My grandson has been here since 12 wks old and he's leaving next week at 4.
I couldn't rate it higher - staff are lovely, couldn't help more and keep me informed of everything he does. I love the way all the food is cooked in the nursery. It will be a sad day when he leaves next week. Brillant place
and brilliant staff.

The staff at Kids Planet Day Nursery go above and beyond in their role when working with the children and alongside parents. Any concerns regarding your child are always taken onboard eg. potty training/eating issues and are practised within the nursery as well as what your child is doing at home. They
are friendly and approachable and will do all they can to put parents at ease. They are in very safe hands.

What can I say, my daughter enjoys the nursery so much, helped her settle in when she was upset to go, I can’t wait for her to continue her journey through the setting! I absolutely love the staff. Thank you for everything! Also, reassure you what your child has been doing, and if they have been ok
or not!!

Best nursery by far my two have both been here and they were both very wary of starting nursery but the staff managed to calm them down easily and in the end, they loved it. One has now moved into big school but the youngest is still here she loves coming to nursery now she has come out of her shell
so much since she started would always recommend here I would never use any other nursery

My daughter has attended the nursery since September last year and in such a short space of time she has come on in leaps and bounds. The staff are so caring and maternal and offer lots of good advice when needed (1st-time parent)
They have welcomed us as a family and my daughter is so settled. They
have lovely nice touches throughout the nursery especially the parent coffee station for me to grab on way out to work... helps with the morning madness.
Couldn't recommend the nursery enough.

My little girl has been coming to this nursery for nearly two years now since she was 5 months old. She absolutely loves it, with the care and attention from the staff she has become such a confident and playful little girl and she thrives from going to this nursery. I have had zero problems since
she started.

My son has been attending this nursery since early 2014 and I have never had an issue with the staff or the nursery itself. My son loves coming to nursery and is always coming home telling me about different things he has done. There are so many opportunities for him to take advantage of, the newest
is rugby minis. My child came home enthusiastic and was practicing what he had learnt that morning. Staff are so friendly, welcoming and I feel confident leaving my son in their care. He also has a balanced diet and eats different types of meals that I would not necessarily cook at home for him. I would recommend this nursery to any parent/guardian.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.950)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) out of 10 for Kids Planet Widnes 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.950 for Kids Planet Widnes is calculated as follows: ( (399 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 420 Ratings = 4.95

  • 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 Widnes is based on 35 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 35 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.
