My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 9 months old and has genuinely loved it. She has learnt and gained so much and always been well cared for. The staff are fabulous and I would highly recommend.

Love this nursery so much, my daughter's nursery unexpectedly closed so we had to find a new nursery ASAP & this has been such a blessing in disguise! My daughter loves it here the staff are amazing with her and so patient. You can really tell they care about the children & it's not just a job for them.
I really do recommend this nursery. It takes so much to put trust in strangers to look after your babies but they make it so much easier here. Thank you.

The first child came from 1-4 3 days a week and loved it here. The second child is 2 and also loves it here. Love the open-plan downstairs space. Love they go on trips sometimes to the beach, pond and library. Would like more of this. Love the app. Both kids happy to attend from day 1!

Overall I think the nursery is amazing, my daughter loves it there.
I would like her to have more outdoor experiences such as trips though.
There is a lovely atmosphere when you enter the nursery and the manager is always willing to help. You can tell how much she loves all the children.

My little girl has recently started here and she absolutely loves it. The staff are incredible and her key worker is very involved which is lovely to see. I get regular updates and moments throughout the day which makes me happy to see that she is having the best time at nursery. The only thing I could
say is that it is very pricey but the care you receive is phenomenal. It would just be nice to see more value for money, like going out on more trips/outings, etc.

My child has really thrived during her time at nursery and this is all down the hard work of the incredible team who work there. The manager of the nursery is excellent and does a great job of ensuring that each individual child's needs are met. My child's key worker is brilliant and again understands
how to get the best from my little girl.
My hope is that now the nursery has been taken over it doesn't become too corporate, as the family feel to Squirrel Nutkins is what makes it so special.

Can't fault the staff for all they do for my son. Management are excellent, the only downfall is head office and trying to sort invoice issues with them. The nursery themselves are brilliant and my son thrives so much under their care.

My son has been in the baby room for over a year now he loved it, he is downstairs now so hopefully he will love it just as much as upstairs. My big issue is monthly invoices are mainly wrong. Plus why we still had to pay for the week the nursery was closed I still don't understand it, when it was your
choice to close the nursery over the festive period.

I was apprehensive about my two boys going to a nursery due to a bad experience with my two older boys.
We visited the nursery to look around and from the minute we went in we knew it was where we where going to place our boys. The staff where friendly and welcoming and the nursery had a good atmosphere.
The children all seemed happy. Staff had them engaged in activities.
During the visit my two boys straight away felt comfortable enough around the staff to play with them and talk to them.
From them starting at the nursery they have supported us with our child who has needed additional support. They communicate with us all the time about both boys. Having the use of the parent app to be able to see the boys progress is amazing. We definitely made the correct choice putting the boys at Squirrel Nutkins Nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.483)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.483) out of 10 for Kids Planet Clarence is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 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 4.795 for Kids Planet Clarence is calculated as follows: ( (112 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.795

  • 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 Clarence 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.
