My wife and I have been delighted with the standard of care, support and teaching provided by the many different members of staff that our son has engaged with in the nearly two years he was there. All of the staff took a personal interest in him and his development, understanding well his interests
and needs. They helped our son to increase his self-confidence and develop all his essential skills, such as literacy, numeracy, social, personal and independence. Whenever he was upset about arriving, the staff were quick to help him settle and get into the groove of activities. He enjoyed the wide range of activities each day, both indoor and outdoor. Generally, we are happy with the variety and standard of the meals which were provided. The details and photos regularly provided on the website helped us to observe from his afar. Thanks to everyone involved.

My daughter has been at Kids Planet for around four months now and she has really settled in well. This is thanks to the amazing staff that have nurtured and guided my child into feeling safe and happy in a beautiful environment. Language and social skills have come on so far since she started and she
is really flourishing. The parent zone app is a really good idea that let's me know what she has been doing during her day on her exciting adventures. She absolutely loves going on their daily walks with the great team and I haven't looked back since switching nurseries.

The nursery takes care of my son really well. He speaks new words everyday which is amazing. We believe that he is very social, interactive and creative because of the exposure he gets in the nursery. Keep up the good work!

This week, my child has commenced their settling-in period at Kids Planet Carr Head Nursery. I am extremely pleased with the warm and comforting reception provided by the receptionist and all the nursery personnel towards both my child and me. It has alleviated much of the stress I initially anticipated.
I am eagerly anticipating my child's growth and success in this nurturing environment.

My daughter attends this amazing nursery and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to send her to Kids Planet Poulton Carr Head, she loves every minute of it.
From the moment I am welcomed into the nursery by the lovely reception staff to the moment I have left my daughter with the fabulous ‘rising
three's room’ team I couldn’t feel any more at ease about daughter's safety.
I have no complaints about this nursery. My daughter has learnt and grown so much and it is all thanks to everyone at this nursery!
Her key worker is so special and has made an impact on my daughter that will last forever.
I am so grateful to this nursery and would highly recommend.
After having my daughter attend another nursery in the area prior for a short time, I can say Kids Planet Poulton Carr Head is the best nursery in Poulton Le Fylde.

Our daughter has been with Kids Planet Poulton Carr Head for around 3 months now and we have been really impressed with everything about our experience so far. Everyone is genuinely caring and friendly, as well as of course being experts at what they do. It was a big deal for us to send our daughter
to nursery (she was 13 months when she joined) as she was a bit clingy and cried at first, but everyone was so reassuring, kind and professional, we have now come out of the other side and she loves it!
The meals are varied and the activities that they do, for example their morning walks to the park or to see the farm yard animals, are very engaging and cute! We get multiple daily updates on Parent Zone which is both reassuring and pleasant.
Our daughter has positively developed so much since she joined, thanks to the care and attention she has received from the whole team at Kids Planet. We all look forward to the days she is at nursery and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

My little one started here in September 2020, each keyworker has taken the time to get to know them, using techniques to allow their confidence to grow and they are always encouraged. Each day is completely different, the activities are varied and the outdoor learning is fabulous. All staff are friendly
and always available to discuss any matters raised. My little one loves attending and I have been very happy with the setting.

Our experience with Kids Planet Carr Head has been amazing. As a first time mum going back to work and putting my little boy in nursery felt a little scary and daunting, but everyone at Carr Head has been so supportive and caring, it’s really helped put my mind at ease. Our little boy is really enjoying
nursery and after only three weeks already has a great bond with his key worker. I feel really lucky that we were able to find a nursery like Carr Head and can’t wait to see how he develops.

Highly recommend this nursery. All the staff are lovely, and very supportive.
Both my boys love it and they have so much fun. My eldest was very shy, and barely spoke when he first started but now his confidence has grown so much, and it’s all down to everyone there who literally go above and beyond
for all the kids.

Fantastic key workers and staff. A new adventure awaits the children every day. Lots of fun activities and a great learning environment. My son enjoys singing and dancing to French songs and playing football with his little friends. The staff at reception greet the children with a lovely smile and by
their first names and go out of their way to help at all times.
The key workers and all the child carers are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond to ensure that each child is given the best care. The forest garden is wonderful as the children can play outdoors and do lots of fun activities there. The staff have gone out of their way to ensure that my son is happy and is in a nurturing place. They are a credit to the nursery. The smiles on the children's faces say it all.

Both my daughters attend Happy Days nursery with my eldest in pre-school and my youngest in babies. They both love coming to nursery and get so much stimulation and nurturing throughout their days. I feel totally confident leaving them in the care of the staff who have developed genuine connections
with the girls and with me as a parent. It’s a great environment for them to be in. From the staff on reception, who always welcome the girls by name to the key workers in the girls rooms. One member of staff is amazing and my youngest reaches for her every time in handover. And my eldest talks about two staff members even when we are at home and how she can’t wait to tell them what she’s been up to. They also offer flexible days for shift workers which is perfect for our needs as a family. They update me via the app with pictures and comments throughout the day, and I’m always envious of the menu. I’d recommend this nursery to anyone.

My son has been attending this nursery since he was 10 months old and he has absolutely thrived there. All the staff are so wonderful, they do a fabulous array of activities and he is always so happy to see everyone in the morning. I feel completely confident that my child is safe, secure, well-fed,
happy and entertained every day. The communication with parents is brilliant and I love the app where I can see what he's up to and get daily pictures. I couldn't be happier with our nursery experience so far.

My daughter has attend Poulton Nursery and Forest School since she was six months old, she is now nearly two. His knowledge and communication skills are excellent and well above average for her age. Definitely the result of the fantastic care and teaching she has received from the staff. The outdoor
areas which my daughter loves are the best out of anywhere I visited and the fact it is a forest nursery with the outdoor learning is brilliant for learning in the great outdoors. Highly recommended, my son is starting in a week too!

I was very nervous about my child starting nursery but the ladies in the baby room have really put myself and my husband at ease. They take great care of our little boy, so much so he can't wait to get down and play the minute we get into the baby room. He always seems to have a lovely day and is very
well looked after. We highly recommend this nursery and firmly believe our little boy is in the best hands.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.949)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.949) out of 10 for Kids Planet Poulton Carr Head 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.949 for Kids Planet Poulton Carr Head is calculated as follows: ( (355 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 372 Ratings = 4.949

  • 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 Poulton Carr Head is based on 31 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 85 number of registered child places is 17, which has been reached with 31 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.
