My son has attended Kids Planet since he was 9 months old and he is now in his last year at pre-school. He has thoroughly enjoyed nursery and has always gone in looking forward to his day there. He has met some lovely friends and the staff are great. He is more than prepared for Primary school in September.
My other son will be starting in September in the baby room and I am more than confident that he will also have a wonderful experience there.

My little girl has been at Kids Planet since September and absolutely loves it. They do so many fun activities for the kids, and you're kept updated of their meals, sleep, and even provided pictures of their day for peace of mind. Very happy with this nursery.

My son has been attending Kids Planet Crewe since January 2025 and the staff in the tots room have made him feel so welcome and cared for that he loves coming to nursery. We had a rocky few first days but the staff were brilliant with him. They keep us updated regularly and it's wonderful to see how
much he has developed in their care.

I really don't have a bad word to say about the staff and nursery.
They have been wonderful since my little girl started at 10ish months.
The staff and managers have always been so understanding whenever we have had scheduling issues on our part and have always worked to accommodate us.
We love
receiving updates and get them often, we never feel our of the loop. Our little girls educational development is coming along leaps and bounds, she runs in to meet her friends in the morning and is happy with every practitioner who receives her.


Toddlers has been especially exciting as her speech has developed amazingly and it's a testament to the hard work of the ladies in the room.


We are so happy that we chose Kids Planet, Sydney Rd. And would recommend to any parent.

My child absolutely loves coming to nursery - they have really got him in a great routine and have worked so well to settle him in and dealing with his separation anxiety and food allergies.
There has been a notable difference in how much he has come on since going to nursery and I can't thank the
staff enough. All staff are friendly and help me with my worries too so it's not just the children who benefit :) I'd give more stars if I could, can't praise the nursery enough

I am very happy with the service provided at Kids Planet, Crewe. My little girl absolutely loves going & always comes back super happy and tired out from the fun day they've had! It has also brought her on so much with her speech & interaction with other children. I've just had another baby & he will
be definitely going to Kids Planet Crewe when I go back to work!

Long story short, my daughter -currently 3 years old- attends this nursery since she was 6 months old, from September 2022.
I feel fortunate to have found such a wonderful place for my daughter to grow, learn and thrive, and I have no words to express my gratitude. I couldn't be more happier with the
care and education my daughter is receiving at Kids Planet.
The staff is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also caring, friendly, supportive, nurturing and dedicated to the children's development.
Each day my daughter is engaged in creative activities that stimulate her curiosity and promote learning.
Communication is excellent, through an app where I'm informed about everything: meals, nappies, sleep, learning stories.
They have their own kitchen, cooking fresh and different meals every single day of the week.
Overall, Kids Planet has exceeded my expectations.
Thank you to each and everyone of you!

My child is turning 3 in January but has attended this nursery since he was 9 months old. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. I visited all the nurseries in the area before choosing them and it was clear that Kids Planet Crewe are the best. My son has moved through the rooms as he got older and
in each room, there are outstanding members of staff. The two teachers in the baby room. The lady in Tots. The two ladies in toddlers. The manager is fantastic as well. My son is my first child and I have been an anxious Moma at times but the team has always been patient and understanding with me. I appreciate them so much and it made being a working mother so much easier. Thanks team!

I absolutely love Kids Planet and so does my son. Both of my children have done/do enjoy their time at their time at nursery. The staff are so accommodating and do such brilliant activities with the children to engage and challenge them in development. I love the updates I recieve through out the day
with pictures seeing what my son is up to. Highly recommend.

My daughter has attended for just over 12 months. I have found staff to be very open and supportive within that time. She has been supported to develop her speech and her confidence has increased beautifully since she started.
Staff are keen to support me as a parent also. We've gone through difficulties
as a family and staff are quick to offer support when needed and just general check-ins. We used cloth nappies prior to potty training and the nursery has been keen to support this. When we started potty training I was concerned we wouldn't be supported to continue at nursery based on what other parents have said about their childcare providers; however I found the opposite! Staff actively encouraged us to stop using nappies and just go for it and that's helped massively! Would highly recommend Kids Planet Crewe. The team are fabulous and my daughter is thriving there!

I have been really impressed with Kids Planet Crewe since my son started attending in January 2023. He started in the baby room and has just moved up to tots. The transition was really well managed and supported so he settled in as quickly as possible. I get regular updates throughout the day on how
my son is doing, what he is eating and how he is sleeping. I particularly love that they attach pictures of him engaged in activities so I can see how much fun he is having. They also conduct termly reviews and provide really comprehensive reports on how he is getting on with hitting milestones relevant for his age. I’ve never had anything but an incredibly positive experience dropping off or picking up my son from the nursery and every member of staff is positive, helpful and friendly. Even staff who do not always work in the room that my child is in greet him by name with a smile which gives the nursery a real community feel.

My son started at just 5 months and over the years he's become a very clever young boy who loves to help everyone from his friends to younger children in nursery. He has grown towards certain members of staff but overall they are fantastic and they listen to every concern or question you have.
I now
have my 11-month-old at the nursery full time and I trust them like they are my family. I will recommend this nursery to anyone who wants to put their children in childcare.

An amazing nursery. The staff are fantastic. I've had two children go to Kids Planet until they started school. The staff helped get our boys ready to start school. Highly recommend, you have piece of mind leaving your children here. You can also see on the app what they have eaten and they keep you
updated with pictures and assessments to show how well your children are doing.

It's the best place for children to be when they are not with you. Our son started to go to Kids Planet Crewe when he was 3 years old last year. From the first day, staff were supportive, friendly and caring. Never had any issues, all the time we have been given all information about our son's activities
every day. Our son has a speech delay, so a beautiful teacher in pre-school was and is working hard with him and supporting us. Helped us to see a language therapist quicker and helped with potty training too. He's very excited to go to nursery to see his friends every day. I feel calmer knowing that he is in good hands and with amazing teachers.

My child has been going since October when he was 9 months old, the staff there are amazing with him. I love the parent app as it is always regularly updated so you know they have eaten, slept, had their nappy changed etc. They also put pictures on the app with a description of what they have been doing.
This really helps put your mind at ease, as leaving your child after having 9 months with them is a daunting experience, but the staff and the regular updates on the app really help put me at ease. I would definitely recommend this nursery to people, as they liaise with parents to find out what you do with your child, so there is an easier transition into the nursery life meaning minimum disruption to their routine. I also went to my first parents evening there, and it was lovely to speak one on one with my child's key worker, to see where my child is at with his development etc. I really can't fault this nursery at all my child really enjoys going, and this is down to the staff.

Our daughter has just finished this nursery after 3 and a bit years, having started in the baby room. Next week she starts school and I have no doubt she is as prepared as she can be thanks to the support and learning experience she has had with Kids Planet Crewe. As full time working parents it was
the most important thing to find a nursery that our daughter enjoyed going to and who would look after her as much as we do at home. The fact that she is sad to be leaving and heading off to school means I know we found just what we were looking for. All of the staff at the nursery are friendly and supportive and I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone looking.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.956)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.956) out of 10 for Kids Planet Crewe 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 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 4.956 for Kids Planet Crewe is calculated as follows: ( (194 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.956

  • 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 Crewe 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 67 number of registered child places is 13.4, 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.
