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.

Our little girl is loving this nursery and wants to go every day. The staff are always happy and always make time to chat to you. We would not have chosen anywhere else. When you turn up 8 years after your first child was there and the staff are mostly the same, that says a lot. We would definitely
recommend this nursery to anyone looking.

Amazing nursery. The staff are just so lovely and my little boy is so happy there. I was so nervous leaving my baby and going back to work and they made me feel so comfortable and send me pics and updates all the time.

My daughter is currently in the Tots Room at Stretton Kids Planet. She started in the Babies Room - my daughter, husband and I have always been made to feel very welcome (especially considering she started nursery during the pandemic!). The team transitioned her between rooms effortlessly. The staff
have a great rapport with the children and get to know each child individually, so they can meet their needs. The daily activities are stimulating and diverse, and focused on age-approximate development. Meal times are great and my daughter always finishes her meals and often asks for seconds! The children play in the garden are daily, and enjoy the wide variety of toys and play areas inside too. We’re really looking forward to seeing her progress through the nursery.

I couldn't be happier I chose this nursery for my son. Despite his speech and social development delays, since participating at Kids Planet, he has improved massively and is learning/saying new things daily. The staff are amazing and friendly, they take their time to listen to me about my son and work
with me to help his development. My son adores going to nursery every day and has such a great bond with all the staff.

My daughter loves to come to nursery. I love all the different types of exciting and interesting activities that they do, such as yoga, nature activities, using real tools supervised. The staff are all supportive and make me and my daughter feel welcome and very settled in nursery. I love how the children
are encouraged to be independent to get ready for school. My daughter and her key person are so close and it's so nice to see her flourish and grow within the preschool room.

Great location for learning. Our son loves the outdoors and we are happy that this nursery makes the effort every day to take him outside. The food is excellent with a good and healthy variety, they cater well for specific requirements and special requests. The staff are great, all very positive and
really make the effort to engage with our son.

Overall happy with the nursery and support. We believe food can be more diversified and get healthier. They already eat snacks at home since they are pickier versus when they are with friends. We believe there is no real standard of learning assessment and how they progress versus peers. Happy with
staff paying attention to the needs of children and knowing them very well. There has just been too much turnover of staff which makes it difficult to follow sometimes.

The staff are caring, and our boys seem fond of many of the staff members. Any minor issues we have had have been addressed by management.
The online portal could be used more so we can see more of what our children have been doing each day and more photos etc.

We have seen an enormous, positive change in our daughter. She has settled, properly into the nursery. She is happier, more confident and self-assured as an individual. She is also, more sociable even with unfamiliar people.
We would recommend the nursery to other parents.

My son broke his leg outside of nursery and we were unaware as to when he should return to nursery. The manager and her team helped us through the return process and carried out the risk assessment and safe return protocol.

We are thoroughly impressed with the Kids Planet Nursery. All of the staff are friendly and the management will greet you and check things are okay. The confidence in my child has grown over the last 2 years. We have recommended the nursery to friends for their children, we couldn't be happier.

Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Stretton is a fantastic nursery. My three-year-old loves it and is always excited to tell me about his day. He's formed some really close bonds with some of the staff who are friendly and always keeps us well informed.
The facilities are excellent, particularly the outdoor
play area.

I have twin girls in Kids Planet Day Nurseries - Stretton and they are very happy there. The quality of care is excellent and they really care for the girls as individuals and recognise their needs. They went to another nursery for 3 months when we moved back to the area from Scotland but they did
not settle very well but as soon as we moved to Kids Planet they were much happier.

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.
