This nursery and the staff are the best by far, my son loves coming here. The staff have been amazing in getting my child to where he needs to be for when he leaves. They are all so supportive and helpful. From my child's first day to now, I have seen amazing changes that the kids really benefit from.

My daughter has attended this nursery since July 2021 when she was only 9 months. It was hard when she first started as covid restrictions were still in place but we were able to look around the nursery after hours and felt at home instantly, then when she started we had to hand her over at the door
and the staff were always ready to greet her with a smile and a warm hug. She has come on so much over the past few years since attending and has even started talking about her day at nursery once home. She loves the activities they do and playing with the other children. We as parents love it when we get a moment for the day to see her happy and having fun as well as learning. It's such a lovely nursery and I'm so glad we chose it for our daughter.

Since joining in November 2022 - My child has flourished. At the start after my mum looking after her I was worried how she’d adjust and how I’d be. My daughter loves nursery and says ‘happy’ as we turn onto the road. The ladies are fabulous and really put my mind at ease. I’m a big believer in trusting
your motherly instincts and I know my daughter is in safe hands. It’s such a fantastic nursery - even though I live in Warton and there are nurseries closer, I couldn’t bring myself to leave as it’s such a brilliant place! Keep it up ladies you are amazing!

My little girl started in April this year and is flourishing, coming home singing songs and telling me facts about different things. The staff handle her brilliantly and she's come on so far already. The welcoming and educational setting is just made to support children's individuality. The teachers
as she calls them all have their own unique bond and understanding with her, she trusts them.

We moved our son here from another nursery and could not be more pleased that we did - he has loved going from day 1 and has built a wonderful group of friends here that he can’t wait to see every day. The nursery is the perfect size and the outdoor space is amazing - the staff are welcoming, available
and wonderful with all the children - my son has come on leaps and bounds here and I will be so sad when he leaves to go to school in August. I’m so glad we found Kids Planet Ansdell and moved him - definitely the best thing we’ve done

The staff are a wonderful team, and my son has always felt safe and secure going to nursery. We love the nature aspect of Kids Planet, and often hear about the various topics covered as part of the learning journey.
Feedback and comments are welcomed by the nursery manager, who works hard to accommodate
requests and answer questions. The garden could be bigger, but the resources available are great for the space. The nursery sits next door to our local park and playing field, so this space is also used regularly.

We asked our daughter what she thought about nursery and she says she 'loves it'.
We asked why?
She said because she gets to play, she gets to go outside, she gets dinner, she gets to play, have tea and go outside.
When we looked for a nursery we wanted her to have fun and be outside as much as possible,
so thank you for filling our brief.
I know she has learnt a lot too and it would seem she’s had fun doing out.
The staff are kind, nurturing, caring and always interacting with the children.

My son has always been quite funny about nurseries, he has never really settled anywhere until now! He will come home and talk about the day he has had and all the activities he has done and the friends he has played with, which is so heart warming to hear, especially as a parent. Of course we have
up and down days and on the days when he is a little sad, the nursery staff always ensure to comfort him and make him feel welcome. My son never stops taking about the staff and children there. It is nice knowing that my child is going somewhere where he is generally cared for.
Staff are very supportive of the child's development. I can see a huge change in my son's behaviour and independence as well as other skills and its great to see!
The nursery rooms are beautiful, the outdoor area looks like so much fun and the days out look awesome.
I couldn't be happier with where my son goes to nursery. Definitely the best nursery by far!

My son has attended since March 2018 in the Baby Room. He is now 15 months old and absolutely loves going to nursery. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, his key person is great with him and he goes straight to her every morning.
They have a wide selection of great activities which they do every
day, dancing being one of his favourites. They play in the garden every day come rain or shine as the nursery has full splash suits for all the children so they can jump in puddles. The mud kitchen is his favourite thing to play in the garden. They go to the park every week too as it is literally next door!
I would definitely recommend this nursery to everyone.

My son loves the nursery, he runs off so excited and always has tales of his adventures whilst at nursery. He is well looked after, the staff are fabulous, professional but still caring and super friendly - genuinely seem to adore the children and want the best for them. I'll be sad when he leaves in
July. Highly recommended.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.894)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.894) out of 10 for Kids Planet Ansdell 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.894 for Kids Planet Ansdell is calculated as follows: ( (289 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 322 Ratings = 4.894

  • 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 Ansdell is based on 27 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 34 number of registered child places is 6.8, which has been reached with 27 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.
