • 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 Halewood is based on 19 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 61 number of registered child places is 12.2, which has been reached with 19 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.
