Welcome to Kids Planet Fulwood! The nursery operates from a stunning Victorian building with bright spacious rooms which are bursting with children’s next sense of adventure. The enchanted garden, brand new in October 2019, is a great place for children to explore and build friendships. They have an exceptionally large outside space all around the building and this really sets them apart from the local area. They are most proud of the staff team who are genuine, caring and most of all great fun. The teaching team are trained to the highest level and it is their support and respect for each other which makes Fulwood such a gorgeous nursery to be a part of.

We couldn't be happier with the care our toddler receives at Kids Planet. The nursery has a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts us at ease. The rooms are interesting with lots of engaging activities for the children to explore. The manager is incredibly accommodating, always approachable,
and ensures that all our concerns are addressed promptly and professionally.
The room leaders in the baby and toddler rooms are fantastic and genuinely invested in the children's development. They create a safe and stimulating environment with different activities each day. The staff are friendly, engaging, and truly go the extra mile to make every child feel cared for and happy. We are confident that our little one is in great hands and highly recommend Kids Planet to anyone looking for childcare.

Wonderful nursery with a focus on outside play/learning and encouraging the children to explore and be independent. Brilliant staff across the board, very caring and child-focused. There are also male members of staff who are brilliant role models for the boys. I am very happy to have sent my son here.

We could not be happier with Kids Planet Fulwood. From the moment our daughter started in the nursery up until her last day, we have been shown nothing but love and support. Our daughter has flourished and made strong bonds with staff and children.
The staff are so caring and hardworking.
What a
wonderful setting.

An amazing nursery that provides a safe loving environment filled with endless learning opportunities allowing any child to develop and grow. Outstanding members of the team who show genuine care and understanding towards the children. They build great bonds with each individual child which is a lovely
thing to see and also provides reassurance for nervous/anxious parents whose child is starting nursery. I was provided daily updates via the app as well as face-to-face interactions with nursery staff about my child's daily activities. Absolutely fantastic nursery!

It has been a pleasure looking after your daughter, and I'm sure when you're passing you will pop in to say hi?

Excellent nursery and the staff are all amazing! My little boy absolutely loves going and is so excited to see his room leaders and key workers. He is learning a lot from being with the other children and I can't wait to see him grow in the years to come.

Absolutely loved my child's time in nursery. He talks about the sports coach and all his friends. I feel his numeracy, sharing and social skills have excelled.
Extremely happy with nursery and my child is happy every time at pick up.

My son has really come out of his shell after initially being very nervous about pre-school. The staff are extremely caring and patient and have really brought him on to a place where he is more than ready for school in September. He also loves all of the sports and activities run in the garden and
can't wait to tell me about these at the end of the day.

Overall the nursery provides a very wide space for creativity, inclusiveness and learning environment for all the children there. It enables them to set freely into their imaginations, make their own decisions and explore different ways of approaching things. These were some of the things I wanted my
child’s nursery to have and they have certainly provided it.

So far, after experiencing a few bumps in the road at the start of my child's nursery here at Kids Planet, we couldn't have asked for anything more from a nursery.
My child has come on leaps and bounds here and we are so pleased for him! One member of staff especially has been a massive help.

Fantastic nursery, perfect for my son. He loved nursery every day, he loves the environment mainly outdoors which is perfect! Always comes home dirty at the end of the day, which tells a good story. Nursery nurses are all lovely and the sports coaches are fab, he gets to play football every day. Thank
you to all the crew - we will miss you.

The review really should be from our little girl who absolutely loves going there. She’s been there for around 2 months now and the growth in her development has really accelerated, which is helped by being nurtured around other children. I like the facilities they have to offer and the energy and effort
the staff put in to celebrate what’s going on in the world, making each day different and getting the children involved. The food has great variety and they really take time to tailor the needs of your child which I can’t imagine is easy with the amount of children they have. Overall we are extremely happy with our choice of nursery, it was the stand out candidate from the start

Kids Planet Fulwood have been great in working with me to accommodate my daughter's additional needs. They have supported me through the process of getting an EHCP from the start and happily agreed to me deferring her for a year.
They are professional, responsive and proactive.
Both my kids love it
here.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.689)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.689) out of 10 for Kids Planet Fulwood is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.689 for Kids Planet Fulwood is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.689

  • 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 Fulwood is based on 16 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, which has been reached with 16 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.
