Kids Planet Stretton offers children the chance to grow in confidence and develop at their own pace.

Managers and staff provide a broad range of activities which follow children's interests and meet their needs effectively. This setting is also Udeskole accredited which is Kids Planet's unique take on learning outdoors. As a result, children make good progress in their learning and are well prepared for their transfer to school.

Children thrive because they are cared for by staff who form close bonds with them and pay a good level of attention to meeting their individual needs. This means that children are happy and secure in the nursery.

A strong partnership with parents has a positive impact on children's well-being and learning. Parents appreciate regular feedback from staff about their child's progress at nursery. Staff work closely with parents to share information about their child's care and learning to ensure that needs are effectively met.

Each child is given a nutritious, healthy meal.

After moving from another Kids Planet due to change of location I can say my mind was put at rest quickly after seeing how my little girl was with the staff, 4 months in and I'm so impressed and happy we stuck with Kids Planet.
I love the fact that during this time of the year they spend so much time
outside and the activities always look so much fun.
My little one has been doing settling in time in the next room before preschool and has really enjoyed it.
Thanks for being an amazing nursery with amazing staff.

The nursery is great. The kids love it when it's a nursery day and always speak positively about it. The staff always put the children's needs first and are great at updating parents with what the children have been up to during the day.
They are inventive with activities and give suggestions of things
to do at home too.

Absolutely cannot fault the standard of care my son receives here at the Stretton branch. Never had any issues or complaints. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting over a year ago. He is always happy to go in and has formed a strong bond with all members of staff. He started in the baby room
and now toddler room and all staff encountered so far have been outstanding. He is always doing various activities, playing outside, eating well and so on and is always encouraged to explore his current interests and embellish his passions. The app is also a great tool to keep updated on their day-to-day activity.

My daughter loves her days at Kids Planet Stretton, she is so excited to see the staff in the morning she barely looks back now when we drop her off. All the staff are absolutely lovely, and it's obvious they all really care about all the children there.

We are extremely happy with how my child was welcomed in to the baby room. All the staff helped him to progress at a good rate, especially one member of staff in particular, who's name my child used to shout in the car on the way to nursery. We couldn't be happier with the care and support he receives
from all staff across both rooms.

Our children have been welcomed since day one, and we always feel reassured that they are well cared for and enjoy their time. We have seen our children grow in confidence, and this has been supported by caring and friendly staff. We particularly like the outdoor space, and we value the planning that
goes into all the organisation of activities and seasonal events. I would like to see a little more communication on how our children are meeting their developmental milestones and would value some advice on how we can support this at home also. We have been very happy with the nursery and will be sad to say goodbye once the children leave. Thanks to everyone.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.673)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.673) out of 10 for Kids Planet Stretton 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 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 4.985 for Kids Planet Stretton is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.985

  • 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 4.688 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Stretton is based on 11 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. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.688

  • 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.
