My little girl has been coming here since six months old and with the dedication of all the staff, our little one is becoming a confident bright little girl.
From our initial enquiry to look round to our first day to transitioning to the older room, we have had nothing but positive experiences from
the nursery.
Members of staff provide regular contact and also provide opportunities for parents to go in.
There is a variety of activities provided from the staff as well as local services.
Our little girl loves going to nursery and gets very excited when we tell her it's a nursery day.
We would highly recommend this nursery!

Squirrel Nutkins is by far the best nursery, the staff are absolutely amazing; so caring, supportive and adore each and every one of the children. My daughter has grown up in this nursery from being 3 months old- she wouldn't be half the little girl she is now without the nurture, guidance and love
she receives at this outstanding nursery. Highly recommend.

The staff at Squirrel Nutkins are so friendly and caring and my 4-year-old loves it there. I've never had to worry about him when I'm at work as I know he is in good hands.


The effort that goes into all of the activities (French, cookery, drama, football) is amazing.


I can't rate this nursery

highly enough.

Amazing nursery all staff welcoming. My child as only been going here for 5 months as I had to pull her out of her last nursery as the level of care was disgusting. She used to scream going to her old nursery but at Squirrel Nutkins, she loves attending and will happily go to a member of staff. Always
playing on arrival and staff always with the children at their level.

My daughter is 2 and a half and has been to this nursery since she was 8 months old! The staff are always polite. My daughter loves it. Every time I pick her up, she is always happy and tells me that she’s had fun and played with her friends. She always makes stuff and draws me pictures to bring home!
Wouldn’t take her anywhere else!

My son has just started at Squirrel Nutkins in the baby room, we were so nervous but all the staff have made us feel so at ease about the process. The settling in sessions were brilliant and the staff are always so friendly and helpful when you go in or ring up. I'm looking forward to watching my son
develop with the help of Squirrel Nutkins.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I have 3 children age range from 3-12 years. All of whom have attended one of the 3 nursery settings. I have remained with the setting for several years due to the ongoing commitment from management and staff and the continuous care and support that has been provided for all of my children.


Each

morning we are greeted with a warm and friendly face and made to feel comfortable. All my children have been cared for to a high standard and have settled really well into nursery life due to the nurturing support from the staff.


The team work above and beyond their expectations to ensure the children reach their developmental potential and this is monitored through observations of both staff and children.


Management are keen to develop the practice of all team members and are therefore encouraging of any relevant training courses.


I would highly recommend this setting and can reassure you that it's a great place for children to grow and learn.

I have two children who attend Squirrel Nutkins. Both children have been at the setting since they were both babies. They both love going to nursery and never want to leave when I pick them up. All the staff are lovely and I am well informed of their day. My children wouldn't be where they are now without
the help of you all!
Thank you! A highly recommended nursery!

My little girl has attended this nursery since she was 2, she's nearly 4 now. She absolutely loves going. My little girl is behind with her speech development, and with support from the nursery and all the staff, especially her key person, she is making amazing progress and is coming on so much. I honestly
couldn't thank everyone at the nursery enough for everything they have done for my daughter.
I also absolutely love the tapestry app, which nursery use to keep you up to date on what your child has been doing and what they are up to, and they upload photos.

My little boy has attended this nursery for 2 1/2 years now and my little girl for the last 8 months. It is a fantastic nursery, the children love it. There is always different things going on and the staff are great. I also work shifts and often need to change days, they always do their best to accommodate.
Wouldn't send my children anywhere else now and would definitely recommend it.

My son has been going to Squirrel Nutkins Nursery since he was 10 months old, he is now nearly 2 and we couldn't be happier with it! The staff are brilliant, so friendly and welcoming. My son loves his days there and often doesn't want to leave when I come to pick him up. The range of activities they
do with the babies is brilliant and the software they use to keep you informed and to log observations is fab.
I have and will continue to recommend Squirrel Nutkins to everyone.

We have had 2 children attend this nursery setting, I can't thank the nursery enough for their support, professionalism and dedication they have given to both my children and us as parents. Our children are adopted and my eldest was extremely difficult to manage due to the unfortunate start he had to
his life, with their commitment they helped us as a family to get through really tough times and they were always thriving to adapt to my child's needs. With my eldest now at school We have one child at this nursery, I have complete peace of mind that when my child is there he is happy, thriving and in the best of hands.

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.
